The thing that mystifies me is how Brown, Shapira and such can remain Christians. I can understand them being lured to Christianity out of ignorance, but by now Brown (in particular) has been exposed to enough knowledge by the Rabbis -- how can he continue to pitch the same woo when he has to realize that he is wrong in so many areas? I don't think he is a stupid man, so the question is does he continue for the money / fame or does he honestly still believe in the lies even though he has been shown time and again his distortions? Perhaps R' Blumenthal has a better understand of Brown's motivations.

Shapira I know nothing about -- which is interesting. If he had the "observant" Jewish background of which he brags he would be more forthcoming on his actual background. I note that in the video where he visits his childhood Synagogue he does not give us the name of the Shul or its location.   Why not give the name and location?

Shapira also speaks of his wife -- who was a messianic Jew and he knew this when he met her.   Sephardim (as a rule) are matched via a shadhan.   Yet Shapira, this "observant" Jew starts dating a Christian???  smiley: eek   Marriage without a שִׁדּוּךְ‎ is immoral -- and yet this "religious" Jew dates a Christian girl???    It is rare enough for a Sephardic girl to marry an Ashkenazi boy
