The Way You Know Matters Of Christ And God Are True

Someone might ask, “How do you know that the things Christ talked about are true? Why isn’t science, or any of the other religions unharmonious to Christianity, or the many inconsistent philosophies out there, alternately true?” When someone has faith the way prescribed by Christ in Mark 11:22-24, strange things start happening to that person in subtle ways – consistent with things written in the Bible. (It really is amazing!) Among the unusual things that start happening to that person, is his fundamental behavior starts improving in a natural fashion – and this emergent goodness, can be seen to be constant in all situations in his life.

Now consider a good / just society, and also a lawless society. Which one is more likely to be in line with, and to speak the truth about things? The good / just society. Now when someone has faith correctly, he exhibits a constant goodness that cannot be found anywhere else (i.e. through the pursuit of science, incompatible religions, incompatible philosophies, etc.). This means that that person is uniquely aligned with the truth. Therefore having faith the way prescribed by Christ in Mark 11:22-24 causes a constant goodness to arise in someone, attesting to the fact that the path that person has taken, is true. Also, when someone has faith the way prescribed by Christ, he notices that things around him are as described by Christ in the Bible and other texts.

Therefore the way you know matters of Christ are true, are: 1) due to the fact when you have faith the way Christ said you should, unique, emergent, fundamental good arises in you, which attests that you aligned with the truth; and 2) you get to see for yourself, that the things Christ talked about in the Bible and other texts, are true.
