As an orthodox Jew, Ben should be familiar with the story of the Prophet Elijah raising the widow of Zarephath’s son from the dead, 1 Kings 17.
Why would he not accept that Jesus could also rise from the dead?..................
Blind do will not see
Ben can’t handle the truth!
The article is spot on when it mentions the constant teaching against Jesus being the Messiah. That creates a fear of reaching out for the truth. The public and family pressure is tremendous. (There’s a similar, albeit less, pressure here regarding a Catholic becoming a Protestant, and vice versa.) I just continue to pray that God will touch hearts and open eyes (and minds).
Too bad. Shapiro has a good, well functioning analytical mind. If he doesn’t believe in the Messiah he’s probably gonna’ have to be very righteous in front of God on judgement day. I hope Yom Kippur is a moment by moment thing with him. Can’t wait for a year to repent.
Jesus said lots of folks are not going to believe in Him.....well....there it is.
Shapiro is ok at times
I was shocked to see him defend southerners recently then he reverted to old tropes at the end to qualify his defense of course
I listen to him but the neocon runs deep in him
I give him credit for being as quick a synapse as exists speech wise
And he bucks his leftist anti pluralist Jewish organics bigly which deserves respect
But he disappoints on Trump and other issues predictably
Why so little interest in these verifiable facts of history? At the very least, one would think Ben Shapiro would find this credible evidence intriguing and worthy of investigation. It is illogical for an Orthodox Jew to dismiss the unassailable evidence for Christ's resurrection as uninteresting and unworthy of serious consideration. There must be something deeper going on here.
Why do you suppose many Jewish people are so quick to write off the well-documented resurrection report concerning the most famous Jew who ever walked on this planet?
You can thank Bishop Boobbie Barron and VC II for reinforcing Shapiro's vincible ignorance:
No. The Catholic view — go back to the Second Vatican Council — says it very clearly. Christ is the privileged route to salvation, that God so loved the world He gave his only son that we might find eternal life ….
However, Vatican II clearly teaches that someone outside the explicit Christian faith can be saved. Now they are saved through the grace of Christ indirectly received, so the grace is coming from Christ, but it might be received according to your conscience. So, if you’re following your conscience sincerely, or in your case, you’re following the commandments of the law sincerely, yeah you can be saved.
Craig usually argues his defense of Christianity without the help of scripture. This forces him to get very wordy and muddy.
