This is why, in my view, it is imperative, it is essential that Christians not jettison so many of the original creeds, statements of faith and polemics of the early church fathers, etc. . . .
It's easy to see now where Nee . . .

All great points.
But as I said to Ohio, the question was whether other religions (Buddhist, Hindu, etc.) are as honest about their "heroes" and saints as is the Bible.
The Bible, is curiously premised upon a perfect God who more than tolerates the foibles of the miserable beings that he seeks to shepherd toward his goals. And these imperfect men and women are constantly referred to as things like "a man after God's own heart."
While no specific conclusion was provided, the obvious notion is that this is a grand differentiator between Christianity and virtually every other religion.
