Catholic writers and Jews probably converting to Christianity like Ron Unz working through difficult and historically clouded questions is ….. good.
My biggest frustration, shared with E. Michael Jones, another Catholic that offers detailed definitions and asks for engagement similarly, is:
- Criticism / Definition > "Anti-Semite" !!!!!
- Let's Discuss?
- More name-calling and distraction….and "evil sources"…. "Nazi" eventually thrown around
People are really tired of this, and hopefully such tactics of weaponized terminology and thought stop will end.
I agree that I am tired of it. But I also think you lose some ability to reach across the isle just even with the website you shared. It looks unhinged.
Granted, Sapper isn't a fair discussion partner, but I can totally see why you're getting pushback with your sources. Now, its a bit disingenuous that Sapper won't even begin to comment on the material, just flailing anti-semitic accusations.
There is a complete lack of honest engagement from Sapper about A) The inability for pharisees to uphold the torah because there is no temple anymore. B) The lack of any prophets post temple explaining what the next step for Israelites is like we see during the exile and the return. C) The denigration of Christ in jewish circles and the fallout of that across time and space D) rabbinical judiasm's schisms and slide into esoteric-ism that is clearly demonic from a Christian point of view.
Sapper was caught unaware that Baal was even a big figure of Israelite worship, or what the Baal cycle even was/is. Pointing out that Baal is still worshiped by ethnic jews, just forced by Christ to exist under his real identity as satan is anti-semetism.
Sapper thinks the prophecy that the second temple was to be destroyed was post fact added by Christians to the gospels.
Sapper probably also believes the academic critique that the prophecy of Daniel about the 4 kingdoms is also post fact added because it was too perfectly described in Daniel about how they actually fell.
