Have you ever been interviewed for an article or video news piece? Were you edited or quoted? I doubt that the President’s statements meant the same thing that you read.

Nevertheless, the President pointed more people to the Gospel than you or I will ever reach. Even Peter and John did not understand everything the day Christ rose from the dead - they didn’t believe the women who told them He’d risen, but they knew that Jesus was the Son of God.

By the way, people like Sam Harris love to point out the discrepancies like those narratives about Jesus in Matthew 28, Mark 16, John 20 and Luke 24. Was it a woman or women, who either did or did not touch him, did John and Peter run to the tomb before Mary Magdalene saw Jesus and/or was it just John or Peter and John who ran to the tomb and took up the cloths and then believed, etc.

Well, I guess if you believe that telling people that Scripture isn't true is reaching them, then I'd hate to see what your definition of turning people off of the Gospel is.

There are no discrepancies in Scripture; it is only the limited, finite mind of man that cannot understand the Word of God without the help of the Holy Spirit which ignorantly believes that God made mistakes, or there are errors, or the Bible contradicts itself. It is only arrogant, puny, man who thinks that he has everything figured out and who has the arrogance to suggest that God messed up when He wrote Scripture who would seriously suggest that the Bible isn't true.

For the final time, Scripture can only be understood by those who have a personal relationship with Christ and therefore have access to the Holy Spirit, and therefore have Scripture interpreted and revealed to them by the One Whose job it is to do that.

If you can't see that after I've repeated it numerous times on this thread, then there is really nothing more I can say.
