Actually, it was an honest mistake. I was thinking of Bart Ehrman of UNC Chapel Hill (and not of Princeton Divinity) who was one of Metzger's students. I don't mirror my understandings after any of them per se. I can agree with their understandings but may not completely understand them in their entirety. Who doesn't get some of their ideology from other writers? I know many people who get theirs from McConkie, Packer or Talmage. Is it wrong...absolutely not. I happen to agree with Metzger and Ehrman because of what I have been studying in my NT class. But I actually don't give a shit what any of you think so it doesn't really matter, right?
