Dear John

['Your reason is that I looked at the meaning of the words God inspired others to write and logically figured out what something meant where as you have spiritual insight that others do not have...."] 

["Why should I trust that your beliefs are the only true beliefs. You have not shown me any proof."]


Let's do some dissection, why not?


First and foremost please do not trust my beliefs.  OMG.  AND one person's proof is not another's.  So my proof won't work for you.  Proverbs 3:5,6  Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, on understanding do not lean.


Logic:  Reasoning(1) conducted according to strict principles of validity.


Validity: cogency.  The quality of being valid(2) and rigorous.


Cogent:  Appealing(3) to the intellect(4) or powers of reasoning,(5) convincing(6).


Cogency:  authority(7), conclusiveness(8), convincingness(9), effectiveness(13) , force(10), persuasion. 


Rigorous:  Extremely thorough(11), exhaustive or accurate(12)


(1)   Proverbs 3:5,6
(2)   Matthew 6:9-13  anything else apart from these is not valid Logic does have a place
(3)   1 Corinthians 6:16
(4)   Matthew 16:23
(5)   Romans 3:10
(6)   John 20:29
(7)   Matthew 28:18
(8)   Ecclesiastes 12:13,14
(9)   2 Corinthians 10:4,5 
(10) 2 Corinthians 10:6
