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?
Sophiee, as I understand it, Dr. Brown claims to have had supernatural experiences in God's presence, such as receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which, not surprisingly, affect his perception.  The reason it "mystifies" you is probably because you either assume he's lying about it or, if it's true, because it's not from God. In any case, what mystifies me is that it didn't even cross your mind.
