I watched this documentary early on when I joined HRM. 6-1/2 years later I left last December. I even argued against you when watching Wilber's videos with you. I had all the talking points down. So much to say about the movement, so little time. I emailed you Dr. Solberg to thank you for your videos.
Thanks for doing this! You played a significant role in leading me out of HRM. The two most wonderful moments of my life was 1. Coming to faith, and 2. Leaving Torahism

I honestly don’t know how you do it. I don’t know how you stay so calm and gracious. I have a couple of family members that have fallen into this so I’ve dedicated a fair amount of time looking into this. Trying to talk sense into these people is like trying to talk to a flat earther. It’s unbelievably frustrating.
I hear you! It is very frustrating. If you haven't seen it yet, you might find this video of ours helpful: *Five tips for responding to Torah-keeping family and friends* th-cam.com/video/FRKc65y4NLU/w-d-xo.html Blessings, RLS
Some of these questions are so condescending it hurts. HRM is so full of elitism it’s amazing they can’t see it. I have friends that are deep in, but thankfully can call them brothers/sisters in Christ. For people that are so legalistic it’s also amazing how much they lack in grace/and joy in freedom.
During the liturgy in the Anglican church the priest breaks rhe break and states "Hallelujah, Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us" and we respond "therefore let us keep the feast, Hallelujah" Christians do keep passover every week and especially Holy Week. I used to be HRM but i have discovered that the historical church follows and reads more of the Bible than HRM.
The answer to 10:53 where the young man asks: "Why did Peter still not eat anything unclean even though Jesus said all foods are clean?" is that Jesus did not declare all foods clean. Eating meat sacrificed to idols is still unclean. Eating rats and swine flesh is still physically, health-wise, unclean. He was talking about spiritual uncleanness. And the scope of what he was discussing was limited to a certain context. Why do I say it was limited? Because he declares later in Revelation that eating meat sacrificed to idols is sin. So does eating swine flesh and rats make you spiritually unclean according to Jesus? No. Does it make you unhealthy and your body physically unclean? Yes. Were those laws given for more reasons than just separating the Israelites from the nations that surrounded them? Were those health laws given out of concern for the health of the people he was guiding? Yes. Do those health laws support our health in this modern age even as Gentile Christians? Yes. So there is a difference between spiritual uncleanness with regard to food and physical uncleanness with regard to food. The bottom line is: if you want optimal health, follow the dietary laws. And if you wish to not sin with regard to food, do not be gluttonous and do not eat meat sacrificed to idols or consume blood or meat with blood in it (the red juice that comes out of red meat is not blood, by the way.
@@shellyblanchard5788 Correct! It doesn't make us spiritually unclean. But unclean meats are unclean for the body in the physical health sense, not the spiritual.
That's what so many of the HRM people do. If you provide some sort of defense or point that contradicts theirs, they seem to think you're defending everything the church does. So frustrating.
The fact that they have two little girls asking these questions in this documentary doesn't sit well with me. Cults often target the most vulnerable. Good job on rebuking the Hebrew Roots Movement, brother Solberg.
That jumped out at me, too! In fact, I almost didn't include the questions from the children for that reason. But, since their parents had already used them publicly in this trailer and the accompanying documentary, I kept them in. RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots True. Their parents are probably part of this movement and so those poor children have been indoctrinated into believing this is the truth when it's not. I hope and pray though that those children and their families do get to know the true gospel of the true Christ, though
I believe the heart of the issue is actually the all or nothing view when it comes to justification. Those who reject justification by faith alone will condemn themselves one way or another. They all cherry pick from the Law, but even if they don't, they condemn themselves all the more, because it's so much easier to realize you're breaking the Law if you take it all as a pacakge, than if you cherry pick from it.
Hi Rob, l have gone over the videos of your critics, and l have to say, you are SO correct over everything you have raised. It is too simplistic for those who feel comforted by keeping laws or doing sacrifices. And your latest take on Torah Observant folks, who have returned unto the beggarly elements. The Christian Church is off the rails for they have not the law written on their hearts. The Law of Liberty has exposed the tares, but shown that those who are led by the Spirit are fully born again. God is way to smart, for he is indeed not outsmarted by those who should again tangle us in Pharisaical laws. The law is perfect, converting the soul. Those who would lean in against the bosom of Jesus knowing he has fulfilled all debt upon the cross, and his blood has atoned for sin once and for all. Love you Rob
They're not following Jesus but Moses who they place their expectancy. J5.45 "Do not deem that I, yea I, will accuse you to the Father; Moses is the one accusing you, into whom you have taken expectancy."
Thank God for your knowledge and passion in this area Brother Solberg. I have been in the trenches in opposing the erroneous doctrines that form the core of the HRM for over five years. You are a source of inspiration and a wealth of information. To use a biblical saying, you truly have shown the patience of Job. I have to say I have been personally affected by the HRM. My will is starting to fade and my energy low. I find the entrenched position of a lot of the followers of this Torah-keeping sect and their anger against those who don't share their beliefs kind of scary. I've been constantly verbally abused and had direct violence threatened toward me. They have their 12-15 talking points and really won't engage in any real debate. A couple of bible verses are starting to come to mind: Titus 3:9 (NIV) But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Matthew 7:6 (NIV) Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

I have a simple but two-part question... If I ask Paul what should I do to receive eternal life? What would be his answer? Now with that answer in mind... If I ask Jesus, what should I do to receive eternal life? What would his answer be?
Romans 14:5, Someone considers a day above another and is justified if observed with the Lord in mind. Spoken to the Romans, where I think the feast of Saturnalia originated. Could that day be any better than the Wiccan? Yet it is now Christmas. So I think the passage allows observing any day, and apparently the early church agreed, so long as you understand that it is to the Lord.
I find it interesting that every one of these questions are delivered as if they are "zingers," and yet everyone is easily answered if you truly study the Word of God.
God only made a covenant with the nation of Isreal. He never made a any covenant with any Gentiles. The New Testament was fulfilled by His obedience by the death on the cross. We enter into this covenant by faith in His blood. So Jesus filled the requirement with the Father by His sacrifice obtaining the forgiveness of sin. It is our faith in His blood that we are now declared righteous. It is not our responsibility to live the Christian life it is our response to His ability. It is not a law relationship but life relationship. Paul said I pray that you would know my mystery in Christ. Crist in you the hope of glory.
The Bible includes 8 Covenants: Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Land, Davidic, and New. The first three were made with all nations to come, i.e. Gentiles, as they were made before Israel existed. It could even be argued that the Abrahamic Covenant was made with a Gentile, as the nation of Israel (Jacob's descendants) came two generations later. Thus, it is inaccurate to say God never made any covenant with Gentiles.
All the above (re: dancingzollins) plus: Testament MEANS Covenant. Old Testament = Old Covenant. New Testament = New Covenant. Marriage is also a covenant. God considered Himself in a marriage covenant with faithless Israel who cheated on Him, i.e. they broke the marriage covenant, forcing Him to divorce.

Gal 3 can really solve a lot of these back and forth arguments. It is very important when Paul mentions the word Law to ask yourself and understand from the context what laws, or what part of the Law he is referring to. In Gal 3 he explains that a covenant, once ratified, no one adds to it. Why then the Law - it was added because of transgressions he says. This is the nugget, the sentence that makes a distinction in the Law, in other words there was law that was being transgressed, and then there was Law that was added because of the transgressions. If we examine Exo 24 carefully, the book of the covenant is read , the people (mixed multitude) all agree to all God's instructions and then there is blood ratification and the covenant confirming meal - the covenant is now ratified! Straight after this God calls Moses back up the mountain, and now Moses gets the Law and commandments to "teach them" (schoolmaster). This is where the Law of the Tabernacle, Earthly high priest and associated reconcilliatory ministry is given , which includes all the sacrifices, offerings etc. God himself makes this same distinction when He says "obedience is better than sacrifice". Again He says "sacrifice and offering I DID NOT require, but a contrite heart". This is the Law that was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, and now that Christ has arrived and completed His first visitation and ministry, we are no longer under the schoolmaster. If we long to stay under that system, and rely on that system for forgiveness of sin, then we are rejecting the grace that was offered through Christ. A mistake is being made on both sides of the argument by seeing the word Law and assuming it always refers to everything in the first 5 books. So just like in secular law, there is the obligatory part of the law, and then there is the penal code. The penal code has no effect or power over us if we keep the obligatory part of the Law. If we examine the covenant - the instructions for feasts and Sabbaths were part of the covenant, given before the blood ratification in Exo 24. Noah even knew the distinction between clean and unclean animals. As for using Col 2:16,17 as proof against feast keeping, it is based on an assumption that the people in Colossae were not observing those things, and that assumption comes because of repeated sayings and teachings that circulate through the mainstream church, like oh those Jewish feasts, we Christians don't keep those Jewish feasts, we have our own holy days etc. Once this is a foundational thought and belief, it is easy to read into Paul's writings what we already believe. I will put it out there that the new believers in Colossae were observing Sabbath, feasts etc, and they were being judged by religious Jews who had added hundreds of additional do's and don'ts to these events. Compare this with the time when Jesus and His disciples were also judged according to traditions of men for breaking Sabbath because they crushed grain in their hands, and not washing hands properly according to the 👉traditions of men👈before eating bread. Verse 16 of Col 2, contains the word therefore, indicating we have to gain gain context from the surrounding text. Straight away we see Paul is speaking against "traditions of men" before and after verse 16.
HR followers conveniently point to Scripture and take a specific passage at face value (e.g. "See! Jesus and the Apostles kept the Sabbath!") when it suits their narrative but when a verse seems to go against their narrative (e.g. "Don't let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink or regarding new moon or sabbaths) they say "Oh no, that's not what that verse is saying!" and they come up with all these mental gymnastics to jam their own meaning into a verse. I find this tactic very effective because it doesn't require the listener to think and analyze: Jesus kept kosher laws > We are to be like Jesus > Therefore we are to keep kosher. It's a very simplistic approach and at face value makes sense that's why people get sucked into it.
Good effort answering these "questions." And I use quotations because oftentimes HR folks put forth loaded or rhetorical questions much like "have you stopped beating your wife?" to get you to admit that you're somehow "anti-law." They know for a fact that no genuine and sincere Christian is opposed to following the Lord's commandments. In fact that's what affirms whether you are a genuine follower of Christ and are being sanctified by the Spirit. The problem is they conflate moral laws and civil laws and ceremonial laws. Moral laws are eternal; ceremonial/civil laws aren't.

