In the second part of Dale’s conversation with Matt Whiteley, the discussion becomes more robust as they compare and contrast their slightly opposing views on what it really means to be Christian. Together they explore the teachings of Christ, the influence of Paul on modern Christianity, and why so much emphasis appears to have shifted away from the direct words of Jesus himself.
The conversation also examines the meaning of the “Narrow Gate” and the “Narrow Path” spoken of by Christ—the path that few supposedly find—and asks some difficult but important questions about faith, doctrine, and interpretation. Ultimately, Dale and Matt wrestle with a confronting idea: have the majority of Christians fundamentally misunderstood the message?
