1. They shouldn't. They should trust what the Bible says as final authority.
2. Humans are imperfect. Listen to the good things, throw out the rest, read the Bible and be happy and blessed
3. We need no other argument, we need no other plea. It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for us :)

1 You have a soul
2 You are constantly in touch with that soul
3 If you really listen to your in most self you will know what is true because you have a soul.
Your soul will resonate with the truth but YOU are the only person on Earth that has access to your soul. God and Co have access but they are not exactly of this world.

If they are honestly seeking God then the will believe what the bible says about God first. Next, I would define the words for them from the original text Greek and Hebrew (Interlinear Bible and Strong's Concordance). Lastly, what I say will agree with what they read after defining the words on their own.

You can't trust and believe anyone. You can only find and believe God on your own. People can answer questions and tell you where to find them. You get to do the work and make up your own mind. If you've never looked for the answers, don't assume you have them.

1.. Because I have no ulterior motive and no reason to lie.
2. What I say comes directly from scripture and is in proper context, read the word yourself and see if its true.
3. Because it makes no difference if you believe me or not, its your free choice to accept or reject Gods word. If you do accept it and believe in Christ you will be saved, if you reject Christ you suffer the consequence of that decision.
4. I care little if you do or do not accept it. God said it, its the truth, and I believe it.

Personally I believe that NO ONE should follow BLINDLY. What I mean is that it is wonderful to learn about religion, arts, music, anything... but to be honest, you can't believe all you read in books... and yes I am an author, but I even say in my book... don't take my word for it... do your own research! Believe half of what you read... and QUESTION all of that!
No one should simply believe... because I said so, or because you said so, or because she or he said so! Belief should be based on education... meaning really learning and learning and learning some more about what it is you want to try to believe in.
I think that the population of Christians is so high... not because the practitioners of that faith truly understand it but because they were told to believe it... I SAID SO! And so they most often blindly believe it.
As with other religions too... they parents often tell the children what to BELIEVE... and because they are a trusted figure... they/we believe!
I think that no one should just blindly believe that research should be carried out, that soul searching should be done and that a lot of questions from a lot of sources should be asked, compiled, studied and then only half believed!
But no... I don't that anyone should believe just because someone told them too... sorry.
And I have come to believe in many things... but not without research, not without a foundation and a background...

I know with absolute certainty that God The Creator is real... and I know with absolute certainty The Truth of The Salvation Message... BUT, you should not take my word for it... nore the word of any mortal.... I can help you in your seeking for The Way... but I can not "prove It" to you... nore can any one else.... If you have a question concerning The True Christian Faith you may email me.... one honest question will receive one honest answer to the best of my ability.... or you can check me out at http://www.mikesfaith.com .... but the "proof" you seek can come only from God.

1. I have studied Christianity and other religions in college classes.
2. I have studied Christianity and other religions through independent study (books, articles, documentaries, etc.
3. They shouldn't be "Believing ME, anyways." They should be believing their hearts and the revelations they receive and find. Maybe I'm a part of that.

You shouldn't
Something someone says shouldn't be said for prideful reasons, but come from a humble and contrite heart
What that person says, (should they open their mouth to tell you anything), ought to be confirmed by another source.
And three....well, the listener has to want to believe what they hear. A ready heart, so to speak.

If one that proclaims truth can not back it by the written word of God then don't believe him or her. If a man says he loves God yet hates his brother (anyone) he is a liar and the truth is not in him...