This was great simple perfect responses to Hebrew roots questions that give clarity to what can be confusing and contradictory for many including myself not too long ago
@sundayciscero it's called babble talk, from Babylon. All Man languages is influancers of His Own Biascies. For 2000 years man has been in control over bible language. Be careful. Sin One of Man tells the whole story, Thy Deciever Job is to get Man to NOT Follow Most Highs Instructions!
If you say that God made a covenant with a believer, that means we responsibe in some way to obtain some rightousness of our own as an acceptance with God. This is not our standing. God put the believer in His Son and then we are made the Righteous of God in Him. Its called entering into His rest.
The Way so misrepresents biblical Christianity. I have the dvd and I have seen what they post on church doors on reformation day. I read part of their book and honestly the author has little knowledge of basic Christianity, basic principals of heremenutics. He claims his book is apologetic book for the doctrines of the torah movement. Very poor arguments. I do not think he has any understanding of true apologetics at all. If I was still part of the torah movement I would be embarrased by his book (that I could not even finish) that claims to be an apologetic for the torah movement.
Exactly. Professor Solberg would have you believe he is tolerant and has no qualms with keeping the Torah, feast days, and Sabbath. But his tone and language indicate otherwise
Personally, I think there is a gaping and blatant logical fallacy within Christianity and ESPECIALLY Torah. I have never heard anyone address it. It is as follows: Contractually, YHWH was bound to bless anyone who obeyed all the commandments. How then, is Jesus cursed? Does the cursing of a perfect practitioner of torah nullify the terms of the contract? And if Jesus, being perfectly observant, was cursed, what makes us think we could be blessed by our (admittedly imperfect) observance?
The comment you made about Peter eating with the gentiles did not prove that he was eating anything unclean. Didn’t Jesus eat with the gentiles? . That wasn’t a very good example. We are approaching a time when we will rule and reign with Christ and his Kingdoms instructions look much like they did from the very beginning. It seems like learning about and being trained for these things that we clearly will be keeping, Isaiah 66:23 and Zechariah 14 would help in that process don’t you? How long do you think we should keep pushing back, or think it is permitted but not required? I might have spoken prematurely, as you may not even believe these scriptures to be referring to the time when we rule and reign with Christ. I am sincerely wanting to walk on this earth and be a good ambassador for our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that just as the reformation lead back to a closer understanding of what it meant to be a God fearer, so has this awakening. If we understand also that many of these beliefs that we are now understanding to be truth, were banned about 300 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, it becomes even more clear that as Jesus is about to return, we should rethink and be very diligent with God’s Word. He is coming back for the people who are found with the testimony of Jesus and keep his commandments. Oh! Happy Day! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!!!!
The Way documentary was originally going to be ALL about circumcision! Literally promoting it! They were advised against it and instead, just included a segment where this guy talks about how he circumcised HIMSELF in his bath tub! Well, he ended up in the ER and the psych unit🤦♀️ He was laughing as he told the story. I had bought the download version of the documentary as soon as it was released and watched it right away, however, when I watched it months later at a gathering, it did not notice that segment. I believe they edited it out when it came out on DVD. Incredibly dangerous and irresponsible of them to have included that segment and a blatant disregard of scripture in general regarding the topic of circumcision!
@TheBiblicalRoots Regarding #4-"Everlasting Law", Mat 5:17-18 says the law will not pass away "...until it is fulfilled". Also, a fulfilled contract can still be everlasting: 1) it exists as Active while it is being executed and 2) it exists as Inactive when all terms have been fulfilled. For example, my past mortgage contracts still exist as a matter of record but since i've paid off the balance (fulfilled it) i am NOT continuing to make those mortgage payment, that would be silly, the bank would send my payments back with a reminder that that contract has been fulfilled.
Doesn't tale much of an IQ to understand that one is the Old Covenant and the other is the New Covenant. The Mosaic law was conditional and Israel broke it.

Your contradicting yourself. Your saying that it is both permissible and a blatant declaration of not trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus to observe the shadow of Colossians 2. The reason the sabbath of Colossians 2 is a shadow is because it contained sacrifices that represented the sacrifice of Jesus.

