I trust people a lot

I trust people a lot. Is that okay? I readily trust you. However, should I quit trusting people and helping them if one of them can't trully be trusted. Should we keep proving people? Should we just trust, or should with trust - with the evidence that you are trustworthy???
 
I trust easily sometimes but it doesn't take much to break that trust. I let others gather whatever evidence they need to determine if I'm trustworthy.

:chin I think we are supposed to do good to people who even hate us. To lend to people who can't pay us back. I don't think we should stop helping people we no longer trust. Easier to say than do of course.
 
You should keep trusting people. There are FAR more good people than rotten, as you no doubt already know. But, you now what? Being a trusting person means that ocassionally there will be someone who will take advantage of you. It comes with the territory.

Exactly! And the only way to 'check it out' (confirm its validity or truthfulness) is to compare it to the Source of All Truth, which is The WORD of GOD: as it is written, 'let GOD be TRUE, but every man a liar; that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and mightest overcome when thou are judged' (ROM3:4). Certainly, then, you may trust someone who is speaking TRUTH, if it be that they are speakiing WORDS already spoken by GOD, or, if they agree with Sound Doctrine (TRUTHS derived by rightly-dividing the WORD).

Unfortunately, though, because not all bibles agree, even in their very first sentence (GEN1:1), not only is it obvious that the WORD has been perverted, but people are now divided by these differences and can no longer work together for the Common Good or come togther in the Unity of the Faith, much as what happened in the days of Babel. But The LORD'S SHEEP shall know HIS VOICE! Bottom line: trust no one but GOD, or you shall be as Eve, who trusted her husband, and ended up dying for it.
