The historical Jesus--dead wrong, literally.
#10
RE: The historical Jesus--dead wrong, literally.
Well....as Bart Ehrman has pointed out this shit has been edited/altered either intentionally/accidentally or both and we do not possess original documents so all we can do is debate what the copies say and hope that the various generations of scribes who copied this stuff were honest or competent.

I know there are plenty of people over at Freethought and Rationalism who get themselves all worked up over a given word but if you have no confidence in the source what's the point?
