  Every time Bart Ehrman made a joke about textually variants he was the only one laughing. I'm a Christian and to make you feel better about your jokes Bart, I laughed to.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moHInA9fAsI&amp;t=5224">1:27:04</a> Why should we believe that this standard is unreasonable? What makes this more unreasonable than other miracles, including divine inspiration?

  Idk why Bart would use so much of his time to tell the audience that only a couple of them will have an open mind. It&apos;s not his job to estimate his chances of winning but to make a case that wins.

  I wish I had a £1 for every time Bart says &quot;copy of the copy of the copy&quot;, I&apos;d be a very rich person.

  Bart is unquestionably one of the most respectful secular scholars in the world.

  You cannot discount the reality that there were easily many complete manuscripts that we don’t have, that the early copyists did have. Who knows what passages may have been added that were missing from some, and present in others that have not been found yet. It is a goal post that could move depending on new discoveries. This is a complex, and ever changing pursuit.

  Take a shot of Whiskey every time Bart Ehrman says the word &quot;copy.&quot; You&apos;ll pass out drunk on the couch in less than 5 minutes.

  If they simply say: &quot;It is a collection of stories that we create a narrative to understand God, there were man that wrote it&quot;. It would be okay. But when they say it is the word of God and who doesn&apos;t believe it will die and go to hell forever, then you better have every single letter perfect.

  These debates will go on forever but if you really want to get to the bottom line, it&apos;s this:<br><br>1) If Jesus didn&apos;t rise from the dead, it&apos;s over. Christianity is fake.<br><br>2) If Jesus rose from the dead, you better get in line and realise that Christianity is the only way to salvation.<br><br>Text variations or the story about the adulteress being fake (we don&apos;t know it&apos;s fake - we just know it&apos;s added later) are meaningless.<br><br>You have to decide what you believe - either 1 or 2 above. <br><br>Have a nice day and God Bless.
