I don't think he intentionally misleads anyone, but he could simply be mistaken, right? :techie-studyingbrown:

Unfortunately I disagree with you. In my opinion,people should believe exactly what is written in the Bible and use it to direct them to live their lives in the best way possible

True, it is difficult to convince people, however, evidence you present to back your views. They like to stick to their opinions.

My books are about proof not belief.

Like Bart Ehrman says, no one knows who wrote much of it, and even what much of it really says. "What is written" is what the greater 'Church' says it is.
