No one can escape having to obey someone at some time. We grow up obeying our parents, then it is our bosses, and we should always obey our spouse. But what I want to talk about why we obey orders, and why we don’t. If you prefer to watch a
The generally accepted reason God sent Yeshua (Jesus) was to provide a means by which we would be able to receive forgiveness of sin, especially after the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed. Yeshua also was able to teach us the deeper, spiritual meaning of the Torah laws, being an
Shaul, also known as Paul, said that he had a thorn in his side that was placed there to keep him humble. I think I know what that thorn was. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Shaul was so educated that he
This is going to be a long message, so please try to get through it, even though I know it is going to be really hard for almost everyone to hear. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. But I think it might
If we agree that religion is the worship of a supernatural entity, then unless that entity is of the world we live in, the religion shouldn’t be centered on worldly things, right? And therefore, your chosen house of worship should not be centered on worldly things, either. If you prefer
The popular saying among many people is that you only get one life, so live it to its fullest. That sounds like a wise saying, but in my opinion it is wrong because this life is given to us for only one reason: to decide where we will spend eternity.
The letter Shaul (Paul) wrote to the Galatians tells how faithful trusting makes Gentiles who accept Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah adopted children of Abraham, and also children of God. So do they get their own rules or do they follow the rules the natural born children follow? If you
Okay, let’s start by remembering exactly who Yeshua is and how he lived: he was, is, and always shall be the Jewish Messiah who lived a perfectly observant Torah life. Now, can we agree that, in general, to follow someone is to do as they did? If you said “No”,
Growing up Jewish, I was subject to many accusations from my Christian friends stating that it was us Jews who killed God (meaning Jesus Christ). Of course, my reply was that it was the Romans who actually killed him, but now I know it wasn’t really them. If you prefer
It is assumed that Yeshua was sacrificed in the year 33 AD, and that the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed around the year 72 AD, roughly two generations later. I believe God sent Yeshua when he did because he knew the temple would be gone, and with it the only
So many times I have heard people who claim to be Christians and to follow in Jesus’s footsteps say that he did away with the law. And I have always wondered how anyone can believe that God sent his very own son to tell everyone they don’t have to obey
We all know that after Yeshua was resurrected salvation became available to the Gentiles who were willing to faithfully accept that Yeshua is the Messiah the God of the Jews promised to send. And in doing so, they also obligated themselves to accept the same laws and way of life
There has always been this issue between obedience and faith, with most people believing they are exclusionary. I see them as complementary; and, more than that, I believe what is more important than being obedient is why we want to be obedient. If you prefer to watch a video, click
Time for another lesson in how to get people to listen to you. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Okay, first off let’s remember this very important rule: People believe only half of what you tell them, but 100% of what they
I have heard and read so many arguments about the “correct” name for God, and all that ever results from this topic is dissension within the body of Believers. Does anyone really think that God doesn’t know who we mean when we pray to him? If you prefer to watch
Too often we consider what we do to be the sin, but that is just the result of our sin. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. For example, let’s say I am married and have a sexual encounter with someone who is
I have been a Believer in Yeshua as the Messiah for nearly 30 years, and during this time I have met many Christians who have been adamant that the Torah is only for Jews. So much so, that they not only say they do not have to obey the Torah,
How many times have you seen that bumper-sticker that says “coexist” spelled out in different religious symbols? It sounds like a good idea, but none of the religions represented by those symbols are called to coexist. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the
The news is full of those screaming to “Free Palestine”, as well as those saying, “From the River to the Sea”, both having the same desired result- the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews. And don’t think this is just about Jews in Israel- it is about Judaism,
I have always said that God has no religion; religion was created by men in order to have power over other men. This has been the reason that so many people who think they are worshipping God correctly are actually on the wrong path. If you prefer to watch a
