Bart Ehrman and Richard Carrier

A couple of revelations this week.

I have several books by Bart Ehrman .Generally I think they're pretty good. Except for "Did Jesu Exist?" in which he agues the affirmative.

This week I found a debate on Youtube "Did Jesus Exist?" with Robert Price, Ehrman arguing the positive. Interesting stuff, but it has made me question Ehrman's intellectual honesty. Haven't finished watching it yet, will persevere.

Had only heard of Richard Carrier in passing . Found his lecture "Did Jesu Even Exist?" He begins by demolishing current methodologies used for establishing the authenticity of ancient texts. More fascinating stuff. Haven't watched all of this lecture yet either.

Such lectures and debates deserve my full attention, so I watch them in small bits.

I have posted this thread in the hope it may interest at least one other as much as it interests me. Apologies to those who are more erudite and for whom this is old news.

Have posted this in the Debate Room to avoid the usual idiocies of the apologists who find their way here.

His book offers a profound

His book offers a profound new philosophy, and for its authenticity, language Block Blast also becomes an important criterion.

Διάβασα για τις συζητήσεις

Διάβασα για τις συζητήσεις γύρω από τους Ehrman και Carrier και σκέφτηκα πως μετά από έντονες σκέψεις χρειάζομαι κάτι πιο ανάλαφρο. Ένας φίλος μου σύστησε το spinogambino. Άρχισα να παίζω Sweet Bonanza και μετά από μερικές ήττες ήρθε μια νίκη που με ξεκούρασε. Τα μπόνους για παίκτες στην Ελλάδα κάνουν την εμπειρία πιο ευχάριστη.

Hey everyone, just wanted to

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a positive find. I'd been saving for a new fitness watch to track my workouts, but it was a slow process. A few bad experiences on other sites had dampened my spirits. I decided to try ivybet and made a slightly bigger play on a game I liked. It worked out better than I could have hoped. The platform is fair and easy to navigate, which makes all the difference. I finally got my watch, and it's been a fantastic motivator. Definitely a site worth checking out if you're looking for quality entertainment.
