I make models for decision making. In particular, I like to classify ideas into three categories: things I believe, things I trust, and things I consider. I am a catholic and I believe in God. There are very few ideas that I would classify as my beliefs. However, there are many ideas that I would classify as having some degree of trust in. In general, I trust in the bible. By this, I mean that I trust that the words I read from the bible are a result of God's guidance of others and these words help people to make 'good' decisions. I believe that God guides people. Anyways, I consider and maybe even to some degree trust that God intends each of us to believe in the few significant ideas that we encounter and our beliefs can often lead to trust in other ideas that are not as significant and God doesn't intend for us to believe in these but merely develop a degree of trust.
A way of describing how I distinguish my beliefs from my trusts is: If I believe in something, then anything I see will not change my belief. However, most of the things I trust in come directly from what I see and hear.
IIN to not believe in the old testament?
