Primitive Corruption of the NT?

[James]

I don't know why Bart Ehrman hates Jesus so much other than to say he doesn't like God's redemptive design. He prefers to exalt himself and is selfishly self-centered. He takes pride in himself and is in essence erecting himself above God. I do know his reasoning on the surface that he gives is lame. That is to say, he demands perfect copies of the Bible in order to consider them inspirational. This is, of course, totally unrealistic and unreasonable for that is not how humans operate and we are not robots. We are not sinless beings. But what we do have in copies is better preserved to the original than for anything else in antiquity so that should alone suffice. That being said, you can put aside all periphery issues, and focus on the eyewitness testimony of the Apostles seeing Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings. No naturalistic explanation exists so it is true, Jesus resurrected Himself and He is God. Praise the Lord!

The transmission from the originals of the NT is better preserved than for anything in antiquity so in a natural world where humans are mistake prone that is the best inspiration can achieve realistically. To require better than this debases our human condition of what and who we truly are. It makes us like robots and lessens our free will. God seems to enjoy our participation in His affairs. God works with us in inspiration in spite of our short comings. I prefer this God than the one Bart produces because the God of the Bible is more realistic and reasonable. I would prefer an eternity with this God than the one Bart would propose. What if there was a word God preferred between anger and compassion because an anger element is involved since Jesus had to remain out of the city? And what if apart and grace are two sides of the same coin since the atonement required the Father to turn from Jesus for Jesus to pay the penalty for us? It does not change materially Hebrews and Luke. May I be frank. I think Bart is a dullard. He has found his niche money making scheme being the foremost antichrist negative textual critic on the planet. But to me he is just a dullard who is going to Hell.

The way to solve inerrancy is simply to say all that which was transmitted accurately from the original is inherent so it is like a jigsaw puzzled that has 120 pieces but only needs 100. Nothing was lost that God intended not to be lost.
