Do the Old Testament food laws apply to Christians?

- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- A major tenet of Torahism-which you may know as the Hebrew Roots movement or Torah-observant Christianity-is that the kosher food laws are required of all followers of Jesus today. Our Torah-keeping friends not only believe that Christians are required to abstain from all the foods prohibited in the Law of Moses, but also that eating things like pork and shellfish is sinful and lawless. And I’m going to share with you today yet another reason why this just isn’t a biblical position. If you are a follower of Jesus, whether you’re Jewish or Gentile, you are not obligated to keep the kosher food laws. Not as a matter of salvation or righteousness. In this video we look at a common passage in Mark 7 from the perspective of Leviticus 11.

Un principio importante del toraísmo, que quizás conozcas como el movimiento de las raíces hebreas o el cristianismo observante de la Torá, es que las leyes alimentarias kosher se exigen a todos los seguidores de Jesús en la actualidad. Nuestros amigos observadores de la Torá no solo creen que los cristianos deben abstenerse de todos los alimentos prohibidos en la Ley de Moisés, sino también que comer cosas como carne de cerdo y mariscos es pecaminoso y anárquico. Y voy a compartir con ustedes hoy otra razón más por la que esta no es una posición bíblica. Si eres un seguidor de Jesús, ya seas judío o gentil, no estás obligado a guardar las leyes de alimentos kosher. No como un asunto de salvación o justicia. En este video vamos a ver un pasaje común en Marcos 7 desde la perspectiva de Levítico 11.

What about Isaiah 66: 17? I've heard that used to say the food laws are still binding.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the details that we forget that religion is something we choose as adults. How we choose to walk it out is also a choice. Gd didn’t force Torah observance upon Anyone who followed Moses into the wilderness. Neither did Jesus force anyone to follow him.
No one is “required” to follow Torah and no one is “required” to follow Jesus.
As a Jew I’m not offended by a Christian who desires Torah because I too desire it. Likewise, should it offend a Christian if a Jew finds merit in Paul?
Abraham was found to be Righteous without Sinai or Paul in his life. Because the the root of the matter is how those that choose Gd treat one another.
You have good teaching about the word brother, of course most people understand what Jesus means here, evil comes from the heart. But the translation "declares all food clean" is a bit wrong and I mean he says (explains) that the body (stomach and intestines) cleans the food and you excrete the impure... so regardless of the sanctity code, it's not really food or what you put into you that defiles you spiritually.
Genesis 7:2 has been a crench in my craw. Brother Solberg, any thoughts?
Hey RasLG! So the clean and unclean distinction for sacrifice wasn't made explicit until Sinai, long after Noah (Ex 20; Lev 11; Deut 14). So there are a couple possibilities here. There may have been an earlier awareness of animals that were appropriate and inappropriate for sacrifice. Or it's possible this is an anachronism added by a later editor to remove potential contradictions with the law. However, then we're still left with Gen 9:1-3 in which literally all foods are declared by Yahweh clean to eat.

“Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah - not until everything that must happen has happened. So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P’rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
Mattityahu (Mat) 5:17-20
Torahists err in claiming that the scriptures mean the Law of Moses is FOREVER. Obviously, if some things have changed (and they HAVE with a New Priesthood and Covenant!), it is NOT forever. God gave the Sinai Law to Moses at a certain time for only a certain period of time.
The word "olam" has been mistranslated as "forever" or "eternal." There are scriptures in the Tanakh where "olam" is being used to indicate an short time, like when Jonah was in the belly of the whale--only 3 days! The Greek "aionios" (from olam) in the NT has also been mistranslated. Once you realize and accept this error of yours, then you may be able to see that the Laws of Moses were NOT meant to continue forever.
Moreover, the Law of Moses was given to PHYSICAL Israel. And certain physical laws, rites, rituals no longer apply. They were given to separate physical Israel from the Nations/Pagans. That separation ended with the atonement...and Peter's vision. Those laws were given to point to Christ. Because Christ has come, these are no longer in effect. They were just shadows; Christ is the essense. Therefore, those laws have passed.
Torahists are stuck on a misinterpretation of Matt. 5:17-20 which informs their false gospel.
Heaven and Earth HAVE to be idioms...because jots and tittles HAVE changed! Check your scriptures and see that the temple and Jerusalem have been referred to as Heaven and Earth. And if you don't believe that, then consider that it's just an expression like "Heaven and Earth would sooner pass away than what I'm telling you will not come to pass."
We KNOW that the Law and the Prophets is an idiom for the Hebrew scriptures! Check them out for yourself:
(Matt. 7:12, 11:13; 22:40; Luke 16:16; John 1:45; Acts 13:16, 28:23; Rom. 3:21);
"the Law..., the prophets, and the Psalms" (Luke 24:44);
or just "Law" (Matt. 5:18; John 10:44, 12:34; 15:25; 1 Cor. 14:21).
Therefore, the phrase "the Law and the Prophets" in Matt. 5:17-20 does NOT indicate that the Laws of Moses are still in effect.
Ultimately, because we have a NEW Covenant (which is a HUGE CHANGE from the Law of Moses!) and a NEW Priesthood (which is another HUGE CHANGE from the Law of Moses), you can NOT reasonably claim there have not been any changes in the Law of Moses. Obviously, there have been with the atoning sacrifice of the Messiah!
All WAS fulfilled with His death and resurrection. He said: "It is finished!"
John 19:28 (NKJV) "After this, Jesus, knowing that ALL things were now accomplished [finished], that the Scripture [Tanakh] might be FULFILLED, said, 'I thirst!'"
Also, in Luke (in the parallel verses to Matthew 24), which are about the destruction of the temple, Jesus says this:
Luke 21:22 NKJV
"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be FULFILLED."
Therefore, Matt. 5 refers to ALL that has been written in the Tanakh being fulfilled in Jesus' life and atonement. And Heaven and Earth/the temple and Jerusalem DID pass away after 70 AD. Until the death and resurrection, all the Laws of Moses were in effect; but AFTERWARD they passed away.
"...how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? YOU OBSERVE DAYS AND MONTHS AND SEASONS AND YEARS! I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain." ~ Galatians 4:9-11
Read Hebrews 9:9-10 again! It makes it CLEAR right there!
"It was SYMBOLIC for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed UNTIL THE TIME OF REFORMATION." The of reformation has happened and is HERE NOW. NEW Priesthood/NEW Covenant.
Food, washings, ordinances/rite/rituals--ALL have passed! Would you put yourself under those laws? NOT ME. NOT anymore! I'm finished with that burden. The Law of Christ is easy. His burden is LIGHT.
(BTW, all thanks goes to God and to Rob Solberg who helped me understand my errors of Torahism.)
@@nancykindt6487 Upholding the laws of the Torah is not a “burden”, as it pleases Yahweh. We do these things out of love for our Father Yahweh. The Law gives us a guideline, even though it is written in our hearts when we accept Yahushua as Messiah and let his Ruach fill us. Our fruits will automatically start to align with the Law because of the Ruach.
What do you say about the contention that Rom. 14 is not about arguing the dietary laws, but rather about opinion on how to do this? And about Ebionites who didn't believe in eating meat in contention with others who advocated the eating of meat? And about which days to fast? Torah proponents make a compelling case for this chapter not being against following the dietary laws.
Romans 14 is not about any meat, but that meat which is deemed Food (broma). This was concerning whether meat (clean meat) otherwise sacrificed to pagan gods or idols was fit for consumption by believers. There were so many animal sacrifices in this period and pagan rituals mostly used the blood, the meat was sold at the markets so as not to go to waste. It is the same conversation Paul has with the Corinthians in I Corinthians chapters 8 and 10. It does seems to say that if you understand that meat sacrificed to idols means nothing but is confusing for your brother who is new to the faith, to refrain from it so as not to offend your brother. FWIW this actually comes from the verses about what goes into your mouth as opposed to what comes out of it. Idols are nothing and so long as you are not the one sacrificing the animal and doing it in worship of a pagan god it is of no consequence to eat it. These verses never make it ok to go against the Levitical dietary laws.
@@NXN66 Having been in the Torah movement for 7 yrs. I'm well familiar with their interpretation of these verses. But I've come to a more accurate understanding within the context of the whole of scripture that the ceremonial and dietary laws are no longer meant for us to follow. I suggest you watch some more of Solberg's videos on this matter to get a better understanding.
There are 2 groups of people in Col. 2: Judaizers and Gnostic ascetics who are both criticizing new believers for NOT keeping those laws.
Hebrews 9:9-10 says, "It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience- concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed UNTIL THE TIME OF REFORMATION."
Your first problem with the argument is that you have divided the law into categories. While its true that portions of Leviticus are directed at how the Temple sacrifices will be carried out and thus are about ceremony, no where in the Bible will you Old or New Testament will you find anyone dividing the Law into categories. In fact it took God allowing the Temple to be destroyed in 70AD to stop them from happening. This was a admonition to the Jews at the time for not seeing Jesus as the Messiah. The writer of Hebrews is talking against Judaizers, that is fact. But Judaizers in this context were those Jew who wanted to believe in both Messiah and the strict letter of the law which Jesus released. Only people who want to eat what they want, Christian or Messianic spend time making scripture say all things are clean to eat. As God himself says, the law is not hard and Jesus said if you love me you will keep them.
@@nancykindt6487
@@NXN66 No where in the Bible will you find words "Trinity" or "rapture" but those things DO exist. It's clear that there were certain laws having to do with temple rites and rituals and observances and others to do with civil government and still others having to do with moral issues. Therefore, there's no error in using those determinations or categories.
What you consider as fact is actually error. Col. 2 has been twisted by Torahists to make it line up with their bias.
Hebrews 9:9-10 PROVES that you are wrong about not only ceremonial laws, but also the dietary ones. It's right there in scripture! For those with eyes to see...
1000's of theologians over 1000's of years have studied and tested these issues and the overwhelming majority have come to the same conclusion.
We of faith do strive to follow HIS commandments out of obedience, gratitude and love. And they are all morally based commands.
We now have a NEW covenant and a NEW Priesthood. So, Torahists cannot rightly claim that not one iota of the law has been changed. Another twising of Matt. 5:17-20 has led so many off the narrow path.
Bro.. NOBODY should eat an animal that wasn't properly slaughtered; especially not one that has died on it's own. This is well understood in the meat industry now🤣
Jewish kosher slaughter Shechita, is still to date the most humane why to slaughter an animal.
Amazing
Why would anyone want to eat any other way…….everyone should Google what a “bull shot “ is!!!!
@@Pverb623 there is a more humane way. But it is more difficult
@@tbishop4961
That makes no sense…….a more humane way is to be Pescetarian and not have to kill any animals to eat them.
Plus how do you say that and not offer what that is……..
shechita literally is the the most humane way……the animal doesn’t know that it is dead……and the blessing prayed over it…blesses the meat.
Yet if you are a Christian, of coarse you have issue…..it is from the oral law. But spoken of in the Torah. Deuteronomy 12:15-16.
Consider the 3rd world countries my brothers in Christ. They cannot choose how or even what to eat much less ritually proper to slaughter animals. Jesus gospel of redemption must be preached to reach these people. Always consider beyond your own country pls.
@@judemichaelvelez6789
Jeremiah 23:24
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.
Ritual slaughter can be done anywhere……become a Jew…….and then learn….!
Gentiles don’t need to kosher slaughter…..that was only given to the Jews. Gentiles can eat what ever they want….
So actually it fits quite well…!
Mr. Solberg!!
Heaven and Earth have not yet passed away!!!
Exactly! Heaven and earth have not passed away. And yet…more than a yud and stroke of the law have changed. (For example “there is no longer any offering for sin” (Heb 10:18)). What do we make of that? ua-cam.com/video/VRt0bQrvNh0/v-deo.html

Hello! 11:22 “(thus he declared all foods clean)”. An argument of Unlearn the Lies stated that this was added to the original text later, I’m not 100% sure of the claim of when it was added.
Also Lex claims that because this was a parable used to teach a thematic truth outside of the stated words. This was also used in his explanation of why the parable Jesus said where a man in heaven and a man in hell didn’t actually prove that heaven was filled with believers right now. What’s the rebuttal here?
I came across the radical teaching of Unlearn the Lies and read his book to understand what and why he believes what he does, and there are a lot of convincing arguments, though a lot of obvious rebuttals to the teaching that were not addressed and, if I were the author, would have anticipated easily and done my best to address. I entered the study with a healthy dose of questioning. Wild stuff for sure!
Hi, Kyle! Yes I've heard the claim that “(thus he declared all foods clean)” was added to the original text later. But the truth is that text is not in dispute; it's found in the earliest MSS (manuscripts) we have.
One way to tell if you can't read/access the MSS directly is that it is not footnoted in any English translation of the Bible as being questionable text. For example, most translations have a footnote telling us that the ending of the book of John was not in the earliest manuscripts. The NASB footnote says, "Later mss add the story of the adulterous woman, numbering it as John 7:53-8:11." The ESV says, "[The earliest manuscripts do not include 7:53-8:11.]" The NIV says, [The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]
Yet none of these translations question the text in Mark 7:19.

