Are you saying he posted scripture that didn't exist? Who is this? I actually don't believe that. Many people are surprisingly good with their scripture and would immediately spot someone quoting non-existent scripture.

Unless maybe he was quoting some non-canon like Mormon books. Very common for "Christian" influencers to be LDS.

They said classical education, so that would be Roman and Greek books.

i can believe this. many "experts" are consistent bullshitters, and it helps them to look more like experts.

this is not always intentional either, and there is a lot of social pressure to do it.

have you ever read a popular article about something you have expert knowledge in? the general standard for accuracy and quality in public discourse is mindblowingly low.
