You state that you question everything? Question that!

Well....

I do question that! Because, 'as the bible was intended' was also written by humans. Emphasizing something doesn't mean that its true and unquestionable.

Even the existence of Jesus is questioned by a lot of scholars, because he was not written about until about the 3rd century AD. I don't know if he was real or not, but like I said, I have to question everything.

well, then the first thing you might want to question while the clock is winding down, is your own salvation.

“I have to question everything.”

And that's good ... the more you question truth
the more it reveals it self... as does a lie.
But ...
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

People believe what they want to believe ....
no facts or information changes it ... because we chose which facts and information to believe .
A paradox.
I think that's why God made salvation so simple.
Accept that all have sinned ... a no brainer
Accept that Jesus .. God in the flesh, paid for your sins with his blood.
Is resurrected to life, defeating death and the grave
And accept the free gift of eternal life.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

People believe what they want to believe ....
I believe this . What do you believe?
remember Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Actually, a case can be made that the four Gospels were written before 70 AD. As far as secular sources , Jesus is mentioned in Josephus, the Roman Historian Tacitus, the Bar Kobha letter, Roman Governor Pliny the Younger,and Roman Historian Suetonius, who mentions Jesus and His execution by Pontius Pilate.

Two books that might help you:
