Okay, okay, I know…everyone calls Yeshua (Jesus) the Savior, but what does the “savior” do? When we define a savior, Yeshua doesn’t completely fill the bill. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. A savior is someone who saves others, mostly used when
We have all heard that the word of the Lord never returns unfulfilled, but does the word ever not return? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Let’s look at the entire statement, Isaiah 55:10-12 (CJB): “For just as rain and snow fall
Depending on the version you read, Shaul refers to the Torah (Galatians 3:24) as either a guardian, custodian, or even as a schoolmaster (KJV). But whatever which way that Greek word was interpreted, it shows that the Torah was all we had at that time to teach us how to
Too often I have heard people say that all they need to be saved is faith in Christ, but then James said that faith without works is dead. They say Jesus did away with the law, but if that is true, doesn’t that lead to the conclusion that through Jesus,
Is anyone still there? I figured the title alone would get many, if not most, Christians to skip this. I am a Jewish man who also believes that Yeshua is the Messiah God promised to send, but despite what my Jewish brothers and sisters would say, and most Christians, as
There are many statements about salvation, one of the best-known being “All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Joel 2:32) And in the New Covenant, we are told that all who believe in Jesus will be saved (Romans 10:9) But what is being “saved”? If
I know, I know… the Jews rejected Jesus, which is why only Christians are saved. But did the Jews really reject him? And are the Christians really saved? If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. Let’s think about this for a minute: we
If you are wondering where I have been for the past two weeks, Donna and I were vacationing in Ireland. We had a great time, and later I will post a video of our travels you can watch from my website. You will find it under the Picture Album tab.
We read and hear about God’s Grace all the time; it may describe an action from God, it can also describe a prayer said before a meal, but it is not forgiveness. When we read or hear about “God’s Grace”, it is usually associated with forgiveness, which leads to salvation,
Throughout the Bible, we see that the way the kings of Israel and Judea (Northern and Southern kingdoms, respectively) worshipped was forced upon the people, and when the kings did what was right in God’s eyes, they were all blessed; but, when the kings did what was wrong in God’s
Before we can determine if Christianity is wrong, we should identify what the words “Christianity” and “wrong” represent. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. I looked at a few definitions of Christianity on the Internet, and this one seems to be the
According to the Tanakh, every tenth animal under the hook is to be holy for Adonai (Lev. 27:30), yet many Christian religions say that tithing is not required anymore. If you prefer to watch a video, click on this link: Watch the video. But if tithing isn’t required, how do
God told Abraham that the world will be blessed by his descendants (Genesis 22:18), and that has come to be, just as God said it would. But that blessing has also painted a big, red target on our backs throughout the millennia. If you prefer to watch a video, click
Sadly, most Christian religions (and there are certainly enough of them!) have taught their followers that the Torah is just for Jews, and that it is made up of laws and requirements that they, as followers of Jesus, don’t have to obey. They seem to totally ignore the fact that
I know, I know- you have always been told that Yeshua (Jesus) is your Savior, and if you call on his name, you will be saved, your sins will be forgiven, you will be cleansed, yadda-yadda-yadda. Well, it takes a lot more than that. If you prefer to watch a
For those of you who are wondering, “What the heck is a LIFO?”, it is an accounting system for calculating the cost of goods being sold to determine the profit margin. Last In, First Out (LIFO) means that you calculate your profit based on how much it cost to produce
Of course, Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Passover Lamb, but that isn’t really the full description what his sacrifice provided. In fact, his sacrifice not only served to provide the means for us to be forgiven of our sins, but consequently, also allows us to commune with the Almighty. If
Before the Messiah was sent to us, we were given the Torah to identify what sin was, and we had the sacrificial system and the temple in Jerusalem to provide us the means for being forgiven when we did sin. But after the temple was destroyed, things changed. If you
God told us how to worship him, which Holy Days he wants us to observe, and how to treat each other. he did all that right at the very beginning of the bible, in those first 5 books, called the Torah. So why is it that the vast majority of
From a biblical viewpoint, “fear of the Lord” doesn’t mean that we are afraid of him, rather that we worship him. But when we do that, are we doing it because we want to, or because we are afraid of what someone else may think if we don’t? If you
