If all you are going to do is quote previously done-to-death apologetic bullshit like carm.org, Drippy ( not that I expect you are capable of anything more) you may as well not waste your time.
The ability of xtians to twist their balls into pretzels trying to explain away the obvious problems in your bullshit texts ( problems which have been known for 300 years prior to Ehrman's writings, btw) is well-established.
As noted here:
Quote:Bible-believers are full of clever (and some not so clever) rationalizations. The crucial question, however, is not whether "answers" can be generated in response to Bible difficulties but whether credible answers can be produced. What is the best explanation? Bible-believers seem to think that any loophole, however improbable, that gets the Bible off the hook has solved the problem.
You sprinkle some bullshit around, go "whew, that was close" and toddle off praising fucking jesus as if you have convinced anyone.
You have not. The problems remain and are clear for anyone who is not blinded by heavenly horseshit.
