The problems with the Bible-that New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discussed in his New York Times bestseller Misquoting Jesus-are expanded exponentially in his new book JESUS, INTERRUPTED. Here we find not only that Christian scribes altered the texts of their sacred Scripture, but also that the books of Scripture themselves, in their original forms, are often completely at odds with one another on such key issues as:

• Who Jesus was and how salvation works
• Why the New Testament contains books that were forged in the names of the apostles by Christians living decades later
• Did Paul, Matthew, John, and Jesus represent different religions?
• How standard Christian doctrines were the inventions of still later theologians

These are not idiosyncratic perspectives of just one modern scholar: as Ehrman skillfully demonstrates, they have been the standard and widespread views of critical scholars for over a century. Why is it that most people have never heard such things? As Ehrman argues, it is because scholars have failed to communicate their findings with the general public, and because pastors who learn this information when studying for the ministry have chosen not to share it with the people in the pews.

  • Jesus said don't worship any image. So that face we all know as Jesus don't think its him.

  • @Strefanasha "Many are called FEW are chosen" "Straight is the Gate , narrow is the Way..........FEW be there that find It" "Not all who call Me Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom"

  • this is dishonest, taking all complementary aspects and making them contradictions. in order to reject the gospel.

    help from this man?

    a waste of effort

  • @rugbyguy59 Well maybe Irish courts are too different from American court system

  • @irishxxkelt Then I would expect you to know better.

  • @rugbyguy59 I am a part time police woman so I have a LEETLE idea about court.

  • @irishxxkelt Yes, eye witnesses are used in courts. But judges and lawyers (prosecution and defence), plus people who study the subject, know they are not very reliable. They forget details, invent details based upon existing points of view, all sorts of stuff really. However juries tend to believe them so they get used a lot.

    I am quoting the two books on the crucifixion as Ehrman quotes them in the video. The two versions are very different.

  • And I wouldn't go to a butcher to get advice about my car. Therefore I wouldn't go to an Agnostic to have any Biblical difficulty explained.

  • @twointhebush2000 Jesus saves us from being cut off for all eternity from God.

  • @rugbyguy59 Funny if they are so unreliable they are used in courts of law for serious cases,even murder. I do not know what you are quoting from. Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 when people thought that he felt forsaken. What do you mean Jesus made His peace with God on the cross?
