I think what drives Ehrman is his bitterness toward God for a divorce he went through. It completely changed him.

LSJ 6. Math., τὸ ἕν unity, opp.πλῆθος, Pythag.Fr.5, etc.: pl., ἕνα units, Arist.Metaph.1056b21; ὁ ἀριθμός ἐστιν ἕνα πλείω Id.Ph. 207b7; τῶν προτέρων ἑνῶν Dam.Pr.460. 7. Philos., ἕν, τό, unity, the One, ἐκ πάντων ἓν καὶ ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντα Heraclit.10, cf.Emp.17.1, etc.: later indecl., ἓν εἶναι τοῦ...

The expression ἕν εἰσιν can be translated "are one" or "are in agreement." It is just which best explains the context. This is where the translator has wiggle room to translate it as he sees fit. This is one reason I don't use Translations.

The APOSTASIA seems to me to be an event, not a gradual process.

The authors of the NET, for example, are not anti-trinitarians. Show me with these other translations that the translators were anti-trinitarian. I am not doubting you (except for the NET Bible) because I have not done a study on these translators. But I feel you have overstated your case with...

Sorry about that. CT stands for Critical Text. This is a compilation of Greek manuscripts that are much OLDER than the Greek manuscripts from which the KJV Translation derives. The issue is between the CT and MT; MT is the majority text. This is a compilation of all the NEWER manuscripts. There...

Can you show me one scholar who is an anti-Trinitarian and successfully removed it in all the translations?

Here is the Bible (the CT). This Bible is hundreds of years before the KJV. Notice it does not contain the disputed text. 7 ὅτι τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες, 8 τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν. Which is translated: "For there are three that testify, the Spirit...

How would you respond to Dr. Walvoord to this quote: "Dr. Walvoord's summary statement is instructive. It must be conceded that the advanced and detailed theology of pretribulationalism is not found in the Church Fathers, but neither is any other detailed or established exposition of premill...

What would you say to Ed Hindson? The following is taken from an old article I have. I just want to see how people would respond to this: For example, Jack Hyles says: It bothers me when people say, “We believe that the Bible, in the original manuscripts, is the Word of God.” If that’s true...

Yes!!

Yes, Reformed people will interpret this as Passive. I contend that to do so is contrary to our Lord's mercy can love. Now, you can understand the Passive translation here as God fitting these vessel to destruction based on their choice. But, no such clarification is present, the Middle Voice is...

Rom 9.22 εἰ δὲ θέλων ὁ θεὸς ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ γνωρίσαι τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ ἤνεγκεν ἐν πολλῇ μακροθυμίᾳ σκεύη ὀργῆς κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν, What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction...

Just a quick note here. We do not have the original manuscripts, but we do have the original words of the NT preserved in thousands of manuscripts. Dan Wallace put it this way: We have 103% of the NT, we just need to remove the dross. You say that the RCC voted on the canon. The canon was...

This is a good question. It would be hard to do justice to the Canon topic in a forum like this, I will give you some information. The Apostles themselves played a crucial role in the Canon during the first century. During the first century, as copies were being made, the Apostles were able to...

I am sorry, Wrangler. I am drawing a blank on what fact you are talking about. Would you mind clarify your question.

I am embarrassed that I don't quite understand what you mean by "where our NT came from." This looks like a good question. Can you clarify the question so I am answering the correct idea? Are you talking about where our versions/translations come from, or where our Greek manuscripts came from...

The tithe in the OT was the same as our Federal Income tax. The total percent given was not 10% but 23.33%. There is no NT command to tithe. If you want to give to a church. give as he has prospered you and each according to his own ability. You have been tithing for as long as you have been...

This raises a question. Faith is taking God at his word. You say you "did it by paying tithes." What passage did you use that commanded you to tithe? Or did you just decide to tithe on blind faith and it "worked."

Not exactly sure what you mean about Josephus filling in the evidence in the time of Christ. Could you please ask the question again but try to expand on it a little so I can follow what you are looking for. I dont want to take a chance in not addressing your question.
