Being true Quote by Bart D. Ehrman

“In Matthew, Jesus declares, “Whoever is not with me is…” quote by Bart D. Ehrman — Download Open image

“In Matthew, Jesus declares, “Whoever is not with me is against me.” In Mark, he says,“Whoever is not against us is for us.” Did he say both things? Could he mean both things? How can both be true at once? Or is it possible that one of the Gospel writers got things switched around?”
