Evidence: The Gathering

Why are we wasting time with this idiot? He is obviously operating under the influence of a blow to the head with a heavy blunt object.

Because to us - it's just a discussion, with almost nothing at stake. Randy on the other hand is desperately fighting for his salvation and the eternal life he's been conned into believing in - and failing at it. It's morbidly fascinating - like watching a venomous spider trying to climb out of the bath-tub.

Lundmann is indeed and atheist.  Like Ehrman, he became one through historical study of the New Testament.   It's a common story.   Baptists and other evangelicals warn seminarians not to go on to get higher degrees in theology for fear the will lose faith.   I find that rather telling.

Then why do all those Baptist theological seminaries offer PhD programs?

Jenny, that wasn't your finest moment...

And yet it's a true statement.  Seminaries do indeed warn students from further study.  Why?
