The Question of the Greek New Testament

[The Grand Nudger]

Here ya go..since the opinions of experts are clearly enough to make an argument..in your opinion.  From the Huffington Post

These views are so extreme and so unconvincing to 99.99 percent of the real experts that anyone holding them is as likely to get a teaching job in an established department of religion as a six-day creationist is likely to land on in a bona fide department of biology.

Ehrman makes these remarks in reference to the mythicist position on jesus, but they apply equally well to any discussion of Paul (an equally mythicized/legendary figure -even if he were a real person).   Now, it's possible that Mr. Ehrman didn;t realize the irony contained herein...but..perhaps, representation of any given position within the ranks of "the experts" has something to do with needing a paycheck........

Now, obviously, little to do with the immediate discussion of the thread (only a glancing bit of relevancy)...but I figured I;d mention it..since you seem to think that mere mention of his name will make me snap to fucking attention and salute..as though he were the patron saint of biblical opinions to me and mine. I'm no more impressed with Ehrmans opinions than anyone elses...and though I am impressed with the evidence he presents...he doesn't seem to be as impressed with it as I am, since he loses his shit at some point..and after describing all of the problems with the narrative...concludes that there must've been a "jesus". I think you're far too used to appealing to credibility and personal witness/testimony...arguably due to your past - than you should be..if you hope to engage in a discussion with a person for whom that has absolutely zero value...such as myself. If my very own mother insisted that she took a shit of a specific hue of brown..and demanded that I must accept the accuracy of her claim -what with being an "expert" on her own bowel movements-...I'd ask to see the turd.
