    The Council of Nicaea was (Mostly) a Good Thing

    We dispel common myths about the Council of Nicaea and express gratitude for the Church successfully defending the deity of Yeshua in the face of a very influential heretic named Arian. We also talk about the decision to disconnect Easter and Passover (which I think is okay!). 00:00 - Introduction 3:15 - What did NOT happen at the Council of Nicaea 5:42 - Historical Context of the Council of Nicaea 7:39 - Who was Emperor Constantine? 12:43 - About the Council of Nicaea 17:00 - The Council Disconnecting Passover and Easter 31:22 - Who was Arius? 34:12 - Arguing with Arius 42:12 - The Nicene Creed 46:50 - A Messianic Jewish take on the Nicene Creed 49:20 - What is the Trinity? 57:18 - The Beauty of the Nicene Creed and the Shema; The Church and Messianic Judaism 1:04:25 - We should appreciate the Church You can also watch on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Social Media:     ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribestar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Thank You Church for Defending the Tanakh

    Marcion was the "arch-heretic" who argued there is a good god and an evil god, the Tanakh (the Old Testament) is not scripture, and edited portions of the New Testament. He was the first influential heretic that the Church had to guard a biblical understand of God and the Tanakh as God's word. The Messianic Jewish community should appreciate the Church for successfully defending God and His scripture.

    Romans Road to Messianic Judaism

    We walk through Romans to see why the Messianic Jewish community has come to exist and what our purpose is as a community. We focus on texts in Romans 1, 3, 9, 11, and 15.

    Connecting Passover, Isaiah 53, and the Gospel

    Isaiah draws from the story of Passover in Isaiah 52 and 53. The New Testament portrays Jesus as our Passover Lamb and the suffering servant of Isaiah 53. Gain a deeper understanding of the gospel message as told by the Tanakh and New Testament and find out an amazing connection to the shankbone of the Passover seder and the 'arm of the Lord'! ______________________    You can also watch on our ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel Follow us on Social Media:     ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on ⁠⁠⁠Subscribestar⁠⁠⁠     We also have ⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠ ______________________ Music: ⁠⁠https://www.bensound.com

    The Shema in the New Testament

    The Shema is central to the New Testament. Jesus says the Shema is the most important commandment and uses the Shema to make claims about his identity. He also wears ritual objects associated with the Shema, like tzitzit. The Shema is also central to Paul's theology about the community of Messiah and it was used in early liturgy of the Jesus-following community. For more on this topic: Lori Baron, The Shema in John's Gospel Erik Waaler, The Shema and the First Commandment in First Corinthians Richard Bauckham, “The Shema and 1 Corinthians 8:6 Again,” in One God, One People, One Future: Essays in Honor of N.T.

    Is the New Testament Antisemitic? (Inspiring Philosophy interview)

    Michael Jones, from one of the largest Christian apologetics YouTube channels, Inspiring Philosophy, interviewed us on the topic: "Is the New Testament Antisemitic?" This message is particularly timely, given the increasing prevalence of Jew-hatred worldwide. Sadly, Christian antisemitism is also a reality, and in this interview, we address the challenging passages that antisemites cite to argue that the New Testament promotes Jew-hatred. We cover Matthew 27:24–26; John 8:44; Revelation 2:9; 3:9; Matthew 23:33; 1 Thessalonians 2:14–16; and Philippians 3:2. Make sure to check out ⁠Inspiring Philosophy! It is an excellent channel that we have been watching for years.

    Was Jesus Like Jonah? A Yom Kippur D'rash

    What similarities and differences can we notice when comparing the story of Jonah with Jesus calming the storm in Matthew 8? How does making this comparison show that Jesus was recognized as the Messiah? Join us for this Yom Kippur D'rash! Jonah 1:1-6 (1) And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, (2) “Get up and go[1] to the great city of Ninevah and cry out against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.” (3) But Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord and he went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish and he paid his fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, [away][2] from the presence of the Lord. (4) And the Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was at risk[3] to break into pieces. (5) And the sailors were afraid, and each man cried out to his god and they threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the load from upon them[4] and Jonah went down to the innermost parts[5] of the ship and he laid down and fell into a deep sleep. (6) And the captain came to him and said to him, “What are you doing sleeping? Get up! Call on your god! Perhaps your god will give a thought to us so that we do not perish.” 1 NIV and NRSV translate קוּם לֵךְ as “Go at once” and this could be translated as ‘Arise’ (BDB, 877). But I chose ‘Get up and go’ to contrast the prophetic call more clearly with the ironic remarks of Jonah ‘going down’ to Tarshish (1:3), into the ship (1:3, 5) in his disobedience. 2 I chose to insert “away” to draw out the movement of the ship going the opposite direction the Lord called Jonah to go. 3 BDB recommends translating הָאֳנִיָה חִשְּׁבָה לְּׁהִשָבֵֵֽר as “the ship was about to (minded to) be broken up” (363). Considering חִשְּׁבָה is in the piel, and thus intensive, I said “at risk” because it communicates the high stakes of the moment more effectively. NET notes that this would be translated literally as “the ship considered breaking up” but considering it is an idiom, I translated it to communicate its meaning, rather than word for word. 4 NIV translates לְּׁהָקֵל מֵֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם as “to lighten the ship.” I wanted to bring out more fully the sense of מֵֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם so I followed BDB which recommends, “make light from upon one” (886). 5 NIV translates יָרַד אֶל־יַרְּׁכְּׁתֵי הַסְּׁפִינָה as “had gone below deck” and NRSV translates it as “had gone into the hold of the ship.” I chose the more literal “went down to the innermost parts” because, once again, it emphasizes the movement downwards/away from Jonah’s call to “get up and go” (1:2). I think reminding the reader of this theme is more crucial to the message of Jonah than accurately describing the ship. ______________________    You can also watch on our ⁠YouTube channel⁠     Follow us on Social Media:     ⁠ Facebook ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on ⁠Subscribestar⁠     We also have ⁠PayPal⁠ ______________________ Music: https://www.bensound.com

  8. Paul's Name NEVER Changed

    24/09/2023

    Paul's Name NEVER Changed

    Have you ever heard the claim that Saul's name was changed to Paul on the road to Damascus? Do Christians tell you that this name changed symbolized not only a dramatic personal transformation but also Paul's turn away from Judaism in favor of Christianity? I read through Acts 9 and Acts 13 to show that Paul's name was never changed from Saul and give an alternative explanation for why Luke shifts to use "Paul" after Acts 13:9. Thanks for joining and share it with your Christian friends!   Christian's who debunk this myth:   Got Questions Gary Manning Jr.   Dr. Greg Lanier ______________________    You can also watch on our YouTube channel     Follow us on Social Media:      Facebook Instagram If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on Subscribestar     We also have PayPal ______________________ Music: https://www.bensound.com
