The truth according to Bart D. Ehrman

[Angrboda]

Ehrman discusses this very point in Forged. That you have created a thread to dispute Ehrman's points, without having read them, and completely oblivious to the fact that the argument you're presenting has been dealt with by Ehrman, simply paints you as the bottom-feeding, ignorant, stupid, moronic, disingenuous Christian apologist that you are.

He isn't as special as you think he is. There are thousands of Biblical Scholars - he is one with ideas and theories well outside general scholarly thought, and he uses sensationalism to sell his books. Just because he reaches one conclusion doesn't mean it's the only conclusion to be met, it doesn't even mean that it's the correct conclusion, all it means is that he made the conclusion.

And not having read him, and apparently not intending to do so, you will never know whether his conclusions are or are not merited. Enjoy wallowing in your ignorance, Daniel.

Intellectual dishonesty is a failure to apply standards of rational evaluation that one is aware of, usually in a self-serving fashion.
