Luke
Some will tell you that there is, “The historical problems with Luke are even more pronounced. For one thing, we have relatively good records for the reign of Caesar Augustus, and there is no mention anywhere in any of them of an empire-wide census for which everyone had to register by returning to their ancestral home. And how could such a thing even be imagined?"― Bart D. Ehrman,[1] Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible & Why We Don't Know About Them[2]
We discuss the census and what was really going on at that point in history.
This gospel shares a version of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus.
Again it is included together with the Acts of the Apostles, as a two-volume work which some scholars call Luke–Acts.
Early Christianity into three stages, with the gospel making up the first two of these – the life of Jesus the messiah or Christ from his birth to the beginning of his mission in the meeting with John the Baptist, followed by his ministry with events and Sermons.

- ↑ Bart D. Ehrman believes, “The Bible is filled with discrepancies, many of them irreconcilable contradictions. Moses did not write the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament) and Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did not write the Gospels. There are other books that did not make it into the Bible that at one time or another were considered canonical—other Gospels, for example, allegedly written by Jesus’ followers Peter, Thomas, and Mary. The Exodus probably did not happen as described in the Old Testament. The conquest of the Promised Land is probably based on legend. The Gospels are at odds on numerous points and contain nonhistorical material. It is hard to know whether Moses ever existed and what, exactly, the historical Jesus taught. The historical narratives of the Old Testament are filled with legendary fabrications and the book of Acts in the New Testament contains historically unreliable information about the life and teachings of Paul. Many of the books of the New Testament are pseudonymous—written not by the apostles but by later writers claiming to be apostles. The list goes on.”
- ↑ Bart Denton Ehrman is an American New Testament scholar focusing on textual criticism of the New Testament, the historical Jesus, and the origins and development of early Christianity. He has written and edited 30 books, including three college textbooks. He has also authored six New York Times bestsellers.
Ehrman gives reasons for deconversion from Christianity to agnosticism or atheism. Bart talks to a Megan about why he deconverted. He never truly understood the Bible from the beginning to end because of the influence of the apostate church and still does not. Certainly, he does have a trouble with the Doctrines of men.
