  Dr. Ehrman, you give a long-committed Christian like myself a lot to think about. And as difficult as the answers are to accept, I am grateful to you for uncovering the truth. Thank you, Sir.

  I wish Christians were curious enough to seek or even consider this.

  Thank you for taking longer than 30 sec to for that last question. Your summary to why christianity often finds itself intertwined with anti-semitism/judaism despite being originally based on it was absolutely brilliant and should be taught to every american. They should teach that in schools to all. It explains so very much.

  I love it when he says by the end of the lecture that the Ebionites may have represented the earliest form of Christianity &nbsp;and what end up declared a heresy may have been the original form. &nbsp;I think that this is one of the most important points he made in this lecture.

  I just have to say something about &quot;anointed one&quot;: yes, in reference to kings, &quot;Messiah&quot; started as kings with Saul, but before this, it was for the high priest in the Law, as in Leviticus 4. &nbsp;This kind of helps Jesus&apos;s kingship and priesthood passages dovetail in respect to their understanding of these things in the Bible. &nbsp;I guess it goes together with what he was saying about how some Jews felt that the Messiah-to-come would be a priestly figure. &nbsp;Bart probably knew this, but was just being brief, though I also wanted to say for anyone else.

  Bart&apos;s books translated into many languages. &nbsp;People seem to be hungry to know more. &nbsp;That seems like a good thing.

  Thank you Bart!. You have explained so much and cleared a lot of what I always questioned.<br>I appreciate the Bible more now that I understand the historian point of view than when I was an evangelical.
