Of course, orthodox Christians do not want you to know the whole story taught in seminary. The organized religion is ordered to convince and convert others in different faiths. Be(lie)ve still includes lies! Baptism saying is that you only acknowledge his life and death and resurrection. Accept the present status for the eternal life in sky? Expect the victim turn the other cheeks? Please practice what you preach! It is interesting to know the truth from Prof. Ehrman.
