What if Jesus’s disputes with other teachers over the Law of Moses weren’t about criticizing legalism or external rituals? What if, as the authoritative interpreter of the Law, Jesus was actually criticizing misinterpretation and transgression? In his new book, Jesus and the Law of Moses, Dr. Paul Sloan offers a fresh perspective on how the Gospels depict Jesus’s teaching on the Law—and this perspective challenges some common assumptions about Jesus’s relationship to the Law. I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Sloan to the channel to discuss his book.

Is the Torah (Law of Moses) relevant to Gentile followers of the Messiah? Many say no, citing the Jerusalem Council event in Acts 15 as proof. In this message, David Wilber challenges that common interpretation through a careful reading of this passage within its historical and theological context. Far from rejecting the Torah, we’ll see how the apostles wisely and faithfully applied the Torah to Gentile believers joining the Messianic Jewish community.

Jesus told his disciples, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” But what exactly did he mean his commandments? Was he referring only to the commandment to love, only to the teachings given during his earthly ministry, or also to the commandments found in the Torah (Law of Moses)? That is the subject of the new book by Dr. Benjamin Szumskyj titled Love and the Law: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to John 14:15. I’m excited to have Dr. Szumskyj with us to discuss his book on this important verse.

A popular account on X (formerly Twitter) recently labeled me a "Judaizer" for agreeing with the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15:20. Other folks then piled on, calling me satanic, a heretic, and all sorts of other names. In this video, I’ll explain why it is not controversial to believe that the four commandments of the Apostolic Decree are still relevant. As I’ll demonstrate, these four commandments are consistently affirmed throughout the New Testament and early Christian writings.

In the Gospels, we see that Yeshua (Jesus) often chose to heal people on the Sabbath. Though some interpret these occasions as a challenge to the Sabbath itself, Yeshua’s words and actions actually reveal what true Sabbath observance is supposed to look like. In this message, David Wilber focuses on a specific example of healing from Luke 13:10–17 and what it teaches us about Yeshua’s perspective on the Sabbath.

Did God revoke his food laws? Did he abolish the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Many argue that he did based on Peter’s vision in Acts chapter 10. However, recent scholarship is challenging that interpretation. In his new book, "Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Acts 10:9–15," my guest, R. M. Bailey, argues that Peter’s vision isn’t about food at all. Bailey challenges popular antinomian interpretations and offers a pronomian reading that better fits both the immediate context and the broader biblical narrative. I’m excited to talk to him about this important passage.Get your copy of "Whom God Has Made Clean" here: https://a.co/d/1bx8C2J

In this video, I respond to several claims made by Tim Alberino, including the assertion that the Jews deliberately excluded the Book of Enoch from their canon because it testified of Jesus. Hope it blesses you!

What did Paul mean in Romans 14:14 when he wrote, "nothing is unclean in itself"? Did he believe that the Torah's distinction between clean and unclean food had been erased? Or is he talking about something else entirely? Joining me today to discuss this is Rob Vanhoff. He is a biblical scholar, author, and instructor at TelosTorah Bible Academy. I'm excited to have Rob with us to talk about this passage.

What does the Torah say about the value of the unborn? There is an interesting law in Exodus 21:22-25 that speaks to this question. Joining me to discuss this is Dr. Carmen Imes, an Old Testament scholar, author, and associate professor at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.

Does the Talmud permit a man to have relations with a girl under three? Despite what some Jew-hating propagandists would have you believe, it does not. In this video, I walk through the passage most often cited in support of that claim and show what is actually being discussed.
