The Book of Enoch Says Enoch is the Messiah
In recent years, the Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) has become increasingly popular among some Christians, with many arguing that it should be regarded as inspired Scripture. While there are several reasons to reject that conclusion, one of the most significant is that the book contradicts...
-
Mary’s Perpetual Virginity, the Sabbath, and the Weight of Tradition
Mary’s perpetual virginity was taught very early and remained the mainstream Christian position for well over a thousand years. Yet most Protestants today reject it because they believe Scripture clearly shows that Mary did not remain a virgin after giving birth to Jesus. I think this history...

DEBATE: Did the Apostles Require Gentiles to Keep Torah in Acts 15? (David Wilber vs. R. L. Solberg)
Did the apostles require Gentile believers to keep the Law of Moses (Torah) in Acts 15? David Wilber and R. L. Solberg debate the Jerusalem Council, the Apostolic Decree, and the biblical role of Torah for Gentile believers. Resources on Acts 15: Frostad, Benjamin. “He Made No Distinction…

Candace Owens is Wrong About the Hebrew Word Goy / Goyim
Candace Owens claimed on the Shawn Ryan podcast that the Hebrew word goy means "cattle." In this video, I explain why she is wrong by looking at the terms goy and goyim in the Hebrew Scriptures. www.davidwilber.com

Does Colossians 2:16–17 Abolish the Sabbath and Festivals?
Did Paul reject the ongoing relevance of the Sabbath and festivals commanded in the Torah? Many people point to Colossians 2:16–17 as proof that he did. However, a growing number of scholars call that interpretation into question. Scholars argue that the Colossian believers actually observed the...
-
The Truth About the Lost Book of Jasher
The Bible mentions several books that have been lost to history. One of these is the Book of Jasher, meaning “one who is upright.” Over the centuries, this book has sparked much curiosity. Some today even argue that it has been rediscovered and ought to be included in the Bible. This video…

In Him You Have Been Filled (Colossians 2)
What does true fulfillment actually look like, and where is it found? In this message on Colossians 2, David Wilber unpacks Paul’s warning against deceptive philosophies that do not align with the Messiah. Instead of chasing ideas and practices that may appear wise but ultimately lack any power…

Tucker Carlson Is Wrong About the Third Temple
In a recent video, Tucker Carlson argued that a future physical temple in Jerusalem would amount to a denial of Christ, claiming that the Bible teaches Jesus replaced the temple entirely. He further claims that anyone who would like to see a future temple is apostate and has missed the whole…

Fixing the Fringe Group Problem (Interview w/ Rabbi Eric Tokajer)
How should non-Jewish believers who are drawn to Torah observance relate to the broader Messianic Jewish movement? In this video, I sit down with Messianic Jewish Rabbi Eric Tokajer to unpack his thought-provoking article, “The Fringe Group Problem.” We discuss what Messianic Judaism is, why many...
-
R. L. Solberg's Flawed Approach to Scripture
In this video, we look at R. L. Solberg’s approach to Scripture by focusing on his mishandling of Matthew 5:17–20. Rather than considering the immediate context, Solberg ignores it completely and appeals to other, unrelated texts to argue that Jesus could not have meant what he said in this...
-
“You Are Elohim”: Two Views of Psalm 82 (Interview w/ Rob Vanhoff)
Psalm 82 declares, “You are gods” (elohim). Jesus quotes this passage in John 10 as he confronts the false shepherds of Israel. Yet the meaning of this Psalm is debated. Who, exactly, are the elohim or “gods” addressed in Psalm 82? In his new book, “You Are Elohim: Two Views of Psalm 82,” Rob...

-
Candace Owens is Wrong About Christians and the Sabbath
Candace Owens rejects the premise of Charlie Kirk’s new book on honoring the Sabbath, saying, “I’m not going to do that because I’m Christian.” But are Sabbath observance and following Christ really mutually exclusive? According to the Bible, they are not. Read the transcript here.
-
Are There Anti-Jewish Passages in the New Testament? (Interview w/ Dr. Igal German)
Do the New Testament writings vilify Jews and Judaism? Sadly, there are professing Christians today who claim they do. To address this error and shed light on several often-misinterpreted passages, I’m joined by Dr. Igal German, a Messianic Jewish scholar and apologist. I’m grateful to have Dr....

