A Response to Messiah Matters on Olam in the TorahThe Beginning Of Wisdom2024-03-03 | Caleb Hegg and Rob Vanhoff discussed a question from a listener about "forever" texts in the Torah, and the arguments presented by people like myself that the Hebrew term "olam" doesn't always mean "forever". How did they do? This is a truly rare opportunity. Very often, Torah observers will cite these texts, but they almost never address the lexical argument presented by their opponents. Messiah Matters tried to address it here. We'll see how they did.
Messiah Matters episode on "forever": youtube.com/watch?v=eaVN7KFhewA&t=2542sDo Gods Dietary Laws Apply in the Millennium?The Beginning Of Wisdom2024-03-03 | One of the Torah movement's favorite arguments for maintaining the Mosaic food laws is the argument that they will apply in the millennium, so they should apply now. We will look closely at Isaiah 66 in context to test this claim. Is it wise to base your doctrine of right practice on your eschatology?
This is part 5 of the food law series, demonstrating that the dietary laws given to Moses are not permanent, were changed by Jesus, and so no one today is obligated to them today.

How could God change His mind about what He hates? This examination of the language of the Torah about what animals can be eaten shows that unclean animals are not "abominations" like you may have heard from someone in the Torah movements or Hebrew Roots.

Many argue that only what is clean according to Leviticus counts as "food". Does this argument work when we dig into the Torah?

Having seen how Genesis presents food laws as changing, we turn to what Jesus teaches in Mark 7 and Acts 10 and how it concerns changes to the food laws given to Moses.

This proves that the Levitical food laws are not the original laws, and that they, too, are subject to change.

He first claimed his earlier video was more directed at "oneness trinitarians" before I pointed out that he never mentioned oneness in the video. Then he admitted that he "misspoke".
The video you're watching is proof that Sean has not stopped misrepresenting the Trinity. I could show you more, but this should suffice. He may say what he thinks the Trinity is in a number of contradictory ways, some closer to accurate, but he still makes the same mistake years later.

This video answers the oft-repeated argument that every law in the Torah is "forever", and so Christians should be observing them as ancient Israel did. It looks at the Hebrew terms involved and how they are used elsewhere in Scripture.
This video is part of a series discussing the distinctions in the Law: moral, ceremonial, and civil, and how they relate to us today, based on the covenants. These videos answer some common arguments advanced in the Torah observant, pronomian, and Hebrew Roots movements, that everything in the Law of Moses applies today.

Does the Bible answer this question? Yes it does. Not only does the Old Testament clearly define the proper categories, but the New Testament very clearly applies the work of Christ to those categories.

This video addresses how both old and New Covenants address commandments and how we should learn from them, but how our relationship to them is different from that of ancient Israel.
This series helps define moral, ceremonial, and civil laws, and shows how they apply today. Not only by means of these categories, but also by the light of the New Testament. It also answers the counter-argument that the ceremonial laws are spoken of as "forever" in some translations.

This video, along with the others, answers arguments from the Torah observant, pronomian, or Hebrew Roots groups and teachers who say there are no differences between moral, ceremonial, and civil laws in the Bible. This series shows the differences, especially as it pertains to the sabbath, kosher food laws, and the feasts or festivals, the moedim or appointed times in the Torah.

BW Live: The Gospel and Hebrew Roots Part 16: Deep Dive into Hebrews Part 4
We pick up our Hebrew Roots and the Gospel series with part 4 of the deep dive into Hebrews. Six chapters down, so we start with chapter seven. Things are getting spicy. As I've said before, Torah observers and Hebrew Roots folks run into some pretty big hurdles attempting to simply walk through these texts without attempting to change the meaning of passages that contradict their theology. Historic Christian theology doesn't have to do that. If you're new to the series, I've done similar deep dives into Galatians and Romans. Check those out as well if you haven't.
In light of a recent video in which Justin Best discussed his deletion of all of his content off YouTube and his leaving faith in Jesus as Messiah, we will be discussing the theological implications of his journey from Hebrew Roots, to Paul denial, to Jesus denial.

Don’t miss it, and as always, live Q&A for anyone in the chat who catches it live.
BW Live: The Gospel and Hebrew Roots Part 13: Deep Dive into Hebrews Part 1
Remember those deep dives into Galatians and Romans to show how the Gospel is taught there and how it doesn't line up with some Hebrew Roots teachers' views of the Gospel?
If you don't, you should check those out. Back here in the present, it is my pleasure to bring the next part of that series to you, as we dive into Hebrews, showing how the Gospel of Christ's kingdom is the same here as we saw in Romans and Galatians, and how Hebrew Roots teachers still can't walk through a text without jumping all over the place to avoid what it says. This is going to be great. Join live at 10:30 pm ET to be part of the show in the Q&A.
This series addresses the Gospel biblically, in contrast to errors promoted by 119 ministries and other Hebrew Roots teachers.
Leighton Flowers of Soteriology 101 is on a mission to refute Calvinists. Recently he posted a clip attempting to answer Calvinists who agree with John Piper on the 2 wills of God.
In this episode of Beginning of Wisdom Live, I’ll be evaluating Flowers’ arguments about judicial hardening and his charge that Calvinists are illegitimately generalizing on specifics, among other things. Is Calvinism truly built on such a flimsy foundation?
