Do you believe what makes sense to you? Do you believe what certain people you trust tell you to believe? Do you believe what makes you feel good? Do you believe what you see?

These questions were inspired, if you're wondering, by, among other things, the Universal Reconciliation debate. Does UR make more sense to some people than eternal torment?
Whenever I point out that something doesn't make sense, it is often pointed out to me that God's ways are not our ways. In other words, God doesn't have to make sense to us.
Does that make sense?

I believe whatever my Truthometer 1000 tells me. Sometimes it leads me to believe what makes sense and sometimes what trustworthy people tell me and sometimes what feels good and sometimes what I see. It's been known to be wrong before though. However, my Truthometer 1000 comes with a self correction feature so that even when its wrong it eventually will correct itself and lead me to believe the truth given enough time. However, I'm unsure that there is enough time in my lifetime for my Truthometer 1000 to correct all its mistakes. So, I just trust that it'll lead me to be closer to the truth instead of further away from it when all is said and done

lol. There is something I find interesting. There are some algorithms for solving problems that after the first few iterations may actually appear to be further away from the correct answer than they were previously. However, after more iterations they actually get really really close to the correct answer.

But the problem is, I believe the Bible is true, and we believe differently. THAT is why Timothy asked the question. How do you come to the conclusion that what you believe the Bible is saying is true and what I believe the Bible is say is false? ( I know!)

No - that's is not why Timmy asked. If I am correct, Timmy does not believe the Bible is true and infallible.
Infallibility of the scripture is a good starting point. All disagreement stemming from two who affirm is due to human error on their part.
