wow Ehrman completely destroyed Craig. Impressive

[GrizzleBitBabyHead]

With Ehrman's logic I guess we can't really know who won World War 2 or if Hitler committed suicide or maybe he died an old man at his summer home in Greece. Maybe Tupac is alive after all. Dr. Ehrman has given me hope.

@tenbear5 Wow, Ehman completely destroyed Craig. Impressive.

[tenbear5]

Wow. Craig destroys yet another atheist. Impressive.

ehrman forgots to mention the importance of the Spoken Word in Biblical Times, and that it was more trusted than the written word. And that it's unlikely that they would change the stories that much. I know this because I read it his book for a new testament course.

@666Infantryman Sorry, just trying to clarify what you wrote:

Do you think that there is enough evidence to support the contention that Jesus rose from the dead?

Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

@MrSB1274 Try watching "The Historical Jesus" and then come back and say that differences between the gospels are merely authors including or not including certain details. No matter how "personal" those details are, they're never going to be able to make noon into 9.

[FryderykFChopin]

Ehrman's point still stands. 'You come up with major differences. Just take the death of Jesus. What day did Jesus die on and what time of day? Did he die on the day before the Passover meal was eaten, as John explicitly says, or did he die after it was eaten, as Mark explicitly says? Did he die at noon, as in John, or at 9 a.m., as in Mark? Did Jesus carry his cross the entire way himself or did Simon of Cyrene carry his cross? It depends which Gospel you read.'

@woody198900 Hm, I sense a logical fallacy, here...

Let's try this: "Most biologists agree that evolution is true, but that's only because I imagine they'd be evolutionists anyways, since they're studying biology. So, they' OBVIOUSLY biased.

Yeah, makes perfect sense.
