How can you be certain what others tell you is really the truth, or inspired by God?

Isaiah 8:20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
God's Law - 10 Commandments and the Testimony of the prophets in the Bible.
Try them by the Bible, if it contradicts it then they are not of God.

I don't know that you ever really can. You can research it on your own. If you don't find anything in researching it to oppose what the person has told you, I guess you have to go with what your heart tells you.
One good rule to keep in mind: The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior.
What I mean, is if someone has been dishonest with you on another topic, or in the past, the odds are that they will be dishonest with you at some point in the future as well.
You can tell sometimes by eye contact. If someone has shifty eyes or has trouble looking you in the eye, that can be an indication of dishonesty.
All I can really tell you, barring facts, is that you have to trust your heart on this one.

truth has facts which can be shown (knowledge or information based on real occurrences). "Inspired by god" implies faith, which has no basis in fact but only belief..... one thing you can trust, you can trust the really smart people will figure it out and tell us

If it is of God, there is no questioning it. It simply is. If it is from others, you can question it a million times and still not get an answer.

truth is reflected by a simple mean- staring into the eyes of the person who speaks to you. if you see the confidence in him/her or if he/she stares you back and looks into your eyes without bowing his/her head as if in shame.... you will know that it a 100% truth

A baby has blind trust that her mother will nurture and care for her properly. Blind trust that she will be fed and fed the proper foods. Blind trust that she will be loved.
