That’s a terrible counter argument. “Oh maybe he meant something different, you might not know the context surrounding how he plainly said it in 8 different ways you just quoted”
Is this what Christian academia is like? How pathetic.
It's certainly an argument I've heard a lot when talking about inconsistencies in the Bible. Usually it's blamed on translation, missing context, or exaggerated retellings. It was written by many different people who weren't necessarily talking to each other after all. I have a hard time taking any of it seriously.
But not this bit of the bible. There can't be any translation errors, missing context or exaggeration on this bit specifically because we like this bit.

In some cases context is definitely relevant, but for religion one’s it’s often:
