A very sad story of a man who doesnt know anything about his faith, being caught up by a "tingle" feeling and buying into the narrative becuse he was vulnerable.

You say you watched the program. You will then recall that, at the request of his father, he met with a Rabbi well versed in New Testament scripture; someone who is called upon for apologetics. What did you think of the question Brian Robbins posed to the Rabbi?

Well, I would love to know who this Rabbi was, for one. I would bet again, that this Rabbi was a Reform Rabbi. Only a Reform Rabbi would have told him, "I respect where your at in your journey" (something to that effect) He should have started his spiritual journey by speaking with a Rabbi, an Orthodox Rabbi. But I am sure that he was taught his whole life that the Orthodox are primitve throwbacks, that foolishly teach that the Tanach is the word of G-d, that the mitzvot (commandments) are no longer applicable, there is no Temple returning etc etc....So what does he do? He first consults an Opus Dei member. Then after he has converted in his mind, does he then go talk to a "Rabbi"

As far as the question he asked goes? I thought it was further evidence of his lack of understanding of the Jewish scriptures. If he knew the Jewish scriptures, he NEVER would have asked the question because it would be painfully clear that the god-man of Nazareth could never be messiah.
