Hebrew Nation Online | Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio – Avi Ben Mordechai

PART SIX – our final program tackling the subject of what the Bible calls food and asking the question, are we as believers in Yeshua permitted to eat biblically unclean foods such as pork, shellfish, and the forbidden foods of Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14?

On this final episode of Real Israel Talk Radio dealing with clean and unclean issues in the New Covenant – PART SIX of six parts – we will address Acts chapter 10 and “Peter’s Vision, when he received a divine vision saying to him, “Rise Peter, kill and eat.”And in a large sheet he saw all manner of animals. So, we ask the question, were these beasts, crawling and flying creatures unclean OR clean OR both? Then in Romans 14, we will focus on the concept of impurity and uncleanness defined from the Hebraic context of how we are to understand divine love.

Suzanne and I will walk you through the contexts of Acts 10 as it relates to “Moral Impurity by Association” and Romans 14 as it relates to the biblical definition of love.

Join us for this final Program 6 Episode 037 of Season 2020 on this all-important subject from Real Israel Talk Radio.

PART FIVE of a multi-part series tackling the subject of what the Bible calls food and asking the question, are we as believers in Yeshua permitted to eat biblically unclean foods such as pork, shellfish, and the forbidden foods of Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14?

On this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio – PART FIVE – we will introduce the clean/unclean issue as it relates to the New Covenant narrative in Mark 7:1-5. – “Now when they (the Pharisees) saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.” Then, in verse 19 of some manuscripts, the teaching of Yeshua concludes with the parenthetical statement…” (Thus he declared all foods clean).

Suzanne and I will walk you through the context of Mark 7:1-5 as it relates to “Moral Impurity by Association,” represented in NT Greek as “koinos akathartos,” the Pharisaic clean/unclean Jewish Oral Law tradition of the elders. Join us for this Program 5 Episode 036 Season 2020 of Real Israel Talk Radio on Israel’s food diet according to the Torah.

PART FOUR of a multi-part series tackling the subject of what the Bible calls food and asking the question, are we as believers in Yeshua permitted to eat biblically unclean foods such as pork, shellfish, and the forbidden foods of Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14?

On this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, we will speak about eating physical food on earth; that is represents a metaphor to explain that there is also the eating of spiritual food in Heaven. This follows the teaching of Yeshua who showed us how to pray saying, “Our Father who is in Heaven…your will be done on Earth AS IT IS in Heaven.” Thus, in all of our eating for physical sustenance, there should be an inseparable and linked connection between Heaven and Earth; that both Heaven and Earth must witness Truth in us.  If our witness on earth breaks the witness in Heaven then we are living according to a lie and not according to truth.

With PART FOUR of this biblical study series, we will speak about the Hebrew term “l’briut” coming from a Hebrew root that means “to a covenant.” We will learn about covenants and food and how they are connected taking Revelation 3:20 into consideration, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone opens the door, I will dine with him and he with me.”

On this fourth podcast in the series, Why I Exchanged Salami For Pastrami, Suzanne and I will walk you through the biblical idea of making food choices that reflect our spiritual covenant with Messiah on Earth as it is in Heaven; walking out Heaven’s realities through Earth’s metaphors.

Join us for this episode 035 of Real Israel Talk Radio, Season 2020 on the Torah food diet, which is about the food that we eat on Earth as it is supposed to reflect the food that eat (and will eat) in Heaven.

PART THREE of a multi-part series tackling the subject of what the Bible calls food and asking the question, are we as believers in Yeshua permitted to eat biblically unclean foods such as pork?

On this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, we will seek to bring some clarity into defining the term “food” and how this is linked to the Hebrew of Genesis 2:16 where the eating of food is mentioned as a plural concept, not a singular concept. In other words, in Hebrew, Genesis 2:16 says, “In eating, you will eat” implying that there are two aspects of eating, physical and spiritual and that physical food is a metaphor to show us a spiritual truth. Consider that the Bible narrative begins in the Genesis Garden of Eden with a food choice and remarkably, the Bible ends with another food choice in the book of Revelation; and in the middle, Yeshua says in John 4:32, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

With PART THREE of this biblical study series, we will seek to lay down a good foundation to better understand food in its relationship to Yeshua’s prayer to the Father that says, “Your will be done on Earth AS IT IS in Heaven.

On this podcast, Why I Exchanged Salami For Pastrami, Suzanne and I will walk you through the biblical idea of making food choices that reflects our spiritual redeemed life of Heaven as we live out Heaven’s realities through Earth’s metaphors.

Join us for this episode 034 of Real Israel Talk Radio, Season 2020 on the Torah food diet, which is about the food that we eat on Earth as it is supposed to reflect the food that eat (and will eat) in Heaven.

PART TWO of a multi-part series tackling the subject of what the Bible calls food and asking the question, are we as believers in Yeshua permitted to eat biblically unclean foods such as pork? Of course, I suppose the answer depends on who we are speaking with. On this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, we will seek to bring some clarity to the biblical idea of making decisions for life or death. After all, consider that the Bible narrative begins in the Genesis Garden of Eden with a food choice and remarkably, the Bible ends with another food choice in the book of Revelation. And in the middle, we can read the words of Yeshua in John 4:32 when he says, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” With this series of biblical studies, we will seek to lay down a good foundation in order to learn to make good choices by establishing defined boundaries for our redeemed spiritual walk.  On this podcast, Why I Exchanged Salami For Pastrami, I will speak with my wife Suzanne and we will walk through the biblical idea of making choices for life and not death. Join us for this episode 033 on the Torah food diet, which is about the food of Earth as a metaphor to teach us about the food of Heaven.

“Born Again”or as the Greek text says, “Born from Above.” What was Yeshua’s explanation for it? Judging from what the Jewish religious teacher Nicodemus said when he responded to Yeshua in John chapter 3, I will attempt to put this idea back into its biblical Hebraic context as Yeshua and his disciples would have understood it. Our journey to a better understanding of “Born from Above” will bring us to Genesis 3:19, Isaiah 28:19, and in the New Covenant at Titus 3:4-7. These passages should be able to give us a good picture of what the Hebrew idea teaches us based on the Genesis creation story. On this podcast, we will carefully examine the Hebraic term Shuv (repentance). It had a very specific meaning and we will look at it today. Join us for this study — Part 2 of 2 and a look into the human consciousness and our promised New Man in Messiah. This is Real Israel Talk Radio, Program AR200808, Episode 031.

“Born Again.” What is this all about? These days, a lot of folks just assume it’s an easy concept to grasp. Judging from what the Jewish religious teacher Nicodemus said when he responded to Yeshua in John chapter 3, I am not so sure that the concept is, in fact, so well-understood. Thus, I thought we should come back to revisit the idea of “Born Again,” or as the Greek text says, “Born from Above,” and try to put it back into its biblical Hebraic context. Our journey to a better understanding of “Born from Above” will bring us to John 20:22 and 1 Corinthians 15:45. I am quite confident that Nicodemus understood these teachings quite well. On this podcast, we will carefully examine the two Hebraic terms Nefesh Khayah and Nishmat Khayim. In the written Torah of Moses, they had very specific meanings and we will look at them today. Join us for this study — Part 1 of 2 — into our human consciousness and our New Man in Messiah. This is Real Israel Talk Radio, Program AR200801, Episode 030.

With this second episode of speaking about giving learned men and women exalted titles, we will continue where we left off on our last program. In religious theological circles, Catholics call the priests of the church “Father.” Christians call esteemed pastors “Teachers.” Jews call learned teachers “Rabbi” and legal scholars “Rav” or “Rabban.” However, according to Yeshua in Matthew 23:8-12, none of these titles have the approval of our Father in Heaven. Yet still, it’s a widely adopted practice to address church and synagogue leaders with these titles. On this podcast of Real Israel Talk Radio, Episode 029 Part 2 – Man’s  Exalted Titles of Rabbi, Teacher, and Father, we will have a close look into the cultural, biblical, archaeological, and historical background for using these terms and perhaps why Yeshua gave us his instructions to not use them. My reasoning for speaking about this has nothing to do with judging those who use the titles but rather to simply provide some theological context to help us make informed choices that line up with our redeemed life in Messiah.

Let’s address the exalted titles that are given to the learned men of religious theology. Catholics call the priests of the church “Father.” Christians call esteemed pastors “Teacher.” Jews call learned teachers “Rabbi” and legal scholars “Rav” or “Rabban.” However, according to Yeshua in Matthew 23:8-12, none of these titles has the approval of our Father in Heaven. Yet still, it’s a widely adopted practice to give church and synagogue leaders these titles. On this podcast of Real Israel Talk Radio, Episode 028 Part 1 – Man’s  Exalted Titles of Rabbi, Teacher, and Father, we will have a close look into the cultural, biblical, archaeological, and historical background for using these terms and perhaps why Yeshua gave us these instructions. My reasoning for speaking about this matter has nothing to do with judging those who use the titles but rather to simply provide some theological context to help us make informed choices that line up with our redeemed life in Messiah.
