“But of course it isn’t, because until recently only scholars and the educated could read. Guess that damns all the centuries of illiterates to Hell, huh?”

Once again, that’s dumb. You think those illiterates didn’t have Godly pastors reading and preaching scripture to them every week? If you read a chapter a week it takes about 3 1/2 years to get through the whole Bible. And the earliest Christians without NT scripture had the Apostles themselves teaching. Which was scripture in itself.
