We can learn a lot that other people have forgotten just by looking closely at the story of Yeshua's meeting with a Samaritan woman. We need to take this look because many people who think they've found the Savior of their souls have really settled for a bogus Jesus. Here is the passage, from John/Yochanan, […]

We have been imagining the Apostles Peter, Paul and James gathered together in Jerusalem where Paul has just finished participating in a Temple ritual with four men from the Jerusalem congregation. Afterwards, Peter and James meet with him, congratulating and thanking him for his participation. On their way back to the Upper Room, they pass […]
Let's imagine for a moment that the Apostles Peter, Paul and James are gathered together in Jerusalem. Paul has just finished participating in a Temple ritual with four men from the Jerusalem congregation, and afterwards, Peter and James meet with him, congratulating and thanking him for his participation. On their way back to the […]
Last shabbat was Shabbat Shuvah, the sabbath of repentance. The prophetic reading for that day has a message we do well to remember as we go into Yom Kippur and into the coming year for by employing its wisdom, we can find transformation in this season of change.

The writers of The Torah’s Goal? (TTG) would have us believe that the Jewish way of life, as reflected in the observance of the mitzvot of Torah, became obsolete and purely optional after the New Covenant was inaugurated, that is, with the death, resurrection and ascension of Yeshua the Messiah. Further, they deny the legitimacy of […]