You don't get it. All we've done is opened our Bibles, and read it. It's something we're told to do every Sunday in church, and pastors seem to be freaking out. We see the laws given to Moses are every day laws to live by. For example, "pay your workers right away", "don't strike your parents", "don't take advantage of widows", "don't have sex with animals", etc.. If you say the law has been done away with, then you're saying, Christians don't have to pay their workers, can strike their parents, can take advantage of widows, can sleep with animals, etc., thanks to Jesus? Again, you don't get it.
Hi, BW! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). Blessings, Rob
@TheBiblicalRoots no one in Hebrew Roots thinks we need to sacrifice animals. Again, all we've done is opened the Bible, read it, noticed there's 613 laws God wants us to live by. They're simple every day laws to live a peaceful and healthy life. Pastors should be teaching on these laws, instead of every sermon being, "God loves you, and wants the best for you. Now give me 10% of your income, and God will bess you" I went to church for 40 years, and never once heard a sermon on God's laws. Instead I was made to believe they're bad.
I really appreciate your videos and wonder if you’ve ever done a thoughtful response to @Truthunedited ? I can’t quite place what this channel is exactly but I feel like Hebrew Roots plays a large part in its theology. Thoughts?
Hi, Jaime and Matt! I have not responded to any of their teachings as of yet. But based on the statement of faith on their website, they do appear to be Hebrew Roots. The statement includes this: "We believe that we are redeemed to YAHUAH by the Law of Moses, but through belief in Yahusha the Messiah, we are all born again believers that live by the Grace of YAH." Blessings, RLS
I'm not understanding. It seems hypocritical because Christianity is somewhat doing the same thing, in regards to the optionality. They just used the word torahism, legalism and heresy.
I see the law as at least two parts, the commandments and the curses. Jesus removed the curse of the law by his sacrifice, leaving the commandments, which if they would have had the faith of Abraham, they would have kept. Sometimes when Paul mentions the law I believe that he is referring to the commandments, the law is spiritual. Other times he is obviously referring to the curse of the law. The old covenant was the law of sin and death.(the law of breaking the commandment, and receiving the curse). The new covenant is the law of sin and forgiveness. (the law of breaking the commandment, and not receiving the curse, but forgiveness). So I agree that the commandments are not required for salvation, but I do believe that it is still his will that we keep them. This is an example of how I understand it. He gives us instructions, because we love and trust him we endeavor to follow his instructions. But when we mess up, he'll forgive us, we're no longer under the curse of the law. On the other hand if we refuse to follow his instructions, we're non of his because we have no faith. Just the way I see it.
Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week. Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labour of trying to keep and observe the Law. If keeping the law could save us, then animal sacrifices would remain sufficient, and Christ's death and resurrection would be in vain. Hebrews 4:9-10 "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter an eternal spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. Those who did not believe did not enter the promised land. God's rest is also in continues state, and so is our redemption and salvation, which is a continuous state every day. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of purchase, God's stamp of approval and sign of the covenant, replacing physical circumcision or esteeming one day over another. Although rest and circumcision might have physical benefits, keeping them is allowed but no longer required under God's new covenant. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." Ephesians 1:13-14 "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory." 2 Corinthians 5:5 "Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." These passages affirm that the Holy Spirit is given to believers as a guarantee or a deposit, signifying God's promise, ensuring our future inheritance and eternal rest in Christ under the new covenant. Colossians 2:16-17 "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfils their true meaning. Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Christ's death, burial, and resurrection established the end of the Law and the old covenant as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws and establishes a new priesthood under a new covenant of grace and faith called God’s Israel (Galatians 6:15-16). Therefore, the old law remains applicable to anyone outside of the new covenant through Christ Jesus, including the unsaved and those who have no part in the body of Christ! 1 Timothy 1:8-11 "Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted." This passage emphasizes that the law is good when used lawfully, with the purpose to point out our sinful condition, making our sin exceedingly sinful in God’s sight, declaring everyone punishable by God. The Law is meant to guide our behaviour and to convict us of sin, highlighting the need for grace and a redeemer. Galatians 3:24-25 "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian." The Law, including the Sabbath, pointed us to Christ Jesus and the new covenant, but now believers are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law or their own abilities. There is no more place for the old covenant for those who were purchased and brought under the new covenant. John 15:1-5 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." This passage teaches that Christ is the true vine into which believers are grafted, signifying their union with Him and their dependence on Him for spiritual life, fruitfulness, and salvation. Furthermore, the concept of being grafted into Christ, the true vine, underscores the intimate relationship, continues rest and unity believers have with Him, highlighting their complete dependence on Him for spiritual sustenance, growth, righteousness, and eternal rest. Believers in Christ will bear good fruit and good works because they are saved and changed. Christ also keeps us, not the other way around, where we do good works in order to gain favour or keep our salvation. If we could lose our salvation, we would, and God, who loves us, knows this. Therefore, He kept it very simple yet amazing, He is the author and the keeper of our faith. To rest, to be circumcised, and to worship God on a specific day might be beneficial since the Sabbath was made for man unto a sign of promise. However, these things are no longer required under the new covenant where Christ Jesus is our high priest, the manifested promise, and the Holy Spirit is our sign of covenant. We are saved by our faith, through grace; it is the gift from God, not of our works, so that no man can boast in his own ability or his own doing. Our best efforts are as filthy rags before our Holy and Just God. Attempting to bribe God with our works of self-righteousness is not scriptural, and our God is not bribed by men. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
If Jesus is our sabbath why does He tell us to pray our flight is not on Sabbath, during the great tribulation?? Matthew 24:20 “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. Matthew 24:21 “For then there shall be great distress, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. Why does the writer of Hebrews tell us those who do not enter into that rest are examples of disobedience?
@@kimartist hmm yes I can see where you are confused, cause it can seem like they were talking about that time when they fleed then However, if we diligently pay attention to what Jesus was commanding us in Matthew 24:20 about “pray that your flight is not on the sabbath” If we read the next verse, The very next verse after Matthew 24:20, which would be Matthew 24:21 -it’s says “For then there shall be great distress,such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” So that being said, that has yet to happen -So if we listen to Jesus and what he commands us we should still at this very moment, be praying our flight is not on the sabbath or in winter -like he told us to in the verse above THUS, Jesus was implying the Sabbath day is still in effect. And it is for everyone, not just Jews. Maybe that’s why the 4th command is “remember” the sabbath day -cause He knew we would forget it Shalom and I pray our flight does not take place on the Sabbath or in Winter. Have a blessed day❤️
@@Yahstroops You are a sloppy scholar. Matthew 26 : 20 says: "When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve." Matthew 26 : 21 says: "And while they were eating, he said, 'Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.'" Matthew 24 : 1 & 2 says: "Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 'Do you see all these things?' he asked. 'Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'" Clearly Jesus is speaking of/prophesying about the soon-coming destruction of the Temple in Matthew 24. "Some, having fallen short of these things, have wandered away into senseless babble, wishing to be teachers of the law even though they do not understand either what they are saying or concerning what things they are so dogmatically asserting." ~ 1 Timothy 1: 6-7
@@kimartist good thing I’m not a scholar and I am a child of our Heavenly Father. I’m not perfect and in need of a Savior, But I strive to be like He tells us too: Matthew 5:48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.” Thank you Yahuah through His son Yahusha for blessing the 7th day for us to rest. Have a blessed upcoming Sabbath ❤️
We are warned that Paul’s writings are difficult and we need to be studied in the Old Testament before reading his letters. And rather than argue, I’ll suggest that those with ears to hear and eyes to see will find the path. It is a narrow path. FEW find it. FEW. Not many. So keep seeking and knocking dear ones. Don’t underestimate the depths of Paul’s writings. Study the old testament . Yourself. With your own eyes. Finally, a clue for you. How many people make up “ a few?” How many would represent “many”? 119 ministries and Rob Skiba or New2Torah are reliable and trustworthy resources if you want to look deeper. Peace to the reader of this comment. Peace.
Q #1: Yes, Jesus was born under the Law (Gal 4:4) but that does not somehow indicate we are not. Most likely it is indicating 2 of the context clues of prophecy about Jesus - #1 born of a woman and #2 born under the law/He is a Hebrew. It doesn't somehow mean "Jesus was born under the law and now no believers are born under the Law" Romans is a beautiful letter that after reading it for the past few weeks really seems to be leaning more towards keeping the Law. Many verses in Romans, when taken in isolation, can be skewed to either side. Romans 7:14, Romans 7:16, Romans 7:22 all seem to support a Law abiding life and equating the Law with righteousness and holiness. So I think we can agree that the book of Romans should probably be taken as a whole. When you look at it as a whole, Paul seems to be saying that sin took an opportunity when the Law came and was able to work more sin in a human life - kind of like if someone tells you not to think of a pink elephant, it's going to be near impossible to not think of a pink elephant. But I bet you were not thinking about that pink elephant until someone told you not to, it wasn't even really a temptation. He seems to be talking about how because we are unable to keep the law perfectly we are under the law's penalty - which is to suffer the second death (everyone, even perfect Jesus, suffers the first, only a righteous person can escape the second death...ehem only Jesus and God gave Jesus the authority to resurrect those who are His). But now that we are under grace!!!! (the definition of grace is, according to merriam webster: unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification) we are no longer under the law. The opposite of grace is not law. The opposite of grace is getting what we deserve which is the second death. The context here is allowing us to see that Paul is saying we are no longer under the penalty of the law, death, we are under grace, life. He even continues to constantly uphold the Law in Romans - just because you no longer have to suffer the second death, don't take that generosity and then heap up more sin! Romans states the Law is righteous and holy and good AND spiritual but that our sinful bodies are carnal and unclean. I think of what Paul is saying as this: You live in a state that has a specific code of law. You break the law. You have the choice between two judges: one who will use the law to make sure you reap every consequence that he can enforce using the law, or a judge who you know will try to show you grace at every opportunity - but expect that you will not take advantage of that but instead live according to the law from here on out.
Q#2: I also agree that Scripture does not forbid the celebrating of the feasts (in fact I think it commands it, no, I don't think all mainstream Christians are going to hell for celebrating Christmas and Easter). However, your response seems inconsistent with other times (it is so difficult to type and not speak as you cannot hear my tone, but I am saying all of this respectfully) you have stated things like "we aren't able to follow the Gospel and the Law at the same time" or "In other words, if Christians were to try to keep both the Torah and the law of Christ, we would be committing spiritual adultery!" It seems you vacillate between law keeping as neutral (as long as you don't believe it is the standard for all believers) and it being wrong (spiritual adultery). Colossians 2:16 is a fun verse as it is so ambiguous - it seems you can use it for law keeping (let no one judge you for keeping the law) and law breaking (let no one judge you for not keeping the law). But again, if you read the whole book, Paul describes these opposers: they use philosophy and empty deceit, follow/teach traditions of men, follow the basic principles of this world, were judging the colossian believers, cheating the colossians of their reward, took delight in false humility, worshiped angels, intruded on things they hadn't seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, didn't hold fast to the head(Christ), their regulations were "do not touch, do not taste, do not handle" (commandments and doctrines of men), appearance of wisdom in self imposed religion, false humility, and they neglected their body (which had no value against he indulgence of the flesh). These people were not worshiping God, they were worshiping angels. They were not following God's commandments but the doctrines of men. They were not ok with feasting/celebrating but depriving the body. With that context, verse 16 seems to indicate that the Colossians were being judged for celebrating and feasting and keeping the Holy Days. There is more with that verse however. I enjoy using Blue Letter Bible and if you use the LXX version and type in Colossians 2:16 you'll see that one word was changed from the original greek - from the original greek word και (meaning and) to the greek word ή (meaning or). This change happens here: between food & drink. However, again if you use BLB, food & drink are maybe more accurately translated as "eating and drinking". So you have: Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to eating AND drinking...now comes the more interesting part! The next greek word is ή which can be translated or/either. If you use either here (which some eng-greek lexicons say that a list of ή ...ή ...ή ... the first one would be translated "either" and the rest would be translated "or") it would read thus: Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to eating and drinking either in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. This fits with the context of who the opposers were (angel worshippers who followed doctrines of men who dealth harshly with their physical bodies) and fits the context of feasts and sabbaths were celebrations - lots of good food and drink.
I have a question (it's a simple question, but it does require some foundations be laid down first): If there is no sin apart from the law, and the earlier offspring of Adam who went on to form the kingdom's leading up to Noah's flood were incredibly sinful from our perspective and God's perspective, and given the fact that yes, angelic beings had sex with human women and produced monstrous giant offspring called the Nephilim which corrupted both the genetic makeup of humankind and then went on to corrupt the genetic makeup of the animal kingdom by creating monstrous chimera creations thereby requiring the flood to wipe it all out and reset, why then, simultaneously, was mankind wiped out also because of the violence everywhere and the fact that every inclination of people's hearts was evil continually, given the fact there was no law of Moses that they were under? Because remember, Paul says that apart from the law there is no sin. Those people were apart from the law of Moses which wouldn't be given for a long time. So then why were they judged for transgressing a law that was not made explicit to them given the fact that they were not under a law yet and there is no sin apart from the law? Or alternatively, is the answer simply that though there was violence and though the hearts of humankind were thinking about evil acts continually, was the flood sent simply because the Nephilim had corrupted the earth? Because why would God wipe out the earth for transgressing laws that they've never even been given, considering the fact that apart from the law there is no sin? Because remember, not only were they not under the law, but they had been committing these acts for something like 1,500 years a no flood had been sent.
I came here to learn about this religion and was even willing to listen to your answers. I had to stop after the first question answered... You apparently don't know the Bible as you profess. The scripture you sited in your answer was referring to the laws that required sacrificing of animals and all of the other laws before Christ came. Those laws were placed in the (side) of the Arch of The Covenant and done away with. The Ten Commandments ( was written with God's own HAND in STONE) is INSIDE of the Arch (everlasting) which Jesus kept and lived as an example to us all, that THROUGH HIM and the BLOOD HE shed can overcome sin and be perfect, even as HE is perfect.
Listen to what Jesus tells his disciples ... Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB) Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB) Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness [Heb. midbar], they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Deuteronomy 27:26; Matthew 5:18]; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation [Heb. edah] brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB) Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB)
The bible says sabbath was a sign between Israel and God under the Mosaic covenant. We are under a covenant. The sabbath was only given to ancient Israel under the temporary Mosaic covenant. Context is king.
Jesus Christ is the complete fulfillment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week. 1. Matthew 11:28-30 - Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." - This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labor of trying to Jewish rites and keeping of the Law. If it was possible for man to keep the law perfectly sacrifices were not necessary and Christ did not need to die or establish a new covenant for that matter. 2. Hebrews 4:9-10: - "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works (keeping the law = self-righteousness) as God rested from his work (in continuous sense)" - Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter into a spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. You are resting in salvation and in His redemption and new covenant everyday nonstop! There for Sabbath observance is allowed, and physical rest beneficial, but no longer required unto salvation and right standing with God. 3.Colossians 2:16-17: - "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." - This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfills their true meaning. The law can only chase a man to calvary, and no further. 4. Romans 10:4: - "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." - Christ's coming brings an end to the Law as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws. We are saved by faith and by faith alone, not of our works so that no man can boast in his own ability, that is self-righteous. Good works and good fruit is not unto salvation, but is a result of our salvation, being filled and led by the Holy Spirit, grafted into Jesus Christ. 5. Galatians 3:24-25: - "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian." - The Law, including the Sabbath (sign of covenant with the tribes of Israel), served as a guide until Christ, but now everyone from all nations (pas ethnos) who comes to faith in Christ are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law. These scriptures collectively teach that Jesus fulfills the Sabbath by offering a deeper, spiritual rest and freedom from the works of the Law, inviting believers to rest in His finished work on the cross.
Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week. Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labour of trying to keep and observe the Law. If keeping the law could save us, then animal sacrifices would remain sufficient, and Christ's death and resurrection would be in vain. Hebrews 4:9-10 "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter an eternal spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. Those who did not believe did not enter the promised land. God's rest is also in continues state, and so is our redemption and salvation, which is a continuous state every day. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of purchase, God's stamp of approval and sign of the covenant, replacing physical circumcision or esteeming one day over another. Although rest and circumcision might have physical benefits, keeping them is allowed but no longer required under God's new covenant. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." Ephesians 1:13-14 "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory." 2 Corinthians 5:5 "Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." These passages affirm that the Holy Spirit is given to believers as a guarantee or a deposit, signifying God's promise, ensuring our future inheritance and eternal rest in Christ under the new covenant. Colossians 2:16-17 "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfils their true meaning. Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Christ's death, burial, and resurrection established the end of the Law and the old covenant as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws and establishes a new priesthood under a new covenant of grace and faith called God’s Israel (Galatians 6:15-16). Therefore, the old law remains applicable to anyone outside of the new covenant through Christ Jesus, including the unsaved and those who have no part in the body of Christ! 1 Timothy 1:8-11 "Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted." This passage emphasizes that the law is good when used lawfully, with the purpose to point out our sinful condition, making our sin exceedingly sinful in God’s sight, declaring everyone punishable by God. The Law is meant to guide our behaviour and to convict us of sin, highlighting the need for grace and a redeemer. Galatians 3:24-25 "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian." The Law, including the Sabbath, pointed us to Christ Jesus and the new covenant, but now believers are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law or their own abilities. There is no more place for the old covenant for those who were purchased and brought under the new covenant. John 15:1-5 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." This passage teaches that Christ is the true vine into which believers are grafted, signifying their union with Him and their dependence on Him for spiritual life, fruitfulness, and salvation. Furthermore, the concept of being grafted into Christ, the true vine, underscores the intimate relationship, continues rest and unity believers have with Him, highlighting their complete dependence on Him for spiritual sustenance, growth, righteousness, and eternal rest. Believers in Christ will bear good fruit and good works because they are saved and changed. Christ also keeps us, not the other way around, where we do good works in order to gain favour or keep our salvation. If we could lose our salvation, we would, and God, who loves us, knows this. Therefore, He kept it very simple yet amazing, He is the author and the keeper of our faith.

