Show #526 - The Priesthood Description In this episode, we welcome Rob back for a discussion on the priesthood. Starting in Jeremiah 31, we move through several texts that describe the future kingdom with a priesthood once again established on earth. Is this metaphorical as some have suggested? Or is there to be a priesthood on earth again? Also, a look at Hebrews 8.13 and the fact that “covenant” is not found in this verse. Finally, a discussion on 1 Peter 2 and what it means that we are to be a nation of priests.  Time Stamps (for YouTube Video) • 4:48 Start • 15:44 Jeremiah 31 • 31:57 Hebrews 8:13 • 41:35 What did the Priests do during exile? • 44:51 1 Peter 2 Links Become and Executive ProducerTorahResource Pronomian ConferenceTR Learning Center Executive Producers Bob & Larue Miller, Lee & Vivian Eagen, Erna Draper, Bobby Keicher, John Coulthard, Michael McClure, Micah Smith, Bryan Dillard.

Show #525 - Salvation and Passover Description In this episode, we first look at a take on salvation that attempts to couple calvinism and arminian theology. This idea suggests that the Bible teaches two salvations, one for national Israel and one for individual people. We look at this from a biblical perspective to see if it holds up. Then we turn to a video by a Lutheran teacher who discusses his view of the Lord’s Supper as something totally different from the Passover and why this view has major problems.  Time Stamps (for YouTube Video) 2:21 Start5:53 National and Individual Salvation21:30 Problems with this view33:05 Last Supper and Passover46:45 Clean Break?

Show #524 - Covenant Theology Description In this episode, we look a the ins and outs of covenant theology. We start by looking at the basic foundations of this theology, then we move to some of the issues that covenant theology has when it comes to coherent biblical interpretation, finally, we look at the various views of physical Israel and if those who hold to covenant theology believe in replacement theology or not.  Time Stamps (for YouTube Video) • 2:32 Start • 6:13 Tongues and 1Cor. 14.2• 19:41 What is Covenant Theology?• 34:11 Covenant and Punishment• 41:14 Covenant Theology and the Torah Links Become and Executive ProducerTorahResource Pronomian ConferenceTR Learning Center Executive Producers Bob & Larue Miller, Lee & Vivian Eagen, Erna Draper, Bobby Keicher, John Coulthard, Michael McClure, Micah Smith, Bryan Dillard.

Show #523 - No Longer of Works? Description In this episode, we discuss a video by someone who claims that believers need to be reading the book of Enoch and should pray to see if God wants them to do so. Then we move to a discussion about Romans 11.6, why does Paul say “No longer of works…” instead of “not of works?” Also a discussion on traveling on the Sabbath and images in worship. Executive Producer: Bob & Larue Miller, Lee & Vivian Eagen, Erna Draper, John Coulthard, Michael McClure, Micah Smith, Shane and Ruth Anne Lunderville, Bryan Dillard.

Show #522 - Dispensationalism Description In this episode, we first look at a video that talks about the foundation of our faith being Christ. This is true, but we look at the Torah as the true reflection of God’s holiness and how this is the reflection of Christ as well. Then we look at dispensationalism. We discuss the various dispensations and look at several videos from dispensational scholars and ask if this is really how the Bible presents sanctification.

Show #521 - The Millennium Description In this episode, we take a look at an email that asks where the Scripture prophecy Gentiles coming to Torah observance. This leads into a discussion on the various views of the millennium. We take a short look at Historic PreMil, Dispensational PreMil, AMil, and PostMil theology.

Show #520 - Reformed and Messianic? Description In this episode, I first discuss the journey of identity in the Torah movement I have had and how I think some have misunderstood this exploration. Some have said I am coming back to “Messianic Judaism.” I explore this concept and discuss my journey in Torah observance. After that, I move to reformed theology and what this looks like as it is coupled with Torah observance. What is reformed theology? Does it line up with Torah observance? And are there things that I reject within reformed theology as a Torah observant believer?

Show #519 - Who is Israel Description In this video, we dive into the timeless question: Who is Israel? We trace the origins of the nation from the twelve sons of Jacob and examine modern Israel to determine if it remains the biblical nation or has evolved into something distinct. Drawing from Romans 9, we explore the concept of the remnant of Israel as God’s covenant people, beyond just a nation or ethnic group. We propose that believers in Yeshua don’t replace Israel but join its remnant through “Enlargement Theology.” Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, identity, and God’s covenant!

