When a Gentile comes to a proper understanding of Torah, often there is a lot of pressure to convert. Is that the right path, or are there are other considerations? On the other side, overwhelmingly, the church has pressured Jews to convert to Christianity.

In this episode, we look at Paul’s message, his understanding of what the kingdom looks like, and the nuanced references to the Jewish oral tradition.

If any single concept exemplifies the knowledge of G-d, it is Judaism‘s belief that man can achieve complete repentance. Judaism does not even find the word “repentance” sufficient, for repentance presupposes a natural state of sinfulness from which, in reality, there is no complete return. The Jewish concept is called tshuvah, return.

Has the Torah been made obsolete? Is the "New" covenant really new? 

In this episode, we explore the complex background to the book of Hebrews that often leads readers astray. We will learn how the letter is actually pro-Torah and pro-commandments, within the context of a Rabbinic midrash. 

Also, we will briefly seek to understand Hebrews as a deeply mystical letter, written to an advanced Jewish community.

What if Yeshua had lived in a later generation, one not marked by sectarianism? What if he had blended into the fabric of post-second temple Jewish unity?

Would he have remained an obscure Jew? Without the influence of the ethics and wisdom of the Bible, what would the world look like today?

In this episode, we’ll look at the mysterious way Divine providence has worked through history, step by step, moving humanity along to the final redemption.

Did Yeshua abolish the dietary laws? Did he also declare the traditions of men, ie: Judaism no longer valid? 

We will explore the background to this famous passage and uncover a hidden world of insights to what is going on here, ie: ritual purity, and holiness. Have we had it all wrong?

For many, the verses of Acts 15 are confusing, unfamiliar, and often unexplored on Sunday mornings. If they are taught at all, the ruling at the Jerusalem council is often viewed through a merely historical lens, and lacking in context.

In contrast to this, we believe these passages to be some of the most important and instructive verses in the entire New testament - and we'll explain why in this episode.
