But YOU personally need to recognize that although I am willing to have one hand tied behind my back for the purposes of this thread (and no one has laid a glove on me yet despite that), professional scholars do not. And they know, as Ehrman pointed out, that the NT is of significant historical value. therefore, YOU cannot ignore it in the privacy of your own room when you're alone with God.

You made the rules Randy, and whether YOU recognize it or not, you've proven nothing and got beat up here.  Those five "facts" do not prove anything.  Sorry, but it's true. 

  1. I did make the rules.
  2. I have shown them clearly to people who might not have known of them otherwise. Check the "views" on this thread, Jenny. Not bad.
  3. I have been "beat up" in one sense, but the facts themselves are untouched. No one has even TRIED to make an argument against them. Except for some wimpy complaint about Pliny as I recall.
  4. The facts do not "prove" anything. They give us reason to consider that the resurrection is plausible.
  5. Sorry, but that is true.

Now, I will read the rest of your post, but I won't respond tonight for sure.

Goodnight, Jenny. Goodnight, Jason. Goodnight, MaryEllen. Goodnight, John Boy....

(you may be too young for that)
