I like Ehrman. I think Jesus had, before the Resurrection, no clear idea of who/what he was and that what Ehrman shows is how the early church not invented but discovered the divinity of Jesus.

I’m convinced that he believed he was the Messiah. I don’t think he considered himself divine. I think that was invented later.

He says he’s the son of god long before he’s killed if I’m not mistaken.

  Yes, but:
  
  that doesn’t mean he had an idea of the Trinity and his place in it;
  
  it’s probably something the Evangelist added anyway.
