Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
Knowing the truth is more than being able to quote the scriptures. The Pharisees could quote the scriptures but few of them had any understanding of the Father's purpose and intent. The Apostles were recognized as a faithful source of truth as they had been personally selected and taught by Jesus Christ and could give witness to the events of His life, death, and resurrection. Our knowledge of the truth depends on how we value it and what we do with it once we understand.
