The world’s ‘churches’ are following the Nicolaitan model of ‘church governance’. Nicolaitan literally means ‘controlling the people’ and it unfortunately took root in spite of Yeshua’s warnings in Revelation 2 and 3, and it set the foundation for ‘clergy’ versus ‘laity’. Do you see the suffix of ‘Nicolaitan’ in that last word?  For three hundredContinue reading “The Biblical Model for Congregational Governance”

  Are we saved by keeping commandments? We emphatically declare, “No!” Are we not saved if we do not keep commandments?  We emphatically declare, “Possibly!” Why? Because a saved person loves God, and keeps His commandments out of that love, and out of gratitude, and out of the guidance of Messiah Yeshua and the restContinue reading “Torah observance vs. Gospel Freedom”

This was sent to me yesterday: Asked ChatGPT: Of all the many denominations of Jews and Christians who say they believe the Bible, what would be the most likely group to be true to the WHOLE Bible? ChatGPT said: That’s a very thoughtful and profound question — and one that has been debated for centuriesContinue reading “Logical Summary of “Who we are” without bias”

Everyone should be happy that the Israeli War in Gaza is over. I am. I am most happy that the surviving captors were returned alive to their families, and that is something we must all rejoice over. But, we cannot forget those that died. Not just the hostages, but the casualties from the viscious andContinue reading “Genocide Batakhat Sh’li”

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””
