What is the impact of what we recognize as valid sources of knowledge on our ability to believe? If the Bible is the Word of God as I believe it is, then it is our source of knowledge about God, who He is, what He likes and dislikes, and what He expects from us. What happens to our possibility of believing exactly what the Bible says if we give more credibility to other sources than we do to the Bible? Two examples stand out in my mind: scientific sources and religious sources other than the Bible.

What is it that personally encourage you to give more credit to what God says in His Word than to other sources of knowledge, whether religious or scientific, when these other sources come in open conflict with the teachings of the Word of God? Any thoughts on these issues?

I first posted this question about Sources of Knowledge and Ability to Believe, in August 2014, at Christianity Board forum. Please Feel free to join me on that forum and to interact there, as well as, of course, on the present forum.
