Replying to My Friend Bart Ehrman

On June 16, 2022, Bart Ehrman posted on his blog, "Are Christian apologists just being dishonest?" The matter is discussed because, apparently, a number of skeptics think some of the answers given by Christian Apologists are so out to lunch that those giving them could not possibly believe what they're saying. Bart likewise finds some answers provided by Christian Apologists difficult to swallow and specifically mentions how Mike Licona answers the difference in how Matthew and Luke report Jesus' instructing his disciples before sending them out. Did he tell them to take a staff or not take one? Bart does not think at least some Christian apologists, perhaps even most of them are intentionally being dishonest. He just thinks they are terribly misguided. Mike Licona responds in this video.
