This leads into a discussion on the various views of the millennium. We take a short look at Historic PreMil, Dispensational PreMil, AMil, and PostMil theology. This will set up our discussion for dispensationalism next week. Time Stamps (for YouTube Video) • 2:32 Start • 10:13 Prophecies of Gentiles Keeping Torah • 26:53 What About Deut. ...

Show #520 - Reformed and Messianic? Description In this episode, I first discuss the journey of identity in the Torah movement I have had and how I think some have misunderstood this exploration. Some have said I am coming back to “Messianic Judaism.” I explore this concept and discuss my journey in Torah observance. After that, I move to reformed theology and what this looks like as it is coupled with Torah observance. What is reformed theology? Does it line up with Torah observance? And are th...

Show #519 - Who is Israel Description In this video, we dive into the timeless question: Who is Israel? We trace the origins of the nation from the twelve sons of Jacob and examine modern Israel to determine if it remains the biblical nation or has evolved into something distinct. Drawing from Romans 9, we explore the concept of the remnant of Israel as God’s covenant people, beyond just a nation or ethnic group. We propose that believers in Yeshua don’t replace Israel but join its remnant throu...

Show #518 - Unclean Description In this video, we dive into two thought-provoking questions from our viewers about Acts 10 and early Christian practices. First, we explore a question about Peter’s dream and whether it implies that Cornelius was ritually clean, rendering the temple purity laws obsolete. Then, we address another question: Is there evidence that the early Christian Church was Torah observant? Join us as we unpack biblical texts and historical insights to show that many early Christ...

Show #517 - Cohesion Description In this insightful video, we dive into a thoughtful discussion addressing common misinterpretations of Romans 14:23 and Galatians 3:12, where some claim these verses suggest the Torah is obsolete. We carefully unpack why this reasoning falls short and provide a clear, logical explanation to clarify the role of the Torah. Additionally, we explore questions surrounding Yeshua’s death on the cross and its connection to the sacrificial system, shedding light on the p...

Show #515 - Shavuot Description Join us in this eye-opening episode as we dive deep into the controversial “Aleph Tav” theology, unpacking why we believe it’s rooted in a misunderstanding of the Hebrew language. We also explore Acts 2, examining where the disciples might have been when the Holy Spirit descended. Plus, we take a critical look at the Book of Jasher—often claimed to be the one referenced in the Bible, despite its medieval origins. Finally, we share practical tips on engaging with t...

Show #515 - Shavuot Description In this episode, we discuss Daniel 9.27 and if this shows that the sacrificial system has been done away with, then we move to a discussion about Shavuot (Pentecost) and how we should celebrate this festival. Finally, we look at Hebrews 4 and the traditional interpretation that the writer of Hebrews is saying the Sabbath has been done away with.

Show #514 - The Whole Law Description In this episode, we look at Galatians 5.3 and discuss what exactly is going on here. The traditional interpretation by the main stream Christian Church is that Paul is instructing the Galatians that they should not even think of becoming physically circumcised. This view contends that Paul is attempting to state the Pharisaic teaching of circumcision so the Galatians will have nothing to do with it. Yet, this interpretation does not line up with the rest of ...

Show #513 - Is Faith Belief? Description In this episode, we look at John 6.28-29 and discuss if faith is the only thing we need. If this is the case then we don’t need to keep Torah as belief in God is the only thing that matters. We challenge this view and contend that faith is much more than simply believing something. We also discuss Michael Heiser’s Divine Council theory and how we believe Heiser was off on this suggestion. We also discuss 1Cor. 11 and what exactly is going on in this passa...

Show #512 - Religion of Men Description In this episode, we start by looking at the Jewish tradition of setting a place for Elijah at the Passover table and singing Elijah the Prophet at Havdallah. Then we move to a discussion about Galatians 4:8-11 and what exactly is going on. Is Paul talking about the biblical festivals as so many Christians believe. We then move to a discussion Deuteronomy 24.16, Ezekiel 18.20 and how this is used by non-believing Jews in an attempt to prove Yeshua is not th...

Show #511 - Shadows Description In this episode, we discuss a video put out by Right Response Ministries in which the hosts claim that it is a sin for Christians to celebrate things like Passover because this is just a shadow of a heavenly reality. But is this line of reasoning a legitimate biblical argument? Not only do we disagree with this idea, but we show how the Scriptures disagree with such an idea. If it were wrong to observe the shadows of heavenly realities, then why does Paul go to th...

Show #510 - More on Passover Description In this episode, we look at several follow questions that came in from our last show. We also look at a timeline that someone put together that suggests Yeshua died on a Wednesday and why we believe that if all four gospels are taken into account, this cannot be correct. One of the main things people want to teach is that Yeshua had to die at the same time the Passover lambs were being slain, yet, if this is true then the synoptics Gospels are wrong and h...

Show #509 - Preparation Day Description In this episode, we discuss the chronology of the Passion, namely, how do we deal with the sign of Jonah if we believe Yeshua was crucified on a Friday. We discuss how the two chronologies, the chronology from the synoptic Gospels and the chronology from John, line up? We also look at the term “Preparation day” and what this meant in the first-century and how the people in the first-century would have understood it. Time Stamps • 3:29 Start • 5:38 What Day...

