Who Changed the Bible, and Why?

[@doneestoner9945]

I'm in love with Bart Ehrman. FYI - I'm an old lady.

46:00 I listened to Jesus, interpreted on a whim. Had no idea I would be this interested in the topic of ancient biblical text. Fascinating stuff.

One note about Erasmus van Rotterdam, actually quite a mistake: Bart D. Ehrman states that Erasmus was a protestant but that’s really wrong. You can say that Erasmus paved in a way the road for the protestant movement but he’s more remembered as the prince of humanists and his famous work de Lof der Zotheid/In Praise of Folly. And although later in his life banned for his writings and opinions by the (catholic) church Erasmus repeatedly pleaded for tolerance between the various views in christendom-including the now upcoming protestant movement. He initially preferred to remain aloof in disputes between the Reformers and the Church. After much insistence, however, Erasmus took up the pen against Luther in 1524. According to Johan Huizinga*, the tragedy of Erasmus' life lay in this, that he saw the new and coming (the Reformation) better than others and had to get into trouble with the old church, but still could not accept the new. (*historian and writer of the famous book the Waning of the Middle Ages or Autumntide of the Middle Ages-1919). That said: I appreciate this series by Bart D. Ehrman a lot!

MJ & Bart, Is the universe, planet earth, and human self-awareness: miraculous or mundane, pointless or purposeful, about something or nothing, random or intentional? your thoughts please.

Deut 32 was definitely changed. I assume for the British Mandate of moving Jordanians out and the Jewish people in.

Bart is wrong here, Erasmus was a catholic priest (tho was friends with protestants)

Islam tells this about corruption of gospel since 1400s years ago. The gospel (injil) was revealed to isa(Yashua or jesus) in aramaic not greek😊

I often think some novel (to me) bit of exegesis in this podast is "cool": suprising, convincing, unexpected! But then Megan says it is "interesting".... So I think she has questions. Every "interesting" needs to go into the future podcast backlog. Cool stands, interesting begs more.

Decent presentation. Pretty low hanging fruit. Wish there were more examples or references. Thanks for your time.

The Gospel of Jesus was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.

Moses rewrote God's words. The original writings on the tablets were destroyed by Moses. Then Moses goes back for another 40 days and hand carved the ten commandments. Two tablets are key, Jesus says God's first commandants. First, love God with all your heart, body and soul. Second, love one another as you love me. Tell me why the bible and churches don't recognize God's first commandants? You only recognize the ten commandments? The ten commandments written by Moses.

Apparently first, five months later...
