#51 To be Cringe is to Live & What does the Bible say about Anger?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we tackle some big and sometimes uncomfortable topics. We talk about the growing “men vs women” culture battle, how God has been convicting us about the way we use our words, and what the Bible actually says about anger. We also touch on World War 3 and discuss what Ben Shapiro has said about Jesus. As always, the goal is to look at culture through a biblical lens and remind ourselves that following Christ means letting Him shape not just our beliefs—but our hearts, attitudes, and speech.
[I made a mistake speaking about Ben Shapiro - he was asked what he feels about the following passage from the Talmud but he avoids it completely, repeatedly.. personally, I think it’s horrible!
Talmud; GITTIN 57a:
"Onkelos then went and raised Jesus the Nazarene from the grave through necromancy. Onkelos said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? Jesus said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them in this world? Jesus said to him: Their welfare you shall seek, their misfortune you shall not seek, for anyone who touches them is regarded as if he were touching the apple of his eye (see Zechariah 2:12). Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Jesus himself, in the next world? Jesus said to him: He is punished with boiling excrement. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he mocked the words of the Sages. The Gemara comments: Come and see the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the nations of the world. As Balaam, who was a prophet, wished Israel harm, whereas Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Jewish sinner, sought their well-being. To conclude the story of Kamtza and bar Kamtza and the destruction of Jerusalem, the Gemara cites a baraita. It is taught: Rabbi Elazar says: Come and see how great is the power of shame, for the Holy One, Blessed be He, assisted bar Kamtza, who had been humiliated, and due to this humiliation and shame He destroyed His Temple and burned His Sanctuary. §"
