I can't until they explain themselves and one can plainly tell from the Word of God if what they are saying is true or not.

Don't tell me what you believe or how you believe without expecting a response from the scripture.

Be careful, Charlie ...you're getting awful close to worshipping a book. The more mature Christians learned not to do that long ago. The Bible is a book and has no divinity in and of itself. Remember, Jesus is 'the Word'.

It's not worshiping it's believing, there's a difference.

But I will add this, the Word of God is alive, it's powerful, sharp as a two edged sword that cuts to the bone and marrow, it discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This would be something you would know nothing of, it's spiritual, the scripture says we must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

There is also a difference between fantasy and reality?

The Spirit of life dwells within all living things.

Not all of us base our lives and our beliefs on scripture, but of course I know many do. Scripture isn't fact, but just another belief like any other IMO.
