AC: “...many of the Jews at the time didn’t accept Him.”
Which was also prophesied. The stone the builders rejected...

BTW, this is an excellent discussion. I wish we had more like it on Free Republic.
I agree. There are plenty of smart folks here on FR -- Christians and non-Christians alike -- who can probably contribute a lot to this sort of discussion.
I don’t think O’Reilly’s is the most defensible view, either ... but everyone can still calm down.
I read both of his earlier books, each of which did indeed have some interesting facts. The thing is, when O'Reilly starts pontificating about religious matters, he's his own self-styled authority. Kick that Bible to the curb. He doesn't want to take any flak for being viewed as too "fundamentalist Christian." I think Jesus had something to say about that: "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory. . ." O'Reilly might want to look it up. Luke 9:28.
Excellent points. Like Sean Hannity, O’Reilly is positioned as Christian-ish, (but not like those unsophisticated people who take it too seriously).
From what I’ve heard on his radio and TV programs, Hannity is much more unapologetically Bible-believing and willing to espouse Christian positions on hot-button issues (abortion, same-sex “marriage”) than O’Reilly.
Oh, okay. I don’t come across O’Reilly as much because he’s not on Sirius Radio!
Agree.
BOR has had the chutzpah to be snearing down his nose at Rosen and Hume whenever they appear on his show.
Now those two gentlemen are journalists AND intellectuals.
O’Reilly is neither.
Another thing — I know Dennis Miller hates hypocrites, so why does he hang out with O’Reilly?
Thank you. It sounds pretty much like what I expected: a lot of interesting facts, but missing the crux of the matter (pun intended ;-).
