Like what? "Something" is rather vague, can you pinpoint it some more?
The way you wrote that I get the distinct feeling you're experiencing cognitive dissonance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance ) at this time.
If you have a large investment (time, emotional, social, ...) in your scriptures then this is to be expected, it is up to you however to make up your mind what is most important to you
- the comfortable feeling of certainty scripture gives you
or
- Caring whether something is true or not, holding views that are in line with reality and conform to what the evidence presents