7:10 The word poorly translated "everlasting" as well as forever and eternal, is the Greek noun "aion." found 62x in the singular and 62x in the plural. It defines either 1 eon or multiple eons. Eons are time-termed with defined beginnings and endings as seen with the adjective aionios in R16:25; Titus 1:2. Eons are represented in the biblical threefold representation of the "heavens and earth." Gn1.2 describes what the heavens and earth of old BECAME before the present eon started new in Gn1:3. The eons are representation as outlined in 2 Peter 3:5-13. 1 Eon = Heavens and earth out of old (the then cosmos) 2P3:5; Gn1.1 1 Eon = Heavens and earth now present 2P3:7; Gn1:3, the same "evil eon" of G1:4. 1 Eon = New Heavens and earth 2P3:13; Isa65:17; 66:22. The failure for most Christians to understand this simple truth has created a plethorah of false doctrines.and confusion. I might add that in the new heavens and earth, we see an underremnant "seed" and "name" celebrating feasts of newals and sabbath celebrations (Isa66:22). It is my understanding that these are those of Matthew 25:41 AFTER the judgment of that prepared for the left-named which in Greek literally means "well-named." hence "and so will stand your SEED and your NAME" Isa66:22. The seed is UNDERremnant Israel of R9:27 where the right hand is heightened to completed the non-handmade temple Mk14:56.

God NEVER told Peter (or anyone) to eat an unclean animal. Lets 👓 read 📖 Acts 10 "9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained ALL KINDS of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” 14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything COMMON or UNCLEAN.” 15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything COMMON that God has made CLEAN.” 16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven." First, all kinds of four footed animals 🦌 🐄 🐑 were on that sheet, including 🐦 birds. So there was a mix of clean and unclean together on the sheet. God instructed Peter to kill and eat, implying he make food. LEVITICUS 11 is clear what types of animals are food, and which are not. Therefore we know that God was telling Peter to "Kill and eat" a clean animal to satisfy his hunger. Second, Peter says he has never eaten anything common or unclean. We know unclean animals are ones not meant to be eaten by man, what are "common" animals? You will not find an explanation for this term in scripture, because it does not come from scripture. Common is a designation of Talmudic Rabbinic Judaism. It refers to any item that is usually acceptable for human use, but has come in contact with an unclean item, thus (according to them) is now tainted and unable to be touched or used by a righteous person on threat of becoming unclean themselves. So Peter seeing clean and unclean animals mixing together, and applying his talmudic teaching sees only Common and Unclean, nothing he can eat. This is why God repremands him. "Do not call common that which I have made clean" God was calling out the entire practice of designating animals, locations and People as common. God describes what is clean and unclean, the doctrine of men was keeping Peter from eating "common" food and preaching to "common" people. This vision was Gods way of removing that false doctrine and pushing Peter to mingle with gentiles who needed to hear truth. ♥️ Peter explains this later in the chapter, "28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean." -Bonus- Acts 10 is recording something that happened months or years after the Life, teaching, death & resurection of Yeshua... So why was Peter still refusing to eat "unclean" animals? He was there during the Mark 7:19 teaching. Therefore Yeshua NEVER declared unclean animals to be food, Otherwise Peter would have no problem digging in to a pork sandwich in Acts 10.
I guess the Jerusalem council forgot to add that to the letter to the Gentiles. Or maybe God, who is perfect, didn't make a huge oopsie by simply not adding it.
Your thoughts fall short. Peter didnt understand many things JESUS was saying until way later. Like how JESUS kept saying to Peter that He had to go to the cross, Peter tried to spot him and JESUS said get behind me Satan. So to say well Peter was there and would of understood exactly what JESUS was saying regarding food falls shirt on many levels. Also later in acts 15:10 Peter says why do you test God by trying to put a yoke upon the gentile disciples that our fathers nor we could bear. This yoke includes many things about the old covenant including food laws. And also Paul had to rebuke Peter for playing a hypocrite and it says hes was living as a gentile until some Jews came around. That would of also implied he was eating with them, gentiles didnt have these food laws so eating some unclean animals would of not been a problem for them or Peter at that time. The vision was both for food and people
Noah knew clean from unclean animals when he loaded the Ark . GOD did not have to repeat to Noah what was clean and unclean because Noah knew . Like Peter with the sheet . He did not eat because he knew what GOD had commanded earlier. Peter wondered on the vision . The sheet was let down three times and Three gentiles came to the door . Peter then knew the meaning of the vision .
@@freedominchrist444 Genesis 7:2 (KJV) Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female. Maybe Noah wasn’t as dumb as people are today , GOD did not have to repeat HIS words or commands .
@@2ndyeardrummer Correct, He did, which is one of the reasons we don't keep Torah under the new covenant. However I'm pointing out that Leviticus is part of the Torah and those that claim it must still be followed can't wiggle out from under keeping the whole thing if that's their claim. I just find it interesting that those who claim we should keep it and claim to keep it themselves try to cope argue out from under the one part that really rubs up against modern sensibility and law.

@@jimharmon2300 Matt 5:17 does say 'fulfill'. The Hebrew מלא means 'fill, full' (Strong's H4390). When Yahshua read Isaiah 61:1 proclaiming the favourable year of Yahweh, he said "today this scripture is fulfilled מלא in your hearing" Luke 4:16 - 21. He fulfilled Isa 42:1 as stated in Matt 12:18 "Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations." Yahshua fulfilling the law doesn't replace Yahweh as our Father, but provides the means by which we can stand before God blameless.
He taught lots of Torah truth, Smurf, but it didn't make up 100% of Messiah's teachings. Jesus also taught some new commandments that weren't in the Torah. For example, the series of "You have heard it said...but I say to you" statements in Matthew 5 are new. And the many times He commands us to "Follow me" don't come from the Torah. And there's also, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matt. 28:19-20) And interestingly, if we were to teach people "all that Jesus have commanded," it would not include the whole Law of Moses. For example, he never commanded anyone to make animal sacrifices for sin, keep the feasts, eat kosher, or even keep the seventh day Sabbath. RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots , Rob YAHshua was defining Fathers Word. Adultery, even looking. Wantingly falls under this Torah Instruction of Adultery. NOTHING NEW HERE. All Messiahs Teachings are 100% Torah. ALL.....

Question 7 is an especially egregious example of what Solberg is consistent about. He claims it is the questions that are not very well thought out..yet his answer is extremely brief and superficial
*Instead of being 'Torah Observant,' what counts is being 'Gospel Observant.'* "Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you that the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." Matthew 21:42-43. "They will level you to the ground- you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.” Luke 19:44. "In speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." Hebrews 8:13. "Greet Rufus, (a Roman Gentile) CHOSEN in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me as well." Romans 16:13. "But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has CHOSEN YOU (Macedonian Gentiles) from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth." 2 Thessalonians 2:13. "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:27-30. "It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink [Traditions, Kabbalah, Talmud] but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone [Torah/Levitical Laws] but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence before God is ours through Christ. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God." 2 Corinthians 3:3-5. [Emphasis added for clarification]
Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB) Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB) Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness [Heb. midbar], they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Deuteronomy 27:26; Matthew 5:18]; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation [Heb. edah] brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB) Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB)

Jesus does not permit the holding of feasts that anticipate the death, burial and resurrection of a Messiah by believers! Jesus does not say to the believer that he can both expect/anticipate and accept His sacrifice!
27:10 The parable of the grain and darnel in Matthew 13 shows that the grain (sons of the regency) = the grass of the field" Mt6.30; L12.28. Jesus said "the field is the world/cosmos" Mt13:38 where Peter states "ALL FLESH is as grass..." 1P1.24. The context of the segregating grain from darnel points to Matthew 25:32 where we have to pay attention. Here we also read BOTH those of the nations are being segregated "JUST AS the herdsman segregate the sheep (Israel) from the kids.." Sheep is a figure specific to Israel Mt10:6; 15:24. The herdsman are those of the courtyard of John 10:1 to herd the other sheep of verse 16 when at the same term the nations are also being lead into the finishing of the right hand. The point being is that even the parable of Matthew 13 and 25 show that Jesus was not limiting the context to only Israelites but the grass of the field including ALL flesh 🙏
Many unbelievers (Hebrews 3) do not care about Jesus giving them rest through believing the gospel (Hebrews 4) in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8). They only care about keeping Old Commandments in the Old Covenant of Judaism. Luke 5:39 "And no one, after drinking old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’” (NASB)
@@pierreferguson1300 Sorry, I'm not tracking with what you are saying. Jesus only taught from the Tanakh (Old Testament). There wasn't anything else to teach from. So, I don't know why you would say that unbelievers only care about keeping the commandments that Jesus was teaching. That doesn't make any sense.
@@t.scottmajor1316 Where is Matthew 5:44 and John 13:34 in the Law given through Moses? It's not Matthew 5:43 and Matthew 22:39 which quote Leviticus 19:18 based on Hebrews 7:11. Have a good one in Old Testament Judaism, drinking old wine.

