He's good - and the video was posted by a muslim crackpot. As long as they attack each other, I guess that is fine for me…

Ah. I see, Rev. You are putting the emphasis on "crackpot."

That works, too. Perhaps it even works better!

What's funny is there are those who think we need a Dr. to tell us that.

If I say it, it don't mean shit.
But if Dr. Whoever says it, suddenly it deserves reconition.


Not just this topic. Any topic.
People piss me off.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Being a world-renowned scholar of ancient languages does give him some street cred, man.

Yes, the argument from authority doesn't really apply here. I don't think anyone is saying that "just because Bart Ehrman said it means it's true", but rather "Bart Ehrman has studied this all his life; he knows what he is talking about more than the average person".

@Dotard, if you'd done research, written a few books based on that research, and received awards by noted scholarly institutions, you might get some well deserved recognition too Tongue

For those of you with ``Misquoting Jesus/Who's word is it?'' on your bookshelf (and have read it) you may be interested in a thinking evangelical's analysis of his life's work:

For a more accessible exchange, there's a recording of a debate between Bart and Pete Williams available:

http://www.bethinking.org/bible-jesus/ad...lliams.htm

Like all scholars tend to do, they come to a different conclusion.
