You don’t. But you do if you’re going to criticise Christianity, at least read it and understand the religion.No...I know you're not a Christian. I just don't get why we have to study the NT to debate whether the Universe was created.
Slavery everywhere is wrong. But it’s not in the Christian religion.Or whether slavery in the bible is wrong.
Not you, more Dillahunty who is a poor commentator on the subject.I posted a video that was specifically concerning slavery in the bible and you got upset because we're not experts in the NT.
Again, don’t expect you to be but it’s a shame Dillahunty makes so much money when he knows very little and makes terrible points.Or that it's not scholars discussing it.
Fair enough, I occasionally listen to talksport when United or Liverpool have lost.As for the call in shows...I know they're entertainment. That's why I watch them.
I know you’re a young man but you’re still too old for the style in which you engage.
Where do you think the sci fi fandom got it from?Lol. Is there an accepted canon across all Christian churches? Or are do they still have disagreements like comic book/sci-fi/fantasy fandom?
I would ask can you give examples of Dillahunty making terrible points but...don't. Haha. It makes me look like a Dillahunty fanboy and that's not what I want to be. I disagree though...it's debating for the masses. For the general public. Entertainment. If it gets people talking...You don’t.

Ehrman tends to keep things simple enough for the masses and yes I am an Ehrman fanboy. What he doesn’t do is raise his voice, interrupt or fall out with people so it’s less dramatic.I would ask can you give examples of Dillahunty making terrible points but...don't. Haha.

Yeah but only if you promise not to mention gammon, as you know, it’s not kosher.Oh wow. You are fine scholar, can you put it in a podcast?
But..aren't they too focused on the NT? Or Christianity? With the AE, we get all religions. And some weird beliefs too. I'm not interested ENOUGH to go full on into certain aspects or religions. My view on Christianity is limited simply because the OT is such a fuck up. Without the OT, the NT is irrelevant..i don't mean on a human level...obviously, like you say, it's been a massive part of shaping the world. but in the debate of a god's existence, it is.Ehrman tends to keep things simple enough for the masses and yes I am an Ehrman fanboy.

Ehrman also talks to Muslims but he is a NT scholar after all so he only talks to Muslims to correct their views on Jesus really.But..aren't they too focused on the NT? Or Christianity?

I know what the doctrine isI agree that within Christianity you’re supposed to be fearful of god and god’s wrath.
But you can escape that by repenting and accepting Jesus. The whole point of Christianity is Jesus dying for the sins of humanity and taking the place of sinner’s punishment. To escape eternal hell fire you need to accept the free gift - that’s the doctrine.
Paul clearly has access to scripture as his Christian theology matches the gospels, which were written 20+ years after his letters, so there was something lying around that had Jesus quotes on - he referenced it within his letters also.
Jesus was dirt poor as an individual and a lot of his preachings were against the rich, he likely saw the rich as greedy people and therefore a sin.
