Trying to see the "positive" of Christianity.

I trust it, as I trust that the church fathers and others that compiled it, by means of my own study, to be as perfect as it can be. Before I moved to that position of trust, I was as skeptical as yourselves. Once you trust and accept it as correct, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Yes, I ate it. Wait, no. No I didn't.

This is why I was asking earlier, is that you can know each verse is from God by virtue of the verse itself, or is the whole book or whole chapters, and if it's the latter, how would you know, if individually you can't know?

For the pudding example, is it the whole experience of the bible or is it each and every instance of the bible that it's you knowing it's divine?

I know I felt Quran was Divine before, but that was through belief. If you believe, it feels it's from the divine, since that it is what you believe.
