The Historical Jesus: Man vs. Myth (Dr. Ehrman) I

http://www.bartdehrman.com/

Ehrman's most important work-to-date reveals, among its many findings: * Only 8 of the 27 books of the New Testament were actually written by the authors to whom they're attributed. Others are likely forgeries. * The gospels provide remarkably divergent portrayals of Jesus. * The message of the Apostle Paul and the message of gospel writer Matthew are completely at odds over the question of whether a follower of Jesus also had to observe the Jewish law. * The Nicene Creed and the Trinity were constructs of the later church and are not found in the pages of the Bible. * Traditional doctrines such as the suffering Messiah, the divinity of Christ, and the notion of heaven and hell are not based on the teachings of the historical Jesus. * The commonly told story of Jesus -- his birth, death, and resurrection is actually a composite of four vastly different gospel narratives.

Your Doctor Title does nothing to Impress me. However your Hate and Ignorance are Intensely Profound.

I like Bart's books and lectures but i wish he didn't go in to lawyer mode when he's talking. It sounds like he's trying to convince a jury.

@osiris7nz So you don't believe in the power of God for Jesus to be raised from the dead. Then are you a muslim? But the muslim god is anything but loving. But if you were muslim you wouldn't believe that god had any children.... So you must be part of one of the minor relgions of the world?

@auditorization I am no atheist I believe in a God that you wouldnt understand, one with unending love...not a jealous father projection that would send his chiödren to hell your dogmatic position is the arrogant one.

@osiris7nz from your arrogant, 'i know everything' beligerent attitude, .... are you atheist?

[osiris7nz]

@auditorization the resurrection is a fairy tale for intellectually crippled children . if you think Jesus was raised from the dead then you have no idea of God whatsoever ..

@osiris7nz did sai baba raise from the dead?

I didn't think so. Thanks for playing bye bye.

[osiris7nz]

@auditorization btw sai baba is accredited of as many (if not more) miracles as jesus. google him and see. Is Sai baba god too?

@auditorization this five stars thing is just wishful thinking. Like the NT authors, trying to make prophecy come true in whatever way necessary. I mean what do you think of Jesus born in a manger in Luke but Joseph has a house in Bethlehem in Matthew? Two conflicting stories made up after the event to fulfill prophecy

@osiris7nz It is not a 'spin' it is the truth, Just as the five stars in the hand of Betula as prophesied in the Old Testament. The story is written in the stars- I know i'm sounding crazy now, but it's true. Betula - the virgin, - look to the hebrew prophesy The BRANCH and the FIVE stars in the hand of the virgin constelation, it's all foretold in the Old testament, Michael Rood has done ALOT of research on the subject and can teach you alot, he's on youtube. aroodawakening -
