2000 years ago, how did Jesus know about advanced cultural anthropology, sociology, ethics and human behavior, if he was not God?
Even now, humans have yet to figure out many of the truths he told us.

>bible alone.
The Bible without the Church means your own destruction. Why? Bible says so.

If you are already on step 4, then moving to step 5 should be easy. The first line in TheGospel of John equated God to the stoic concept of The Logos. The Logos is a being or force that keeps order in the world. If there is a natural law, then The Logos (God) is is the natural law maker and enforcer. Humans live harmoniously when they behave in a way that aligns with the will of God (The Logos), but when they disobey the will of God, they fall into depravity and destroy themselves. The scriptures do no lie when they say that the wages of sin is death. This pattern, I think, is clear evidence of a system, a natural and immutable law and if there is a natural immutable law, then there is a natural and immutable law maker and such a being would be all powerful, all knowing, and supremely benevolent which matches perfectly the description of The Christian God.

You should with sincerity say this prayer: "Lord, I believe; help me with my unbelief!"

Bible says you will bring about your own destruction.
You say the 2 Peter 3:16 is wrong, but sola scripta.

The mere fact that you want to move to step 5 means that you are already there. You've likely already found all the logical paths and evidence you've been looking for and at this point are rather seeing if anyone will give you one last excuse or stumbling block in your journey.
God is real, my friend.
Oh, and avoid the Catholic church at all costs, they do not follow true Christian doctrine as evidenced by the fact that they literally have their own separate Bible other than the Holy Bible.
God so loved His creation, this world corrupted by sin, that He gave His only begotten Son as a perfect sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. Contrary to what the Catholics think, there is nothing we can do by our own power to be righteous, we must simply throw ourselves upon the mercy of our Father and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus.

Isn't already the correctness of christian doctrine a proof that God is real? I don't think that something so perfect and objectively good can be make by wicked humans. The doctrine go against all the human evil and bring us closer to God.
