Yes, bodily resurrection is the key here, but the question "Do we have a Soul?" on this video is misleading.

Who did Christ go to speak to during the time He was in the tomb?

if the body was truly dead, then how can the resurrected Christ (and future resurrected Christian) have any memories or sense of their life pre-death? Where did the memories go during the period of time the body was dead? If there is no soul or spirit, how can the resurrected body have any 'first-hand' knowledge of their pre-death life experience? THERE IS A SOUL.

Sounds like a realy exciting book! I might pick this one up when its published, be good to hear thoughts on this from a non-biased person.

Roflmao. There qas no wine powder in those timea... 2. The sea was stormy that He walked on... not shallow and calm. 3. The phariseers were out to catch him with anything they could make his miracles false. So grow up. You were not there.

*not "God" but their god. The one god they adopted from the pantheon.

he was a stand up comeedian.

God's revelations to Muhammed over 23 years include instructions on how to deal with slaves. He also claims there will be no further revelations, ever. So slavery always was okay and always will be. Or am I reading things wrong?

Christian orthodoxy was born out of polemic and debate.

Judas gets a bad rap

Please do an episode on “the last supper”

I thought it said did scribes change Luther's theology

So, Mr. Ehrman, what percentage of the manuscripts say that Jesus didn't die and rise again? Didn't you say in one of your books, in an addendum, that none of these manuscript differences concern any major doctrines of Christianity? If that's the case, then what's the problem?

Not quite. Job didn't ask why suffering exists. He and his friends assumed that suffering was punishment for wrongdoing. He asked why he though innocent was still suffering. The author's answer (via God as a character) is not an answer to the problem of evil. It *creates* the problem of evil because it counters the view that God is karmic (or "a moral accountant", Christine Hayes).

And for my next trick

16:39

The Gospels, as well as the entire Bible, are allegories and Judas betrayed the secrets of this religious allegory (the "Word"), which led to the "dead" being resurrected from the "underworld" of hidden knowledge. The "hanged man" is a metaphor for someone that descends into the underworld and returns with this hidden knowledge, but Matthew's account of Judas' hanging is also designed to allude to the Old Testament account in which the prophet Jeremiah "hanged" himself to escape the cistern. (In Acts, Judas just "spilled his guts".) The apparent erroneous attribution of a quote from Zechariah to Jeremiah is the primary clue that alerts anybody initiated into the "mysteries" that there is an intentional connection: Matthew 27: 5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. 8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” And if you search for the number "thirty" in the Book of Jeremiah, you will discover it occurs only once: Jeremiah 38:6 So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud. 7 But Ebed‐Melek, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate, 8 Ebed‐Melek went out of the palace and said to him, 9 “My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city.” 10“Then the king commanded Ebed‐Melek the Cushite, ‘Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.’ 11 So Ebed‐Melek took the men with him and went to a room under the treasury in the palace. He took some old rags and worn‐out clothes from there and let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern. 12 Ebed‐Melek the Cushite said to Jeremiah, ‘Put these old rags and worn‐out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.’ Jeremiah did so, 13 and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.” (Note that along with the name "Jeremiah", the "hanging", and the number "thirty", there is the mention of a "treasury" along with the "mud" can easily be understood as representing the wet clay found in a "potter's field". Also note that it should not have taken thirty literal men to pull Jeremiah from the cistern and therefore it MUST be understood metaphorically.) The number "thirty" is a metaphor for King David's Thirty Mighty Men whose individual stories were amalgamated to create the character of King David. These men served as a "cover" which is often metaphorically represented as either "silver" (from it's "white" appearance) or as "clothes" (which cover "nakedness"), and the identification of the Mighty Man Elhanan as the killer of Goliath was another intentional "error" designed to inform initiates as to the true nature of the Mighty Men. (One example serves as a clue, but thirty examples are an "apocalypse") The story of Samson and his thirty "companions" in Judges chapter 14 is an allegory related to an earlier revelation (or betrayal) that exposed King David as a fiction that resulted in his story being rewritten with some alterations (new clothes) in an effort to again hide the truth. Jeremiah was given the old clothes in his hanging in order to indicate that he also betrayed this knowledge, but it was done apparently in an effort to remind others of the problem this particular allegory presented since the original stories were known by people from other nations and was part of the effort to get rid of "foreign wives". Gnosticism began with Judas and it involved exposing Old Testament and other religious works as allegories. Philo created a less honest form of allegoric interpretation which was then infiltrated into Gnostic groups and the result was Christian Gnosticism. Since this all began with Judas, the "birth" of Christ (the Word made "flesh") can be traced to two versions of Judas mentioned by Josephus: Wars Book 1 Chapter 33 para 2: "...the one Judas, the son of Sepphoris..." (Matthew's birth narrative in 6 BCE) Wars Book 2 Chapter 4 para 2: "In Sepphoris also, a city of Galilee, there was one Judas..." (serves as a connector by mentioning both Sepphoris and Galilee) Wars Book 2 Chapter 8 para 1: "...a certain Galilean, whose name was Judas, prevailed with his countrymen to revolt..." (Luke's birth narrative in 6 CE.) The name "Judas" is also derived from the Hebrew word "yada" which means "to know" and even though it was supposedly a common name in the 1st Century, try to find one that was not identified as a rebel or traitor. Strict censorship was also imposed which which made certain that no writings associated with the real world Judas survived, but the "tomb" only looks empty and the true story is hidden there.

