But if you want to make a prophetic argument like that to impress Jewish people to consider investigating Christianity, don't make silly mistakes like saying "lamp-stand" and know enough about Judaism to understand what the Talmud is and how Jesus referenced it indirectly when he criticized the Pharisees about adding burdens to people and not lifting a finger to help. And the flaps between him and the religious teachers about doing good on the Sabbath.
I think he made the same kind of mistake that you just did above when you wrote "lamp stand".
If you read the article, he said "lamp post". He's wrong, of course, but I think it was just one of those slips that happens in life.
FWIW, it's easy to check throughout FR and discover that I'm a Trump supporter. I'm also a retired Army chaplain and a Christian minister. I'm not going to say that Trump made an awful slip-up uniting Christ and the Passover when it is directly said by the Apostle Paul, and is alluded to throughout the entire New Testament. My point is simply that Kasich is not wrong on his Christianity.
He might have picked a bad setting.
