Messiah Matters

In this episode, we begin by giving advice for new Torah observant father’s. Then we move to the Passover. What is going on in 1 Corinthians 11? Why does Paul use the “for as often as you eat this bread…”? Is Paul taking about communion or passover, or is something else going on? Finally, we read an email from someone who asks if Christians really keep most of the Torah?

In this episode, we welcome Rob back for a discussion on the priesthood. Starting in Jeremiah 31, we move through several texts that describe the future kingdom with a priesthood once again established on earth. Is this metaphorical as some have suggested? Or is there to be a priesthood on earth again? Also, a look at Hebrews 8.13 and the fact that “covenant” is not found in this verse. Finally, a discussion on 1 Peter 2 and what it means that we are to be a nation of priests.

The post Show #526 – The Priesthood appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this episode, we first look at a take on salvation that attempts to couple calvinism and arminian theology. This idea suggests that the Bible teaches two salvations, one for national Israel and one for individual people. We look at this from a biblical perspective to see if it holds up. Then we turn to a video by a Lutheran teacher who discusses his view of the Lord’s Supper as something totally different from the Passover and why this view has major problems.

The post Show #524 – Covenant Theology appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this episode, we discuss a video by someone who claims that believers need to be reading the book of Enoch and should pray to see if God wants them to do so. Then we move to a discussion about Romans 11.6, why does Paul say “No longer of works…” instead of “not of works?” Also a discussion on traveling on the Sabbath and images in worship.

The post Show #523 – No Longer of Works? appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this episode, we first look at a video that talks about the foundation of our faith being Christ. This is true, but we look at the Torah as the true reflection of God’s holiness and how this is the reflection of Christ as well. Then we look at dispensationalism. We discuss the various dispensations and look at several videos from dispensational scholars and ask if this is really how the Bible presents sanctification.

The post Show #521 – The Millennium appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this episode, I first discuss the journey of identity in the Torah movement I have had and how I think some have misunderstood this exploration. Some have said I am coming back to “Messianic Judaism.” I explore this concept and discuss my journey in Torah observance. After that, I move to reformed theology and what this looks like as it is coupled with Torah observance. What is reformed theology? Does it line up with Torah observance? And are there things that I reject within reformed theology as a Torah observant believer?

The post Show #520 – Reformed and Messianic? appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this video, we dive into the timeless question: Who is Israel? We trace the origins of the nation from the twelve sons of Jacob and examine modern Israel to determine if it remains the biblical nation or has evolved into something distinct. Drawing from Romans 9, we explore the concept of the remnant of Israel as God’s covenant people, beyond just a nation or ethnic group. We propose that believers in Yeshua don’t replace Israel but join its remnant through “Enlargement Theology.” Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, identity, and God’s covenant!

The post Show #519 – Who is Israel? appeared first on Messiah Matters.

In this video, we dive into two thought-provoking questions from our viewers about Acts 10 and early Christian practices. First, we explore a question about Peter’s dream and whether it implies that Cornelius was ritually clean, rendering the temple purity laws obsolete. Then, we address another question: Is there evidence that the early Christian Church was Torah observant? Join us as we unpack biblical texts and historical insights to show that many early Christians remained faithful to Torah observance.
