Question for aaronshaf
Most of us here recently finished reading "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Erhman.
http://www.amazon.com/Misquoting-Jes...6993512&sr=8-1 Have you read that book? Any thoughts? What is your opinion on biblical inerrancy? Thanks in advance.

There was a brief sighting last night and this morning. Kind of a "hit and run" if you will.

I think he forgot where he was briefly. The first quote that he cut and pasted was from MoDoc.

By "Biblical inerrancy" Christians are referring to the original manuscripts. The issue, of course, is whether the Bible can be reconstructed via textual criticism as to be basically reliable for knowing the gospel and having a relationship with Christ. Of what I've read of Bart D. Ehrman's work, it seems to be a rehash of what scholars have already been dealing with for quite some time, much of it simply made popular and accessible. I haven't seen anything that would shake a basic trust in the reliability of what reconstructions Biblical scholars put together in modern translations.

Two follow-up questions: 1) Why is Erhman's book seen as such a threat to many evangelicals? 2) The article you linked contains the following quote: "Likewise, the Bible has proved itself reliable through prophecy, historical events, archaeology, and in many other areas." (my emphasis) How literally do you believe the old testament? Age of the earth, deluge, etc.

1. Is God all powerful? 2. If yes, then can God give us additional scripture? |

But I suppose if it doesn't threaten you, it is not fair to ask you to respond for others. Moving on... Quote:
But before getting to that, you can't just post a link to an audio lecture. Give us the Cliff Notes version at least.
