Will the Temple Be Rebuilt?

(Watch the video here.) In the year AD 70, the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. It forced a massive change in Judaism. Suddenly there were no more sacrifices, no more Levitical priesthood, no more temple ceremonies. For the Jews, who believed they were law of Moses, many of the 613 mitzvot (commandments) required in […]

The Sexual Prohibitions in Leviticus 18 Don’t Apply to Christians

Before reading this article please make sure to review the LGBTQ+ Sensitivity Statement. The Reformation Project (TRP) describes itself as a Bible-based, Christian organization whose “mission is to advance LGBTQ inclusion in the church.” As part of their mission, they have published a ten-point, biblical case that argues for the affirmation of LGBTQ sexual values […]

Did Yeshua Keep Torah?

(Watch the video here.) You know the track-and-field event called a relay race where runners take turns racing around a track carrying a baton? When one runner completes his leg of the race, he hands the baton off to the next runner. By rule, the hand-off must take place within a short piece of track […]

On The Postmillennial Understanding of Kingdom Growth

One of the most attractive postmillennialism attributes is its hope for the future of believers in the world. Postmillennialism holds that the millennial age was ushered in by Christ in the first century and continues to this day. As we move toward His second coming, this eschatological position teaches that we can expect an increase […]

Peter’s Vision: Food, Gentiles, or Both?

In discussions with my Torah-observant1 friends, the conversation often turns to the dietary laws prescribed in the Law of Moses. In a recent chat, the passage from Acts 10:9-16 was in view, which is where the apostle Peter experienced a vision: He saw heaven opened and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, […]

A Patre: A Theory on the Transmission of Original Sin

A sinful (corrupted) human nature is not an essential part of being human. Adam and Eve were fully human, and they were created without corruption. However, every human being since the Fall (Gen 3:1-7) has not only been judged legally guilty of Adam’s sin; they have also inherited a corrupted human nature. So how is […]

Why Does the Trinity Matter?

I’ll be honest; the idea of the Trinity—that the God of the Bible is a triune being who is one in essence and three in persons—is a concept I personally have trouble fully understanding.

In this episode of the Christ, Culture, & Coffee podcast, I join hosts Robby and Tyler for an engaging chat […]
