This is a silly example, in a way, but we just discussed in Sunday School the story of Jesus healing the man who had been born blind.
In that story, the Pharisees call the man's parents in to confirm that he had, in fact, been born blind. After they do so, the Pharisees ask them what they believe about the healing - and they respond, essentially:
He is an adult, and we weren't there. Ask him.
The next verse is the fascinating one to me. It says the parents said that out of fear of the Jews, because they didn't want to get kicked out of the synagogue.
WE DON"T KNOW THAT. What they said was 100% factually accurate and appropriate.
It was written by people long after the fact, and it provides a good jab at the Pharisees. It is a little example of writing history from the vantage point of hindsight - and I view the stories of many, if not most or all, of the major prophecies of the future, in the same way. They served a purpose, but I have no confidence that they are literally accurate.
I see through my glass, darkly - as I play my saxophone in harmony with the other instruments in God's orchestra. (h/t Elder Joseph Wirthlin)
Even if people view many things differently, the core Gospel principles (LOVE; belief in the unseen but hoped; self-reflective change; symbolic cleansing; striving to recognize the will of the divine; never giving up) are universal.
