How'd THEY do it??
DuluthGA:
Big replies!! Good thread!
Joe's "Listen to hear His voice..." [exact quote] Bingo! WINS THE PRIZE!
To the dear person who started this, Tracy, at this point, you can opt to receive more info from human kind, OR... shut off the superfluous sounds around you and humbly seek [like on a daily basis]... directly from "The Horse's Mouth..." ASK HIM for more of what He wants you to know. You are gonna be surprised in a great way. ;) I will whisper a "sacred secret" to you.... who you gon' call?? ;) [Ghost busters?????]
Dear Pax, thanks so much for bringing out in a detailed way that there were myriads of Christian-type peoples, some in caves, all various sects some with their own scrolls [I recently learned a lot from the History Channel] and different beliefs. Yes, "the more things change, the more they do remain the same." [It's actually quite funny!] And thanks for the insight into the history and meaning of the word "heretic," I was taking notes. Also, dear apologist, thanks for 'marrying' the two words logos and mythos for me; I learn something new every day. :)
Thanks for your input too Dean although it's hard for me to discern what the (slight) disagreement is about.
Kat -- Righto from me about your first paragraph.
Darren -- Your rhetorical question about "who knows if one has the truth?" I would guess, because knowing is not being... that it would be upon resurrection, first or second, to confirm the 'being' aspect of how He has lined it all up.
Pera -- I'm so very glad you have read the entire bible... now you know WHAT'S NOT IN THERE.... i.e., eternal torment and a bunch more unscriptural crap.... muah! muah! :-* U r coool dude!!

Fascinating stuff Pax!
All the denominations, cults, etc. certainly reminds one of the Tower of Babel.
Peace,
Joe

Dean,
I need to speak up for Pax here. I have read some of Ehrman's books and I felt they were very good at cutting out the fat and getting to the meat of religion, and christianity in general. I think that anyone who wants to become more scholarly about religion should look them over. Now I've not read all of his books and writings so I might have missed something. Where did you hear that he did not believe in God? I seem to recall that he talked about his faith being stronger since he began his studies. I can see where christianity might say that he is heretic, but they say that about us.
If what you say is a fact then I would like to know.
Blessings
Craig

Dear Craig,
Here is a link that will give you some information.

Craig:
Thanks, I'll look it over closer.
Does Ehrman claim he is agnostic? Or do others label him as one?