What and who made this discovery and where is it published? Total nonsense.

If god is all-knowing,, what kind of test is it?

Sower of confusion!!!

Judas is metaphor for the Jews

Religion is for people who don’t want to go to hell , spirituality is for people who’ve been there already .

he was in the garden with a young boy in flimsy cloth covering his penis.

There was life on earth long before plate tectonics began. Bacteria and archaea evolved as much as 3.8 billion years ago at the bottom of the ocean

Yeah But let's always remember God is Sovereign, who can even question the Almighty! All Glory to our God and Savior!!

Best interview you've done.

The Lord will rebuke you on that day bart....

Hopefully one day, humans will actually understand this is all fantasy and folklore

❤❤

Christian Apologists I speak to on this say that the first 10 children probably wound up in Heaven anyways so...no harm no foul. BTW...nobody can prove otherwise.

the apostles are young boys. - it changes everything -

mark 14. 51. "i am not a sex trafficker." found in a garden with a small boy with his penis wrapt. one of earliest image shown with a wand. medea

mark 14. 51

For him it's not Betrayal Is Racial Cleansing... He is doing it for the Love of Christ... He is Jealous, but also he believes more in the Evil than in Goodness..and he doesn't see himself as a Sinner... He doesn't see the Evil, he know it is, but it doesn't care... Because He have accepted the Other Side.. So that If Jesus Exist he had to Do Evil, to Create a Counterbalance... If the Christ is Goodness he had to Become the Anti-Goodness It wasn't needed...it wasn't Necessary. It wasn't in God's Plan... It was Evil. Rather you Stop it or is not going to Punish Itself... Rather you Accepted it's Existence and You Start Fighting Back... Or they're not Going to Let you... For Females, must be Horrible.

Fyi, barts understanding of god from this story is literally why he left the faith. Understandably bc the modern church worships Paul not jesus. ✌

True. I’d add one more possibility. We wouldn’t understand the answer.

God gave the answer. Idiot Bart. He is having the power to restore. And that he is going to.

Has the idea of Jesus being influenced by Zoroastrian philosophy and religion ever been explored ? Eg by the magi ?

People are absolutely scared to death of God they go along with any damned Ole Thang God does,so did i,not no damned more

MR -Bart D ehrman i actually suggest you talk to someone who actually bas studied about islam in and out , You trying to learn from javad hashimi who has been critised , and of himself is not the source he is the worst to seek for islamic knowledge i know you had discussions with mohammed hijab , and i actually find that discussion not only engadging but more knowledgebale then the one you had with javid , who just said majority of scholars opinion and did not mention them , he also questioned about the location of the prophet which again shows his ignorance , and he also said about how there were christians and jews in the hijaz region especially the part where prophet muhammad lived , which is a lie a basic study shows how those people were on bent on their forefather religion ,ie idol worshipers , and did not accept jews or christians .

Such differences give way to lack of credibility in this story.

Bart how come you hate paul so much? is it about the sect that he is part of? Because I rarely speak of Jesus and the products of his works. OR ARE YOU one of those Language language guys? u know what i'm talking about... I know what's in your heart. I was there before you.

They pre existed all time and space.

So why do we think Judas was a bad person? God had planned to forgive our sins by Jesus being crucified, so God needed someone to betray Jesus. God plan can't be successful if Judas is not going to betray Jesus. So all had to be planned by God, including betrayal by Judas. So actually I have two questions: 1. Why do we think Judas was bad? 2nd. Did God take Judas free will since Judas had to do what he did?

Before the end of your lives and in your direst need ... you will call his name.

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign, and has absolute authority over all things. For example, Ephesians 1:11 says that God works "all things according to the counsel of his will". In other words, He does not depend on our opinion on his ways, whether you like it or not. On the other hand, in Romans 8:28 says “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” This means that despite your opinion or my opinion, God knows what He is doing, no matter how terrible it might seem from our perspective. It does not mean that it won’t hurt, because it really, really does, but at the same time, it will be for something better that at the moment we undergo trials and dreadful tribulations, they will not last forever, and will bring us a real lesson of hope, patience and understanding of life, that no one can argue against. His thoughts are much higher than ours. Furthermore, the death of Job's bethren was provoked by Satan who asked God to test him. One final word; do you know what was Job's answer righ after the ordeal of losing everything? Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing. Job 1:21-22

Oh no not the world end again will this pastors stop

Indeed they contradict each other and we have a 3rd version of Papias which again contradicts both stories
