Bart Ehrman says most of the New Testament is a forgery but it's still an important body of work.

Ehrman, a best-selling author and a professor of religious studies...

The #1 requirement for all professors of religious studies is that they not be religious.

I will have to read more on this latest book, but it doesn’t sound like any new material compared to some of his other recent works.

His name might as well be Bart Simpson? Never heard of him.

Bible debunks Bart:

"The fool says in his heart 'there is no God'."

Some of his arguments are ridiculous.

"Jesus didn't physically appear, it was just a vision."

That's why he ate fish at one of their houses right?

"Paul says women should stay silent here, and over here he said they were church leaders."

Anyone who studied the Pauline Epistles would be able to explain it to him in a short time.

But, he doesn't believe the scriptures are true anyway, they are all "forgeries", so no argument would hold water with him.

He knocks down kids blocks in a sandbox to prove that the Church is not stable.

If anything, I believe Jesus will return simply to collect royalties owed by people trying to profit off His name.

He says he's not trying to destroy your faith.

CNN will probably give him his own primetime show.

Wow, thousands of years of biblical scholarship, and all of a sudden Burt Ehrman vaults ahead of all and debunks everything. What a genius.

He should get together with Rick Warren and Barack Hussein Obama. They all share the same belief in the Gospel.

Ha ha ha ha!

“Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
When looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers worn with beating years of time.
“How many anvils have you had, said I,
To wear and batter all these hammers so?
Just one, said he; then said with twinkling eye,
The anvil wears the hammers out you know.”
“And so, I thought, the anvil of God’s word
For ages skeptics’ blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed - the hammers gone!”

This guy is just another “retro-heretic”.

All of his ideas have been seen before and have been debunked.

I guess CNN, History Channel, and other liberal media groups got tired of trotting out the usual Jesus Society hacks whenever they feel like attacking Christianity. Erhman’s been around for a while now, and his approach likewise finds its roots in the so-called Higher Critism movement of a century ago. His methods, assumptions, and speculations have been likewise debunked as unscientific wishful thinking.

he began to develop doubts about the infallibility of the Bible after attending Princeton Theological Seminary to become a college Bible professor.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Corinthians 1:20
