If someone has read the previous articles in this series, they might assume the conclusion is that Yeshua was “just a man.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The Scriptures present Yeshua as utterly unique. There has never been another like Him. There never will be. Before Abraham was born, the Son already existed with the Father. Before theContinue reading “Who Is the Son of God?”

There are few questions more important than this one. Who is “the only true God”? The answer should not come from centuries of theological debate. It should come from the Scriptures themselves. Remarkably, the Bible answers this question very, very plainly. And the first answer comes from Yeshua. As He prayed to His Father on the nightContinue reading “Who Is “the Only True God”?”

One of the simplest ways to understand who Yeshua is is to ask a simple question: When the apostles introduced Him to people who had never heard of Him before, what did THEY actually say? No one in antiquity understood Yeshua better than the apostles. The book of Acts records the first sermons ever preachedContinue reading “Who Did the Apostles Preach?”

Words matter. If we truly love Yeshua, then we should strive to speak about Him the way the Scriptures speak about Him. Throughout the Bible, we repeatedly read that God sent His Son, gave His Son, raised His Son, exalted His Son, and made Him both יהוה and Messiah [Acts 2:36]. Yeshua Himself continually spokeContinue reading “Are We Speaking About Yeshua the Way Scripture Does?”

Why I Continue to Keep the Sabbath People occasionally ask why I continue to observe the Sabbath and the appointed times of Scripture. The answer is not because I am trying to earn salvation. It is not because I believe Gentiles must become Jews. It is not because I think keeping commandments can replace faith inContinue reading “Refreshments: Why I Still Keep the Sabbath”

  יהוה is The Name of God. His Name appears nearly 7,000 times in the Tanakh. Scripture does not treat this as incidental. The Name is woven into covenant, worship, prayer, deliverance, prophecy, kingship, judgment, mercy, and redemption itself. Even within the Aramaic tradition of the New Testament/Peshitta, “Marya” remains deeply present as a reverentialContinue reading “The Name That Scripture Refuses to Hide”

  The prevailing scholarly consensus holds that the Renewed Covenant Scripture/New Testament was composed in Koine Greek, with the Peshitta (the standard Syriac/Aramaic version used in Eastern churches) representing a later translation more likely from the 3rd to 5th centuries AD. This view does have strong evidence like patristic citations and linguistic analysis. The patristicContinue reading “Aramaic and Greek Primacy in the New Testament: A Balanced Reappraisal”

The books commonly called the “Catholic Apocrypha” or “Deuterocanonical Books” — such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, 1–2 Maccabees, and additions to Esther and Daniel — were generally not accepted into the Hebrew canon by most Jewish communities, nor by most early believers, for several major reasons. First, the question ofContinue reading “The Issue Is Not Secrecy — It Is Authority”

At Mikdash Meh’at and the Messianic Peshitta Fellowship, we confess without hesitation that יהוה alone is the one true God — the Creator of heaven and earth, the Holy One of Yisra’el, the God of Avraham, Yitz’khak, and Ya’akov. We also confess with equal conviction that Yeshua the Messiah is divine, eternal, preexistent, proceeded forthContinue reading “The Divine Son of God: Clarifying What We Mean About Yeshua”

Many believers today assume that truth must always sound exactly like the language developed in the fourth and fifth centuries. Yet when we examine the earliest post-apostolic writers—men such as Polycarp, Ignatius of Antioch, and Papias of Hierapolis—we find something much more organic, scriptural, and Hebraic in tone than the later theological systems that eventuallyContinue reading “Before the Councils: The Hebraic and Scriptural World of the Earliest Believers”