@@TheBiblicalRoots thank you for the in depth response. I’m reading your book currently and I’m glad I found it, your words are pointing me back to the Bible. Now to untangle the stuff Unlearn the Lies says about death, heaven and hell… 😆
Just a quick thank you to you Rob. Your book "Torahism" is excellent and a great help in crystallising intuitions I have felt in to concrete thoughts.

ConCRETE is hard, very hard....maybe the book is for hard headed people!
another question I have..even Tho I know many people call themselves Christians and it is only in scripture 3 times...one being Act_11:26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia. note it was a year later and .1Pe_4:16 But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe The things is . these men were obeying all our creators comandments unlike today...christians who don't ...The question is where did our father or son call men that?.Did Jesus not say he came only for ISRAEL..,Mat_15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
something more to think about.prophecy.which goes with this question,,have you read Geneva bible Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.~ The Gentiles which are you and I were never called Christians by Christ.
Is the Mosaic Law subject to ever undergo change?
Matthew 5:18
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Mark 7:19
…since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
Here, in the first passage, we have Jesus-quite emphatically too-leaving no room for the Law to ever change… and then declaring all food clean, thus renouncing one of the Law’s most fundamental decrees.
Hello :) I want to thank you for all of your hard work/knowledge/passion etc. Your teachings help me immensely. Quick question. Have you ever heard of" Heaven and earth" being referred to as the Jewish temple. I've read quite a bit about it, It would make Matthew 5:18 more understandable. when Jesus says "until heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle will pass from the law". I would love your opinion on that. I think Paul wrote Hebrews in 65 AD? Temple destruction in 70 AD? What's growing old is ready to vanish...Again thank you 🙏
It is clear that torah-ism interpret scripture carnally
The feasts in lev 13, spiritually inerpreted is
Death
Buriel
Ressurection
Pentecost (50days) Acts 2
Trumpets are the gathering of the jews
Atonement is to the real Atonement they crucified
Tabernacles, the new Jerusalem, Mt Zion
An it is all fulfilled in Christ, jist as Jesus said in Mathh 5
Christ is also the law, He is your righteousness amd sabbath
All comes through the Atonement
I hope this will help you

Hi, Matt! I have heard the idea that in ancient Israel, the temple was seen as the geographical point where heaven and earth connected. It was a sacred space where the Lord of heaven chose to make His presence known on earth; he "tabernacled" among His people. And it was the place where the Israelites gathered to hear from God; it was the exact spot on earth where heaven could be felt. Whether that's the idea Jesus had in mind in Matt 5:18 is very interesting, but unclear for for me at the moment. I have not looked into that theory very deeply. But at first blush, Matt 5:17-20 doesn't seem like a statement of metaphor.

Another excellent video Professor Solberg! Insightful and clear. Thank you!
Yes.
Mark 7:14-16 (KJV) And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: [15] There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. [16] If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
You are talking about the difference between those who are sinners and those who are not. Those who are sinners are not concerned about holiness.
You are a sinner. Say you are not and you lie. Jesus loathes pompous Pharisees.
This is an issue that I see that is across the board. There are people who get all excited and say we are Jews we are special. There are other people who say we are not Jews so we can do what we will.
The truth of the matter is if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior you have become a Jew because you are now and the family of God.
Because it's not about the outward appearance but it's about the hidden man of the heart.
Applies to everyone.including ,and especially Christians.
Great Insights brother!
Its like Noah trying to hang on to the Adam Food command instead of embracing the new covenant of his day in which God gave him and his descendants both plants and animals without restrictions.
In reality all of humanity except the Jews under the Sinai covenant were operating under the covenant God made with Noah.

Very succinct. Well done.
Very wrong...not well done
What would the world look like if we all ate kosher ? I was watching on line about how clams clean water wast and another video about shrimp cleaning also ,could our lust for eating Gods clean up crew be causing some of the environmental problems we have? , just a thought

In Matthew 15 the same event is recorded but the author of Matthew ends the event with a different conclusion.
These are the things which defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
Matthew 15:20
Surely this shows that Christ was talking about unwashed hands and not unclean foods. It's the exact same event yet the author of Matthew shows more clearly what Jesus was talking about.
Hey Pip. That's the same conclusion from Mark 7. The point I made in this video is that Jesus wasn't _only_ talking about unwashed hands. Mark records Him also speaking about the larger issue of unclean foods which, under the Mosaic law, made one unclean.

