This thread was created to continue from the questions about Islam round 4 thread, and focuses the discussion around certainty in faith and how this is achieved.
The question is directed to members of all religions, and is not to attack or entrap any particular faith or group.
How do you know that the revelations you believe in are from God?. What are the fundamental principles of the faith you hold to be true which proves it is from God? and how did you become certain your faith is the truth?
Simply answering by
“I believe it’s from God because the bible/quran/etc… says so…” or
“I believe it’s true because my parents / pastor / priest / imam told me it’s true…” or
“It’s the faith I was brought up in”
by themselves, the responses above are not sufficient because in the first case the origin of the book itself is put to question, and secondly, citing other people is not considered to be decisive evidence.
