Everytime Ben Shapiro Was CONFRONTED About Jesus 

Most people think that William Lane Craig did the best job in confronting Ben. Da you agree? And if you haven’t yet, make sure to check out my recent conversation with William Lane Craig as well! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MdQ4jzYXOjs.html

Ben is very smart and intelligent but he becomes uncomfortable with the truth of Jesus and the gospel because he is also very prideful. For him to consider the claims of Christ, it would not only involve admitting that he has been wrong all of his life but it would also confront him in terms of how he should respond to the fact that Jesus is Lord.

Ben Shapiro is prideful. It's difficult to have a conversation with an individual who thinks he already knows everything.

Ben reminds me of Saul before his conversion. He is zealous and proud about his heritage of Jewish descent and will not allow himself to be swayed differently. No man will be able to convince Ben otherwise; He needs a Divine I encounter. Praying for him & his family. ~

The fact that Ben entertains Christian apologists makes me believe that something might be stirring in his heart. Maybe deep down he is looking for the truth, but isn’t 100% ready to embrace it. We should pray for him and his family ❤

I am a Messianic believer. I first heard the Gospel when I was in my 20's and it took 10 years for me to be one a believer. Only the Holy Spirit can open the eyes of his heart to know the truth. Let's pray that the Lord will reveal to him that Jesus is the Messiah. No amount of arguing or proselytizing will work. Only God's work in his heart.

Everyone gets uncomfortable because they know deep down He is the Lord but can’t accept it

He doesn't need confrontation. He needs prayers. 🙏

Every knee will bend and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord

When you spend your whole life trying to be right, it’s tough to admit your whole life’s efforts were in vain. But there is grace for Ben. We’ll keep praying for him.

Ben has a heart problem, not an intellectual one.

I agree with Ben on most political matters but in not religious ones. Hopefully he comes to know Jesus one day

I love how Ben brings on a bunch of Christians, essentially to prove judaism, but ultimately Ben just ends up saying either: "i don't believe that" or " that just not what jews believe"

Ben doesn’t know his God. Jesus said it best when He said: if you knew my Father, you would know me.

He’s spiritually blind. Perfect example of having the wisdom of the world but lack God’s wisdom b/c God’s truth is spiritually discerned, I pray Ben comes to Christ soon! He just needs to ask God to show him the Truth.

I dont think its that he's afraid to talk about Jesus and get into it for the fear of losing his faith. I think its the fact that if he discredits Jesus too much and continues to argue and delve into that argument he has the possibility of losing some of his base. He knows that the majority of his base is in fact conservative Christians arguing too much about the validity of Jesus while trying not to offend his base is something he is careful about.

Ben is a perfect example of a modern day Pharisee, plain and simple.

I think he’s uncomfortable because he doesn’t have a response. Ben is very comfortable on topics he has answers for.

Let's all pray for Ben. 1. I think he gets uncomfortable when someone challenges his intellect with truth that makes sense. 2. He's deeply invested in his beliefs and only Jesus can pierce the veil.

Ben is a modern day Pharisee.

You are so spot-on about Ben. I used to listen to him a lot but can't quite take him anymore because of his hypocrisy.

Ben Jesus never revolted against the Roman's he revolted against hypocrites.

Ben has said before that one of the reasons he is not interested in Christianity is because he is happy with his family/Shul/social life practicing Orthodox Judaism. I think he may simply not want to confront thinking about Jesus, as he may not want to count the cost if he determines Jesus to be the true Messiah.

This reminds me of Nabeel Qureshi’s story. The facts only got so far - the ties to his family’s faith was the last and toughest hurdle. I suspect there’s something similar for Ben.

I think Ben changing the topic is better than him arguing against the reality of Christianity like other unbelievers. He's obviously being careful with how he handles Christianity because there's definitely evident truth to what Christianity claims. If anything, it shows that he has respect for Christianity, and based on the looks of it, the only 2 things stopping him from accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is the fear of being confronted with the fact that his whole belief system is untrue and the consequences that come with it.

If you're raised in a Religion and you find conflicts with what you have been taught, it can be very hard to deal with so most people will avoid it.

in 2024… i’m adding Ben Shapiro to my prayer list. i would Love to see him saved…. before Jesus , the risen Christ comes for us.

When confronted with the truth... IT HURTS! "I am THE TRUTH + THE WAY + THE LIFE"

I think he knows the truth but too prideful to admit given that he’s 99% correct on everything he says regarding factual things. We must pray for the Lord to remove those stones from his heart and open his eyes

Many people like Muslims and Jews cling to their religion because of worldly connections to it.. their family & culture. It’s such a massive sacrifice compared to those of us who grew up in Christian households. My heart goes out to them, but God makes no mistakes. And they are ignoring Jesus’ knocking. I pray they open their hearts to the obvious truth that Jesus Christ is the Messiah; our Lord & Saviour ✝️♥️

I’m waiting eagerly for the news of him accepting Jesus as Messiah; news that I’ve been praying to hear for years. Ben, we want YOU! From a fellow Jew!

He's very proud to be Jewish. It is a very real grief to have to abandon a very significant part of your life. I would pray for Ben to have a private conversation with James tour. Somebody of the Jewish faith who can console him and encourage him that it is okay to honor your Jewish ancestry and still accept Christ. He's not going to have a public epiphany on the internet.

It's one thing when someone who is a Christian tried to convert you, it's another when someone who doesn't even believe is trying to convert you.

It depresses me to see Jews who trust the Talmud more than the Bible. If they would ignore the Talmud and focus exclusively on the Bible, they would understand that Jesus fulfilled so many prophecies about the Messiah.

Pride comes before the fall

First thank you John for all the hard work you do on this channel! It has helped me think through many tough questions even being a believer in Jesus Christ over 14 years. I think the reason Ben gets so upset about the question of who is Christ is that he is a man of reason and the idea of Jesus being the Jewish messiah is not unreasonable. He has feelings towards Jesus because he’s a Jewish man practicing Torah observance and the facts of Jesus’ life being recorded in history and well documented leave him only his feelings to hold onto because he cannot admit the facts, it would cost him everything.

A couple of your videos popped up on my feed and the titles were so interesting I decided to watch. I really enjoy your content. New subscriber.

So glad somebody made a video on this. My dude Ben Shapiro clearly has some anger hiding him from the truth.

Ben doesn't want to admit he is wrong and doesn't want to appear to be wrong and therefore, would rather not talk about Jesus because Jesus is the truth, and at the end of the day, He will be revealed as the truth and Ben "knows' it.

Thank you for your Passion and Communication Andy - Denver NC

Great video as always brother!

It's not the mind it's the heart. Someone as wise and intelligent as Ben, shows that.

There’s a fear that arises when one realizes they’ve dedicated their entire life to a belief that isn’t correct. Such a fear can especially be seen in the uncomfortable nature of Ben, during the Craig interview.

Excellent video as always!

Okay, my brother, this video is a MIC DROP! Well done!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

He gets uncomfortable because many Jews have been taught that Jesus is not Messiah. I think this training is so deep that it's hard to overcome. In the Bible says that Israel in part are blind ... to their Messiah. I would only challenge to pray and ask God. Pray .. 'Jesus, if you are the Messiah, I then please find a way to show me that will convince me'.

Don't fight the Lord, Ben. You won't win.

you did a good job with this video... one of your best

Fantastic review. Very fascinating.

It seems like Ben has no issues criticizing other ethnic groups for being emotionally reactive, except when it comes to his own. It's understandable, but it makes him look like a hypocrite.

We need to all pray for Ben that he See's the truth and accepts Christ

🙌🏻 the video I’ve been waiting to see!! I love Ben, but he’s definitely off here. I continue pray he comes to realize Jesus is the word made flesh and the savior we all need!

Seems to me Ben just does not want to Argue the faiths in a way that could cause hurt he chooses his word very carefully.

God literally takes physical form in the Old Testament countless times.

I think the the combined effort of all the theologians has tilled the ground for the seeds to be planted. Its not who did the best but how they are working together to tear down the defensive walls.

That transition to the ad was 🔥

Excellent Vid Jon!

The problem with religion is that it is a belief so you really can’t convince someone else to believe using only facts alone. They kinda have to have a spiritual experience on their own whenever it comes and that’s up to God whenever that happens, it can’t be forced on them by another human

Lets pray for Bens salvation. imagine how much that would impact the kingdom

Good transitions between guests!!

He is blinded like we once where. Praying for his salvation

The sneak in of the ad was so smooth I barely even noticed it HAHA. Great video as always tho!

Honestly I am not surprised given the type of Christians he surrounds himself with on the daily wire. I know this sounds judgemental at first but hear me out... I remember once I saw a daily wire thing where all the main daily wire guys are on there, the show they do with them all together every month or so. They were taking viewer questions and someone asked something to the Christians there how they felt about how in their view Ben wouldn't be in heaven or something similar to that. I was shocked as you had at least 4 Christians standing there given the most obvious opportunity, in a way that would have been polite and not one of them could accurately state a Christian view on this and instead just made jokes about how he would probably get in anyway or something. Now, I am not saying that is the whole reason he is rejecting Jesus. Honestly there are a lot of reasons that seem pretty clear he is rejecting God but this part doesn't help when he finally gets asked this question around 4 Christians not one of them can give him anywhere near a Christian answer. It was downright embarrassing. And now to speak plainly though, it does make sense. Don't get me wrong, I like these guys but i'm going to criticize a bit here: Jeremy has a large history of twisting scripture to whatever he wants it to mean, even if he is saying something that is true he will still then use scripture that doesn't support that and pretend it does quite regularly. Then you have Klavan which is really a very liberal Christian in a lot of ways. Last time I was watching him he was going to an episcopal church which is basically a liberal wasteland these days ,and he still refuses to accept what God says about homosexuality in the Bible for various personal reasons. And then two are Catholic which regardless of being pro and anti that which is another discussion, their reasons are pretty ridiculous. I don't mean this so judgemental sounding, and I feel bad for saying it as I am no model Christian either, but it still is a case when those are your every day model Christians who can't give the basic gospel when handed on a silver platter an opportunity to, it sure as heck doesn't help.

