Those of the "higher" textual criticism schools are usually some of the worst idiots in theological circles, imho.

Amen. They construct straw houses in dry and windy weather.

If one listens to most of them for long, one notices phrases like "one would imagine" and "one would think". Their rantings are not based upon objective evidence but on their own imaginations.


I will never forget one of the more popular of these folks, Crosson, when he said that Jesus was not buried in a tomb like Joseph of Arimathea's but was likely put in a potters grave where he didn't rise from the dead but had dogs eat his body.

And, of course, this is who the liberal media runs to every time they want to do a "documentary" on who Jesus was. At least Fox news goes to conservatives (though frankly, I think that in their choices they could go to some deeper vessels than they typically do. Guess that is marketing to the masses for you).

I love it when Franklin Graham comes on Fox. He never misses an opportunity to get in a salvation plug. It's fun just seeing how he is going to work it in. And, he's always working on Alan Colmes to try to get Alan to come to Christ. Fun to watch.

As I'm catching up, initially I couldn't believe what I was reading about Scripture being made up doctrines to save Christianity. However, It makes sense if you want to place your faith in men. The only thing standing between the tyranny of despotic men acting "in the name of GOD" are the SCRIPTURES. The SCRIPTURES contain the truth that refutes tyrants.
