We do not know if he shared the information or if he did not...what we do know form the article that his family did not receive this information from him...could be scales or that the rabbi did not share...we do not know. That was my point.

My point about linking ourselves to this news report, and accepting that the rabbi was visited by Jesus without any evidence of a “conversion” to Jesus as Lord was not that it would affect a Christian's faith. But when we (Christians) grab unto something...such as this story...where we have no evidence to support the truth of the claim...as truth and use it to “prove” our faith to the unbeliever we open up our witness to ridicule from the unbeliever.(I believe this is part of the warning in Matthew 24:23-24) The proof of our faith that we present to the unbeliever should be from Scripture and not reports that cannot be validated. That was my point.

This thread is about a THREE YEAR OLD news report that could be looked upon as a news report about a sign...Prophecy! MESSIAH REVEALED! (the title of the post)

Ultimately, I don't think that anybody here can know for sure the truth of the claim from the post...so why “argue” over it?

God bless

NO Christian can prove their faith to an unbeliever. They are told to spread The Good News and it's the Holy Spirit's job to bring them unto Jesus.

There is truth in it....Jesus is The Messiah. I'm not arguing, you just claim Christians are looking or using this as a 'sign'. I say nonsense to that. Christians already KNOW Jesus is The Messiah and Jesus calls ALL unto Him.

without any evidence of a “conversion

And can you say that every Christian you know - there is evidence of a 'conversion'. Sitting in a pew is not evidence.
