Why Bart Ehrman Doesn’t Have to Ruin Your Christmas (Or Your Faith) Part 5
This is the fifth of several videos Greg put together to refute Bart Ehrman’s claims published in the article What Do We Really Know About Jesus? In this segment, Greg points out that none of Bart’s material are new discoveries. Even the most conservative scholars in this field are aware of them, and yet, none of them come to Bart’s radical conclusions. If you missed the first four installments you can find them here, here, here and here.

You’re basically saying that the violent portraits of God in the OT are not completely accurate. But doesn’t this place us flawed…

And while many, if not most, of the depictions of Yahweh in the Old Testament are consistent with this revelation, I…

When the Bible Becomes an Idol
In John 5, we read about Jesus confronting some religious leaders saying, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.
