Messiah Matters Season 5 Archive
Following our discussion last week about the Messiah in the Exodus, we look at Emails and comments that have come in that suggestion circumcision is a thing of the past. These claims are based on entirely on Paul’s writings but tend to disregard the rest of Scripture. How do we reconcile Paul and his seeming disregard for the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant?
We continue our discussion of the First Century Messianic expectation. This week we will look at the word “Messiah” in the first century, and what this word meant. To better understand the Messianic expectation of the first century, we will look at some of the texts that were used when speaking about the Messiah. Interestingly, they all share one thing in common.
We continue our discussion of the First Century Messianic expectation, by looking at the book of John and several of the instances when Yeshua said something that was misunderstood. In the three specific instances, we will look at, there are three different reactions from the three different kinds of people. Why did Yeshua veil His message at times? For the disciples, it wasn’t until His resurrection that they understood the meaning of His veiled words.
This week we look at an early text (Didascalia Apostolorum) that suggests Yeshua’s Last Supper was on a Tuesday and that His crucifixion was on Friday. Also, we respond to a comment that was left on our Facebook page that takes issue with our last show and the thoughts put forward on 1Cor. 11. Also, we discuss a question that came in on our comment line asking about the Christian view of Yeshua as High Priest.
In this week’s show, we look at Yeshua’s nature and John 14:28. Also, a look at an article in the most recent issues of the Journal of Biblical Literature by Paula Fredriksen titled, “How Jewish is God? Divine Ethnicity in Paul’s Theology.” What are the implications of the article, and did Fredriksen get it right?
This week we look at a very controversial passage in 1Cor. 14:34-35. Paul exhorts women to keep silent in Church. Is this the ranting of a man who hates women, or is there something else going on in this passage?
This week we look several emails that have come in. Our main topic will look at questions posed to us by a proponent of the “Et” theology. This Hebrew symbol has been viewed as a direct object marker throughout the ages, but is there more to it?

This week we welcome Tim Hegg onto the show to discuss a book that has been making waves in the Messianic movement. This book, Reading Moses Finding Jesus, has been endorsed by some leaders, but what does it say about sanctification for believers in the body of Messiah?

This week we look at a statement put out by a ministry that gives their official stance on the Torah for believers. Although these statements are nothing new, they show the mindset of some within ministry that are “keeping Torah.”

This week we look at some comments made by a prominent apologist and pastor who suggests that believers who “resurrect” the dietary laws are “capital H, Heretic[s].” We also look at a comment left on one of our videos that states catechisms are a Christian invention and should therefore be rejected by Messianic Jews. Also, a quick look at the festival of Yom Kippur and more!

This week we begin with a quick discussion about women and tzitzit, and then turn to Galatians 4:4. What does it mean that Yeshua was born “under law?” Often, those within mainstream Christianity will argue that this means Yeshua was born in a time when the Torah needed to be observed, but after His death there is no longer any need to be “under law,” meaning “keep Torah,” but is this what Galatians 4:4 really means?

This week we look at Community and the situation that has occurred within the Torah movement where people have no communities. Then we move to comments by an orthodox Rabbi suggesting Torah observant Christians have plagiarized customs and observances from Judaism.
