Number 1: Live Debate on Acts 15 and the Law of Moses (Dr. Solberg and Wilber)
Send us Fan Mail Dr. R. L. Solberg and David Wilber debated Acts 15 and one of the most important questions in Christian theology: Did the apostle's decision at the Jerusalem Council require Gentile believers to keep the Law of Moses? Wilber argues in the affirmative, Solberg in the negative. Both participants present their cases in a semi-formal and civil debate format. The goal isn't to "score points" but to help believers understand Acts 15 by hearing both sides presented fairly.

Number 2: Discipleship Defined by Scripture
Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this conversation, Mike Edwards interviews Dr. R. L. Solberg about the biblical definition of discipleship, exploring what it means to follow Christ, deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and make disciples. Together they discuss key passages such as Matthew 28, Luke 9, and John 15, while examining how Scripture—not tradition or personal opinion—defines the Christian life. #livestream #christianliving #discipleship #jesus #apologetics The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Number 3: Acts 15 in Context: Testing 119 Ministries
Send us Fan Mail Did the Jerusalem Council teach that Gentile Christians must keep the Torah? In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg examines Acts 15 in context and responds to the interpretation presented by 119 Ministries. We carefully compare their claims with the biblical text and ask a simple but important question: Where does the text actually say that? Together we'll examine three major claims about Acts 15, including whether the Jerusalem Council addressed one issue or two, whether the four prohibitions were intended as a "starter pack" for full Torah observance, and whether Gentile believers were expected to learn the Law of Moses through weekly synagogue attendance. If you're interested in the Hebrew Roots Movement, Torah observance, the Jerusalem Council, or how to interpret Acts 15 faithfully and in its historical context, this study is for you. 119 Ministries' Video: https://119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/acts-15-explained-did-the-apostles-reject-the-torah-for-gentiles/ The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Number 4: Did God Divorce Israel? A Biblical Examination of Remarriage Theology
Send us Fan Mail What if the gospel wasn't about something new, but about restoring something ancient? In this teaching, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines the claims of Divorce & Remarriage Theology by testing them against Scripture. Does the Bible really teach that God married Israel at Sinai, divorced His bride, died to overcome a legal dilemma, and then remarried Israel? Or has an extra-biblical framework been imposed on the biblical text? Join us as we examine the evidence and ask one simple diagnostic question: Did the biblical authors actually teach this?

Number 5: Are There Contradictions in the Bible?
Send us Fan Mail Critics often claim that Scripture is full of errors, conflicting accounts, and impossible statements. In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg examines some of the most common alleged contradictions and explains why many of them turn out to be questions of context, language, perspective, chronology, or textual transmission rather than genuine logical contradictions. We explore the Resurrection accounts, Paul and James on faith and works, Old Testament passages that speak of things lasting "forever," apparent contradictions about seeing God, God's unchanging nature, numerical discrepancies, and more. Along the way, we learn an important principle: a true contradiction exists only when something is affirmed and denied in the same sense, at the same time, and in the same respect. Whether you're wrestling with difficult passages yourself or responding to challenges from skeptics, this video will help you think more carefully about what the Bible actually says and how Christians have approached these questions for centuries.
