Someone stole the body!

No, it is serious scholarly analysis of the documentary evidence of your bullshit as it evolved through time because of human error... or in a number of cases, deliberate editing to make it say what the powers-that-were wanted it to say.
You are way too far gone to ever understand how badly you have been conned, G-C. RE: Someone stole the body!

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You wouldn't understand anything that did not support your predetermined nonsense. That is your problem. Not Ehrman's. You may have understood it, but refused to 'believe' it, because you already know without question that the Bible is the Truth. You're then in a position of having to weigh up the validity of Ehrman's conclusions, versus your own pre-determined conclusions. One set of conclusions has been derived from an objective, dispassionate analysis of the data sources from a historicity point of view. Yours (I am surmising) are a result of religious dogma. Surely you can see that the likelihood of confirmation bias in this scenario is pretty damn high. Problem is, if you're in a larger group of people who are all deluded, you're not likely to find out any time soon.  RE: Someone stole the body!

Doesn't this entail that you worship a deity who at times inflicts pain on his creations for the sheer pleasure of watching them suffer, or permits suffering to occur with no moral justification whatsoever, but just because he is indifferent to it? I don't take you as stupid, I take you as someone who evidently doesn't believe that God is omnibenevolent. To say that he "can and does allow misery, pain, sickness, and other things" in order to "complete His will" isn't to defend the moral character of your deity. "His will" could as easy be malicious or indifferent to suffering as it could be benevolent. Do you believe that God's commands, whatever they are, are morally justified, just because it was God who issued them? If so, then I suppose you could claim to believe in a God who is omnibenevolent, although in that case his omnibenevolence is a trivially true entailment of divine command theory.
A Gemma is forever.

That's written in the modern Greek alphabet and it uses lower case letters which didn't exist before 800 AD. Both the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus are emblematic of the Alexandrian text-type which was the language of the early church writers before being replaced by the Byzantine text-type. This was sometime after the catholic church decided to switch to Latin instead of Greek.

The earliest complete copy of Mark is from around 350 AD. |
