Do religious people understand the difference between absolute truth and that which evidence supports?

truth
Desiree asked:


Someone was asking yesterday about accepting historical facts as truth when the evidence is not entirely accurate. It seemed to me that this person didn’t understand that rational people don’t perceive this type of information in terms of absolute truth or outright falsehood which is how religious people seem to perceive this information. Rational people look at information like currently accepted historical facts as just that, currently accepted facts; nothing more, nothing less. Rational people say, “The evidence we have at present supports this understanding of historical events. We may discover evidence in the future that suggests something different, but for now, all the evidence we have supports this understanding.”

See, rational people are not saying that the currently accepted historical facts are absolute truth and they’re not saying they are outright falsehoods either. Do you think that’s one of the main problems religious people have with understanding intellectual pursuits; they look at it terms of absolute truth or outright falsehood? Do you think this erroneous reasoning is a side effect of the religious indoctrination and brainwashing they endured as children and it has warped their ability to effectively perceive reality?

Christians aint this the biblical truth?

biblical truth

Genuine Salvation

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

— Matthew 7:13–14

Many people today have essentially believed a watered-down gospel that deletes the message of repentance. They believe in an all-caring, nonjudgmental God who requires no repentance or a change in their lifestyle. They will say things like, “I believe in Jesus Christ, but my God is not judgmental. My God would never send a person to hell. But I am a Christian.”

Yet they cannot have it both ways. They can’t make it up as they go.

There are many people, even in the church, who hold to a watered-down belief. This diluted gospel may be the most dangerous plague the church is facing today, because it gives a sense of false assurance to the person who believes it.

The Bible speaks of false prophets who give false assurance. In Jeremiah 6:14, God says, “They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.”

It would be like going to the doctor when you are having a heart attack, and having the doctor tell you, “Oh, you are fine. You are being so dramatic! You will be OK.”

There are ministers today who say, “God loves you and everything is fine. You can do whatever you want and live however you want to live. Let’s just love one another and have a great time.”

But that is a false gospel. Yes, God loves us. Yes, God receives any person who comes to Him. But He asks us to repent. He asks us to turn from our sins. If we are not willing to do so, then we are not experiencing biblical faith. And thus, we are not going to receive what the Bible describes as genuine salvation.
