Bart Ehrman destroys Christianity in under 12 minutes.

RE: Bart Ehrman destroys Christianity in under 12 minutes.
In George Athas' study of the Tel Dan inscription he makes the point that what the jesus freaks insist is "house of david" is actually an aramaic place name.  (The stele is written in Aramaic.)

Given the apparent size of the population, Athas makes the case that the site was little more than a palace for the local Egyptian governor which would not be inconsistent with other palace settings in the region.  When the Egyptians withdrew whoever became the strong man took it over.

Think of it in medieval terms as a castle meant to serve as a strong hold for a given area.

Do you have something to say, or do you prefer making childish allusions?

I must say, as a Christian, you're not only doing a poor job of adhering to 1 Peter 3:15, your mockery is also quite revealing. 

Shouldn't you be practicing your own shtick? Again, your welcome is exactly what I expect from fake ass posers like you.

If your god is the real deal, and your bible is true, then your lukewarm ass is doomed son.

I'm sorry, did you honestly think my response by using a house emoji as a response to blasphemous disrespectful comment towards God and or this religion was not gentle?

My poor thin skinned lost brother, maybe you should spend a few years on this side of all those well crafted atheist digs, if you want a true sampling of harsh disrespectful comments. Not to mention you seem to be over looking what verse 16 is in reference to... If you actually looked no one asked me about the joy i had in me, rather i was pointing out the painfully obvious that obliterated any sense of legitimacy you comment had by simply stating the obvious...

In short...
Me simple showing levity towards a foolish and short sighted comment, shows far greater 'respect or/and gentleness' than the comment you left intended with your dig...
 
Dodgy
So good luck trying to sell your take on 1 pet 3:16 to the next christian that hurts your feelings..

LOL, blasphemy, the word religious people use when they realize that their own personal offense is meaningless. I'm curious, though, what do you do to blasphemers when you aren't being "gentle"?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Blasphemy - because god is apparently a college kid who needs a safe place from words he doesn't like.

Again any meal he ate during Passover week would be considered a Passover meal.

You didn't answer my question.  Where in John does it say that Jesus ate the Passover meal?

Strawman.

I was responding to you in my post, not to your years of butthurt here in a place where you are adrift amid logic which you cannot understand. 

1 Peter 3:16 talks about your "good behavior" - where was that (good behavior) in your three responses to me?

Let's get one thing clear dipshit... I'm onto your fake ass christian bullshit, and I'll not respond further to your circular wanderings.

Frankly, I'm surprised the mods have let a poe like you last so long on such a good site.
