Episode 656: Love and Torah | Part 47

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.As he continues in Ephesians chapter 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson untangles the understanding that many have concerning disobedience, sin, covenant and what it looks like to truly love Messiah Yeshua.• What are “empty words”?• What does it mean to be “a partaker with them”?• Who are you to “have no fellowship with”?From there Rabbi Berkson takes us to 1 Timothy chapter 1 and explains how some have missed the goal of the command given by Paul to his disciple from a clean heart, a good conscience and a sincere belief, and have turned aside to senseless talk, some actually teaching that the Torah no longer applies to us today, just that we believe and love Messiah.Then Rabbi Berkson moves us to 2 Peter chapter 1 where we see Peter telling us that we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by the righteousness of our Elohim and Savior Messiah Yeshua. Rabbi Berkson also points out that belief in Elohim and His Messiah is just the foundation, and that you need to “add” to that foundation with certain things.• What is “Kingdom Access”?Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
