We have all learned to live with incorrect beliefs.
Why, I have no idea, perhaps it is because these days in the internet age we are so overwhelmed with information that we lose the ability to purse the true from the false, perhaps we never learned how to think critically in the first place, who knows, the whys are multitudinous but the fact is that we all do live with ideas that are false.
A significant one within the Christian(and wider) community is that God sees and treats all of humanity as His children..."we are all God's children" the refrain goes. Its a nice, mushy, feel good, candy floss doctrine that is both observably and biblically untrue.
Observably so because if you study the generational affects on family genealogy's of those who walk with the Lord as opposed to those who live for themselves there many long form studies to prove the generational benefits from walking with God.
Doctrinally there is the verse in John 1:12 which says, "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" [ESV. Emphasis mine]. The implication within this statement is that we once were not and then we were!
Sometimes a seemingly small deviation can lead to an eternity of regrets.
