Not people's failures, and the full counsel of Scripture

Mike's core objection to the Gungor story: nearly every complaint raised is a failure of people -- man-made boundary systems, a liar on the phone about a healing -- not of God. The hosts mock the sensational 'I was an atheist for a day' framing ('I was homeless for a day. I was an orphan for a day'). Ben argues the way of Jesus is documented and defined -- moving beyond the biblical record while still calling it Jesus is dishonest -- and warns that cherry-picking Scripture wrecks people on both sides: liberal Christianity ignores what it dislikes, fundamentalists overcrank what they're not guilty of, and each extreme breeds the other. Don't take bits of the full counsel of a wise and loving God out of context.
