the victors not only write the history, they also reproduce the texts.
in a study that explores the close relationship between the social history of early christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging new testament, ehrman examines how early struggles between christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which, in part, the debates were waged.
his thesis is that proto-orthodox scribes of the second and third centuries occasionally altered their sacred texts for polemical reasons--for example, to oppose adoptionists like the ebionites, who claimed that christ was a man but not god, or docetists like marcion, who claimed that he was god but not a man, or gnostics like the ptolemaeans, who claimed that he was two beings, one divine and one human.
Are you saying that Colbert was debating Ehrman? Really?

Ehrman couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag "educated" himself into confusion.

For anyone that would like to listen to Bart Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus" or "God's Problem", you can listen to both books for free here:
zech 12: 9,10 (jehovah is speaking).
kjv - and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son.
nasb - so that they will look on me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for him, as one mourns for an only son.
It's really is amazing to sit back and listen/watch a brainwashed mind at work.
Some people just feel the need to be special.

Care to explain this?