This was good. I wish you had included when he talked to Voddie Bauchum, too. Ben is stubborn, but I'm praying for him to accept the truth about Jesus.

That was nice and clean segway to sponser ad lol

There would be huge backlash in Ben's life were he to accept Jesus' claims of Messiah. He would be shunned from his community and family, his wife might have grounds for divorce. Ben is a lot like the rich young ruler, he's kept all the commandments but can't give up that one thing. It's also hard for Ben to be wrong. We saw this during Covid when he was all behind wearing masks and getting shots. Calling people stupid on Twitter for refusing the shot, but would not engage with the evidence that he was wrong. His pride feelings and personal experience would not allow it. The rabbinical tradition is also different from earlier Jewish teachings. The current tradition comes from post second temple Jewish thought. I'm sure Ben has never read or wrestled with earlier schools of Jewish thought.

He's in his own world in his mind

It helps to listen to Ben's objections. He repeatedly said that he has a hard time accepting the idea that GOD will come down to earth as a human. He also said that Judaism & Christianity differ on the Messiah, particularly because Christians misinterpret the Hebrew texts. Ben noted that he reads Hebrew & knows for himself what the text means.

That was a great way to lead into the advertisement Lol

His identity is that of being Jewish, not only as a belief, but also as a culture. I think that for him to accept Jesus would be to turn his back on his entire ancestry (in his mind).

It's because he is afraid of The truth and he is prideful.

@ 9:21 Great point about your "fact's not caring about your feelings"

Interesting video!

He is a devout follower of the god of this world that is why he squirms in his chair as he gets confronted.

I think in his heart of hearts deep down in places he will never talk about he knows that Jesus is who he said he is.

That Andrew Klavan bit was brilliant 😂

You Nailed it

I think Ben has put faith, family, emotion, and Judaism in one box and work, politics, and facts in another box and he wants to keep them separate.

I think that the hostility between Ben and Candace is more centered on Israel vs Hamas than anything else. She's been pushing that button hard.

It is extreamly frustrating when Christians say "I'll pray for you" or when they describe someone as their "project". I've grown up in the church, been raised in a ministry family, and people instantly shut down or resent you when you say this. Ben is engaging. Nothing wrong with wanting to focus on what we agree on. Most likely Ben knows how ugly we Christians can get when we assign someone as a project.

He will not accept it because it will force him to rethink his entire foundation he based his life on.

Ben's interview with John MacArthur was one of the greatest interviews he has ever done.

That is why I don't like to use the word Judeo-Christian that some Jewish pundits and many pro-Israel Christian leaders keep using. Judaism is not Christianity.

Ben thinks Jesus was a rebellious jew at best, why would he want to argue about an irrelevant figure? Why would he want to discuss a false religion?

The reason he get uncomfortable is on the one hand he needs the help of Christian’s fanatics an other hand he thinks the religion is worthless

I personally think he does not want to lose his audience because most of them are Christians. If he debates too harsh, he might offend them, and he also has a lot of Christian friends.

Candice’s 1) antisemitism; and 2) her lack of historical research before speaking out about the Israeli conflict; and 3) lack of research into Andrew Tate’s (alleged?) criminal background and conversion to Islam cannot have helped matters.

Dang my boy got ‘em haha that is so true love your videos brother!

Nailed it!

I think pity is the correct feeling to have about the Jews. The fact that they missed the Messiah is one of the saddest things imaginable. Sometimes I think Ben is closer than one might think to coming to the truth.

Dr. Craig has been doing apologetics for decades, his use of logic is impeccable and Ben is smart enough to know he can't compete.

I think with Ben it’s clear. He is more conservative than he is religious. He knows most of his fanbase are conservative Christians so he avoids arguing against their beliefs. I think being of Jewish heritage is more important to him than the religious dogma itself that is why he avoids religious debates

This was a fav video of mine coming from you

I love Ben as a commentator. I believe he will be a follower of Christ one day 🙏🏻

The biggest reason hes probably uncomfortable is because he doesn't want to offend the faith of his audience i would imagine the vast majority are Christian

Thank you for speaking about this. I noticed Ben had this undertone years ago that made me uncomfortable.

Leave Ben alone, his relatives or ancestors may have suffered for their faith and ethnicity in the Shoah "Holocaust ".

They really do struggle to hide their hate for Jesus.

Jesus is knocking on his heart ❤

At the end... Every. Time. I now answer "WHADYA MEEEEEME!" 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣
