Odd, with all that, it doesn't look like you answered my questions. You've appealed to two authorities - the word of God, and your gut. But you say you don't trust man (which includes yourself and your gut) and you don't know how you know the Bible is the word of God.

Anyone who doesn't agree with you, you claim is deceived. How do you know its not you that is deceived? Wouldn't someone who is thoroughly deceived claim to have the gut feeling, but not be able to rationally explain how they know their ultimate source of truth is actually the truth?
