I do not need to down load an audible app for Ehrman I have the physical words to read and I have read them carefully. My opinion will not change about the man unless he changes. Why does it seem so important to you that I believe Ehrman tells the truth, what does it matter to your daily life? Let me say this I'm not stupid and I can reason quite well as per my teachers in school. I do not try to delude myself just for the sake of keeping a belief, I see what he says and know that he is wrong. Ask yourself this, who has anything to gain from what Ehrman calls the truth about the Bible, I say only those who do not want to believe that God is real and who He says He is needs what Ehrman sales. There is a difference between what Ehrman does ie. sales and what the Bible does ie. teaches.

Just listen to Lecture 10, on the "Sources and Problems" with respect to the historical Jesus. In particular, Professor Ehrman discusses the existence of hundreds of pagan sources from the 1st century (letters, poems, etc.), none of which even mention Jesus.
Would you really expect to here of Jesus in pagan writings, I wouldn't. You think that the Jewish priest of that time penned anything about Jesus, no and why, just like the pagans Jesus was a threat to their way of life.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
