"Do you even realize that you are posting doubt about Christ from an agnostic atheist? An unenlightened person who studied the bible as a liberal christian and then he lost his faith? No, let me correct that...he never had faith. Do you not see the road you are on by posting these things?
Stop damning your faith...stop damning other people's faith. Stop grieving the Holy Spirit.
Don't mistake this as sarcasm, for I am righteously angry."
you can get angry all you want. what about the people that are already hearing this guy? you dont want to know or be prepared when someone has doubts because of what he has said? i have heard plenty of people on line spout what he has to say simply because it fits what they want to believe, just like that crap you post about the fantasy called trinity. thats not in the bible but you like it. doesnt mean i have to. if its not in the bible apparently its not a deal breaker, right?
if its so bad, start diggin. dont tell me youre one of those people who think you have yours and to heck with everyone else. if you are shaken by what this guy says then i question your faith anyway and what kind of personal relationship you have with jesus. run to the roar, my dear. run to the roar. fear not. and quit blaming me for your inadequacies and feelings. im trying to strengthen your faith. everybody's faith. i have barely scratched the surface of the scholarly stuff. i tell you this, at least erhman has his facts straight. i dont agree with his conclusions but then he delineates between historical fact and spiritual purposes. i like him. god loves him. god can handle him. he handled saul the murdering jew and turned him into paul, didnt he? you are so short-sighted.
the holy spirit is the spirit of truth. how could i have possibly grieved the father with these studies? your finger pointing means nothing. back it up. explain or refrain, otherwise you just sound like youre bitchin.
and as for ehrman, he is a guy just the opposite of the fellow loquat mentions. he was a believer and then went to non-believing. i can see that. he didnt believe in the first place. and loquats lawyer? yea, because, well, lawyer. i havent read his book but if typical, its the usual christian hedging their bet. i mean, if all ya gotta do is say the magic words...........
