No, it specially states most people won’t.Most people DON'T. Surely the aim was to convince AL people. Most people reject this god.

How should I interpret that quote? It's all debatable, isn't it? I can claim it means the road to Wythenshawe.No, it specially states most people won’t.

Matthew 7 is where it’s from and the whole context of Matthew 7 is talking about salvation. So it’s not really debated what he meant by that, no.How should I interpret that quote? It's all debatable, isn't it? I can claim it means the road to Wythenshawe.

Dillahunty couldn’t educate anyone.
I don’t mean to sound arrogant, as I never ended up getting qualified and am an amateur, but even I know more about the New Testament than him.

That IS arrogant...and I very much doubt it. You couldn't possibly know that. And as he trained to become a minister, I very much doubt it.Dillahunty couldn’t educate anyone.

Well it’s my honest opinion based on listening to him and I don’t think it’s that arrogant to say “even I”. He’s no scholar that’s for sure. Many Ministers have a shocking understanding of scripture too by the way so that doesn’t impress anyone.That IS arrogant...and I very much doubt it. You couldn't possibly know that.

As I’ve said, he’s the Alan Brazil of the religious debate world, he doesn’t have it in him to take someone to task over contradictions in the gospels as he never does that. He’s never gone up against someone who’s a scholar with a strong reputation, not that they would bother with someone of his pedigree anyway.

Secular writers I’d recommend Bart Ehrman or Elaine Pagels and Christian maybe Tom Wright to start off with.Who are the scholars with strong reputations?
