Show #539 - One Law Theology: What is Distinction Theology Description In this episode, we look at some of the views of those in the Messianic Jewish community that oppose One Law Theology. First we look at Ephesians 2.11-22 and discuss the One Law view of this text.

Show #537 - The Et Cepher Description In this episode, we take a deep dive into the Et Cepher Bible and see if the criticism is warranted. We look at the base translation and the person behind the work to bring the Et Cepher to market. We discuss some of the translation choices, the inclusion and exclusion of “et” throughout the text, the theological elements that have been included, a discussion on canonization, and the controversial decision to add the 16th century book of Jasher.

We look at the reasons I believe it’s important to go and some of the benefits we get from it. We also discuss comments on recent videos where people have attacked the deity of Yeshua and claimed He is simply an “agent” of God, and also claims that Paul’s letters are not canonical.

Show #534 - What's So New?

Show #533 - Yeshua & Oral Law Description In this episode, we discuss the recent letter that was sent to IAMCS congregations and the split taking place between the alphabet groups (IAMCS, UMJC, MJAA). Then we look at a question about Yeshua and Oral Law. Did Yeshua actually condemn oral law or does He actually cite it?

Show #532 - Are We On the Wrong Calendar? Description In this episode, we look at common objection to the rabbinical calendar. Many within the Hebrew Roots movement believe we should be keeping various calendars but is this true? To understand this argument we first attempt to define what Hebrew Roots and Messianic Judaism is and look and the differences between them. Then we look at the problems and strengths of the traditional calendar.

Show #531 - Salvation by Faith Alone Description In this episode, we look at the celebration of Halloween and ask if Christians should be involved in celebrating this holiday, or if the modern Church’s replacement with things like “Trunk or Tread” are ok from a biblical perspective. Then we turn to the doctrine of salvation by faith alone. Has the Church missed something here? What do we do with Yeshua’s response to the rich young ruler? Does James advocate for salvation my works? All of these points are looked at and discussed.

Show #530 - The Term "Pronomian" Description In this episode, we look at an article by R.M. Bailey that contends the term “pronomian” is taking on a new shape and that we should use it as a hermeneutical term instead of a label. We survey the article and give some opinions and history as to how this term has been used in the past five years. Finally, a look at the teachers who have used this term and how we are more united than ever before, not because of a label or a theological perspective, but because of our love for our King Yeshua.

Show #529 - FESTIVALS Description In this episode, we start by looking at the five major festivals in the Bible and discuss what each one of them mean, what their significance is, and how they point directly to our personal story of salvation, as well as, Israel’s story of redemption. These festivals point to what has happened for believers in Yeshua as well as future events that are yet to happen. Then we move to the arguments made by the mainstream Christian Church on why we no longer have to keep these feasts, and ask if these arguments are biblical or not.

Show #528 - Theonomy Description In this episode, I look at liturgical prayer for today and discuss what this can look like in the life of a believer. Then a short look at what has often been termed “the Covenant of Works” and if this is really what was going on in the garden. Then I move to the main topic of Theonomy, a theological position that contends the civil aspects of God’s law still apply today and that we as believers should try to get the nation we live in to conform to God’s civil law. How should we as Torah observant believers see this theological position?

Show #527 - As Often as You Eat It Description In this episode, we begin by giving advice for new Torah observant father’s. Then we move to the Passover. What is going on in 1 Corinthians 11? Why does Paul use the “for as often as you eat this bread…”? Is Paul taking about communion or passover, or is something else going on? Finally, we read an email from someone who asks if Christians really keep most of the Torah?

Show #526 - The Priesthood Description In this episode, we welcome Rob back for a discussion on the priesthood. Starting in Jeremiah 31, we move through several texts that describe the future kingdom with a priesthood once again established on earth. Is this metaphorical as some have suggested? Or is there to be a priesthood on earth again? Also, a look at Hebrews 8.13 and the fact that “covenant” is not found in this verse. Finally, a discussion on 1 Peter 2 and what it means that we are to be a nation of priests.

Show #525 - Salvation and Passover Description In this episode, we first look at a take on salvation that attempts to couple calvinism and arminian theology. This idea suggests that the Bible teaches two salvations, one for national Israel and one for individual people. We look at this from a biblical perspective to see if it holds up. Then we turn to a video by a Lutheran teacher who discusses his view of the Lord’s Supper as something totally different from the Passover and why this view has major problems.

We start by looking at the basic foundations of this theology, then we move to some of the issues that covenant theology has when it comes to coherent biblical interpretation, finally, we look at the various views of physical Israel and if those who hold to covenant theology believe in replacement theology or not.

Show #523 - No Longer of Works? Description In this episode, we discuss a video by someone who claims that believers need to be reading the book of Enoch and should pray to see if God wants them to do so. Then we move to a discussion about Romans 11.6, why does Paul say “No longer of works…” instead of “not of works?” Also a discussion on traveling on the Sabbath and images in worship.

Show #522 - Dispensationalism Description In this episode, we first look at a video that talks about the foundation of our faith being Christ. This is true, but we look at the Torah as the true reflection of God’s holiness and how this is the reflection of Christ as well. Then we look at dispensationalism. We discuss the various dispensations and look at several videos from dispensational scholars and ask if this is really how the Bible presents sanctification.
