Paul specifically tells us that we should NOT believe something "just because we are told"

Oh, really? I am still waiting for some solid proof that what we believe in is objectively verifiable.

Oh, really? I am still waiting for some solid proof that what we believe in is objectively verifiable.

Paul took the scriptures he referred to as true, I surmise, because Jesus did also. I don't know what you would accept as objectively verifiable, since it is well established that the historiography of the Bible is legitimate. I also don't know if you think that Aristotle or Plato ever lived or wrote what many think they wrote, or if you think that George Washington ever lived, etc.
