Here are some of the human teachers/scholars who's views I consider heavily, not in any particular order. Notice they all tend to use an intellectual (vs emotional) approach.

CS Lewis
Norm Geisler
Walter Martin
Phillip Johnson
Josh McDowell

I also heavily consider the views of profs at conservative Evangelical Seminiaries, as well as the views of the translators of the KJV, NIV, NASB, and Amplified Bible. I guess I also take Mr Strong's word as to the exact definition of the Greek and Hebrew.

If I think I know something, but find one of these folks says it's different, it gives me pause and I look deeper.

I don't give much weight to the views of liberal Bible scholars, extemists, those who lack humility in the presentation of their views, or those with an obvious agenda.
