Misquoting Jesus: Bart Ehrman vs Peter Williams

Bart Ehrman is the US author of the bestselling book "Misquoting Jesus" (In the UK "Whose word is it?"). He calls into question the authority of the New Testament as scribal changes over time have changed the documents.

So can we trust the scripture? Bible scholar Peter Williams believes in the reliability of the New Testament and that Bart's prognosis is far too pessimistic.

Great! Do you have the one with James White? :)

[rfvidz]

@SupremeHero777 No. I doubt I can post that up. White's ministry is pretty strict about their property rights.

That Bart Ehrman guy just talks out his ass the whole time. Everything is a massive conspiracy theory that has no chance in hell of being proven.

@FactualVSFictional Are you serious? You clearly do not understand what Jesus is saying! If you read the Bible you'll understand there are unseen spiritual forces. Jesus knew that Satan was giving Peter the ideas he spoke out verbally, not realizing he was yielding to Satanic ideas instead of God's. Jesus simply rebuked Satan via Peter! Jesus wasn't saying that Peter WAS Satan! If you read the rest of the Gospels you will clearly see Jesus' positive attitude towards Peter!

@rfvidz Is Peter Williams strict in misquoting Jesus? coz If he knows that Jesus calls Peter as Satan in Matthew 16:23 "But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." Therefore, Peter is Satan in the Bible and he is misquoting Jesus by using his name 'Peter' as if 'Peter' is NOT called 'Satan' by Jesus. Does Peter Williams care in misquoting Jesus in Matthew 16:23?

The word being used is CHANGES or DISSIMILARITIES , however, if we replace it with actual word CONTRADICTIONS .. Now understanding that by choosing a religion choose a way of life and by choosing a way of life choose Heave or Hell??, it becomes suddenly very serious matter.. doing opposite things or believing opposite things cannot bring the same results?? . we have to develop a greater concern, as it is the matter of an eternal life and its not a fun play, we have to face it one day, in real.

It's very obvious that Dr. Ehrman was being diplomatic and did not want to be viewed as attacking christianity even though he holds the view that all of the books in the NT were written by unknown hands & Jesus was just a man.

[Highabove01]

Peter Williams is a weak, speaking as a theological preacher more than anything else. Those 4 examples of variation mentioned are HIGHLY significant. They change the personality of who Jesus was as well as his mission. If the story of the adulterous woman was a lie, then Jesus did not violate the old law against adultery. Also, if Jesus died without the presence of God, then he did not come willingly to die for christians' sins. This means Paul was wrong, rendering Christianity to be false.
