Friends, I'm super excited to announce that I'm launching a new podcast with my longtime friend and Messianic apologist John McKee:
Our new show! (Can you tell that John and I are Star Trek fans? 😄) |
We recorded our first episode, "Leaving Messianic Things", in which we discuss the difficult Messianic issues raised in Responding to "No Longer Torah Observant."
In this first episode, John and I discuss challenges facing Messianic believers today: the pitfalls of end-times sensationalism, conspiracy theories, low views of the New Testament, heresies about Yeshua's identity, contempt for the Church and Christianity, a lack of Gospel evangelism and outreach, and more. We discuss better paths forward for our movement, one centered around the weighty matters of the Torah and the salvation of Israel.
Here's the table of contents:
- Our purpose in The Messianic Walk
- Background to "No Longer Torah Observant"
- No Gospel, no outreach
- Hebrew Roots has found a good thing, but neglected the best thing
- Degrading the New Testament
- Inconsistent critical standards
- Mistaken belief that the Bible was written to you
- No longer true today: "Jews look for signs, Greeks for wisdom"
- Slanderous views of Paul
- Low Christology
- Scholarly materials showing why Messiah is God
- Salvation by works
- Christians keep Torah
- Why play God and determine people's eternal destinies?
- Conspiracy theories
- Conspiracy theories not limited to Hebrew Roots
- Scholarship is derided
- John's personal experience with scholarship in the Messianic movement
- Does formal theological education produce liberal scholars who create loopholes for sin?
- Not every teacher needs to be a scholar, but we should cherish religious education and scholarship
- Idolizing Judaism
- A Kingdom of Eating and Drinking
- A failure to prioritize the weighty matters of Torah
- Hebrew Roots needs to wrestle with these issues
- The Messianic walk is not easy, but we must persevere with the Lord's help
Our goal with this podcast is to help folks with their Messianic walk. I earnestly hope it helps you, fine Kineti reader, grow and mature in your walk with the Lord.
