It is not often that a person who has been around for more than a quarter or a half a century can admit error, or confess wrong, or change. But, after months of regular fasting and praying, we are starting to see ‘change’. We have been praying that God would make His People humble, andContinue reading “A Change of Heart”

Since the reestablishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have endured a relentless campaign of hostility, propaganda, and physical assault from surrounding Arab nations and terror movements. Yet, in every generation, Israel’s survival has stood as both a testimony to history and, many would say, a miracle of divine providence. AtContinue reading “Israel’s Survival: History, Prophecy, and the Truth Behind the ‘Genocide’ Narrative”

Charlie Kirk was indeed one of a kind. He was courageous. He thought independently. He spoke out. He was a representatitive of the Kingdom of Messiah, and a good one. And I am grateful for the outpouring of honor shown in response to Kirk’s assassination. Many have lifted their voices in worship, giving glory toContinue reading “Honoring Charlie Kirk: A Legacy of Courage, Faith, and the Biblical Sabbath”

  It’s a common charge you hear today: “The Catholic Church changed the Bible to hide the truth.” But when we look at the actual evidence—both in history and in the manuscripts themselves—that claim simply doesn’t hold water. The real story is much more complex, and much more affirming of God’s faithfulness to preserve HisContinue reading “Did the Catholic Church Change the Bible? A Messianic Perspective”

  The commonly accepted image or object for depicting and discussing the death of Yeshua is the Latin cross, two beams intersecting at right angles, where the cross piece is just above midway. This symbol is powerful and deeply ingrained in western society, yet the language of the earliest Scriptures presents a more complex andContinue reading “The Execution of Yeshua: A Tree of Life (not a cross)”

  I recently heard a very respected [rightfully so] scholar, who may be considered an apologist comment on the fact that the Bible does not call Jesus “God”. [I don’t know him very well, and cannot remember his name, but I do respect his scholarship and his commitment] His position was that it took theContinue reading ““From Hebrew to Greek: How Language Created the Trinity Doctrine””

Abstract Isaac Newton, though remembered chiefly as a mathematician and natural philosopher, devoted enormous energy to theology. Central to his theological work was a critical engagement with the doctrine of the Trinity. Newton regarded the Nicene and Athanasian formulas not as scriptural truths but as later corruptions imposed upon the faith. This article situates Newton’sContinue reading “Isaac Newton and the Problem of the Trinity: Exegesis, History, and Heresy”

I read an extra Tehilla this morning, and the following came to mind. That is the one referenced herein. It is difficult for me not to try to expound the ‘whole’ concept of Salvation in the Tanak [OT], and doing so in one sitting would be a monumental effort. But, in the interest of time,Continue reading “Salvation in the “old testament,” and the role of the sacrifices and commands in our lives….”

  The question is, should Sabbath keepers go out to eat on Shabbat.  That is a question that should not be answered with a mere yes or no.  The short answer is “we are not Rabbinic”.  Our Mishnah, the Renewed Covenant letters, tells us: “He who says “I am in Him” ought himself also toContinue reading “Shabbat “Rules””

The concept that salvation (or righteousness) is by faith, and that faith prompts obedience to God’s commands, is rooted deeply in the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh/Old Testament). While the term “salvation by faith” becomes more developed in the New Testament, its foundation is unmistakably present in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. Below are keyContinue reading “Walk By Faith is an “Old Testament” concept!”
