Right Or Wrong Beliefs

Genuine question:

Is there a right or wrong way to believe the Bible?

For context:

I am talking to someone on TikTok, and apparently while we were chatting, the more we chatted, the more this person made me question whether I was believing the scriptures that I know incorrectly. This person was making me doubt the way I understand Bible Verses, and I don't know if it is right to feel uncomfortable about what is happening, but I feel uncomfortable because I don't understand if he is just trying to change my belief or what version of the Bible even this person is reading.

This is what makes me feel uncomfortable: This person said that He does not feel a genuine desire to share the words of God, in other words, he is being forced to share the words of God

My point is: Is there a right or wrong way to believe the Bible? Please enlighten me 😭 I don't want to be led in the wrong perspectives by people 😭

Let me give you an example:

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and not with your own understanding"

I believe that when you resent me this, you wrote it in a different version, so my question is, how do you understand this message? Because to me, I understand it as "Trust in the Lord no matter what happens because you might not understand why you are experiencing what you are experiencing right now, but the Lord knows why you are experiencing what you are experiencing, and He is telling you to trust in Him because His way is better"

Thank you

I'm no expert but I think u you should be guided more from compass inside, check with your heart how an act would make u feel if u were on the receiving end of it (empathy) and nothing wrong in discussing with the right authority or experienced senior.

@Om2014 I'm not disagreeing on anyone, just confused now

@JesusIsWithMe confused about your belief on bible or the way u interpret it or the person :/

Any sentence is open for different interpretations by different minds. If your beliefs are shaken u need to re assess your understanding of it by yourself in isolation first, if it doesn't help seek the help of a senior whom you rather trust
