I agree it doesn’t change the reality, but since we don’t know whether the bible is true in all things or not (that is where the faith part comes in), it’s moot.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up because I was beginning to think you thought God gives people different "realities," which translate to truth.

I have to have faith to believe the whole bible is true, but I do so based on some pretty strong evidence. If you are intellectually honest, you would have to conclude God's word is established as authentic in the biblical account.

Do you know about Genesis 5?

When speaking of God and spiritual matters, I do believe God gives different truths to us individually. You may call them realities if you wish, or translate them to whatever you want. Why do you believe spiritual truths or realities cannot differ for each person?

No I don’t have to conclude that. There are at least a couple things that are questionable in the bible which cannot be authenticated, but rely solely on leaps of faith. Some people are capable of these leaps and some are not...some people have this spritual reality/truth, some have that spiritual reality/truth.
