How Jesus Became God

@sonship said
What is Ehrman doing that wasn't tried with "The Passover Plot" a popular book of the 60s? Or with "The Mistakes of Jesus" around the same time. Or "The Divinci Code."

@FMF

You misunderstand me.
I don't mean all the sensationalized anti-Gospel books say the same thing or agree with each other.

I already said a couple of good things about Ehrman which I meant sincerely. But he's wrong on some important other things.

To his credit he would not allow himself to be enlisted into the Mythers camp. You probably know that "The Infidel Guy" host was corrected by Ehrman that Ehrman does not teach that Jesus never existed.

And to his credit he says the mythers are making fools out of themselves. And he doesn't think much of Richard Carriers efforts at Jesus Mything.

So I can have disagreements with a professor and still acknowledge some positive things about her.

So did you manage to read "The Da Vinci Code" without realizing it was a novel?

That's loaded question presuming that I THOUGHT it was not a religious fictional novel purporting some historical theories.

Your interrogation is lIke that of a slippery politician indeed.

I don't have time to read books like that.
I hardly have time enough to get into all the unsearchable treasures of the Bible itself.

@FMF

What comparison are you seeking to make between Dan Brown and "The Da Vinci Code" and Professor Ehrman's 30 years of academic books and university textbooks?

@sonship said

How much of those links to any debates did you listen to?

@sonship said
Both wrote popular bash the Christian Gospel books consumed by gullible people like you to make a bundle.

@FMF

People can read where I spoke well of Ehrman and where I spoke ill of Ehrman. I don't need to repeat the things I said.

You do realize Dan Brown is a novelist, right?

But when debating he was asked which Bart Ehrman was going to be debating. He has a reputation of having a pop side and a more scholarly side in which he would not dare say some things he does when he is in his pop, sell a lot of books mode.

"What has really happened I think is that is there are two Bart Ehrmans that are on display." - Craig at about 5.01

This still holds with your further interrogations.

Dan Brown's book - religious fiction purporting some bogus historical theories.

No, Mary Magdalene did not marry Jesus.
Now dazzle me with your expertise on The De-Vinci Code.

Why plant the stupid idea into people's heads, except to make a bundle of money?
