The Biblically Correct Podcast (Messianic Jewish)

What does the Holy Spirit do? How do we connect with Him? What are the means and methods by which He interacts with us, empowering us to live our new life in Messiah? In this second part of a 3-part series, Kevin explores the Scriptures to discover more about the ways that God's Spirit comes into contact with our own, and how the Ruach accomplishes His work in us to move and activate us spiritually.

The Holy Spirit is our invisible partner in living out the word of God in the service of the Master Yeshua. He is not some unknowable, mysterious force to be feared or ignored, nor is He a mystical spigot that we can switch on for our spiritual indulgence. To correctly understand and walk in the Spirit, we need biblical balance. In this first part of a 3-part series, Kevin reintroduces us to the Holy Spirit, not according to doctrinal faith traditions or subjective personal experience, but according to the written revelation of Scriptures.

Well-known inspirational Bible quotes often bring us comfort, encouragement, motivation, reassurance and strength. Yet we tend to gravitate toward such verses not just because they’re emotionally uplifting, but because they’re contextually sanitized, non-confrontational, and undemanding of us. Such a shallow use of the Bible robs us of the endless abundance of inspiration found all over the Scriptures, including in the most unexpected, less delicate, more in-your-face and provocative of places. So with that in mind, here are four inspirational Bible verses that no one in their right mind has ever labeled “inspirational.”

No matter how this year's presidential election turns out, there will still be grave concern for the future of our country. Many of us still believe that elections can save our country—can save us—and set things right. But according to the word of God, even while we participate in the electoral process, it is a fool’s errand to look for salvation from any man. In this episode, Kevin reminds us where our hope for every election truly lies, and encourages us with an unexpected and unusual message of hope.

The knowledge and reality of Yeshua’s sacrifice fills and touches us in our inmost being, producing thoughts and feelings of appreciation, gratitude, thankfulness, passion, and profound, overflowing joy. This is the Jesus that most believers know and are more than happy to follow. But while all this is true, the problem is that far too many believers have also mistaken that unheavy burden and easy yoke for a walk with a gentle Jesus that is free of personal cost and responsibility. In today's episode, Kevin introduces the full, complete and demanding Yeshua of the Bible that most believers don't want to follow.

The mystery of Yeshua's divine dynamics as both fully God and fully man defies language and thought. Yet rather than be content to live with Scripture's unresolved tension of it, Christian theology has rationalized extrabiblical explanations—one of which is the concept of preincarnation. In this episode, Kevin searches the Old Testament for preincarnate, human-form appearances of Jesus, and considers the effect such an idea has on the true nature and person of Yeshua.

The Trinity is arguably the singular foundational doctrine of historical Christianity. The teaching of a triune godhead—of one God in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is at the center of the Christian creeds, and is universally accepted across denominational lines. But is it true that the God of Israel—whom Moses says is “One”—is, actually, also three? In this episode, Kevin looks at the Scriptures to see if they do indeed teach that God is a Trinity, and considers whether holding to Christian Trinitarian doctrine is truly necessary for biblical faith.

They say “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to using Bible study tools. While a seminary degree is hardly necessary to qualify someone to handle the Scriptures, one still needs to understand Bible tool basics in order to properly use them. In today's episode, Kevin demonstrates three major mistakes that people make with Bible tools, specifically with Hebrew and Greek lexicons.

Why is traditional, Rabbinic Judaism so deeply embedded in the culture and expression of the typical Messianic Jewish synagogue service and community? Why have Messianics adopted Judaism in this way? Does it actually make us better disciples of Messiah? In what way does Judaism really support and reinforce the Jewishness of a Messianic Jew? In this episode, Kevin explains the vast difference between being Jewish and being "Judaismish," and expresses concern about the danger that relying on non-Messianic Judaism creates for the faithful keeping of Scripture.

Yeshua gave us one main job: to make disciples. So why do so many Christians and Messiah-believers today look and act just like the world? Why don't they more closely resemble Yeshua? Why hasn't the generational passing down of doctrines and traditions been enough? In this episode, Kevin explains why the Body of Messiah has failed to make true disciples of Yeshua, and reveals what we need to start doing right now to fulfill and restore the great commission of discipleship.
