Actually, I have no way of knowing for sure. But it's not so much deciding what is true (for sure) vs what is not true (for sure). It's what makes sense or not. E.g., "Love your neighbor as yourself" makes sense. Sending me to hell for not speaking in tongues does not. Killing babies makes no sense at all. Taking virgin girls as spoils of war does not. Thou shalt not steal makes sense. Don't eat shellfish doesn't. Etc.
