Study the Bible with Arthur Bailey

Yeshua's teaching on divorce was a sharp contrast from the teachings of the teachers of the law, who were responsible for teaching the people of Israel the Law. Yeshua continued to make clear distinctions between His teachings and the way the teachers of the law were teaching. Yeshua's first public teaching set Him at odds with the teachers of the law on all of the subject matters He taught to the multitude of people who had gathered to hear Him teach. Join us as Yeshua addresses the subjects of Oaths, Attitudes, Hate and Love, from the perspective of the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Yeshua distinguishes Himself even further from the teachings of the teachers of the law and many other teachers of that day. 

According to the genealogy revealed by Luke in the New Testament, Adam was the son of God/YeHoVaH.  Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness and called his name Seth. Genesis 5 follows key individuals from Seth’s lineage such as Enoch who walked with YeHoVaH, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah.  Cain was not included in the generations of Adam or recognized as a son of God/YeHoVaH.

Yeshua's first public teaching, concerning the Kingdom Gospel, covered a variety of topics that were pertinent to those who desired to enter the Kingdom and follow Him. Yeshua established the standards of how His followers were to conduct themselves morally and ethically in His Kingdom community while living in the world's kingdoms. After clarifying His position on the Law and the Prophets, murder, and adultery, Yeshua transitions to the subject of divorce from the perspective of the Law. What may appear as a random subject matter is an intentional and succinct discourse as Yeshua addresses this public gathering of disciples and a multitude of potential followers. Join us and listen in as Yeshua Teaches on Divorce.

Although YeHoVaH rendered judgment on Mr. and Mrs. Adam for their actions of disobedience, they remained in the presence of YeHoVaH. However, after the murder of Abel, Cain went out from the presence of YeHoVaH.  Cain took his wife with him and dwelt in the land of Nod or Wandering on the east of Eden.  Who was Cain’s wife? 

Cain began to populate and built a city which he named after his firstborn Enoch.  Cain’s descendant Lamech broke the protocol of the one man-one wife example practiced by 6 generations established by YeHoVaH.  Lamech married two wives and was the first to engage in polygamy.

For those who had ears to hear, Yeshua gave instructions on how believers in the Kingdom were to conduct themselves morally and ethically in the world kingdoms. Yeshua transitions His teachings to the Law, and the intent of the Law, in comparison and contrast to how the Law was being taught by the legalistic religious leaders. These leaders were mainly the Pharisees who taught in the weekly synagogue services. Yeshua explained how the Law should have been interpreted and lived out daily by the Children of Israel. Join us as we examine the life changing teachings of Yeshua from the Law as He contrasts His teachings with the teachings of the legalistic teachers of the law in His day. 

The Adam Family now consists of Mr. and Mrs. Adam/Eve, Cain, and Abel. Cain and Abel brought offerings to YeHoVaH.  Abel brought what would later come to be known as firstfruits/firstborn of the flock.   

YeHoVaH looked at Abel’s offering with regard and respect. YeHoVaH looked at what Cain brought and looked away. Listen as Arthur elaborates on sin’s desire to rule over us, but we must take dominion over sin. Instead of ruling over sin, Cain gave in to sin.

In this portion of Matthew, the Messiah continues His first public teaching. It is commonly known as the Beatitudes (blessings) from the Sermon on the Mount. Yeshua's teaching transitions from the blessings to the expected role of his followers in the earth; their ethics, moral codes, and values they were/are to live by; and how they were/are to conduct themselves in the world.

Join us in this thought-provoking, life-changing study as Yeshua raises the standard and expectations of the life of the believer and articulates the similarity between the lives of the believers in comparison to His life as Savior of the world.

Last week in the teaching, Falling from Grace, the serpent and the woman had a conversation that led to Mr. and Mrs. Adam eating from the tree that YeHoVaH told them not to eat from.  This week, Arthur addresses the solid validity of the Bible and questions things that people have taught us from the Bible that sometimes go beyond what is written.

Yeshua returned from the wilderness in the Power of the Holy Spirit after forty days of fasting and being tempted by the devil. Yeshua taught the Kingdom Gospel to the Hebrews in their synagogues and healed sickness and disease throughout the region of Galilee. Then, large groups of Gentiles heard of His healing ministry and brought the sick to Him from all over the region and beyond Jordan in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

Join us and listen in to the Kingdom Gospel taught by Yeshua from the Psalms and the Prophets to both a Hebrew and non-Hebrew audience in Yeshua's First Public Teaching.

This message is called Falling from Grace because of the sequence of events that befell Mr. and Mrs. Adam.  Many people believe that grace is solely a New Testament concept, and that grace did not exist in the Old Testament prior to Messiah.  That is far from the truth!  In this teaching, Arthur shows that grace existed in the Old Testament too.