Show #508 -The Standard Calendar Description In this episode, we discuss a question concerning the laws of God and if some of them are changed depending on circumstances like not having a temple. This leads into several conversations about how the moon was cited in the first century and why so many people today are attempting to celebrate Passover on a different day than the traditional calendar has. Finally, we look at the setting of the Hebrew calendar and if this should be followed and why th...

Show #507 - I'll Pass on Passover Description In this episode, we once again come back to the conversation we had last week about circumcision with some clarification from those who hold other positions. Those in the Torah movement that don’t believe the Torah commands adult male circumcision are not saying it is a bad thing, but rather, that there is simply no command in Torah for adult males to be circumcised. We discuss this and give our take on it. We look at passage such as the Passover nar...

Show #506 - Timothy, Titus, and Circumcision Today Description In this episode, we discuss Paul’s circumcision of Timothy and why Paul would do such a thing if he believed circumcision was done away with. We also look at Galatians 2 and Titus not being compelled to be circumcised. We also discuss the idea of being “cut off” and what this may mean. If a believer should be circumcised, then what happens if they’re not? Does this mean they are cut off? This leads to a conversation about the idea by...

Show #505 - Understanding Acts 10 Description In this episode, we discuss Acts 10 and Peter’s vision. Does God really show Peter that the dietary laws found in the Law are no longer applicable for believers in Yeshua? We look at this passage and discuss why we think this interpretation does not line up with biblical theology as a whole. In order to show this we look at several other passages in the Scriptures. If Peter’s vision is about the dietary laws no longer being applicable for believers, ...

Show #504 - Understanding Galatians Description In this episode, we look at several passages from the book of Galatians that the Church has commonly used to say the laws of Moses are no longer required to be kept by believers. Specifically, we look at Gal. 4:21-26 and 5:3. What does it mean that a person who is circumcised is obligated to keep the whole law? And also, why does Paul equate Hagar with the covenant of Sinai? Doesn’t this prove that the law is a bad thing? Throughout our conversatio...

Show #503 - The Wrath of God Description In this episode, we have several discussions, one that looks at places where the Scriptures talk about what happened when Yeshua died on the cross and if the Father’s wrath was poured out on the Son, then we turn to a discussion about the difference between Acts 15:1 and 15:5. We then return to our conversation about the wrath of God and what this “wrath” actually would look like in relationship wo the cross. Another discussion we have looks at the differ...

Show #502 - Atonement Description In this episode, we start by looking at a common theological position within Christianity that believes a person was justified through the sacrificial system before Christ came. According to this position, a person was justified by the blood of the sacrifices, something that had to be done continually, but Christ came to make it so that people no longer had to offer sacrifices. Now we are justified through faith in Yeshua the Messiah. It is our position that the...

Show #501 - Keeping the Law is the Doctrine of Demons Description In this episode, we discuss the claim by many that keeping the Torah as a believer in Yeshua places a person in the synagogue of Satan and following the doctrine of Demons. This claim has become a standard go to by many within the mainstream Christian Church when faced with people who want to follow the laws of God. We look at prophetic texts that suggest Gentiles will keep the laws of God when Yeshua comes back and reigns from Je...

Show #500 - Calling it "Common" Description In this episode, we look at the Greek word “Koinas” and how its used in the New Testament. This word has several different meanings and is often times translated “common” but this word can mean some other things as well. Koinas is used by Jewish groups to mean people who are not part of the “in crowd” or are outside the groups graces for various reasons. Such a meaning can be seen in places like Mark 7 and Acts 10 when the word “common” is meant as som...

Show #499 - Evolution of God? Description In this episode, we look at a question that has popped up for many about the idea that the God of the Bible is part of Ancient Near Eastern religious evolution. This theology was pushed significantly by Dr. Michael Heiser before he died in books like “Unseen Realms” among others. We discuss Heiser’s theological positions and look at various subjects like the idea that El Elyon is distinct from YHVH and is a chief deity. We also talk briefly about the ide...

Show #498 - Is the Law of God Special? Description In this episode we, we begin by looking at a comment on X that suggests John 10:29-30, where Yeshua is in the temple during Hanukkah, is not referring to the “Hanukkah” we celebrate and remember today, but is talking about the dedication of the temple in Ezra 6. While such a debate is sometimes brought up, the evidence is simply not there to continue to believe such a view. Historically, the Jews and Israel celebrated the dedication of the templ...

Show #497 - Old Testament New Covenant Members Description Today we look at the question of how a person before the coming of Christ was saved. Were they saved in the same way as people after Christ? If so, does this mean that people like Abraham, Moses, and David were actually new covenant believers? We think that is exactly what it means and we discuss how the Bible teaches this. We attempt to show that faith in the Messiah Yeshua, whether before or after the coming of our Lord were brought in...

Do Jews still God’s chosen people, or have they been replaced by the Church after rejected Yeshua as the Messiah? We look at Romans 11 which clearly says that there is a remnant of Israel that will believe in the Messiah. Yet, this once again is talking about Jews that have faith in our Lord. Such Jews have entered the New Covenant through faith in Christ. B...

Description In this episode, we look at 1 Corinthians 11 and John 6 to better understand where the traditional celebration of the Lord’s Supper by the Christian Church and the hotly debated doctrine of transubstantiation come from. We push agains the mainstream Christian view that Communion was instituted by Yeshua at the Last Supper and contend that the “Word’s of Institution” (i.e. do this in remembrance of Me) were not instituting something new, but...