Show #518 - Unclean Description In this video, we dive into two thought-provoking questions from our viewers about Acts 10 and early Christian practices. First, we explore a question about Peter’s dream and whether it implies that Cornelius was ritually clean, rendering the temple purity laws obsolete. Then, we address another question: Is there evidence that the early Christian Church was Torah observant? Join us as we unpack biblical texts and historical insights to show that many early Christians remained faithful to Torah observance.

Show #517 - Cohesion Description In this insightful video, we dive into a thoughtful discussion addressing common misinterpretations of Romans 14:23 and Galatians 3:12, where some claim these verses suggest the Torah is obsolete. We carefully unpack why this reasoning falls short and provide a clear, logical explanation to clarify the role of the Torah. Additionally, we explore questions surrounding Yeshua’s death on the cross and its connection to the sacrificial system, shedding light on the purpose and significance of sacrifices in the physical world. Join us for a deep dive into these biblical topics, offering clarity and perspective for those seeking a deeper understanding of scripture.

Show #515 - Shavuot Description Join us in this eye-opening episode as we dive deep into the controversial “Aleph Tav” theology, unpacking why we believe it’s rooted in a misunderstanding of the Hebrew language. We also explore Acts 2, examining where the disciples might have been when the Holy Spirit descended. Plus, we take a critical look at the Book of Jasher—often claimed to be the one referenced in the Bible, despite its medieval origins. Finally, we share practical tips on engaging with those who hold sensational theological views with passion but lack solid grounding. How should believers approach these conversations with grace and truth? Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion!

Show #515 - Shavuot Description In this episode, we discuss Daniel 9.27 and if this shows that the sacrificial system has been done away with, then we move to a discussion about Shavuot (Pentecost) and how we should celebrate this festival. Finally, we look at Hebrews 4 and the traditional interpretation that the writer of Hebrews is saying the Sabbath has been done away with.

Show #514 - The Whole Law Description In this episode, we look at Galatians 5.3 and discuss what exactly is going on here. The traditional interpretation by the main stream Christian Church is that Paul is instructing the Galatians that they should not even think of becoming physically circumcised. This view contends that Paul is attempting to state the Pharisaic teaching of circumcision so the Galatians will have nothing to do with it. Yet, this interpretation does not line up with the rest of Scripture.We go to give a different interpretation, one that even Messianic and Torah observant believers seem to have overlooked. This interpretation helps Galatians 5.3 fall nicely into place within the entirety of the book and line up with the Law of God and the “law of Christ.” Time Stamps • 3:29 Start• 9:23 Announcement!• 21:04 Galatians 5.3 Links Become and Executive ProducerTorahResource Pronomian ConferenceTR Learning Center Executive Producers Bob & Larue Miller, Lee & Vivian Eagen, Erna Draper, Bobby Keicher, John Coulthard, Michael McClure, Micah Smith, Bryan Dillard The post Show #514 – The “Whole Law” appeared first on Messiah Matters.

Show #513 - Is Faith Belief? Description In this episode, we look at John 6.28-29 and discuss if faith is the only thing we need. If this is the case then we don’t need to keep Torah as belief in God is the only thing that matters. We challenge this view and contend that faith is much more than simply believing something.We also discuss Michael Heiser’s Divine Council theory and how we believe Heiser was off on this suggestion. We also discuss 1Cor. 11 and what exactly is going on in this passage.

Show #512 - Religion of Men Description In this episode, we start by looking at the Jewish tradition of setting a place for Elijah at the Passover table and singing Elijah the Prophet at Havdallah. Then we move to a discussion about Galatians 4:8-11 and what exactly is going on. Is Paul talking about the biblical festivals as so many Christians believe.We then move to a discussion Deuteronomy 24.16, Ezekiel 18.20 and how this is used by non-believing Jews in an attempt to prove Yeshua is not the Messiah.

Show #511 - Shadows Description In this episode, we discuss a video put out by Right Response Ministries in which the hosts claim that it is a sin for Christians to celebrate things like Passover because this is just a shadow of a heavenly reality. But is this line of reasoning a legitimate biblical argument? Not only do we disagree with this idea, but we show how the Scriptures disagree with such an idea.If it were wrong to observe the shadows of heavenly realities, then why does Paul go to the temple in Acts 21? Why would we still practice baptism or marriage? If celebrating a picture is offensive to the thing it is a picture of then why would we celebrate wedding anniversaries, or birthdays?
