So you disagree with what the experts say. This is what is taught in Princeton, Oxford and most colleges that teach Textual Criticism. This is what one of my best friends was taught at Belmont Abbey. Its likely if you have an educated pastor that he was taught this too and choose to have faith that it wasn't true.

so the sole force of your argument relies on secondhand information about what some professor said somewhere?

how many teachers have you actually talked to about this? with what authority do you claim that "most colleges" teach that in textual criticism?

it seems to me we'd be better off debating the actual issue rather than using someone else's heresay as ammunition.

No, I've read several books by Bible scholars that said those same things. I recommend the ones by Bart Ehrman. Very informative. Also Shelby Sponge is a pastor and he talks about it in some of his books. He is one of the few preachers I can handle. Of course most people don't consider him a Christain (neither do i)

My friend was just an example of someone who learned this at a Religious university.

ps. I actually emailed back and forth with Bart Ehmran. he teaches at UNC. He was quite nice and answered a few of my questions that i had after reading his books.

there is a massive, massive amount of historical evidence that jesus existed, arguably moreso than any other figure in his time period... this really isn't even an issue

Besides the Bible. Um no there is not a massive amount. Please list them.

Who knows. Don't really care. It's more of a philosophy than a religion and it doesn't hinge on his actual existence.

You're sort of proving my point here, to a degree.

Yes, Buddhism is very philosophical but it also has all the makings of a religion (worship, ritual, necessity of faith). There are many Christians who follow the teachings of the Bible but do not take it literally. Do you think Aesop's fables really happened? Of course not. Do children learn from these tales? Absolutely.

Has anyone in here read Joseph Campbell's works?

Buddhism and Christianity (at least the kind in America) are NOTHING a like.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