Another great video! Thank you. I was discussing this with a Hebrew Roots person via Instagram. I appreciate your teaching to help me out.
How did he help….he lied!
Kosher laws cannot be changed from another book……that’s the point of the Torah being perfect…….(Psalms 19:7)
Like the professor speaking the the Torah gives no hand washing laws or rituals………this is completely false….a sophism….to deceive!
His theological views are incredibly inconsistent and completely incorrect.
@@nancycorbin7317 it's interesting to listen to though because it makes one aware of how heretical the religion of the Netzerim became when the movement was taken over by pagans and Torah observance made punishable by death.

@@nickmansfield1 it is the prophecies of the acharit hayamim
Jesaja 66
Technically the washing hands is in the Torah, it is required for Levitical Priest, which the Pharisees brought it to homes. The idea that a man is the priest in his household and every Jewish table an altar to God, this concept is still alive today in Jewish homes
Good point, Danny. For the priests there were the commands regarding the ritual washing of their hands and feet in the bronze basin (Ex 30:17-21). And it was a really big deal! " They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die" (v 12). But the Jewish hand-washing ritual by the average person before a meal, _n’tilat yadayim_ is a beautiful tradition, but was not commanded in the Torah.

@@TheBiblicalRoots correct, on all points, just wanted to point out that the tradition didn’t come out of nowhere, then again there is only so much you can say in a video.
I may not agree on everything but this is something I agree we need to address and answer, too many good people stuck on this. I was there at one point but after much studying and discernment I got out. Keep it going Rob!
Correct! Except that it wasn’t a tradition but a civil law at that time. If you study the historical context of the law you can understand Jesus’s comments better. Easy mistake though. Tradition and civil law are often confused.
Many Christians are dying and suffering from health complications that would be drastically decreased or even non-existent if they followed the Creator of their bodies.
Science is merely catching up with health biblical principles.
Christians, I speak in love. Be a good steward of your body.
I agree, Bunfire. Christians should be good stewards of our bodies. At the same time, it's important to note that the kosher food laws were not given to Israel for reasons of health or nutrition. That's not even hinted that anywhere in Scripture. And did you know that Pork is a good source of vitamins and minerals like phosphorus, selenium, and thiamine. And its is actually richer in thiamine, a B vitamin required for a range of bodily functions, than other red meats like beef and lamb.
Shalom, Rob
The Kosher food laws have nothing to do with health reasons. Ask any respected Rabbi and they will tell you the same thing. This is just an oft-repeated myth.
We know the Noah took two of the unclean animals if Noah ate one of them they would cease to exist how do you argue with that one unbelievable. He took a bunch of clean animals that's why he was eating them
What happened to Exodus 12:49 speaking of one law for the native born of Israel and the stranger who lives among you? On one hand, Mr. Solberg, you are saying Jews are to keep the food laws per Deut 14:21, but in Mark 7:19 you are saying Yeshua has revoked the food laws so neither Jew nor Gentile is obligated to keep them anymore. This means that Yeshua is removing a lot more than one jot or tittle from the law and turns him into a worker of iniquity and not a Messiah who kept the law perfectly. I cannot imagine Yeshua walking around with a pork chop hanging out of his mouth and encouraging fellow Jews to eat pigs against the commandment of God.
Hello. She'erit! I actually didn't say that Jews are to keep the food laws today based on Deuteronomy 14:21. Those food laws _used_ to be required under the Law of Moses, but they do not apply under the New Covenant for Jews or Gentiles. Eating pork today is not against the commandments of God.
Blessings, Rob
If "Jesus" taught his disciples that all foods were clean, then Peter should not have been confounded in his dream about unclean foods.
Furthermore, you neglect that speaking the abrogation of that law is infact a matter of the heart.
And further neglect the feminine/masculine structure of the verse doesn't allow for the translation to render the food as the subject being cleansed. The cleaning is of the man ridding the food, not the food itself.
Thanks, Joe. What about the feminine/masculine structure of the verse doesn't allow for food to be the subject of the phrase? In fact, the word βρώματα in that final phrase is neuter (no gender).
R.
@@TheBiblicalRoots
The nouns arent in harmony with the verb, thus καρδίαν/κοιλίαν being feminine cannot be the subject of the that verb.
βρῶμα, being neuter, is where the problem lies.
ἄνθρωπον the accusative masculine is the subject of cleansing.
Even the English should have provided enough insight that HIS belly, HIS heart. The man is cleansed in conjunction with descriptive of sewers,bowls etc.
The gloss is a mistranslatiom and misapplication.
Reason was Jesus was still alive when He taught His disciples thats why He was still bound under the mosaic law thus He did not teach about it.
Always clear, thanks for sharing once again !
Absolutely unclear and wrong , check with your savior, see if he is ok with breaking His father's Kingdom instructions.