During the liturgy in the Anglican church the priest breaks rhe break and states "Hallelujah, Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us" and we respond "therefore let us keep the feast, Hallelujah"

I used to be HRM but i have discovered that the historical church follows and reads more of the Bible than HRM.
The answer to 10:53 where the young man asks: "Why did Peter still not eat anything unclean even though Jesus said all foods are clean?" is that Jesus did not declare all foods clean. Eating meat sacrificed to idols is still unclean. Eating rats and swine flesh is still physically, health-wise, unclean. He was talking about spiritual uncleanness. And the scope of what he was discussing was limited to a certain context. Why do I say it was limited? Because he declares later in Revelation that eating meat sacrificed to idols is sin.
So does eating swine flesh and rats make you spiritually unclean according to Jesus? No. Does it make you unhealthy and your body physically unclean? Yes. Were those laws given for more reasons than just separating the Israelites from the nations that surrounded them? Were those health laws given out of concern for the health of the people he was guiding? Yes. Do those health laws support our health in this modern age even as Gentile Christians? Yes.
So there is a difference between spiritual uncleanness with regard to food and physical uncleanness with regard to food.
The bottom line is: if you want optimal health, follow the dietary laws. And if you wish to not sin with regard to food, do not be gluttonous and do not eat meat sacrificed to idols or consume blood or meat with blood in it (the red juice that comes out of red meat is not blood, by the way.

I believe the heart of the issue is actually the all or nothing view when it comes to justification. Those who reject justification by faith alone will condemn themselves one way or another. They all cherry pick from the Law, but even if they don't, they condemn themselves all the more, because it's so much easier to realize you're breaking the Law if you take it all as a pacakge, than if you cherry pick from it.
Hi Rob, l have gone over the videos of your critics, and l have to say, you are SO correct over everything you have raised.
It is too simplistic for those who feel comforted by keeping laws or doing sacrifices.
And your latest take on Torah Observant folks, who have returned unto the beggarly elements.
The Christian Church is off the rails for they have not the law written on their hearts. The Law of Liberty has exposed the tares, but shown that those who are led by the Spirit are fully born again.
God is way to smart, for he is indeed not outsmarted by those who should again tangle us in Pharisaical laws. The law is perfect, converting the soul. Those who would lean in against the bosom of Jesus knowing he has fulfilled all debt upon the cross, and his blood has atoned for sin once and for all. Love you Rob

Romans 14:5, Someone considers a day above another and is justified if observed with the Lord in mind. Spoken to the Romans, where I think the feast of Saturnalia originated. Could that day be any better than the Wiccan? Yet it is now Christmas. So I think the passage allows observing any day, and apparently the early church agreed, so long as you understand that it is to the Lord.
I find it interesting that every one of these questions are delivered as if they are "zingers," and yet everyone is easily answered if you truly study the Word of God.
By the way I really appreciate and enjoy your content I just wonder sometimes. Do you believe the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy?
God only made a covenant with the nation of Isreal. He never made a any covenant with any Gentiles. The New Testament was fulfilled by His obedience by the death on the cross. We enter into this covenant by faith in His blood. So Jesus filled the requirement with the Father by His sacrifice obtaining the forgiveness of sin. It is our faith in His blood that we are now declared righteous. It is not our responsibility to live the Christian life it is our response to His ability. It is not a law relationship but life relationship. Paul said I pray that you would know my mystery in Christ. Crist in you the hope of glory.
The Bible includes 8 Covenants: Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Land, Davidic, and New. The first three were made with all nations to come, i.e. Gentiles, as they were made before Israel existed. It could even be argued that the Abrahamic Covenant was made with a Gentile, as the nation of Israel (Jacob's descendants) came two generations later. Thus, it is inaccurate to say God never made any covenant with Gentiles.
All the above (re: dancingzollins) plus:
Testament MEANS Covenant.
Old Testament = Old Covenant.
New Testament = New Covenant.
Marriage is also a covenant.
God considered Himself in a marriage covenant with faithless Israel who cheated on Him, i.e. they broke the marriage covenant, forcing Him to divorce.

Gal 3 can really solve a lot of these back and forth arguments. It is very important when Paul mentions the word Law to ask yourself and understand from the context what laws, or what part of the Law he is referring to. In Gal 3 he explains that a covenant, once ratified, no one adds to it. Why then the Law - it was added because of transgressions he says. This is the nugget, the sentence that makes a distinction in the Law, in other words there was law that was being transgressed, and then there was Law that was added because of the transgressions. If we examine Exo 24 carefully, the book of the covenant is read , the people (mixed multitude) all agree to all God's instructions and then there is blood ratification and the covenant confirming meal - the covenant is now ratified!
Straight after this God calls Moses back up the mountain, and now Moses gets the Law and commandments to "teach them" (schoolmaster). This is where the Law of the Tabernacle, Earthly high priest and associated reconcilliatory ministry is given , which includes all the sacrifices, offerings etc. God himself makes this same distinction when He says "obedience is better than sacrifice". Again He says "sacrifice and offering I DID NOT require, but a contrite heart". This is the Law that was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, and now that Christ has arrived and completed His first visitation and ministry, we are no longer under the schoolmaster. If we long to stay under that system, and rely on that system for forgiveness of sin, then we are rejecting the grace that was offered through Christ.
A mistake is being made on both sides of the argument by seeing the word Law and assuming it always refers to everything in the first 5 books. So just like in secular law, there is the obligatory part of the law, and then there is the penal code. The penal code has no effect or power over us if we keep the obligatory part of the Law. If we examine the covenant - the instructions for feasts and Sabbaths were part of the covenant, given before the blood ratification in Exo 24. Noah even knew the distinction between clean and unclean animals. As for using Col 2:16,17 as proof against feast keeping, it is based on an assumption that the people in Colossae were not observing those things, and that assumption comes because of repeated sayings and teachings that circulate through the mainstream church, like oh those Jewish feasts, we Christians don't keep those Jewish feasts, we have our own holy days etc. Once this is a foundational thought and belief, it is easy to read into Paul's writings what we already believe. I will put it out there that the new believers in Colossae were observing Sabbath, feasts etc, and they were being judged by religious Jews who had added hundreds of additional do's and don'ts to these events. Compare this with the time when Jesus and His disciples were also judged according to traditions of men for breaking Sabbath because they crushed grain in their hands, and not washing hands properly according to the 👉traditions of men👈before eating bread. Verse 16 of Col 2, contains the word therefore, indicating we have to gain gain context from the surrounding text. Straight away we see Paul is speaking against "traditions of men" before and after verse 16.
👏🏻 you are very thorough as always.
I wanted to add that i believe that Jesus did fulfill all law, but the fall feasts are not yet fulfilled ✝️🙏🏼💟
Glad someone is debunking this anti-Christ teaching
HR followers conveniently point to Scripture and take a specific passage at face value (e.g. "See! Jesus and the Apostles kept the Sabbath!") when it suits their narrative but when a verse seems to go against their narrative (e.g. "Don't let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink or regarding new moon or sabbaths) they say "Oh no, that's not what that verse is saying!" and they come up with all these mental gymnastics to jam their own meaning into a verse. I find this tactic very effective because it doesn't require the listener to think and analyze: Jesus kept kosher laws > We are to be like Jesus > Therefore we are to keep kosher. It's a very simplistic approach and at face value makes sense that's why people get sucked into it.
Hey why do you have a skull and a globe in the setting of your background?
Also, was Jesus a Jew or a Yahudim?
Jesus lived and kept the Law perfectly for us because we could not keep the Law.
Some people just won't listen. The pharisees made extra laws to be holy and broke others said Jesus.
Good effort answering these "questions." And I use quotations because oftentimes HR folks put forth loaded or rhetorical questions much like "have you stopped beating your wife?" to get you to admit that you're somehow "anti-law." They know for a fact that no genuine and sincere Christian is opposed to following the Lord's commandments. In fact that's what affirms whether you are a genuine follower of Christ and are being sanctified by the Spirit. The problem is they conflate moral laws and civil laws and ceremonial laws. Moral laws are eternal; ceremonial/civil laws aren't.
Is it required of a believer to not steal from their neighbor?
I see you're doing what my dad likes to do. "For all the law is fulfilled even in this saying: ye shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Jesus is the Lord of the sabbath. Jesus is our sabbath rest. This appears to be biblical to me.
Do you still eat bread and drink water? Because Jesus the bread of life and the living water.

If your not in Christ your bound by the law therefore the law is still in effect for the unbelievers..
If you say that God made a covenant with a believer, that means we responsibe in some way to obtain some rightousness of our own as an acceptance with God. This is not our standing. God put the believer in His Son and then we are made the Righteous of God in Him. Its called entering into His rest.
The Way so misrepresents biblical Christianity. I have the dvd and I have seen what they post on church doors on reformation day. I read part of their book and honestly the author has little knowledge of basic Christianity, basic principals of heremenutics. He claims his book is apologetic book for the doctrines of the torah movement. Very poor arguments. I do not think he has any understanding of true apologetics at all. If I was still part of the torah movement I would be embarrased by his book (that I could not even finish) that claims to be an apologetic for the torah movement.
"...they derogatorily refer to the church as "churchianity"..."
So I'm sure in your view that term you coined "Torahism " is not meant derogatorily?
Exactly. Professor Solberg would have you believe he is tolerant and has no qualms with keeping the Torah, feast days, and Sabbath. But his tone and language indicate otherwise
Is it permissible for a believer to anticipate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus though it has already taken place ?
The gospel gives second chance at the innicials because it first says repent. While the Torah don't
Personally, I think there is a gaping and blatant logical fallacy within Christianity and ESPECIALLY Torah. I have never heard anyone address it. It is as follows: Contractually, YHWH was bound to bless anyone who obeyed all the commandments. How then, is Jesus cursed? Does the cursing of a perfect practitioner of torah nullify the terms of the contract? And if Jesus, being perfectly observant, was cursed, what makes us think we could be blessed by our (admittedly imperfect) observance?
The comment you made about Peter eating with the gentiles did not prove that he was eating anything unclean. Didn’t Jesus eat with the gentiles? . That wasn’t a very good example. We are approaching a time when we will rule and reign with Christ and his Kingdoms instructions look much like they did from the very beginning. It seems like learning about and being trained for these things that we clearly will be keeping, Isaiah 66:23 and Zechariah 14 would help in that process don’t you? How long do you think we should keep pushing back, or think it is permitted but not required? I might have spoken prematurely, as you may not even believe these scriptures to be referring to the time when we rule and reign with Christ. I am sincerely wanting to walk on this earth and be a good ambassador for our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that just as the reformation lead back to a closer understanding of what it meant to be a God fearer, so has this awakening. If we understand also that many of these beliefs that we are now understanding to be truth, were banned about 300 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, it becomes even more clear that as Jesus is about to return, we should rethink and be very diligent with God’s Word. He is coming back for the people who are found with the testimony of Jesus and keep his commandments. Oh! Happy Day! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!!!!
Is it permissible for a believer to not murder their brother?

