“Ok everyone,” the professor started after taking attendance. “Today,” “Wait!” A student spoke up. “Can we go back to what we talking about last time? Like, about you reading - er sorry, continually studying the Bible?” “Sure,” the professor said, motioning for the student to continue. “I was taught being a Christian is easy. You know, accept Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead. That’s it. You’re talking about growing a relationship with Christ, like being a Christian is more than just a one time conversion.” “Have you ever compared that teaching to the Bible? Where does it say that?” The student looked confused. “I can’t say exactly, but I know the pastor gave Bible verses during the sermon.” The professor smiled and looked at the class. “This is why I insist that you give exact references and know the context of the verses. It is easy to cherry-pick certain verses and present them in a way that makes being a Christian easy.”