This a Midrash for 146:3 that I have found!
This is what Scripture says: (Job 34:30) "That the godless should not reign, lest the people be trapped (memokshei am)." [An argument between] Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish: Rabbi Yochanan says, "If you see a godless and wicked person as the leader of the generation, it would be better for the generation to fly into the air and not to serve him, and the language of "memokshei am" only means to be trapped, as it similarly says (Amos 3:5) "Can a bird fall into a trap if there is no lure (mokesh) for it?". "That the godless should not reign..." Our rabbis stated: Once kings were appointed in Israel, they started to be enslave them. Says the Holy One, blessed be He, "You haven't abandoned Me, yet you want kings?" That's what it means, (Deuteronomy 17:14) "I will appoint for myself a king." This is what Scripture says: (Psalms 146:3) "Do not place trust in important people..." Rabbi Simon said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: Anyone who trusts in God merits to be like Him. How do we know? As it says: (Jeremiah 17:7) "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord." But anyone who places trusts in pagan worship, he becomes indebted to be like it. How do we know? As it says, (Psalms 115:8) "May they who make them become like them, [and everyone who trusts in them.]" Our rabbis said: Anyone who relies on man transgresses, even for his protection, he transgresses, for it says, (Psalms 146:3), "...in humans who cannot save." What does it say afterwards? (Psalms 146:4) "His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth." Says the Holy One, blesses be He: They know that humans are nothing, yet they put aside My Glory and say: "Appoint for us a king"? What do you want a king for? By your lives, your end will be to feel what will happen to you in the future under the reign of your kings!" How do we know? As it says, (Hosea 7:7) "All their kings have fallen; there is none among them who call me." Rabbah.5.9

Hello, Steven. What the Gentiles are grated into has no bearing on the kosher food laws. Neither Jews nor Gentiles are required to maintain a kosher food diet under the New Covenant. It's permitted, of course. But it's not required.