I had bought the download version of the documentary as soon as it was released and watched it right away, however, when I watched it months later at a gathering, it did not notice that segment. I believe they edited it out when it came out on DVD.

@TheBiblicalRoots Regarding #4-"Everlasting Law", Mat 5:17-18 says the law will not pass away "...until it is fulfilled". Also, a fulfilled contract can still be everlasting: 1) it exists as Active while it is being executed and 2) it exists as Inactive when all terms have been fulfilled. For example, my past mortgage contracts still exist as a matter of record but since i've paid off the balance (fulfilled it) i am NOT continuing to make those mortgage payment, that would be silly, the bank would send my payments back with a reminder that that contract has been fulfilled.
So is it the same way you would fulfill your dreams

Your contradicting yourself. Your saying that it is both permissible and a blatant declaration of not trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus to observe the shadow of Colossians 2. The reason the sabbath of Colossians 2 is a shadow is because it contained sacrifices that represented the sacrifice of Jesus.
Very informative as always. The Presuppositions of the Hebrew roots is flaw.
Gal 4:9,10 But now that you’ve come to know God (or rather, now that God has come to know you), why are you turning back to those weak and sorry [Jewish] rules… Why do you want to become slaves to them once again?10For you’ve [gone back to] the observance of days, months, seasons, and years…
You don't get it. All we've done is opened our Bibles, and read it. It's something we're told to do every Sunday in church, and pastors seem to be freaking out.
We see the laws given to Moses are every day laws to live by. For example, "pay your workers right away", "don't strike your parents", "don't take advantage of widows", "don't have sex with animals", etc.. If you say the law has been done away with, then you're saying, Christians don't have to pay their workers, can strike their parents, can take advantage of widows, can sleep with animals, etc., thanks to Jesus?
Again, you don't get it.
Hi, BW! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us.
The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). And “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18).
Blessings,
Rob
@TheBiblicalRoots no one in Hebrew Roots thinks we need to sacrifice animals. Again, all we've done is opened the Bible, read it, noticed there's 613 laws God wants us to live by. They're simple every day laws to live a peaceful and healthy life.
Pastors should be teaching on these laws, instead of every sermon being, "God loves you, and wants the best for you. Now give me 10% of your income, and God will bess you"
I went to church for 40 years, and never once heard a sermon on God's laws. Instead I was made to believe they're bad.
The Bible says "Sin is the transgression of the law." What Law?
The Law of God. Sin is disobeying whatever commands God has given to you.

I'm not understanding. It seems hypocritical because Christianity is somewhat doing the same thing, in regards to the optionality. They just used the word torahism, legalism and heresy.
I see the law as at least two parts, the commandments and the curses. Jesus removed the curse of the law by his sacrifice, leaving the commandments, which if they would have had the faith of Abraham, they would have kept.
Sometimes when Paul mentions the law I believe that he is referring to the commandments, the law is spiritual. Other times he is obviously referring to the curse of the law.
The old covenant was the law of sin and death.(the law of breaking the commandment, and receiving the curse). The new covenant is the law of sin and forgiveness. (the law of breaking the commandment, and not receiving the curse, but forgiveness).
So I agree that the commandments are not required for salvation, but I do believe that it is still his will that we keep them.
This is an example of how I understand it.
He gives us instructions, because we love and trust him we endeavor to follow his instructions. But when we mess up, he'll forgive us, we're no longer under the curse of the law. On the other hand if we refuse to follow his instructions, we're non of his because we have no faith.
Just the way I see it.
Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week.
Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labour of trying to keep and observe the Law. If keeping the law could save us, then animal sacrifices would remain sufficient, and Christ's death and resurrection would be in vain.
Hebrews 4:9-10
"So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his."
Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter an eternal spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. Those who did not believe did not enter the promised land. God's rest is also in continues state, and so is our redemption and salvation, which is a continuous state every day. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of purchase, God's stamp of approval and sign of the covenant, replacing physical circumcision or esteeming one day over another. Although rest and circumcision might have physical benefits, keeping them is allowed but no longer required under God's new covenant.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
Ephesians 1:13-14
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory."
2 Corinthians 5:5
"Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
These passages affirm that the Holy Spirit is given to believers as a guarantee or a deposit, signifying God's promise, ensuring our future inheritance and eternal rest in Christ under the new covenant.
Colossians 2:16-17
"Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ."
This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfils their true meaning.
Romans 10:4
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Christ's death, burial, and resurrection established the end of the Law and the old covenant as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws and establishes a new priesthood under a new covenant of grace and faith called God’s Israel (Galatians 6:15-16). Therefore, the old law remains applicable to anyone outside of the new covenant through Christ Jesus, including the unsaved and those who have no part in the body of Christ!
1 Timothy 1:8-11
"Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted."
This passage emphasizes that the law is good when used lawfully, with the purpose to point out our sinful condition, making our sin exceedingly sinful in God’s sight, declaring everyone punishable by God. The Law is meant to guide our behaviour and to convict us of sin, highlighting the need for grace and a redeemer.
Galatians 3:24-25
"So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian."
The Law, including the Sabbath, pointed us to Christ Jesus and the new covenant, but now believers are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law or their own abilities. There is no more place for the old covenant for those who were purchased and brought under the new covenant.
John 15:1-5
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
This passage teaches that Christ is the true vine into which believers are grafted, signifying their union with Him and their dependence on Him for spiritual life, fruitfulness, and salvation. Furthermore, the concept of being grafted into Christ, the true vine, underscores the intimate relationship, continues rest and unity believers have with Him, highlighting their complete dependence on Him for spiritual sustenance, growth, righteousness, and eternal rest. Believers in Christ will bear good fruit and good works because they are saved and changed. Christ also keeps us, not the other way around, where we do good works in order to gain favour or keep our salvation. If we could lose our salvation, we would, and God, who loves us, knows this. Therefore, He kept it very simple yet amazing, He is the author and the keeper of our faith.
To rest, to be circumcised, and to worship God on a specific day might be beneficial since the Sabbath was made for man unto a sign of promise. However, these things are no longer required under the new covenant where Christ Jesus is our high priest, the manifested promise, and the Holy Spirit is our sign of covenant.
We are saved by our faith, through grace; it is the gift from God, not of our works, so that no man can boast in his own ability or his own doing. Our best efforts are as filthy rags before our Holy and Just God. Attempting to bribe God with our works of self-righteousness is not scriptural, and our God is not bribed by men.
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
If Jesus is our sabbath why does He tell us to pray our flight is not on Sabbath, during the great tribulation??
Matthew 24:20 “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
Matthew 24:21 “For then there shall be great distress, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

