Yes. You are indeed confused. Just try bypass all the words. Praying is the answer.
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Welcome to the conversation SkyWriting. Perhaps I can coax you into an answer that doesn't involve "praying" or "knowing god"? My question posits that a creator is real and that one religion or sect of a religion is the correct path to God and heaven.

Faith cannot be used, as all religions have faith that their's is the one true god.
Praying cannot be used, as all religions pray to their version of god.
Personal experience cannot be used, as most religious people have personal experience that their god is real.

Now, how is it possible to know 100% that the Authentic Version line of Bibles are Divinely Inspired by God, and the NIV was corrupted by Satan without using the above items to come to this conclusion?

Consider this my "Apple Challenge" if you must AV.

Are you going to keep asking this question over and over; despite the fact that I answered it already?

... Einstein says that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Scientists will not accept that as dogma, they will try to find a way to prove him wrong, or at least get around it. If he is wrong we will celebrate that day.

I think Einstein proposed the wormhole which would result in distances traveled faster than the speed of light. And Sci-Fiction writers have been partying a lot ever since.

I asked one of the resident "experts" here if he thought Jacob's Ladder was a wormhole and got some vague reply, so I just dropped it.

I have Faith that you will understand me and that you are actually a real person. - So you must disqualify any answer.
My answering would require my praying first. - So you must disqualify any answer.
And this forum qualifies as a personal experience between the two of us - So you must disqualify any answer.

Plus your question requires belief in
Satan,
God,
NIV,
Corruption of Creation,
ability to know right from wrong,
All these are parts of my faith...so your question disqualifies itself.

These people want us to provide enough data for our belief that it can be what they call 'falsifiable'.

Why? in my opinion?

So they can falsify it, of course.

But God is much smarter than that.

His miracles cannot be falsified, as they aren't channeled through science.

The Einstein-Rosen bridge is a mere hypothesis. If it crosses the realm of hypothesis then it will be celebrated. As for your second comment, I have added emphasis

No, no, no you misunderstand me. I am not trying to scientifically falsify your deity. I am merely interested in how you come to your conclusions.

The fact remains. Catholics think they are right by the same standards you think you are right. Muslims think they are right by the same standards you think you are right. How then is it that you are right and they are wrong?

You are avoiding the meat of my question. Perhaps it's not even possible to answer the question without using the methods I asked you to exclude. In which case my conclusion is that it is impossible for any religion to know for 100% that the god they worship is the correct God.

If your answer is Faith, then just say Faith.

Yes. Your question requires Faith and so is disqualified.

The number one reason is the Word of God.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

No comment.
Muslims think they are right by the same standards you think you are right.
No comment.

No comment.

Come now, AV, surely some comment is required. Otherwise we might assume you have no better reason for supposing you are right than muslims do. And then you will have admitted that your theological position is based on nothing more than blind faith.

My position on how the Bible pwns the Koran is well-known, isn't it?
