[@alangriffin8146]

I like that Bart is self-possessed and kind enough to tell people where to look in the Bible for messages on current issues. That just seems like a really wholesome thing for an atheist and former believer to be doing. I doubt he uses the Bible anymore for comfort or to win points in debates, but he doesn’t judge others for doing so; instead he helps them find what they’re looking for. What a swell example to set.

[@Truth.is.winning]

The bible has a lot of useful information, the problem is that we were sold on the idea that it was the inerrant word of God much like the Catholics were sold on the idea of the infallibility of the Pope. This added another layer of authority & control but it's two sides of the same coin, it's government control, whether it comes from the Pope or from the King, they are in agreement with each other, the appearance of separation is just to keep us divided and fighting with each other so we will be too distracted to notice who the real enemy is. In the Tower of Babble story for example, it says that God saw that when UNITED there was nothing that people could not accomplish, so God allegedly said, I will confuse their language so that they do not understand each other, BINGO, mission accomplished! To this day, the rulers are still dividing us so that we can be more easily conquered.

[@freddiereadie30]

@Truth.is.winning If people were UNITED in worshipping God or doing good to others, then it puts a positive spin on the story. So being UNITED is not necessarily a bad thing. It depends on what people's intentions are, which is subjective. In the gospels, Jesus said that you should sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor so you can earn riches in heaven. You never see any pastor or priest doing that. Certainly not the rich people. In fact, the Pope himself is more affluent than many believers. So the bottomline is, lessons in the Bible can be interpreted in many ways. There is no feedback mechanism from God as to whether your interpretations are correct.

Regarding baptism by fire, the account of Enoch's ascension noted the presence of fire, (and God as being aflame with fire) in the throne room. There are some other similar ascension accounts. This, it seems to me, is most likely to be the source of the idea of baptism with fire - - when one ascends to the highest heaven or when one enters the heavenly throne room. The fringe idea that everyone would be burned alive in flames at the end of the world has a much weaker scriptural basis.

Explained: The Church concocted a passion narrative story and pasted and glued it to the Jewish Bible and then during translation from Greek to Latin to English mistranslated and added and took away and separated the Jewish Bible and inserted the Jesus agenda which caused the reader to miss important verses and allowed the reader to take the Jewish Bible completely out of context. Christendom in a nutshell. You’re welcome.

[@andrewmays3988]

If you discard The New Testament, you might as well discard TANACH as a collection of absurd stories without any factual evidence to substantiate them. I have always found it most disingenuous that Judaism declared its adherents to be "God's Chosen People" when recorded history proved otherwise. I think it's very sad that Bart Ehrman's scholarship led him down the rabbit hole of atheism, which I believe is more absurd than even the most outrageous stories in today's "Holy Bible". I have spent my life trying to understand the Creator of everything visible and invisible, and I truly believe our Creator is infinitely merciful and eternally loving of mankind. Instead of trying to authenticate Jesus's true nature, I have found it most helpful simply to pray the prayer he taught his disciples and live each day loving God, my fellow man, and myself.😇

[@James-ll3jb]

@@WayWalker3 No serious historian believes it even remotely plausible Jesus "did not exist," and the consensus as to when the gospels were writtrn has more to do with the stodgy fear of academics being ostracized for disagreeing with a "consensus" dating that is very flimsy as to any cogent factual basis. Most scholars nowadays will concede that Jesus' prediction re. the temple's destruction would have been a slam dunk for any perceptive 'prophet' circa 30 a.d., I.e., the assumption the apocalypse of Mark's gosoel had to have been inked into the Jesus natrative ex post facto is not honestly sustainable, which means that THE DATING OF MARK C.70+ IS ALTOGETHER GROUNDLESS AND ARBITRARY (!) This makes the common sense view far more likely: Mark was penned circa 40-45. Perhaps even as an abbreviation of Peter's preaching, penned post-Matthew. It is even possible John was written first!

They always separate Jesus from God of the Old Testament the first words out of a Christians mouth is that's the Old Testament we don't follow that. But they use the Old Testament to prove Jesus divinity. But it's clear all they care about is the verses they believe pertain to Jesus. They speak as if it's another God of the Old Testament and Jesus is the one who is the caring and loving God.

And then half of those are ones who knew and composed in Greek. Then than, in span of 2-4 centuries, hundreds of those people decided to believe in Christianity and compose books for it.

Bart may have erred in definitely stating that none of Jesus' early followers wrote anything down about him. Why? Because not everyone at the time was incapable of reading & writing. Some certainly were, even if they might have only written relatively brief stories about him, perhaps in the form of letters or diaries. The fundamental error I believe Bart has committed is this: "Absence of evidence does not imply evidence of absence." I find it highly unlikely that the words of and stories about Jesus were not written down at an early date. More likely, there were various short passages written by various followers, and these were probably collected at some point and made their way into the Q document.

