Sabbath Thoughts And Reflections

In this 45th Torah Reading we learn of the deaths of the Patriarchs Jacob and Joseph. From their story we gain an essential understanding of death, the grave, and the afterlife, especially as it relates to God's set-apart people. This is part-1 of a discussion on the subject of death, the grave, and the afterlife.

In this TMTO Sabbath Thoughts and Reflections, we discuss the practical elements of the Jewish Memorial Day of the 9th of Av (aka Tisha B'Av) as well as how we who are the redeemed of God relate and identify with Israel, who God called by name.

The denominationalists have used Colossians 2:16-17, along with similar passages, to promote their anti-Torah agenda. These have ignored the context in which this passage was originally written and have fashioned a false narrative that strips away the elements of God's righteous Way of Life He gifted for His chosen people. But in this installment of TMTO, we expose the error of their twisted interpretations and set straight the true purpose and meaning of this key Pauline passage.

Many have used 1 Timothy 4:1-5 as proof that God's dietary laws have been done away with along with the rest of Torah, making the consumption of any meats permissible by the would-be child of God. But is this Pauline passage actually releasing God's people to eat whatever they want? We examine this passage to see if the Church's teachings on this passage are indeed true.

Paul writes in Romans 5:20 that Torah was given to increase sin so that grace may increase even more. Is the apostle saying that Torah causes people to sin or sin more than if Torah was not present in their lives? We examine this key Pauline passage from a Messianic perspective to see if indeed Torah has the effect of increasing sin in our lives.

One thing that is missing in just about every individual's life outside of those who possess a true covenant relationship with the Almighty is peace or shalom. We're talking about peace or shalom with the Eternal from an inward assurance standpoint and peace/shalom from a righteousness and eternal security standpoint.  It is vitally important for everyone to be at peace with their Creator. But how does one go about obtaining this peace. We discuss what is needed to find this peace in this installment of TMTO: Finding Peace with God-Eternal Life and a Blessed Assurance.

Shavuot-Pentecost is upon us, and we must come to terms as to what this set-apart day on Father's calendar has to do with us today. So, we set out in this post to discover the Messianic implications and applications of Shavuot for the 2022 Netzari.

The Apostle Paul wrote "Where there is no Law there is no transgression." Some believe this verse proves that God abolished any need for His people to keep Torah.  But is this really what the apostle is saying here? We dig deep and uncover the truth as it relates to this critical Pauline statement.

Paul wrote to the Messianic Assembly in Rome that where there is no law, there is no transgression. Was this shocking statement another example of Paul being against Torah? That Torah was done away with? Or was the apostle to the Gentiles telling us something else here? We discuss. You're invited.

The journey from Passover to Tabernacles is extremely difficult and only a precious few will ever make it to the end. What is necessary for a disciple of Yeshua to make it to the Kingdom of God? We discuss a few of those keys to the Kingdom.

Yeshua told His disciples that in order for them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, their righteousness has to surpass that of the Scribes and Pharisees. Given the terrible reputation these religious leaders had, what did Yeshua mean by that statement? An imputed, grace-based righteousness? Or another righteousness? We break this statement down and search out its answer.

This weekend, millions of Jews and Messianics throughout the world will, in one form or another, endeavor to observe Passover. Some will endeavor to celebrate Passover by way of Jewish traditions such as the Seder. While others will go the route of keeping Passover with the original covenant in mind. Many of us will endeavor to keep Passover by way of the renewed covenant: In Spirit and in Truth. In this 3-part installment of TMTO's Sabbath Thoughts and Reflections, we will discuss the many ways people will keep Passover this year. As well as we will discuss the way that Yah's set-apart people will keep Passover in Spirit and in Truth.

This coming Sabbath, millions of Jews will celebrate the Jewish holiday of Shabbat HaGadol. What does this holiday have to do with this coming Passover Season? And what does it have to do with Messianics today? We're talking redemption and atonement as central themes to this Jewish holiday.

It is finally here beloved. The Month of Aviv. Yah declared that this is the head of His calendar year and that we are to guard it. What does it mean to guard the Month of Aviv? Well, we seek to answer that question in this discussion.

In this Torah Reading discussion, we explore the Torah concepts of birthrights, blessings and covenant promises from both a natural and spiritual perspective, through an exposition of the Esau and Jacob story.

In this 2nd part of our Paul Validates Torah Living for God's People, we tackle a passage where the apostle seems to insinuate that God's people do not need to perform good works, aka keep Torah. Is this what the apostle is saying or is he saying something entirely different?
