Either way. I won't be reviewing Ehrman in the near future, so the second option is the better one.
Meanwhile...I don't know why you are even beginning to engage in this discussion. You have dismissed all historical methodology and substituted for it your arbitrarily chosen approach, which you still cannot demonstrate is not arbitrary. I note that you cut out the points I made about "face value." I conclude you have no response and have dropped that line of argumentation. You have not shown any way in which I am applying historical methodology differently in different contexts. And you still have not demonstrated any reason for accepting your claims about the historical Jesus except to assert (without support) that we must take it all on "face value."
Not exactly a compelling argument.
