Truth can be obtained through proof and faith working together. This is wrong.
Truth is "contained IN the Bible" in what Christ Jesus said about his followers, his Kingdom to Come, and what that addresses about the earth for all Eternity. As he told his followers to pray "let thy (his Father's) Kingdom come, your will be done ON EARTH as it is IN HEAVEN," and also, "the lion shall lay with the Lamb and a little boy shall lead them." So we see that the earth has a role to play in God's future for us all, when peace reigns not just between humans, but between animals, also.
As the Bible says, "Faith without Works is Dead." (James 2:26)
And, as the Apostles noted before they died, "However, the inspired utterance says definitely that inlater periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons. 2 by the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, marked in their conscience as with a branding iron; 3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM FOODS WHICH GOD CREATED to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who have faith and accurately know the truth. 4 The reason for this is that every creation of God is fine, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving. (1 Timothy 4:1-4).
So, sounds like Priests unable to marry or to eat Fish, etc. There are other examples though. Just a thought, no hate mail please, save it for someone who cares and won't delete it without reading.

You are asking and answering your own question in reference to your believes.
For me the truth is relative. Some people can be 100% sure that God exist and others can be 100% sure that God is an imaginary thing. In science the truth of today can be partially or completely false tomorrow. The truth of a Chinese can be very different to the truth of a Amazonian Indian.
The only real truth, in what I'm 100% sure, is that all the things change.

confident, this is right. many people have provided this paradox at countless circumstances, yet I keep getting the conventional evasions like "god is basically too mysterious to comprehend" and so on, or the wide-unfold "god exists exterior time and area" neglecting that meaning he can not be somewhat of any limited timeline reference physique, and so no person even recognizes the truthfully logical paradox on the middle of the declare. It does spotlight that good judgment won't be the stable factor of the claimants. Omnipotence is a nonsense besides for many different motives too e.g. an all-powerful god is a factor of the 'each little thing' this is the universe, so can not be any much less limited than that universe. If he's all-powerful he's without constraint, so the universe ought to be without constraint. meaning it has no truthfully nature, so life itself has no nature. that ought to point there is not any distinction between life and non-life, that's additionally a paradox. as a result any god that exists ought to be limited with the help of the reality hat he exists, so can not be unconstrained i.e. all-powerful.

But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?" -Matthew 26:54
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." -Matthew 4:4
Jesus knew the Scriptures were from God and teach us these ultimate truths from him, do you believe Jesus? You cant get the written truth from the world, only from the Bible which God has preserved so that we could all know the truth.

Friend, the meaning of faith doesn't have anything to do with logic or proof. It is believing. Now I understand that the concept of trusting something that you can't see is to hard for some people to believe. But if you were to tell me that God created the Earth in six days and a rest with spoken words that became reality (which I do believe), that would be the equivalent of telling me that grass grows. I don't need to much proof. =)

If someone argues about a tree, One says, "The tree is green!" and the other person says, "The tree is blue!". Then someone must be wrong, two people can't be right. Either the tree is green or the tree is blue. Either God exists and has the power to throw us in hell ,or God is what athiests say he is.
There's a 50/50 chance that we all could be wrong...I hope we all make the right choice.

Knowing nothing would be nuetrality. Thinking one knows when ones information is false is far worse than neutrality. You, in this case, have substituted one undefined term (right) for another undefined term (truth). Thus your statement is vacuous. If one wishes to be able to provide proof, deductuive or inductive, biblically based Christianity is impossible. It's texts and theology are a mismash of contradiction, and its claims donot stand to scientific investigation.

Very good philosophy. Truth hardly depends on what I think.

The problem is how will you know the truth even when truth is staring at you and it is evident. Truth is but a perception of our mind.

You seem to assume that only choice or truth can be correct.
That too is your choice. But that doesn't make you correct.
