This is why Christians believe the scriptures as the word of God as it tells us everything we need to know about life and godly living.In actuality, there is no man living today who can truthfully claim to speak FOR God. Myself, I speak to Him everyday. But, that is between me and God and nobody is accept it as truth, because it is not their business.
AND, importantly, is a common point of belief to structure a fellowship of believers.
Of course people will still diverge and run around wildly sometimes...regarding the Christian faith.
2 Timothy 3:15-17
New King James Version
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
