This is a follow-up to Part 1 In 2007 I debated Dr. Robert Harvey on the Da Vinci Code. In my research, I used the dating of the NT books concluded by Anglican JAT Robinson. It supported my argument for an early development of the NT, before 70 AD. I asked Robert Sungenis about it... He says "I would not trust this guy as far as I could throw him. He was thoroughly liberal and didn't even believe in the second coming, which influenced his dating of the NT, as did his belief that all the NT was written before 70 AD. He simply did not understand the NT and its message, and thus his dating was very confused, because he was confused." Sigh. Back to the drawing board. In Gerry's broadcast that I mentioned in the last post, he referenced William Farmer, a former Protestant Biblical Scholar turned Catholic. I found one of his articles, written as a Catholic here .  Here is Bob's presentation on Biblical Scholarship

Dr. Robert Harvey Dr. G.W. Abersold, pastor emeritus The other day I was looking through my old DVDs and CDs to see which one I would broadcast next. I came across a CD I labeled "Harvey Debates". I was hoping that it was the recorded files of my 2006 debate with  Dr. Robert Harvey, Ph.D . Back in 2006 I only had a BA, the ink wasn't even dry on the diploma yet, so I was even more of a nobody then. It was a bit unfair, as I was teamed up with my friend  Dr. Anthony Duk, MD,  although the moderator,  Dr. G.W. Abersold , was very biased in support of my opponent's side. This fact was clear during the debate itself. The debate was on the  Da Vince Code . See references in Highland community news  here ,  here ,  here , and  here . The audio files were featured on a once-popular Catholic audio site called  Sonitus Sanctus .  Highland Community News  has apparently removed my published response to Dr. Harvey since then. ...

2 Timothy 3:14-17 [14]   But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned , and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;   Tu vero permane in iis quae didicisti, et credita sunt tibi: sciens a quo didiceris: [15]   And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures , which can instruct thee to salvation , by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.   Et quia ab infantia sacras litteras nosti, quae te possunt instruere ad salutem, per fidem quae est in Christo Jesu. [16]   All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice ,   Omnis Scriptura divinitus inspirata utilis est ad docendum, ad arguendum, ad corripiendum, et erudiendum in justitia: [17]   That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work .   Ut perfectus sit homo Dei, ad omne opus bonum instructus. A few things I would like to point out here. This is th...
