There exists a lunatic fringe of skepticism that insists Jesus never existed. Most of it stems from the work of discredited pseudo scholars like D.M. Murdock, also known as “Acharya S.” This has been fueled by internet propaganda films like “Zeitgeist” and “The God Who Wasn’t There.”As ridiculous as it seems many undiscerning viewers have been deceived by it. Of legitimate scholars there have probably been few more damaging to Christian truth claims than the infamous Bart Ehrman. When you get testimony from a hostile witness it is powerful evidence for your side. Here is a clip form a interaction between Ehrman and “the Infidel Guy” a proponent of such “Jesus never existed” silliness. It’s quite amusing to hear Ehrman demonstrating the intellectual bankruptcy of the Jesus myth crowd.
Logos Apologia is the ministry of Cris D. Putnam. The mission of Logos Apologia is to show that logic, science, history and faith are complementary, not contradictory and to bring that life-changing truth to everybody who wants to know.
Great clip Cris! Keep up the good work! This is a great example of the length of self-deception otherwise reasonable people will go to in order to deny truth that is inconvenient to their worldview.
Favorite quote: “I don’t think there is any serious historian who doubts the existence of Jesus. There are a lot of people who want to write sensational books and make a lot of money who say Jesus did not exist but I don’t know any serious scholar who doubts the existence of Jesus.”
Second favorite: “If you say that Historical evidence doesn’t count then …Why not just deny the Holocaust or why not deny that Abraham Lincoln lived.”
Ouch!
Yes those quotes are very amusing! Thanks for dropping by Larry.
