I want to adress what you said earlier.
"Men are fallible, God is not and as such we can only trust God's word not men's words."
I agree that man - singular is fallible.
If man is fallible that means that it is very hard for him to get along with his fellow man.
If they do not get along they disagree. When they disagree an opportunity is created for them to argue, discover and learn.
If they, through this process of reason, manage to discover some divine grain of truth. That truth will permeate the concsiousness of all men who understand that applying the knowledge gained will improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Proving the truth by manifesting it into their reality through working and refining their understanding.
Their fallibility is not detrimental to their pursuit of truth but the reason for it. When they form cults and groups it is a competition for truth veracity and dominance. The truth always wins in the end.
Sometimes God gifts us by injecting truth directly into our world. Like Exodus 20 God introducing himself to Moses and the life of Jesus.
We fallible men who are originally created in the image of God are the benefactors of divine truth and seek to understand it and when we realise something profound we seek to preserve it. I believe that this is a miracle of creation. That men could discover truth by reason of desire to understand pain and suffering in a dark world.
This makes the love of Christ for the oikoumene in John 3:16 more powerful and understandable. Because if God loves anything less than that He is diminished. When claimed that men who are created in His image and animated by his spirit are less than capable to discover, understand and manifest truth in the world. All glory to Him for being the source by virtue of being the creator. We can clearly see where he injected truth directly into the world.
