How Matthew 5 Exposes the Lie That “God Doesn’t Really Love You”

In this episode, we confront a quiet, corrosive belief that haunts many believers: “Yes, God is loving — but not really toward me.” We walk slowly through Matthew 5:43–48 and let Yeshua define the Father’s heart in His own words: a God who loves enemies, does real good to the unjust, and calls us to imitate what He already is.

We trace this back into the Tanakh — Exodus 34, Psalm 145, Ezekiel, Jonah — and make it explicit that the so-called “Old Testament God” and the God revealed at the cross are the same covenant God of Israel. Along the way, we expose how later Greek philosophical categories helped split God in people’s minds — harsh Father versus kind Jesus — and why that split has to die if we’re going to take Scripture seriously.

We then put several familiar doctrines under the light of Matthew 5 and Romans 5: “God only truly loves the elect,” “God’s attitude toward the wicked is only wrath,” “God only loves once you repent,” and we clarify why affirming God’s love for all does not erase judgment, hell, or the final reality that every knee will bow and every tongue confess. Finally, we speak directly to those who feel completely unworthy and beyond love, and we let the cross and the words “while we were enemies” answer that fear — closing with a prayer that listeners would see, in their own story, that they are truly loved.

In this episode, we take on a hard question most believers quietly avoid: Why does John’s Gospel sound so anti-Jewish in English—and is that really what John is? We trace how theological agendas, imperial politics, and liturgical habits turned a deeply Jewish Gospel into a weapon against the very people it came from. Along the way, we stop at the woman at the well and let John 4 do its work: a Jewish Messiah crossing a hostile boundary between Jews and Samaritans, refusing to honor the lines His own people keep, and offering living water on the wrong mountain to the wrong woman. We unpack what hoi Ioudaioi (“the Jews”) actually meant in John’s world, how “the Jews” became a blunt translation that suited replacement theology, and why giving John back to his Jewish context doesn’t weaken the Gospel—it exposes how much we’ve let later church anxieties speak louder than the text itself.

In this episode, we peel back the layers behind Matthew’s phrase, “He shall be called a Nazarene” (Matt. 2:23), and discover that it was never about geography. We follow the Hebrew root n–tz–r as it ties together the Netzer (Branch) of Isaiah 11, the Notzrim (Watchmen) of Jeremiah 31, and the divine Watchman who guards Israel’s covenant in the Psalms and Prophets. From there, we explore how the Mishnah and Talmud — not as Scripture, but as linguistic witnesses — confirm Matthew’s deeply Hebrew framework through idioms like “Kingdom of Heaven,” “bind and loose,” “good eye,” “Gehenna,” and “fulfill the Torah.” The episode closes with a direct challenge to modern believers: step into your role as Notzrim. Use the tools of your generation to transliterate, re-examine, and recover the Hebrew voice of Scripture — not to chase novelty, but to guard the covenant and live as true watchmen in an age of drift.

In a world where churches mass-produce information but rarely cultivate understanding, this episode dismantles the modern pastoral system and exposes why discipleship has collapsed into passivity. We explore how early Jewish dialogue shaped the first-century ekklesia, why modern Christians remain spiritually malnourished, and how tradition, denominational bias, and platform culture hijacked Scripture in plain sight. The challenge is simple: stop consuming other people’s conclusions — and return to the God who still speaks through His Word to any who will search it.

Most believers fear spiritual attack but ignore the battlefield inside their own mind. This episode uncovers the Hebraic and Messianic depth of Paul’s command to “take every thought captive,” showing how the inner life shapes your discipline, your marriage, your Torah obedience, and the psychological rest your soul craves. We explore the Tanakh’s teaching on guarding the heart, Yeshua’s intensification of inner obedience, and the practical reality that every choice — eating, buying, reacting, leading — begins as a single thought you either master or obey. If you’re ready for real transformation, not clichés, this conversation will confront you, ground you, and call you into covenant-level mental warfare.

Many believers claim to love Jesus while despising the people He was born from. This episode cuts straight through that contradiction. We expose the inherited ignorance that stripped Yeshua of His Jewish identity, the supersessionist theology that turned His own family into the villain, and the lazy conspiracies masquerading as “discernment.” If you worship the Lion of Judah, you cannot hate Judah.

If you love the Messiah, you cannot reject the covenant that shaped Him. This is a sober, unfiltered call to return to the root—Israel, covenant, context, and the real Yeshua whom Christianity has too often rewritten. Listen with humility. Let Scripture speak. And ask yourself the question that will matter on the day He returns: Do I really know Him?

This episode explores Matthew 4, Matthew 23, Hebrews, and 1 Timothy 2 through a Hebraic lens — contrasting the role of ha-satan as “the adversary” with the human urge to create spiritual middlemen. We unpack how Yeshua refuses every attempt to insert a mediator between God and His people, challenge the modern pastor to stop functioning as the hinge, and end with a direct call to go back to the Scriptures and wrestle with the text first-hand.

Episode: Seeing with Hebrew Eyes — How Translation Changed John 3

We’ve turned John 3 : 16 into a slogan, but in Hebrew, it’s a covenant.

This deep Messianic dive uncovers how mistranslation reshaped the gospel — turning cosmic love into selective theology and rebirth into a slogan.

From milmaʿlah (“born from above”) to ḥayye ʿolam (“life of the Age”) and haʿolam / kosmos (“world”), discover how Yeshua’s words reveal transformation, not escape.

Step out of the slogans and into the Light that still remakes creation.

Why did Paul shave his head?

Why did the apostles demand that he publicly demonstrate his Torah faithfulness?

And how did the King James Version — followed by modern translations — rewrite the story so Gentiles believe obedience is optional?

In this episode, we walk through:

The Nazirite vow Paul actually took

Why Acts 21 destroys the “Paul rejected Torah” myth

How English translations muted the Torah language

Why the four-laws-only doctrine in Acts 15 is mistranslated

How the Greek text expects Gentiles to learn Moses every Sabbath

And how a mistranslated Bible reshaped an entire religion

This is not polemic.

It’s textual honesty.

It’s covenant clarity.

And it’s long overdue.

The Church doesn’t need a microchip to bear the mark—it already carries it in its bank accounts, boardrooms, and bulletins.

In this piercing episode, Sergio DeSoto exposes how modern Christianity has quietly entered into covenant with Caesar. Drawing from Revelation, Hebraic thought, and U.S. tax policy, he reveals how dependence on 501(c)(3) status, inflated budgets, and institutional self-preservation have become the modern mark of the beast—a rival covenant disguised as wisdom.

This is not an argument about prophecy; it’s a confrontation with reality. Ninety-seven percent of church wealth stays inside the walls, feeding systems instead of souls. The remaining three percent barely reaches the world Yeshua died to redeem.

A wake-up call to pastors, leaders, and believers: the mark isn’t coming—it’s already here. The question now is, whose image are we bearing?
