The Evolution of Jesus in Early Christianity

A lecture with Dr Ehrman

From Messiah to God

the video speaks for itself...

skip to 1:25 though

IF you happen to have 35 mins to watch

IF you're not interested in the topic/video.... Why post a reply?

The Alpha and Omega did not send someone down to a Marble that for all intensive purposes is a spec of dust on the cosmic scale to die for our presumed sins.

I believe there is a God. However, I doubt said creator much cares about what you do on the daily. If it was all part of his "Plan", then it REALLY does not matter, does it.

So what, another opinion from another person
Why should we care

a reply to: SR1TX

IF you have a half an hour...

Just watch the video posted

You silly fundy

It's a question, I know it can be baffling but
Really, so what, another opinion of someone about something pretty obvious
It's nothing new as opinions go

You need to call me a fundie, I just asked so what, did I tread on your toes

So what, Erhman has just told us something that's been around for a couple of thousand years, nothing new in that video

So again, so what, what's your point

a reply to: Raggedyman

So again, so what, what's your point

You didn't watch the video

or read the topic apparently

Giver a try yeah?

Time Stamps FTW

a reply to: Akragon

Apparently, irrespective
Why should I care, why do I want to listen to someone waffle on about what I assume is Marcionism

Or someone confused by the mystery of Trinity

a reply to: Raggedyman

Good questions to ask yourself...

Though first you should figure out why you would reply to this thread at all........

a reply to: Akragon

Cos I might be interested or I might not so thought I would ask
It's funny you know ak, I can watch and listen on you tube a video 3x it's normal speed, pretty clever youtube
Do you think Ehrmans a gnostic as well....

a reply to: Raggedyman

Cos I might be interested or I might not so thought I would ask

so maybe

watch the video

a reply to: Akragon

I am guessing you are a Marcionist or a Modalist
I just don't get why anyone would care about the vid

a reply to: Akragon

Erhman is just amazing..

He has changed my view o. Countless things..


His spiel on adoptions is just facinating!!!


The way how he explains that in Roman culture adopted kids were more important than biological children. But after that shifted Christians created the Virgin birth narrative..



I have literally watched everything I can find on erhman..

a reply to: Raggedyman

Because he is the best educated New Testament scholar who gives speeches and debates. Maybe? Lol..

I know, I know most Christians would rather people ignore history and what we can learn from the manuscripts that survive, but a lot of us would like to know the real truth behind it all.

a reply to: Raggedyman

Because if you want the truth about first century Christianity. You go to erhman..


If you want to feel all warm and fuzzy you go to a fundamentalist.. lol.

a reply to: Raggedyman

BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST CRITICAL SCHOLAR ON THE PLANET, WHO NOT EVEN THE FUNDAMENTALIST ARGUE ISNT TELLING THE TRUTH. lmao


Why would anyone care what the modern “Ive been translated, edited and propagandized for 2000 years version of Christianity?!?!


Lmao?!?!

a reply to: Akragon

If you want good replies, you ought to post a good summary of the video. All the effort you put into it was "The video speaks for itself." Literally no summary, not even a listing, of the topics or points covered in the video. So I don't think you have any reason to take issue with any of the replies so far.

a reply to: Akragon


He hates erhman because he is a fundamentalist and erhman AND HISTORY poop all over the desired narrative of the fundamentalists..


He would rather have discussions where the Bible is infallible and everyone should be converting to modern , constantly changing fundamentalist evangelical Christianity.

Good call..

But Erhman is super prolific and anyone familiar with his work can take off having discussions from there lol.. but for those unfamiliar with Ehrman. I agree it’s way too little info to start talking lol.

a reply to: Raggedyman

Because your average Christian has no idea about erhman’s work..


If they did Christianity has a mass exodus over night..
