In connection with the "truth-telling-thing" claim: it's worth taking a look at Scott Alexander's (= Yvain's) thoughts on that.

It seems to me that "matters of doctrine" are not monolithic, and that many thoughtful Christians would probably (1) regard some of them as grounds for belief and also (2) regard others as mysteries that they accept only because the Church, or the Bible, tells them they should.