Most likely it is indicating 2 of the context clues of prophecy about Jesus - #1 born of a woman and #2 born under the law/He is a Hebrew. It doesn't somehow mean "Jesus was born under the law and now no believers are born under the Law"
Romans is a beautiful letter that after reading it for the past few weeks really seems to be leaning more towards keeping the Law. Many verses in Romans, when taken in isolation, can be skewed to either side. Romans 7:14, Romans 7:16, Romans 7:22 all seem to support a Law abiding life and equating the Law with righteousness and holiness. So I think we can agree that the book of Romans should probably be taken as a whole. When you look at it as a whole, Paul seems to be saying that sin took an opportunity when the Law came and was able to work more sin in a human life - kind of like if someone tells you not to think of a pink elephant, it's going to be near impossible to not think of a pink elephant. But I bet you were not thinking about that pink elephant until someone told you not to, it wasn't even really a temptation. He seems to be talking about how because we are unable to keep the law perfectly we are under the law's penalty - which is to suffer the second death (everyone, even perfect Jesus, suffers the first, only a righteous person can escape the second death...ehem only Jesus and God gave Jesus the authority to resurrect those who are His). But now that we are under grace!!!! (the definition of grace is, according to merriam webster: unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification) we are no longer under the law. The opposite of grace is not law. The opposite of grace is getting what we deserve which is the second death. The context here is allowing us to see that Paul is saying we are no longer under the penalty of the law, death, we are under grace, life. He even continues to constantly uphold the Law in Romans - just because you no longer have to suffer the second death, don't take that generosity and then heap up more sin! Romans states the Law is righteous and holy and good AND spiritual but that our sinful bodies are carnal and unclean. I think of what Paul is saying as this: You live in a state that has a specific code of law. You break the law. You have the choice between two judges: one who will use the law to make sure you reap every consequence that he can enforce using the law, or a judge who you know will try to show you grace at every opportunity - but expect that you will not take advantage of that but instead live according to the law from here on out.
Q#2: I also agree that Scripture does not forbid the celebrating of the feasts (in fact I think it commands it, no, I don't think all mainstream Christians are going to hell for celebrating Christmas and Easter). However, your response seems inconsistent with other times (it is so difficult to type and not speak as you cannot hear my tone, but I am saying all of this respectfully) you have stated things like "we aren't able to follow the Gospel and the Law at the same time" or "In other words, if Christians were to try to keep both the Torah and the law of Christ, we would be committing spiritual adultery!" It seems you vacillate between law keeping as neutral (as long as you don't believe it is the standard for all believers) and it being wrong (spiritual adultery).
Colossians 2:16 is a fun verse as it is so ambiguous - it seems you can use it for law keeping (let no one judge you for keeping the law) and law breaking (let no one judge you for not keeping the law). But again, if you read the whole book, Paul describes these opposers: they use philosophy and empty deceit, follow/teach traditions of men, follow the basic principles of this world, were judging the colossian believers, cheating the colossians of their reward, took delight in false humility, worshiped angels, intruded on things they hadn't seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, didn't hold fast to the head(Christ), their regulations were "do not touch, do not taste, do not handle" (commandments and doctrines of men), appearance of wisdom in self imposed religion, false humility, and they neglected their body (which had no value against he indulgence of the flesh). These people were not worshiping God, they were worshiping angels. They were not following God's commandments but the doctrines of men. They were not ok with feasting/celebrating but depriving the body. With that context, verse 16 seems to indicate that the Colossians were being judged for celebrating and feasting and keeping the Holy Days.
There is more with that verse however. I enjoy using Blue Letter Bible and if you use the LXX version and type in Colossians 2:16 you'll see that one word was changed from the original greek - from the original greek word και (meaning and) to the greek word ή (meaning or). This change happens here: between food & drink. However, again if you use BLB, food & drink are maybe more accurately translated as "eating and drinking". So you have: Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to eating AND drinking...now comes the more interesting part! The next greek word is ή which can be translated or/either. If you use either here (which some eng-greek lexicons say that a list of ή ...ή ...ή ... the first one would be translated "either" and the rest would be translated "or") it would read thus: Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to eating and drinking either in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. This fits with the context of who the opposers were (angel worshippers who followed doctrines of men who dealth harshly with their physical bodies) and fits the context of feasts and sabbaths were celebrations - lots of good food and drink.
Paul actually spent a total of 17 YEARS away from Jerusalem!
I have a question (it's a simple question, but it does require some foundations be laid down first):
If there is no sin apart from the law, and the earlier offspring of Adam who went on to form the kingdom's leading up to Noah's flood were incredibly sinful from our perspective and God's perspective, and given the fact that yes, angelic beings had sex with human women and produced monstrous giant offspring called the Nephilim which corrupted both the genetic makeup of humankind and then went on to corrupt the genetic makeup of the animal kingdom by creating monstrous chimera creations thereby requiring the flood to wipe it all out and reset, why then, simultaneously, was mankind wiped out also because of the violence everywhere and the fact that every inclination of people's hearts was evil continually, given the fact there was no law of Moses that they were under?
Because remember, Paul says that apart from the law there is no sin. Those people were apart from the law of Moses which wouldn't be given for a long time. So then why were they judged for transgressing a law that was not made explicit to them given the fact that they were not under a law yet and there is no sin apart from the law?
Or alternatively, is the answer simply that though there was violence and though the hearts of humankind were thinking about evil acts continually, was the flood sent simply because the Nephilim had corrupted the earth? Because why would God wipe out the earth for transgressing laws that they've never even been given, considering the fact that apart from the law there is no sin? Because remember, not only were they not under the law, but they had been committing these acts for something like 1,500 years a no flood had been sent.
Do these guys care more about the 10 Commandments or 10 Contradictions? Lol! Keep up the good work, sir!
I came here to learn about this religion and was even willing to listen to your answers. I had to stop after the first question answered... You apparently don't know the Bible as you profess. The scripture you sited in your answer was referring to the laws that required sacrificing of animals and all of the other laws before Christ came. Those laws were placed in the (side) of the Arch of The Covenant and done away with. The Ten Commandments ( was written with God's own HAND in STONE) is INSIDE of the Arch (everlasting) which Jesus kept and lived as an example to us all, that THROUGH HIM and the BLOOD HE shed can overcome sin and be perfect, even as HE is perfect.
Thank you for another great podcast. BTW the new testament repeats 9 of the 10 commandments. The one about keeping the sabbath seems to be missing!!!😮
Listen to what Jesus tells his disciples ...
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB)
Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB)
Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness [Heb. midbar], they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Deuteronomy 27:26; Matthew 5:18]; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation [Heb. edah] brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB)
Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB)
Where does the Bible you can have any day as Sabbath?
The bible says sabbath was a sign between Israel and God under the Mosaic covenant. We are under a covenant. The sabbath was only given to ancient Israel under the temporary Mosaic covenant. Context is king.
Jesus Christ is the complete fulfillment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week.
1. Matthew 11:28-30
- Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
- This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labor of trying to Jewish rites and keeping of the Law. If it was possible for man to keep the law perfectly sacrifices were not necessary and Christ did not need to die or establish a new covenant for that matter.
2. Hebrews 4:9-10:
- "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works (keeping the law = self-righteousness) as God rested from his work (in continuous sense)"
- Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter into a spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. You are resting in salvation and in His redemption and new covenant everyday nonstop! There for Sabbath observance is allowed, and physical rest beneficial, but no longer required unto salvation and right standing with God.
3.Colossians 2:16-17:
- "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ."
- This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfills their true meaning. The law can only chase a man to calvary, and no further.
4. Romans 10:4:
- "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
- Christ's coming brings an end to the Law as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws. We are saved by faith and by faith alone, not of our works so that no man can boast in his own ability, that is self-righteous. Good works and good fruit is not unto salvation, but is a result of our salvation, being filled and led by the Holy Spirit, grafted into Jesus Christ.
5. Galatians 3:24-25:
- "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian."
- The Law, including the Sabbath (sign of covenant with the tribes of Israel), served as a guide until Christ, but now everyone from all nations (pas ethnos) who comes to faith in Christ are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law.
These scriptures collectively teach that Jesus fulfills the Sabbath by offering a deeper, spiritual rest and freedom from the works of the Law, inviting believers to rest in His finished work on the cross.
Hebrews 4 says "Today" is the Sabbath rest for those who enter in. Every day is "today."
Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week.
Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
This passage highlights the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, implying a rest from the labour of trying to keep and observe the Law. If keeping the law could save us, then animal sacrifices would remain sufficient, and Christ's death and resurrection would be in vain.
Hebrews 4:9-10
"So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his."
Here, the author of Hebrews explains that believers enter an eternal spiritual rest through faith in Jesus, paralleling God’s rest after creation. Those who did not believe did not enter the promised land. God's rest is also in continues state, and so is our redemption and salvation, which is a continuous state every day. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee of purchase, God's stamp of approval and sign of the covenant, replacing physical circumcision or esteeming one day over another. Although rest and circumcision might have physical benefits, keeping them is allowed but no longer required under God's new covenant.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
Ephesians 1:13-14
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory."
2 Corinthians 5:5
"Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
These passages affirm that the Holy Spirit is given to believers as a guarantee or a deposit, signifying God's promise, ensuring our future inheritance and eternal rest in Christ under the new covenant.
Colossians 2:16-17
"Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ."
This passage teaches that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were a shadow pointing to Christ, who fulfils their true meaning.
Romans 10:4
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Christ's death, burial, and resurrection established the end of the Law and the old covenant as a means of attaining righteousness, which includes the Sabbath laws and establishes a new priesthood under a new covenant of grace and faith called God’s Israel (Galatians 6:15-16). Therefore, the old law remains applicable to anyone outside of the new covenant through Christ Jesus, including the unsaved and those who have no part in the body of Christ!
1 Timothy 1:8-11
"Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted."
This passage emphasizes that the law is good when used lawfully, with the purpose to point out our sinful condition, making our sin exceedingly sinful in God’s sight, declaring everyone punishable by God. The Law is meant to guide our behaviour and to convict us of sin, highlighting the need for grace and a redeemer.
Galatians 3:24-25
"So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian."
The Law, including the Sabbath, pointed us to Christ Jesus and the new covenant, but now believers are justified by faith and not by the works of the Law or their own abilities. There is no more place for the old covenant for those who were purchased and brought under the new covenant.
John 15:1-5
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
This passage teaches that Christ is the true vine into which believers are grafted, signifying their union with Him and their dependence on Him for spiritual life, fruitfulness, and salvation. Furthermore, the concept of being grafted into Christ, the true vine, underscores the intimate relationship, continues rest and unity believers have with Him, highlighting their complete dependence on Him for spiritual sustenance, growth, righteousness, and eternal rest. Believers in Christ will bear good fruit and good works because they are saved and changed. Christ also keeps us, not the other way around, where we do good works in order to gain favour or keep our salvation. If we could lose our salvation, we would, and God, who loves us, knows this. Therefore, He kept it very simple yet amazing, He is the author and the keeper of our faith.
To rest, to be circumcised, and to worship God on a specific day might be beneficial since the Sabbath was made for man unto a sign of promise. However, these things are no longer required under the new covenant where Christ Jesus is our high priest, the manifested promise, and the Holy Spirit is our sign of covenant.
We are saved by our faith, through grace; it is the gift from God, not of our works, so that no man can boast in his own ability or his own doing. Our best efforts are as filthy rags before our Holy and Just God. Attempting to bribe God with our works of self-righteousness is not scriptural, and our God is not bribed by men.
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Sabbath, offering a spiritual rest that transcends the physical observance of one day a week.
Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

7:10 The word poorly translated "everlasting" as well as forever and eternal, is the Greek noun "aion." found 62x in the singular and 62x in the plural. It defines either 1 eon or multiple eons. Eons are time-termed with defined beginnings and endings as seen with the adjective aionios in R16:25; Titus 1:2. Eons are represented in the biblical threefold representation of the "heavens and earth." Gn1.2 describes what the heavens and earth of old BECAME before the present eon started new in Gn1:3. The eons are representation as outlined in 2 Peter 3:5-13.
1 Eon = Heavens and earth out of old (the then cosmos) 2P3:5; Gn1.1
1 Eon = Heavens and earth now present 2P3:7; Gn1:3, the same "evil eon" of G1:4.

