if you keep praying and praying for a feeling that its true or not then you’re going to believe god says it is if you want to believe

there’s a lot of room for bias form yourself in that method

You don't pray for a feeling. You pray for certainty. Either something is true beyond a doubt or it is not. One would think that an answer directly from God would be the only thing in ones life that one could ever be certain about....and all else the dream or vague uncertainty. The cost is that with testimony comes responsibility.

I think it is likely that Jesus was literate. The Gospels talk about the early life of Jesus and how he conversed with the scribes.

Then we have the many lost years. Some speculate that Jesus travelled far and wide. Folks that travelled were often more literate than those that did not.

Certainty is a feeling
