The Messianic Torah Observer

That which separates Christianity and the Hebrew Roots community is the subject of Grace and the Law. This series will examine both sides of the argument.

The Christian perspective on the topic of Biblical Inspiration is nebulous at best. In this episode, I examine the Protestant and Evangelical views of Biblical Inspiration, laying a foundation for our understanding of the Bible in future installments of this series. 

In this Torah Living Daily Challenge, the challenge posed to us by Father is to avoid or reject even an intellectual curiosity into the idolatrous ways of the pagan nations of Canaan. We were warned to not be taken by those whose prophectic utterances came true but whose teachings sought to sway us away from Torah. We were admonished to cling to the Father in the midst of a perverted and corrupt world. These are not easy tasks. Curiosity about the things of the world around can prove to be a snare. These tendencies must be resisted and we must cling to Father and His Torah. Failure to do so will result in our ultimate peril. 

Why did Father drill in our heads in anticipation of entering the land of promise--over and over--the idea of blessings to be had if we abided in His Torah and curses if we strayed from His Torah? I have some thoughts and relfections to share that may shed some light on this subject as well as a challenge to every believer in Y'shua Messiah.

Matthew 4 and Luke 4 record Satan's tempting of Y'shua (Jesus) in the wilderness and how Y'shua was able to overcome those temptations. This event provides the Torah observing believer in Y'shua Messiah with an example and prescription for defeating Satan and his temptations. I discuss this crucial issue along with some other thoughts and reflections on this Sabbath Day.

The Bride of Christ (Messiah) Part 2 is the second part of a two-part discussion between Hilary and Rod on the subject. Who or what is the Bride of Christ (Messiah)? This is the central question that demands an answer that most believers are not clear on. 

What did Shaul and John mean when they made reference to the bride of Christ? Were they referring to the Church Triumphant? Were they referring to individual born again Christians? Hilary and I discuss this important element of our Faith in the first of a two-part series entitled the Bride of Christ. 

As Messianic Believer in Y'shua we have our own independence to celebrate. Yet that document which declared our declaration has been compromised by mistranslations, misinterpretations and misapplication. In this episode, I admonish the community to take back that independence--that freedom--that was given to us by Y'shua. However, that freedom, that independence may not be what most Christians think it to be.

This week SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) legalized same sex marriage in all 50-States of union; a week ago, a crazed, seeming racist young man shot and killed 9 men and women attending a bible study in a black-church in Charleston S.C.; last month rioters looted and decimated Baltimore Maryland in response to the death of a young black man at the hands of Baltimore City Police officers; Islamic State fighters continue to make progress in Iraq and Syria as they leave a trail of blood and horror in their wake; ongoing European economic woes are leading the European Union down a path whereby its citizens will have limited access to their hard earned money—that is, the governments of the west will seize full control of every penny in their nations’ banks and the citizens of the world stand the chance of working solely for the economic well-being of their country while they live out the rest of their lives penniless and destitute; racial tensions continue to percolate in the United States in response to a proliferation of news reports on mainstream media outlets of white on black murders while white on white, black on black and black on white crimes go unnoticed by these same media outlets; the Bilderburg cabal met at a posh Austria resort 2-weeks ago to discuss and enact what most believe to be a globalist agenda. Meanwhile, the world’s citizens, especially in the west, in great part, goes about their day-to-day lives, oblivious of the things—the evil things—that are transpiring around them. These things, though they may not be directly impacting them at the moment, will have an immeasurable impact on everyone sometime in the near future. Yes, there is evil in this world dear Saints and there is especially evil in our day. Grab yourself a cup of joe or tea, settle in and let’s hash this thing out while we still can as a free people.
