Investigating the Effect of Observing the Addresse's Level of Understanding by God and the Saints in Verisimilitude of Religious Texts

Message:
Abstract:
Inferring a correct worldview and ideology from religious texts is dependent on verisimilitude of those texts. It may be that some, out of necessity and observing the level of understanding of the addressee and the necessity of God’s wisdom, see it necessary for the wise speaker to convey the wrong message and hide the reality, and due to the puzzle-like nature of the reality and the obviousness of various inferences from religious texts, they may regard these texts as not depicting the reality. This paper analyzes this issue through the use of a rational-analytic method for proving the verisimilitude of religious texts. The results of this research show that conveying a message contrary to reality by God is impossible and while hiding the reality when it does not have to do with guidance is possible, the puzzle-like nature of reality with respect to the longitudinal levels of the reality does not play a role here. Ultimately, by reminder of the rules of understanding religious texts and reference to the nine practical methods for observing the level of understanding of the addressee by the saints, it becomes clear that the differing levels of understanding of addressees does not hinder the verisimilitude of religious texts.
