There’s a big difference between appreciating the Jewish roots of the faith and believing Christians are required to keep Old Covenant law.
In this conversation, we talk about where that line is — and how to tell when something that may be enriching becomes something that feels mandatory.
We unpack the difference between Messianic Jews and Torah-keeping movements, why Gentiles were never commanded to keep Israel’s ceremonial laws, and the key question that helps reveal whether you’re looking at healthy conviction or a red flag.
The issue isn’t studying the Old Testament.
The issue is when “you can” quietly becomes “you must.”
