Re: Resurrection in Mark
I am familiar with Koester. I do have that book and have read it. There is a good point that you make about the physicial resurrection being mid-1st century. This may be so. However, when Mark narrates it it is done in a way that suggests that the resurrection narrative is very much the product of M...

Resurrection in Mark
I'n Mark's gospel Joseph of Arimathea (JA) is called a "respected member of the council, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the Kingdom of God." (Mk 15:43). None of this need to suggest that JA was a follower of Jesus, rather, on first reading one would think that he may have also wanted J...

Re: KJV or NIV?
Depends on why you are reading the Bible. English translation preference for me is NRSV but I also don't mind the New Jerusalem Bible. Ideally, (specifically for the NT, but there is an OT Hebrew equivalent) start learning biblical Greek if you haven't done so, then use the Nestle-Aland 27th edition...

Re: The Ehrman Project
... but Soc, what passage convinced you? Did I miss it? No you didn't miss it. I just didn't mention it. The passage is in Mark 2:23-28, specifically verse 26 where Jesus says Abiathar was high priest when David went into the tabernacle. This is wrong as it was Ahimelech, Abiathar's father (1 Sam 2...

Re: The Ehrman Project
I may be wrong as I am speculating, but maybe Ehrman tried to hide it until he felt he could get the respect from the academic community as being a very good and competent scholar. Related to this, I have been told that there are some Christian ministers and priests who no longer believe the gospel ...

Re: The Ehrman Project
I've seen example after example of people who were in Calvinist bible schools and bailed out of the faith entirely becuase some little tiny bs that they found wrong in the bible. That's all that stuff is good for. I agree. Those churches and institutions that teach inerrancy are setting people up f...

Re: The Ehrman Project
Ehrman does not cover up the fact or he went to Moody. He speaks about it in his book "Misquoting Jesus" and I have heard him speak about it in an interview. Ehrman did come from a conservative background. He mentions how when he first heard from non-conservative scholars that that Bible was inerran...

The Ehrman Project
Here is an interesting site. A site has been set up to refute the ideas of popular and influential self-confessed, agnostic, text-critical scholar Bart Ehrman. There are a growing number of articles and youtube responses by some well respected evangelicals

Re: Question for God about suffering
That's the whole point. Would you still do what you did if you were no longer ignorant?SPR wrote:I would of still done, I was 12ish and ignorant.