[@frankd2392]

Yet no remains have ever appeared of writings which could have been attributed to Jesus and later references from the NT writers suggest that he only spoke occasionally in public for 2-3 . years . It is suggested that either he could read and knew the Jewish Bible or may have simply listened to the Jewish Rabis as most Christians today derive their beliefs not from first hand knowledge of the Bible but from what they are taught from an early age. It begs the question as to why, if this religion and this God was so important for his "creation" he left it to this imperfect humankind to relay his message !

@@barnsweb52 Elohim is the plural of Eloh. IOW the gods. This is correct in as much as you don’t know what it means. In the late Bronze Age the last Hittite king married a high priestess of Canaan and she was essentially his contract lawyer. The reason he needed a high priestess is because there were 3000 gods he had to deal with, but only about 70 in the Elohim, which his wife was familiar with. Nonetheless the fact that she knew how to make concessions for a great numbers of gods that she could write contracts the did not offend people. As the last Hittite his kingdom was replaced by syroanatolian city states, most of the gods had disappeared but each city state had to deal with a variety of gods. It was pointed out in one of the letters that nearby kings wanted priests of fledgling cites to anoint them to give them authority. This is the first recognition of anointment in ANE. But it made sense, the kingship ceremony of past required a priestess of Inanna and Uruk was 5 city states away. The NeoAssyrian further developed the Covenent code for vassals, as both Israel and Judea were. Again Assyria had a high god Asshur but these were part of an older Mesopotamian pantheon. When Israel is brought in as a vassal then its god(s) become part of the Vassal Covenent. In Deu 32:8 original version as found in the DSS this process of pantheon inclusion is presented.

What we have is the true light of the words of God that defy the lies that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been trying to sell us for hundreds of years. What we have is enlightenment of the true purpose of life and the path of equity that Elohim said we will be blessed in our coming to this life, and in our leaving this life.

Have you read Spinoza? Do you understand Spinoza's God?. Spinoza understood God exists, I understand God exists and you can understand. To understand God exists you have to understand the atheist logical fallacy. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is "sky daddy" to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Atheists misreason "sky daddy doesn't exist therefore god doesn’t exist, and all the arguments that point to the existence of god have to be wrong". To understand God exists you have to understand the kalam cosmological argument: what has a beginning of existence has a cause because from nothing can not be created something. Logically it is impossible the existence of an infinite number of causes, therefore an eternal first uncaused cause that created what has a beginning of existence exists. Did you understand why God exists? God exists because logically it is impossible the existence of the creation or finitude without the creator or infinitude!. If you pay attention you will realize atheists and religious people defend an idea without any arguments. The horrible reality that atheists and religious people sell doesn't exist!.

@@Allothersweretakenn Hardly. But anyone who's spent years stidying NT historical scholarship knows the extent his grifts are sophomoric oversimplifications and outright lies. Perhaps you don't mind being lied to or even believing lies--practicallyban American tradition--but I've always intensely disliked it. And as an ex-evangelical--which is what he is--his oily demeanor and contrived jocularity pretty much give away his game. Even his reasons for embracing atheism are either intellectually disingenuous, logically dubious or just plain boneheaded. Check it out.

This is one of my favorite ridiculous passages in Matthew. The Lord said to my Lord. Why would David say that? Does anyone read the title of Psalm 110? Sometimes the Psalms are by David and sometimes there of David meaning about David. In Hebrew it is rendered as follows: לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמ֥וֹר A transliteration would be "l'dahveed mizmor". Of David a psalm. This is different for example in Psalm 22 which is clearly assalm written by David. The authorship is rendered as follows: מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד The transliteration of the Hebrew is "mizmor l'dahveed". This translates to a psalm of David meaning written by David. But even more the Hebrew words for Lord and Lord are two different words. This is such an absolute scam perpetrated by the church. Anyone can look at the Hebrew even if you don't read Hebrew a notice that the word for Lord is different in the passage. The first usage is the tetragrammaton, the holy ineffable name of God. The second is transliterated as "adonee" which means my master. So the psalmist is speaking about David God is telling David something and to the psalmist David is his Lord. Not Lord in the sense of he is a divine being but in the sense of the Old English Lord and Lady. David is the king he is therefore the earthly Lord of the psalmist. Goodness gracious this is such a clear one and yet you'll find Christians talking about this one when they try to proselytize Jews. Of course these missionaries cannot read or speak Hebrew...
