No, even if you're right that means that you found that specific set of biblical claims to be true. You understand that books can be correct about one claim and still wrong in another, right? Spiderman comics take place in New York, which is totally a real place, but that doesn't mean Spiderman is real. You are vastly overstressing your case here.
Quote: There is nothing I have found to be false concerning what I have been told or promise thus far. Therefore i have taken that resolve and applied it to the rest of scripture.
Why not investigate all the claims on their own merit and find out which are true and which are false? Let me guess: because then things that you want to be true, won't be?
