The Truth is very important. Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on historical events. For example if there were no Augustus Caesar and no Pontius Pilate and no Paul..
. but there were.
II PETER 1 .KJV . look up
16 We have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Fables are what false religions rely on. They have no basis in history. When their founders died, nothing happened. When Jesus dies the world is changed forever. God Himself confirms the Gospel narrative just as He identifies Jesus to be His Son. Without a knowledge of The Truth people will believe anything. We can visit heathen nations to see how much worse off they are as a result and read their fables too, which are pretty way-off if you ask me.
There is a reason why some nations are prosperous and free while others spend most of their time murdering one another. Call it a spectrum disorder. What varies across the spectrum of nations as their depravity increases?
JOHN 8 .KJV . look up
32 [Jesus speaking] Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
