REFUTING a Rabbi on the Resurrection (REUPLOAD)

In this episode Trent responds to Rabbi Tovia Singer's arguments against the historicity of Christ's resurrection.

Hi everyone. I just want to say I'm very sorry about the confusion with today's episode.

First it was scheduled incorrectly for Friday. Then, in trying to game the algorithm I tried to reupload it earlier today but realized I uploaded the wrong file. Now, I see I don't have the finished file but the rougher uploaded one still works so I thought I'd share it to at least have something for Easter Monday.

On a related note, I'll be hiring a digital assistant (5-10 hours per week) soon to hopefully that will keep things running smoother. If you would like to help me with the Counsel of Trent and my other projects, keep an eye out for a link soon to apply.


And once again, I'm sorry for the haphazard upload of today's episode.

His psychosis theory can literally explain away every supernatural experience in the Tanakh.

With all due respect to rabbis everywhere, the last rabbi whom I will accept as my rabbi, died in the first century A.D. on a cross.

I remember once objecting (respectully) to a fairly malicious anti-Catholic comment regarding Mary's virginity on Tovia Singer's channel, and as a reply I got "why do you hate us Jews"? It's a charming environment.

[TheJewishCatholic]

I'm happy to see Catholic apologists refute anti-christian rabbis. Well done, Trent.

[bearistotle]

Does Rabbi Tovia Singer genuinely believe that the reason Christians bring up the women at the tomb is that we argue that you should just believe all women?

[ntmn]

Rabbi Singer is easy to refute, but I will take this. And honestly, Jews DO argue like atheists. They do. I was part of that world before. My rabbi’s motto was “question everything, even God”. So yeah, this is better than nothing. I am happy to finally see this video. Jews for Judaism has more tough stances and would like to see Trent tackle some of those.

Great job Trent. The more Rabbi Singer reads the Gospels, the more the Spirit can work in his heart.

[billrupert]

Judaism has been in shambles ever since the destruction of the second temple. Once they wrote the Talmud it wasn't even the same religion anymore

[Sean-lvfx]

Mary Magdalene must have been more familiar with Jewish laws than Rabbi Singer.

[Shulchan Aruch394:3] _"One may go out to the cemetery and visit the dead until three days [after being placed in the sepulchral chamber], for perhaps he is still alive."_ [Shulchan Aruch394:3]

[FlyingGentile]

If by any chance that "rabbi" never accepts Jesus before death. He is going to be in for a rude awakening when he sees Jesus during the 2nd resurrection 😅

[lesmen]

Tobia Singer is correct. There should have been 3200 mega pixel camera to record the event and they should be identical in all the Gospels in 2000 years ago.
I feel sorry for his followers listening to his songs.

[Vdedvuka]

About time someone did a video answering objections from Jewish rabbis. You should do more Trent. You should look to refute rabbi mizrahi as well. He says a lot of things that are not true and people have been convince of it

P.S tent absolutely destroy the rabbi in his arguments.

[gidifihrer]

I would love to see an actual conversation between you two

In addition or as part of the accounts, the rock blocking the entrance was not removed for the Resurrected to come out. In his resurrected body, our Lord did not require a door valet. The rock had been removed to allow witnesses to enter into the tomb. It was made open for us not for Him.
Levi Shalom

As a Protestant, I very much admire the simple clarity and effectiveness of Trent's responses. While I am not a Catholic myself, I very much see the value that you bring to our faith in general. God Bless!

[MathAdam]

Can Tovia Singer's wife do a cartwheel? Can she? Can she? Checkmate!

[Cklert]

Unrelated, but one thing that's always baffled me is the exclusivity of Jewish membership. A person born into Judaism can completely renounce their belief in God, rescind any theological obligations they have, heck even criticize the very structure of theism itself, and still be considered a Jew even if its just by ethnicity.

However, the moment a Jew converts to Christianity, they are no longer regarded as Jewish. Not by ethnicity, not by their community, religious leaders, nothing. They apparently get fully disowned from their lineage.

At this point, I have to wonder what is even the point of being Jewish? I ask that out of curiosity. How can a member fully attack, oppose, and mock their own religion that is the basis of their heritage be still considered Jewish, but one who converts to Christianity, still believes in the same God as their ancestors did, be fully excluded?

Did you know that your version of what happened at the tomb with Mary magdalene, the other women and the disciples is exactly how it is recorded in the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich in THE DOLORUS PASSION of JESUS CHRIST.
It's a wonderful read, most suited for the lenten period and especially the holy week.

Regarding the bringing annointing after the burial, recall that they had to bring Jesus down and bury him before the Sabbath arrived. Jesus died at 3pm-ish, and Sabath was probably around 6-7 pm. They were also outside of the city on Golgotha when Jesus died. That gives them only at most 4 hours to get him bound and buried in the tomb. Not sure what exceptions to the Sabbath law requiring rest was for treating dead bodies, but It seems highly likely that this burial was itself rushed. That the women then go to annoint him properly early in the monring of the first day tells me they were held back because of the Sabbath law and were waiting until first light to be able to finish his burial as they thought he deserved.
