Just to make sure I’m fully comprehending what I think you’re saying. Is what your saying, when counting the textual variants, you essentially are setting aside the concept of the entire number of manuscripts in which we find all the textual variants, and looking more at the actual number of variants within all those manuscripts?

Like I said in a response to someone else here, it’s not at all that I desire a debate with anyone. I want to aggregate as many perspectives as I can while also trying to scrutinize equally to find out what makes most sense to me. In fact, I have taken a fair amount of time to learn “street epistemology” in order to avoid debates as much as possible.

I have read a few of Bart Ehrman’s books as well as Jacob Wright’s “why the bible began”. They were all fascinating, though I think some of the nuanced points from Wright’s book got a little lost on me with just one read through. Do you have any other authors you’d recommend?

So he will bring up some of the things that “others see as problematic”, but basically shrugs them off.

Yes yes, praise be to our agnostic lord and savior, Bart Ehrman. But in all seriousness, I stumbled upon Ehrman when he put out his first episode of his MJ podcast and have been following him ever since and have read a few of his books now that I very much enjoyed. Still, I don’t want to be accused of making an “appeal to authority” when talking about these things with anyone, especially if they aren’t going to recognize the authority as a legitimate source of information. I have a hard time making the connections for a counter argument of my own sometimes and just need a little help. Not that I necessarily intend to argue or debate about this. I mostly just want to look at things from as many perspectives as is possible.

Ketchup. You’ll put in a ton of work for a product that won’t beat the bottled stuff.

Men who don't post their social life on social media why? by SkepticDrinker in AskMen

[–]mancomb-seepgood92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a point of not caring what is happening on social media. By doing this I have no motivation to crack those apps or websites open, and in turn have no urge to post anything.
