5 Reasons to Avoid the “את Cepher” Bible David Wilber 2024-01-22 | Recently, a “Bible” known as the את Cepher has been gaining popularity among some believers.

The Law of Christ vs. the Law of Moses? (Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21) David Wilber 2024-01-15 | The expression “law of Christ” appears only two times in the New Testament (Galatians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 9:21). Traditionally, interpreters have frequently understood this expression to refer to a new “law” or ethic that supersedes the law of Moses. However, there is a growing scholarly consensus that “law of Christ” directly refers to the law of Moses in some sense. This video makes a case for interpreting the phrase “law of Christ” in Galatians 6:2 and 1 Corinthians 9:21 as a reference to the law of Moses as it is taught and exemplified by Christ.00:00 Introduction00:50 Did the Law of Christ Supersede the Law of Moses?06:22 "Fulfill the Law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2)09:36 Making sense of Paul's seemingly negative statements about the law in Galatians11:20 "Under / In the Law of Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:21)13:27 Not Under Law?16:28 ConclusionSubscribe to my newsletter: davidwilber.substack.com/subscribeCheck out more of my content on:Personal website: davidwilber.comFacebook: facebook.com/DavidWilberBlogAmazon author page: amazon.com/author/davidwilberTwitter: twitter.com/DavidWilberBlogInstagram: instagram.com/davidwilberblog
Who Created God? - A Response to Justin from Bullet Holes in the Bible David Wilber 2024-01-04 | For centuries, Christians and other theists have utilized cosmological arguments to support the proposition that God exists. However, Justin from "Bullet Holes in the Bible" (@BulletHolesintheBible) insists that Christians who employ such arguments are guilty of "doublethink." He illustrates this with the simple question: "Who created God?" With this question, has Justin successfully dismantled the very foundation of religious belief? In this short video, we discuss why this question misses the point.Check out more of my content on:Personal website: davidwilber.comFacebook: facebook.com/DavidWilberBlogAmazon author page: amazon.com/author/davidwilberTwitter: @davidwilberblogInstagram: @davidwilberblog
Welcome to my YouTube channel! | David Wilber David Wilber 2024-01-02 | Welcome, everyone. My name is David Wilber. I’m an author and Bible teacher. And this is my YouTube channel. What can you expect to see here? Well, this channel is dedicated to producing quality educational videos on a wide range of topics related to the Bible, theology, and apologetics.If you’re new to my work, you’ll discover that my perspective is a little unique in some ways. My faith practice closely resembles what you would call Messianic Judaism, which is a Christian denomination made up of Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus. We place a strong emphasis on the Old Testament, and we incorporate Hebrew liturgy and certain Jewish traditions into our faith practice. So, expect to hear me use Hebrew words and names occasionally, such as referring to Jesus as Yeshua. I also hold to Pronomian theology. Pronomian simply means “pro-law.” It is the opposite of antinomian. As a Pronomian Christian, I believe the Torah—the law of Moses—remains relevant to believers today, and much of my content focuses on the topic of God’s law and how it applies to us. So, expect to see videos on topics like the role of the Sabbath in our lives as Christians, among other related topics. Again, thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out my teaching videos, formal debates that I’ve done on various topics, and sermons right here on this channel. If you like what you see, I want to invite you to subscribe to my channel. Also, be sure to connect with me on my website, DavidWilber.com. There, you can find a ton of free resources, learn about the books I’ve written, and subscribe to my newsletter to ensure you never miss an update.Looking forward to seeing you around.

The Name Yeshua is NOT Demonic David Wilber 2023-12-22 | Liz Hall, a Christian content creator on TikTok, recently claimed that the name “Yeshua” is, in fact, a designation for Satan. According to her, this revelation was revealed to her by demons, and she insisted that believers who refer to the Messiah by this name are unwittingly engaging in the worship of Satan.But is the name Yeshua actually demonic? In this short video, I address Liz’s wild claims.Check out more of my content on:Personal website: davidwilber.comFacebook: facebook.com/DavidWilberBlogAmazon author page: amazon.com/author/davidwilberTwitter: @davidwilberblogInstagram: @davidwilberblog

Do Pronomian (Pro-Law) Christians Hate Jesus and Reject His Work on the Cross? David Wilber 2023-12-01 | Christian author and teacher Michael Kelley (@bibleInspiredTopics) insists that Christians who obey and teach God's Law "hate Jesus" and are "literally rejecting what Jesus did on the cross for us." He also claims that God's Law is "bondage" and that Jesus freed us from our obligation to obey it. In support of these assertions, Michael cites passages that, according to him, illustrate a dichotomy between the Torah and Jesus's commandments. Additionally, he argues that the implications of Jesus's heavenly high priesthood include the establishment of a new law that supersedes the Law of Moses. In this video, I examine Michael's arguments in support of these assertions.Check out more of my content on:Personal website: davidwilber.comFacebook: facebook.com/DavidWilberBlogAmazon author page: amazon.com/author/davidwilberTwitter: @davidwilberblogInstagram: @davidwilberblog

The Law of Moses, the Gospel, and Antinomianism: A Response to R. L. Solberg David Wilber 2023-11-24 | R. L. Solberg, an outspoken critic of Pronomian (pro-Law) theology, made a video where he argued that we cannot follow the Gospel of Jesus and the Law of Moses at the same time. I responded to that video and demonstrated why none of Solberg’s arguments prove his case. Solberg didn’t like my video and made another video objecting to my critiques. This video is my response to his response. In this video, we will primarily be addressing Solberg’s claim that I mischaracterized his position on the Law. Then, we’ll talk about his other arguments.Watch my original response to Solberg here: youtube.com/watch?v=lR-nKg7MgvU00:00 Introduction00:43 Did I mischaracterize Solberg's position on the Law?07:05 Does Jesus's commands include keeping the Law of Moses?10:37 A double-minded pursuit of God?11:24 Animal sacrifices13:33 All believers as priests14:38 More goalpost shifting16:31 ConclusionCheck out more of my content on:Personal website: davidwilber.comFacebook: facebook.com/DavidWilberBlogAmazon author page: amazon.com/author/davidwilberTwitter: @davidwilberblogInstagram: @davidwilberblog

The Divine Son: Exploring the Messiahs Deity in Hebrews 1 David Wilber 2023-09-04 | Is the Messiah God? The first chapter of Hebrews presents compelling evidence that he is. In this chapter, the author highlights the Son’s role as the creator and sustainer of the universe, emphasizes the Son’s divine essence, proclaims that the Son is worthy of the worship that belongs only to God, and explicitly identifies the Son as “God” and “Lord/YHWH.” In order to demonstrate each of these points, this video conducts a detailed exegesis of Hebrews 1 and answers objections from unitarians.Read the article here: davidwilber.com/articles/the-divine-son-exploring-the-messiahs-deity-in-hebrews-1TABLE OF CONTENTS:00:00 Introduction00:37 The Son is the Agent of Creation04:55 The Son is the Sustainer of the Universe09:02 The Son Shares the Father’s Divine Essence12:20 The Son Receives Worship14:54 The Son is God17:47 The Son is Eternal20:29 ConclusionBIBLIOGRAPHY:Attridge, Harold W.
