BS: From a Jewish point of view, where we don't believe in the divinity of Christ. There you can make an argument, that the Gospels which were written significantly-JR: He was just a prophet.BS: No, no, no. We don't even think he was a prophet.JR: What do you think he was? What do you guys think he was?BS: Well, I, I, I, what do I think he was historically? I think he was a Jew who tried to lead a revolt against the Romans and got killed for his trouble. Just like a lot of other Jews at that time who tried to lead revolts against the Romans and got killed for their trouble.JR: So he became legend, and story, and it became a bigger and bigger deal as time went on.BS: Yeah, he had a group of followers and that gradually grew.JR: Do you think he was resurrected?BS: No. That's not a Jewish belief.JR: Okay. I just wanted to check.BS: We're not into miracle stories, no. That's not.JR: You don't have any miracles?BS: Not by Jesus. There was in the Old Testament. Yeah, you've got Moses splitting the sea and all that.JR: What do you think happened there?BS: What do I think happened there? I'll go with my Maimonidean explanation. There was, it says in the Bible, there was a strong east wind. So there was a naturalistic explanation for a physical phenomenon.JR: That makes sense.BS: That's what Maimonides is constantly trying to do.Big Bear sums up Shapiro and the so-called conservatives who are foolish enough to support him against the interests of their nation, their families, and their faith in a succinct manner:The inescapable historical fact is that Muslims have FAR more in common with Christians than Jews do. It is considerably more accurate to talk about shared Islamo-Christian values than Judeo-Christian values. Notice that Shapiro's Maimonidean answer about Jesus Christ is very, very different than even the non-believers of Jesus's day, as well as being very different from whom we believe Jesus Christ to be.- Matthew 16:13-17
