Now would anyone waste 5 minutes of their time listening to a loser show like “The Big Idea” with host Donny Deutsch.
That guy makes George Soros look like Mother Theresa. He’s a schmuck.

Nice pic of Ann BTW. Her new book has a great pic also. I’ll have to seriously consider making a jpg out of that one for my desktop.

Incidently, I have no idea why Ann keeps talking metaphysics with Noam Chomsky types. That’s a complete waste of time and effort.

Ann at a “Dead” concert? My, my…..

Ann is right. Judaism and Christianity are not two separate and different religions. The latter is the normal expected extension of the former. The Law (Judaism) was designed to prove man’s inability to produce righteousness based on his own ability and to point to Christ, where righteousness could be found through Him. You will find that in Galatians and Hebrews among other places in the NT. Furthermore, Scriptures tell us it will eventually happen in a period the Jews call the Kingdom and Christians call the Millennium.

Man, I like Ann, but she could find better ways of saying the things she says sometimes.

I like Ann, but she says a lot of shit without really thinking about it.

“Perfected” Christians??

I’d be happy if all the Christians we had now were just “pretty good”.

The way Ann came off the way she did is that she didn’t explain “perfected” very well. Her assertion is correct. Notice that Ann said “perfected”, not “perfect”.

We Christians are not “better” Jews. Nor are we perfect. That’s not what it means at all. What “perfected” means is that mankind, because of our sinful nature, can never approach God, because He is perfect, and we are not.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites, which we now know of as Jews, were given a set of rules by which to live. These extend far beyond the Ten Commandments, and include things such as “Don’t eat pork”, etc. Because people could not (and can not) abide by these rules, they were required to make animal sacrifices in order to atone for their sins. The purpose of these rules is to show us how mankind can’t live up to God’s standard.

God sent Jesus Christ to be a “living sacrifice”, so that there would be atonement for the sins of the those who accept that Jesus is the Son of God, and accept that His sacrifice atones for our sins. That is why Jesus is referred to as “The Lamb”.

“Perfected” is the theological term for this, that we are “made perfect” by Jesus having been sacrificed to atone for all of our sins.

Ann was messing with him…of all the subjects she could have talked about…this one will get media backlash and her book reconnized.

Either she misspoke or there was transcription confusion. “to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian” is simply incoherent. I assume she meant to say, “to become a Christian is to become a perfected Jew”.

Try reading this: http://memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD173707

In which he says, “What is happening now in all the sects and religions is that the majority of religious people worship denominations … the same can be said of the majority of Christians and Jews, who worship the names of their religions as ends in themselves”.

Logically, this amounts to self-worship: “Only my choice is Divine, and therefore so am I.”

deutsch was doing what liberals do when questioning people who can not articulate certain beliefs well. there are so many ways to explain christianity, and a liberal will jump on a badly worded explanation and immediately suggest its hateful or racist which of course sells. creating controversy.

for me Christ is the “word made flesh” therfore the Law is embodied in Him. to believe the Law and follow the law the christian must believe in Jesus and follow him. its easier to follow an example rather than written rules. jesus is the perfected jew we are not . we are merely followers.

ann made a mistake, but liberals want her to be a racist and hateful so they can dismiss her. Its easier than trying to understand her.
