The problem here is you believe your interpretation to be the absolutely correct one, and have used your opinion as an objective standard.ah, no. Again we are working of the person in questions own assessment. In that this person said they were not worshiping the God of the Bible, but they still classified themselves as Christian. Which Jesus spoke to very directly. No interpretation needed. As Christ Himself addresses this very issue in that chapter.
Not every thing in the bible has to be interpreted. Some thing you simply read off of the page and apply. To know which one must look to the Greek, but it does not change the fact that this passage in mat 7 goes unchallenged in the rest of scripture and the Greek completely agrees with the English translation.
I know your trying to muddy the waters with the olde standby atheist argument that my interpretation of the bible bla bla bla... But it does not apply here. Try something else.]

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
