No Christian Is Saying That, Dr Flowers

 

It has been too long since we last invested time in delving into Islamic topics, to be honest. I was doing so many debates with Muslims around the world for years that it was just natural to do segments on the DL about various topics in the Qur’an or the hadith sources.

The argument suggesting that the Bible is believable the same way the Qur'an is believable. Christians do not argue that the Qur'an is readable.

Peter J Williams & Bart Ehrman • The story of Jesus: Are the Gospels his...

This is a good debate. They discuss many great things regarding the reliability of the Bible text. Bart Ehrman has risen to be someone who people listen to but he is wrong. The Bible can be trusted. Unfortunately, Dr Williams does not have the killer attitude to really take it to Dr Ehrman, but he by no means lost this. Dr Ehrman does not argue that Bible unreliability lead to his apostasy but argues that the Bible is not historically reliable or inerrant. Of course he is wrong, but instead says he left Christianity because of the Problem of Evil and unable to reconcile the fact that there is evil and suffering with what he understood about God.

Over the years, Dr Ehrman has debated many famous and capable Christians over the years. I highly recommend them.

SMU Debate: Can We Trust the Text of the New Testament? Daniel B. Wallace & Bart D. Ehrman

I just watched the October 1st debate between Dr Daniel Wallace and Dr Bart Ehrman. If you haven't seen it use the link below to order it on DVD. It's well worth it. Ehrman has changed his tune. He used to say that we know what the autographs say due to the work critical criticism but when Wallace quoted him saying that he said that he no longer believes that (link). I've got to give him more credit than Dan "Don't quote me, Bro!" Barker (look at this link if you didn't get the reference). At least Ehrman says he changed his mind instead of trying to pretend he never said it. Here is a trailer for the October 1st Debate.

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: Not Even Mentioning the best Evidence

Overall at Beggars All, Ken has written a blog post about Dr Darrell Bock's encounter with Dr. Bart Ehrman on the Unbelievable? radio program regarding Ehrman's book Forged. Ken has written a great article discussing some of the things that Bock and Ehrman did not have time to discuss during the program in a little more detail and points to more resources on the subject. Awesome post.
