On my list of things to look at Wednesday.

Same old playbook. Every year the leftist dinosaur media trot out the same old bunk about “problems” with the Bible, Christ, etc. Remember the Passover Plot?” It never ends.

Matthew 10:22: You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

[huldah1776]

The LORD God declares : in Isaiah 43:10 [NASV]

“...understand that I am He.”

(I read chapters 41-43 to grasp the context. The sentence before is crucial to understanding.)

Vs 10 in whole
“You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,
And My servant whom I have chosen,
In order that you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.”

Ehrman is neither a scholar, nor is he prominent. He is merely a run of a the mill critique, with only laughable default assertions that cannot be backed up.

Did Jesus claim to be God? You betcha. John 8:58, among other passages.

Lots of resources to answer Ehrman and his unoriginal thinking here:

Somewhat topical to this thread, I'm curious which translation of the Holy Bible is preferred when quoting Scripture here on Free Republic?

I've seen that the boss uses the KJV (as do I). Are other translations such as the the American Standard Version and Revised Standard Version okay? My partiality for the KJV comes from its wondrous language and I've personally never much cared for "modernism" when it comes to Christianity.

Trust in your own goodness, Bart. See how well that works for you at the judgement.

Stephen Colbert is a serious Catholic?

......

Maybe you Catholics can get Madonna to do some outreach for your church. I think she’s a serious Catholic too. Probably as serious as Colbert anyway.

Bart Ehrman, Chairman of the Dept. of Religious Studies at the University of No. Carolina????

Now there's a reason our children, raised in church, strong in their own faith, come home scoffing at the faith of their parents, who've sacrificed mightily to pay for "quality educations" for their offspring!

Ehrman is not an idiot; he’s a complete cynic who is trying to cash in on a convenient cultural rejection of Christianity. The flaws in his “scholarship” and reasoning have been pointed out to him so many times that he is certainly aware of them.

[JusPasenThru]

Christians and conservatives have a marvelous ability to destroy themselves and allowing libs and atheists to run the place. It’s quite sickening sometimes.

Great video.

I’ll bet he is an awesome Sunday school teacher.
