4 Misconceptions Christians Spread About The New Testament (Dr Bart Ehrman) - A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE

The Genetically Modified Skeptic interviews Dr. Bart Ehrman about four misconceptions of the NT by Xians. In this iPUB video, we respond to Ehrman, agreeing sometimes and disagreeing other times. The entire original interview is included in this response video and the link to the original video is below. Many Xians have misconceptions about these topics. So Drew is right that these misconceptions are prevalent and this ignorance is obviously unhelpful to the credibility of Xianity. But this video is focused on the misconceptions and misrepresentations on the other side. They are prevalent there as well! 00:00 Introductions 02:00 1ST MISCONCEPTION - the gospels were written by eye-witnesses, possibly the Apostles themselves? 21.43 2ND MISCONCEPTION - Xianity was initially diversified and fragmented only later on? 29:07 3RD MISCONCEPTION - The proto-orthodox fathers only accepted the books that later became canonical? 33:50 4TH MISCONCEPTION The gospel stories are too early for legendary elements to have formed?
