I’m going to start a new series of articles addressing the Hebrew Roots Movement, focused specifically on the concept of required Torah observance. These terms will be defined as we go, of course. Previously, I have done an exegetical series on Matthew 5:17-20, a favorite passage for Hebrew Roots believers. I’ve also posted some videos […]
Join me in hearing pastor, speaker, and professor Dr. John Whittaker as he walks us through Galatians 3, showing how the believer’s membership in the New Covenant changes his relationship to the Law of Moses. I’m very grateful to have had him on the channel. He is also the host of the Bible in Life […]
Check out the YouTube channel to see my 5th and final part in this series on Philia Ministries. In this video, I address several things. I go over how I see the term “heresy” as it’s used today. Also how error, while not always something that condemns its believer, can still lead to condemnation when […]
This is the 4th and final article in my series on Matthew 5:17-20. Appropriately, on verse 20. Previous articles are here, here, and here. As it is the last one on this section of Jesus’ sermon, It makes sense to do a little bit of review, so we can see the whole section together. Jesus […]
New video has been posted. In this video, I tackle an issue that came up since my first video on Philia Ministries, an organization promoting Torah observance for all Christians. That issue is that use of Matthew 18 by false teachers to try to accuse those who challenge them biblically of violating Jesus’ words on […]
This is part 3 of an examination of Matthew 5:17-20 in light of arguments from the Hebrew Roots movement and those who promote Torah observance for all Christians. For Part 1, click here. For part 2, here. Moving on to the next verse, Jesus makes this statement: Matthew 5:19 Whoever then annuls one of the […]
I’ve posted the third video in my series examining Philia Ministries, an online group promoting Torah observance. The video this is responding to is, itself, a response to videos posted by both myself and others, specifically Mike at On Point Preparedness, who posted a video last week highlighting the differences between the public message contained […]
In the previous article, I demonstrated why it is not faithful to the text to argue that Matthew 5:17 is incompatible with any kind of end or finishing to the Law of Moses. Rather, it teaches a fulfillment of all of the Scriptures, including the Law. And just as the fulfillment of the other prophetic […]
In my second video examining Philia Ministries, I looked into James’ video on the Torah, and their approach to it. As before, I am responding specifically to what is contained in this public video. Also as before, there are serious concerns here. I want to make clear that I don’t consider a desire to follow […]
