Translators & ‘the lying pen of the scribes…’ Pt.2

A couple days ago I posted the first in this occasional series… Today, we follow up with another example of clear translator bias that leads to false theology or wrong understanding of Scripture. Let’s look at Acts 7:38. This is … Continue reading

The Remez Gospel

So, I was reading in the Gospel of John, when I saw a ‘picture’ I had never seen before. One of the really cool things I have learned as I have grown in this Hebraic walk, is that there is … Continue reading

Shoftim: Defining the Messiah

This week’s Torah potion is fascinating in that it offers several very clear pictures concerning our Moshiach.  We see pictures of Him as judge, king and the most famous and clear picture, as prophet.  There is a shadow of Him … Continue reading

Love = Loyalty. Do you LOVE Him?

Y’shua said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Have you ever stopped to ponder what the word ‘love’ means in this context? Currently, our fellowship (as well as all Messianic and/or Jewish fellowships the world over) is/are … Continue reading

Church Signs and Errant Theology

Admittedly, theology is particularly hard to boil into modern culture’s penchant for ‘sound bytes.’  Generally, they do not turn into sound theological bites.  Recently, a church very close to the fellowship I help lead had some interesting material on their … Continue reading
