You may believe it to be of G-d, you may even think you are sure but that does not change the reality of if it is of G-d or man.
So I thought I would ask you – what you think is the proper method to determine if something is of G-d or man. Or if you wish – how do you know if the money you have is good legal tender or counterfeit? I thought it very interesting what my friend at the Federal Reserve Bank told me about determining for sure if money is legal or not. Sometimes things you learn about the physical world are just as valid concerning the spiritual world and vice versa. This is because of the transitivity of Truth.
I am also conducting a test – to determine how based in reality you and your opinion are. While you are examining us – I thought I would examine you.

Hi Traveler,
I did not think I was examining you ( sorry if that is how it is coming across ) my true intention was to try and gain perspective of what and why you believe what you do.
If you would like to examine me, I have no problem with that. I can give you a head start if you wish, goes something like this{ I am a 40 year old male, no college education, had very little spiritual life to mention, made several poor choices, went through a personal journey to try and find peace and truth in God and after a while I landed in the Catholic Church. If you would like any further information about me ( to help in your examination ) please feel free to ask.
I did not realize I was conducting a test, but I will play along. The scripture accounts of the life, teachings, death and ressurection of Jesus Christ is the central bank in which I draw from to determine truth or non truth ( from God or man as you put it ).
I hope me and my reality have measured up to your expectations.
God bless,
Carl