There is a temple - there is not holy of holies
God NEVER told Peter (or anyone) to eat an unclean animal. Lets 👓 read 📖
Acts 10
"9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained ALL KINDS of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything COMMON or UNCLEAN.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything COMMON that God has made CLEAN.”
16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven."
First, all kinds of four footed animals 🦌 🐄 🐑 were on that sheet, including 🐦 birds.
So there was a mix of clean and unclean together on the sheet.
God instructed Peter to kill and eat, implying he make food. LEVITICUS 11 is clear what types of animals are food, and which are not.
Therefore we know that God was telling Peter to "Kill and eat" a clean animal to satisfy his hunger.
Second, Peter says he has never eaten anything common or unclean. We know unclean animals are ones not meant to be eaten by man, what are "common" animals? You will not find an explanation for this term in scripture, because it does not come from scripture.
Common is a designation of Talmudic Rabbinic Judaism.
It refers to any item that is usually acceptable for human use, but has come in contact with an unclean item, thus (according to them) is now tainted and unable to be touched or used by a righteous person on threat of becoming unclean themselves.
So Peter seeing clean and unclean animals mixing together, and applying his talmudic teaching sees only Common and Unclean, nothing he can eat.
This is why God repremands him.
"Do not call common that which I have made clean"
God was calling out the entire practice of designating animals, locations and People as common. God describes what is clean and unclean, the doctrine of men was keeping Peter from eating "common" food and preaching to "common" people.
This vision was Gods way of removing that false doctrine and pushing Peter to mingle with gentiles who needed to hear truth. ♥️
Peter explains this later in the chapter,
"28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean."
-Bonus-
Acts 10 is recording something that happened months or years after the Life, teaching, death & resurection of Yeshua...
So why was Peter still refusing to eat "unclean" animals?
He was there during the Mark 7:19 teaching.
Therefore Yeshua NEVER declared unclean animals to be food, Otherwise Peter would have no problem digging in to a pork sandwich in Acts 10.
I guess the Jerusalem council forgot to add that to the letter to the Gentiles. Or maybe God, who is perfect, didn't make a huge oopsie by simply not adding it.
@Th3Pr0digalS0n - Exactly!
Your thoughts fall short. Peter didnt understand many things JESUS was saying until way later. Like how JESUS kept saying to Peter that He had to go to the cross, Peter tried to spot him and JESUS said get behind me Satan. So to say well Peter was there and would of understood exactly what JESUS was saying regarding food falls shirt on many levels. Also later in acts 15:10 Peter says why do you test God by trying to put a yoke upon the gentile disciples that our fathers nor we could bear. This yoke includes many things about the old covenant including food laws. And also Paul had to rebuke Peter for playing a hypocrite and it says hes was living as a gentile until some Jews came around. That would of also implied he was eating with them, gentiles didnt have these food laws so eating some unclean animals would of not been a problem for them or Peter at that time. The vision was both for food and people
@@arditienthusiast8384I would rethink my answer, what the Jerusalem council put in the letter to the Gentiles came straight from the law.
@@Wisdoms_Inheritance Cope argument. They made specific commands and specifically decided to not place food laws in there.
Amen
Luke 6-46.
The Law is a total 613 commandments.
They won't be able to to fulfil it all even if they tried.
Noah knew clean from unclean animals when he loaded the Ark .
GOD did not have to repeat to Noah what was clean and unclean because Noah knew .
Like Peter with the sheet .
He did not eat because he knew what GOD had commanded earlier.
Peter wondered on the vision .
The sheet was let down three times and
Three gentiles came to the door .
Peter then knew the meaning of the vision .
Noah was also told in Gen 9 he could eat any animal(the part torah folk skip and ignore)
And in the Hebrew it means any/all animals
@@freedominchrist444
Genesis 7:2 (KJV) Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
Maybe Noah wasn’t as dumb as people are today , GOD did not have to repeat HIS words or commands .
Dietary laws is not an universal law given to all nations and for all people groups for all times.
@@joshuamelton9148
Agree
But it is the law of the sons of GOD .
Wither you are a natural born or adopted.
If you are a Torah keeper who doesn't sacrifice bulls and goats you're a hypocrite. No argument.
lol
Kinda like Daniel and the rest of the exiles?
Israel was in exile because of their disobedience. Its the blessings and curaes part of the Suzerain Treaty coming to play@@t.scottmajor1316
How so? God has provided us with a sacrifice that is sufficient for the atonement of all sin covered in the blood of Christ.
@@2ndyeardrummer Correct, He did, which is one of the reasons we don't keep Torah under the new covenant. However I'm pointing out that Leviticus is part of the Torah and those that claim it must still be followed can't wiggle out from under keeping the whole thing if that's their claim. I just find it interesting that those who claim we should keep it and claim to keep it themselves try to cope argue out from under the one part that really rubs up against modern sensibility and law.
Jesus took away nor added to any laws .
Matthew 5:18 (KJV)
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
His teachings were from the old scriptures not misunderstanding of Paul’s writings.
If your teachings does not agree with the words of the Prophets you are not following Jesus nor The FATHER.

@@jimharmon2300 Matt 5:17 does say 'fulfill'. The Hebrew מלא means 'fill, full' (Strong's H4390).
When Yahshua read Isaiah 61:1 proclaiming the favourable year of Yahweh, he said "today this scripture is fulfilled מלא in your hearing" Luke 4:16 - 21.
He fulfilled Isa 42:1 as stated in Matt 12:18 "Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations."
Yahshua fulfilling the law doesn't replace Yahweh as our Father, but provides the means by which we can stand before God blameless.
You don’t know Thy Father if you Don’t HEART Torah, And that’s 100% of Messiahs Teachings!
He taught lots of Torah truth, Smurf, but it didn't make up 100% of Messiah's teachings. Jesus also taught some new commandments that weren't in the Torah. For example, the series of "You have heard it said...but I say to you" statements in Matthew 5 are new. And the many times He commands us to "Follow me" don't come from the Torah. And there's also, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matt. 28:19-20)
And interestingly, if we were to teach people "all that Jesus have commanded," it would not include the whole Law of Moses. For example, he never commanded anyone to make animal sacrifices for sin, keep the feasts, eat kosher, or even keep the seventh day Sabbath.
RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots , Rob YAHshua was defining Fathers Word. Adultery, even looking. Wantingly falls under this Torah Instruction of Adultery. NOTHING NEW HERE.
All Messiahs Teachings are 100% Torah. ALL.....
@TheBiblicalRoots interestingly. Why would HE Messiah have to reword all of Torah, He would Just send you to The Senegag on the sabbath To learn for yourself.
Oh wait,
that was the ruling in acts fifteen said to do.... I guess it was communicated to the Heart seekers.
Question 7 is an especially egregious example of what Solberg is consistent about. He claims it is the questions that are not very well thought out..yet his answer is extremely brief and superficial
*Instead of being 'Torah Observant,' what counts is being 'Gospel Observant.'*
"Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you that the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." Matthew 21:42-43.
"They will level you to the ground- you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.” Luke 19:44.
"In speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." Hebrews 8:13.
"Greet Rufus, (a Roman Gentile) CHOSEN in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me as well." Romans 16:13.
"But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has CHOSEN YOU (Macedonian Gentiles) from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth." 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:27-30.
"It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink [Traditions, Kabbalah, Talmud] but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone [Torah/Levitical Laws] but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence before God is ours through Christ. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God." 2 Corinthians 3:3-5. [Emphasis added for clarification]
Great Bible based discourse against returning to the Law.
Psalms 119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
Do you still eat bread and drink water? Because Jesus is the bread of life and the living water......remember the Sabbath
Exodus 31:14 “Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3], holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.“ (NASB)
Exodus 35:1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: 2 “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.“ (NASB)
Numbers 15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness [Heb. midbar], they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day [Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:1-3]. 33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation; 34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Deuteronomy 27:26; Matthew 5:18]; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation [Heb. edah] brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (NASB)
Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!“ (NASB)
This is amazing and very funny every question you addressed sounds like the deception in the garden of eden, you are the perfect person to show the ways that satan can put forward his deception,you are doing an amazing job. The only thing I know is I thank God for the bible and that it's my teacher because if I didn't know what it teaches you RL Solburg would lead me straight to HELL
Your so foolish and obviously a decieved person. You dont understand the truth because it is not in you. Rob not leading you to hell. That is where your going all on your own. Without the Holy Spirit you won't understand the bible anyway, that is why your not apart of the new covenant. If you were actually saved you'd understand the truth as Rob does
Jesus does not permit the holding of feasts that anticipate the death, burial and resurrection of a Messiah by believers! Jesus does not say to the believer that he can both expect/anticipate and accept His sacrifice!
We can see in Hebrews 11 that the promises were not yet received (Hebrews 11:13,39) and that we with them will receive the promises. V-40
27:10 The parable of the grain and darnel in Matthew 13 shows that the grain (sons of the regency) = the grass of the field" Mt6.30; L12.28. Jesus said "the field is the world/cosmos" Mt13:38 where Peter states "ALL FLESH is as grass..." 1P1.24. The context of the segregating grain from darnel points to Matthew 25:32 where we have to pay attention. Here we also read BOTH those of the nations are being segregated "JUST AS the herdsman segregate the sheep (Israel) from the kids.." Sheep is a figure specific to Israel Mt10:6; 15:24. The herdsman are those of the courtyard of John 10:1 to herd the other sheep of verse 16 when at the same term the nations are also being lead into the finishing of the right hand. The point being is that even the parable of Matthew 13 and 25 show that Jesus was not limiting the context to only Israelites but the grass of the field including ALL flesh 🙏
" ARK of the Covenant".......
Proclaiming Shabbat is relevant in the new covenant is spitting in the face of Jesus.
You are speaking about the Holy day ?
Have you never read the terms of the New Covenant?
Many unbelievers (Hebrews 3) do not care about Jesus giving them rest through believing the gospel (Hebrews 4) in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8). They only care about keeping Old Commandments in the Old Covenant of Judaism.
Luke 5:39 "And no one, after drinking old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is fine.’” (NASB)
@@pierreferguson1300 Sorry, I'm not tracking with what you are saying. Jesus only taught from the Tanakh (Old Testament). There wasn't anything else to teach from. So, I don't know why you would say that unbelievers only care about keeping the commandments that Jesus was teaching. That doesn't make any sense.
@@t.scottmajor1316 Where is Matthew 5:44 and John 13:34 in the Law given through Moses?
It's not Matthew 5:43 and Matthew 22:39 which quote Leviticus 19:18 based on Hebrews 7:11.
Have a good one in Old Testament Judaism, drinking old wine.