The Messiah's Name is Not "Yahusha"
Is the Messiah’s Hebrew name pronounced “Yahusha,” as some modern Sacred Name teachers on the Internet claim? No, it is not. This video looks at the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible to show why that pronunciation is demonstrably false. https://davidwilber.com/
-
Nick Fuentes is Wrong About the Law of Moses, Israel, and the New Testament

-
The Law and the Promise (Interview w/ Jonathan A. Brown)
Is the Law contrary to God’s promise? According to Paul in Galatians 3:21, the answer is no. However, many Christians interpret Paul’s letter to the Galatians in the exact opposite way. Galatians is often regarded as the definitive rejection of Torah observance for believers. But is that view...
-
Timothy Alberino is Wrong about the Son of Man in the Book of Enoch
Timothy Alberino claims that the “Son of Man” passages in the Book of Enoch are prophecies about Jesus and takes this as proof that the Book of Enoch is divinely inspired. However, there is a major problem with that idea: the Book of Enoch explicitly identifies Enoch himself—not Jesus—as the Son…

What is Pronomian Theology?
Pronomian theology, or pronomianism, is a way of reading Scripture that affirms the ongoing authority of God’s Law given through Moses (Torah). In this video, we explore how pronomianism contrasts with antinomianism and how various Christian communities like Messianic Judaism and the Seventh Day...

Jesus and the Law of Moses (Interview w/ Dr. Paul Sloan)
What if Jesus’s disputes with other teachers over the Law of Moses weren’t about criticizing legalism or external rituals? What if, as the authoritative interpreter of the Law, Jesus was actually criticizing misinterpretation and transgression? In his new book, Jesus and the Law of Moses, Dr.…

The Jerusalem Council: Applying the Torah to Gentiles (Acts 15)
Is the Torah (Law of Moses) relevant to Gentile followers of the Messiah? Many say no, citing the Jerusalem Council event in Acts 15 as proof. In this message, David Wilber challenges that common interpretation through a careful reading of this passage within its historical and theological…

Love and the Law: A Pronomian Reading of John 14:15 (Interview w/ Dr. Benjamin Szumskyj)
Jesus told his disciples, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” But what exactly did he mean his commandments? Was he referring only to the commandment to love, only to the teachings given during his earthly ministry, or also to the commandments found in the Torah (Law of Moses)? That…

It is Not "Judaizing" to Agree with the Apostolic Decree
A popular account on X (formerly Twitter) recently labeled me a "Judaizer" for agreeing with the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15:20. Other folks then piled on, calling me satanic, a heretic, and all sorts of other names. In this video, I’ll explain why it is not controversial to believe that the four...

Set Free on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10–17)
In the Gospels, we see that Yeshua (Jesus) often chose to heal people on the Sabbath.

In this message, David Wilber focuses...
-
Did Peter's Vision in Acts 10 Abolish God's Food Laws? (Interview w/ R. M. Bailey)
Did God revoke his food laws? Did he abolish the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Many argue that he did based on Peter’s vision in Acts chapter 10. However, recent scholarship is challenging that interpretation. In his new book, "Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to...

There Was No Conspiracy to Suppress the Book of Enoch | A Response to Tim Alberino
In this video, I respond to several claims made by Tim Alberino, including the assertion that the Jews deliberately excluded the Book of Enoch from their canon because it testified of Jesus. Hope it blesses you!
-
"Nothing is Unclean"? Examining Romans 14:14 (Interview w/ Rob Vanhoff)
What did Paul mean in Romans 14:14 when he wrote, "nothing is unclean in itself"? Did he believe that the Torah's distinction between clean and unclean food had been erased? Or is he talking about something else entirely? Joining me today to discuss this is Rob Vanhoff. He is a biblical scholar,...
-
Does the Torah Speak to the Value of the Unborn? (Interview w/ Dr. Carmen Imes)
What does the Torah say about the value of the unborn? There is an interesting law in Exodus 21:22-25 that speaks to this question. Joining me to discuss this is Dr. Carmen Imes, an Old Testament scholar, author, and associate professor at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. Connect with...

