Substance/evidence is confidence, not proof/absolute certainty.
Don't prooftext, harmonize 2Cor. 5:7 with Heb. 11:1!
In your opinion is the entire Bible "inerrant" or "infallible" as it relates to scripture?

So exactly do you explain that there are 10's of thousands of Christian churches that read the same bible as you but vehemically
So how do you explain the 10's of thousands of Christian churches that disagree totally with each other. Can christians who disagree vastly about God's Word all be correct? Each and everyone would agree they believe "Thy word is truth"
They why have Christians even killed each other over their belief that only they understand the "truth" of God's word. Can each of the 10's of thousands of different kinds of Christianity who claim to believe this statement all be true?

Truth is from Scripture! Many people, like you, don’t read to see if what is being taught is Truth.
There is only one Truth, one God the Father, one Son and Savior, one baptism, and one way to get to heaven.

There is only one Bible and one Truth, not many. Just like there are only 2 genders, not 7 or more!!
Yes, I believe that the Bible is without error because my Lord said so. John 10:5. Peter says that Paul's writings are scripture. 2 Peter 3:15-16 And Paul says that all scripture is inspired by God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
1 Corinthians 2
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

What does it mean? If its not in the Word ,to me many words are useless They are just man pleasers sayings
John 17
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You don't understand faith, substance, evidence, confidence, proof, absolute certainty
and how to harmonize Heb. 11:1 with 2Cor. 5:7, Rom. 8:24, John 3:16, etc.!
I share the substance and evidence in my CC threads, mainly these:
Apologetics: Witnessing to Atheists - why faith in the NT God/Christ is the best belief
The Kerygma: the Christian Creed - GRFS, revelation, kerygma & didache, perseverance, dynamics, proto-Gospel,
The Holy Spirit/God’s Word – Triunity, spiritual dynamics, sanctification, prayer, inspiration
The TOJ - listing the teachings of Jesus
The TOP - enumerating the teachings of Paul
Key OT Teachings - teachings closely related to NT teachings
KISSed HOB - summarizing the history of signficant beliefs
The Didache: Doctrines That Build on the Creed – cf. The Kerygma
Hermeneutics – Pauline methodology harmonizes Scripture and promotes unity
Resolving Problematic Interpretations of Scripture – TULIP vs. MFW, Sabbath Law, baptism, tongues
Systematic Bible Study (SBS) - GW in Romans, Parables, Ephesians, John, Revelation
I boil down the evidence based on general revelation as the Propensity Principle.
I boil down the substance regarding God's requirement for salvation per the NT as the Christian Creed.
