> I think it’s noteworthy that Bart Ehrman began his career as Born-Again, Inerrantist Fundamentalist who got his Masters and Doctorate degrees at Princeton Theological Seminary, who became an expert on NT manuscripts for largely religious reasons and who, after 30 years of scholarship found that the more he learned the more he lost his faith. A lot of NT scholars get accused of being “hostile” to the Bible or of wanting to “debunk” it. Ehrman studied it because he believed it was the word of God but found he could not reconcile that belief with the evidence.

Charles Darwin went through a similar transformation from believer to agnostic. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles\_darwin#Religious\_views](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_darwin#Religious_views)

> “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19

> I’ve known people who take this literally, that “this book” (ie, The Bible, not just the Book of Revelation) has not, and cannot be, changed. Any supposedly older documents which differ from what we current accept as The Bible are actually tricks of Satan to fool those with weak faith. I wish I was being facetious.

You just **knew** good ol’ Jack Chick was gonna have something on this, right? 🙂

You know, I understand all of the individual words in that comic, yet I have no idea what it says. 😕
