I have lots of questions and need lots of answers

I believe in God I believe in Jesus and rely only on him for my salvation. Unfortunately I struggle with trusting the Bible. My mind sees things that cause me to question certain aspects and I’m looking to see what others opinion or knowledge is on this. For instance……

John chapter 7:46-53. How did the author whether it be John or someone else, how did he know? How did the author know exactly what was said and happened between the soldiers and the Pharisees?

I heard someone say once that you cant fit God inside a box. The bible was written by people. I would encourage you to study other religions. Not to convert you but to open your mind. Learn about Judaism and Muslim and Buddhism and Paganism. If you want to know who God is you need to look past the four walls of the bible.

@NeuroticByNature that’s the things I have studied other religions lots and lots of them. Im obsessed with trying to understand. I’ve been most religions for a few years at a time but I’m always drawn back to the Bible. I just want to find peace with it. Thank you for your response though.

And I agree with you that the basis of most religions view the same omnipotent God but are seeing different pieces of Him. My beef is specifically with the Bible and only certain things in it. My goal is not to disprove the Bible I just need answers and the truth is maybe no man has those answers.

If you cannot believe God then who can you believe? Most religions do not view the same omnipotent God. I know plenty who do not recognize Jesus as the Saviour of this world, that say He was only a wise prophet. Jesus did not tell us we would know all the answers nor that we had to know all the answers before we follow Him. He did not give us all the answers for good reason. There's some things that we were not meant to know until we cross over. But the most important thing he wanted to emphasize, is not have our minds wandering on all these other things, but in how to have salvation, which is the most important thing we could ever know, because what we believe, determines where we will spend eternity. That's all we need to know and God did not leave us to guess on that. He said, I write these things so that you will know how to have salvation. Read first John 5:13. The Bible answers every question we have in life and he didn't want us guessing because guessing will not lead us to heaven. He even came down from heaven so we would know and not have to guess how to have salvation. No other God has done this. Not only that, He gave his very life, so that we could be saved. That's another thing no other god has done. We must either trust him all the way or not at all. Nowhere in Scripture is reincarnation taught and one of God's Commandments is not to worship idols.