The Truth About the Talmud

Paul Does Not Condemn the Biblical Calendar in Galatians 4:10 | A Response to Steven Anderson
In Galatians 4:8–11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for observing “days and months and seasons and years.” What exactly does Paul mean by this phrase? The standard antinomian view, represented by Pastor Steven Anderson, is that this is a reference to the biblical calendar outlined in the Law of…

Is Passover Offensive to Christ? | A Response to Joel Webbon
Does observing Passover offend Christ? According to Joel Webbon, it does. In a recent video, Webbon and his friends criticized Christians who observed Passover and accused them of denying the sufficiency of Christ's work. Here is my response.

Ian Carroll is Wrong about the Scofield Bible
Ian Carroll recently claimed that the Rothschild family commissioned Cyrus Scofield to create a new, pro-Jewish version of the Bible—the “Scofield Bible”—to dupe evangelicals into supporting Israel and the Jewish people. The problem, however, is that Carroll’s theory has zero evidence and is…

-
Sabbath-Keeping Baptists? Meet the Seventh Day Baptists (Interview w/ Nicholas J. Kersten)
It is widely acknowledged that the earliest Christians observed the seventh-day Sabbath in obedience to the Fourth Commandment. What is less often acknowledged is that there have always been Christian communities that continued to honor the seventh-day Sabbath throughout history. One such…

Meeting Paul the Weird Apostle (Interview w/ Ryan Lambert)
Should we make Paul "weird" again? My guest Ryan Lambert argues that we should. But what does that mean? In his new book, "The Weird Apostle," Ryan invites us to rediscover the historical Paul, a faithful Torah observant Jew. While this picture of Paul might feel "weird" from a modern Western...

The Apostle James Understood the Gospel. Matt McMillen Does Not.

Keep Torah Better Than the Scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20)
Jesus taught that the Law of Moses is not abolished (Matthew 5:17), that it will remain in force for as long as heaven and earth endure (Matthew 5:18), and that his followers must obey and teach it (Matthew 5:19). Now, in Matthew 5:20, he demands that his followers surpass the righteousness of…

Do and Teach the Torah's Commandments (Matthew 5:19)
After declaring that he did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them, and that the whole Law of Moses will remain in effect as long as heaven and earth exist (Matthew 5:17-18), Jesus urges his followers to obey and teach the Torah’s commandments (Matthew 5:19). In this...
-
Understanding Hebrews: A Post-Supersessionist Approach (Interview w/ D. Thomas Lancaster)

James, Paul, and the the Law of Moses in Acts 21:20-26 (Interview w/ Dr. G. Scott McKenzie)
Did the apostle Paul teach believers to abandon the Law of Moses? In Acts 21, we see a rumor circulating that he did, which prompts James to propose a plan for Paul to debunk this rumor and set the record straight. What does this passage reveal about Paul’s stance on the Law of Moses? My guest…

The Old Testament Law for Christians (Interview w/ Dr. Richard Averbeck)
Is the Old Testament Law—the Torah—relevant to Christians today? Many Christians don’t believe that it is. In fact, some modern teachers argue that the Mosaic Law’s expiration date was the arrival of Christ. And now that Christ died on the cross, they say that the Law is no longer in effect. But…

Did Jesus Invalidate the Torah's Food Laws in Mark 7:1-23? (Interview w/ Dr. Logan Williams)
Did Jesus abolish the distinction between permitted (clean) and prohibited (unclean) food in the Torah? Many say that he did based on his interaction with the Pharisees in Mark 7:1-23. In this passage, Jesus says that nothing that goes into a person can defile him (Mark 7:15). Also, in most…

Sin Sacrifices: A Question That “Topples” Torah Observance?
Messianic Jews and other Pronomian (Pro-Law) Christians believe that the Law of Moses is a vital part of our faith practice. However, not everyone agrees with this perspective. One prominent critic of this theology claims to have devised a single yes or no question that “topples” what he calls...

Until Heaven & Earth Pass Away, the Law of Moses Will Stay (Matthew 5:18)
Did Jesus bring the Law of Moses to an end, or did he want his followers to obey it?