Mark 7 declared all foods clean. Not all animals.
That’s a new one! I’ve not heard that angle before. Animals _are_ food, right? Isn’t that what Leviticus 11 is all about?
@@TheBiblicalRoots No. That’s personally where I think people get the food laws wrong. Just because you decide to swallow rocks doesn’t make it food. Just like rats and snakes aren’t food. God declared what you can and cannot eat, just like a society culturally determines what is and isn’t food. No one that I know would consider a rat food, only people who tries to reach for a point, yet rats are considered a food in countries such as China.
This verse (and the context) specifically talks about man-made laws and tradition vs God’s law. To skip everything prior to this verse just to establish the premise: “and then Jesus started speaking in a broader sense” is twisting scripture (though I don’t believe you to be doing it malicously).
That being said, I do like your content though. Seems like we disagree about everything except for looking to the scriptures for answers. It does challange me to crack open my Bible once again, which alot more people should.
prof. seams not to distinguish between animals and meat.
He needs to study classifications
If something is not considered "food" is cannot be declared to be clean. The Leviticus 11 animals that were unclean were not "food." That is the whole point of Lev 11, to outline the question, what is food in YHVH's eyes. Pharisees added manmade laws and traditions that made otherwise kosher food "unclean" because of something that happened to it. ie touched with unwashed hands. Yeshua is stating emphatically in the parenthetical phrase that (all foods are clean, that is to say that all things God said was food are clean to eat without regard to traditions of man). This can be seen in I Cor. 8 when Paul discusses the way meats sacrificed to idols were handled. If one knew they were sacrificed to idols they were not to eat of it, but if they were unaware it was not a violation. This is assuming that the meat was otherwise from a Levitically clean animal. I'm just not buying your counter-argument. I know it's hard having to actually give up something to be a believer. It seems "the church" as most know it has spent 1700 years explaining why we can live the way we want to instead of the way God instructed. Abraham followed all of God's laws and Torah hadn't even been written yet. I suppose you would explain that God's laws for Abraham were different.
Thanks! I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that Paul's discussion of meat in 1 Cor 8 is "assuming that the meat was otherwise from a Levitically clean animal"? And how would you reconcile that with what Paul says a little bit later in that same book, that we can "Eat everything that is sold in the meat market without raising questions for the sake of conscience" (1 Cor 10:25)? -RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Very simply I would say that context is key and you have to start at verse 19. This discussion is concerning meat sacrificed to idols. There would have been an understanding that pork being offered at the meat market was not kosher and therefore not even considered, but otherwise clean animals were not defiled by being slaughtered in the name of a pagan god. You cannot, stretch the context of Paul's conversation on meat sacrificed to idols include something that just isn't there just as Peter and the Sheets doesn't make all animals clean to eat.
@@NXN66 I agree with you that "There would have been an understanding that pork being offered at the meat market was not kosher," and "clean animals were not defiled by being slaughtered in the name of a pagan god." And that's exactly the point. Because even though the food at the meat market was unclean, Paul said, "Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience" (1 Cor 10:25). -RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Proper hermeneutics would require a step out of a single verse that "seems" to prove your exegesis. Upon two or three witnesses a thing shall be confirmed. Not withstanding what the OT says concerning this, the debate clearly starts in Acts 15. Verse 20 and 29 discusses abstaining from "food" being sacrificed to idols. In this context it was about not participating in those rituals and then eating the food ( a custom that many new gentile followers of Christ were dealing with). What it does NOT do is define food or make all things clean. I would submit to you that Verse 21 gives the understanding that the rest of the Levitical knowledge of food laws will be picked up on Shabbat as new believers study Torah.
This thought on food and idols continues as Paul discusses with Roman believers the idol theme and how not to confuse new and/or weak believers with a seemingly contradiction regarding "food" sacrificed to idols. Paul again has a similarly themed conversation with the Corinthians in the verses that we are discussing. The common thread of these Biblical passages is "food" (as defined in Leviticus) and in what context one is participating in it with regard to idol consecration. NONE of these verses is discussing the definition of food but rather what makes it clean or unclean regarding idols.
We must STOP putting our western thoughts and ideas concerning the definition of "FOOD" onto the Biblical text. Let the Bible define the Bible. It is clearly outlined in Leviticus, Yeshua walked it out and HE did not change it before or after his death, and neither did Paul.
@@NXN66 Acts 15:20 does not use the word "food"/broma. Verse 29 also does not specify broma; it says THINGS sacrificed to idols. Torah folk do a lot of eisegesis to insert their bias into the scriptures.
Paul discarded his Jewish ways and taught his followers the same, however, Jesus taught his followers not to abandon the Laws and to obey the Pharisaic teachings. I believe you already know this!
4...I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;6as to zeal, aa persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.8 More than that, I count all things to be loss 1in view of the surpassing value of 2knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, 1for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but RUBBISH so that I may gain Christ,9 and may be found in Him, NOT having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

You're right. The laws of Yahovah do not apply to Christians. They are only applicable to His Children, Israel. To whom do you belong?

@@TheBiblicalRoots I appreciate that you at least respond to comments. Some other folks spilling propaganda all over the web do not so so. So kudos to you, brother. So here is a question for you. "I will raise up a prophet, from among your kinsmen, like unto Moses." What did Moses do? In the grand scheme of things, he led people out of bondage to the covenant given at Sinai, correct? So, if Yeshua suppose to be like Moses, is it possible that He is supposed to lead folks to the covenant as well? I mean, after all, He didn't come to abolish, but to complete. So, that makes Yeshua a part of the covenant, not a separate covenant all together, correct?

Romans 2:28-29 (KJV) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: [29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Rob Solberg, I am not impressed with one's biblical background, and another thing is that I have no problem calling one out when they are speaking against God's word. By the way, God's word is more important than me worrying about my character. Let me also make something clear: Torah observers, though they eat kosher, don't spend their time teaching what they already know when it comes to food, but because you are pushing a new doctrine called torahism, which attacks God's laws, you need to continue putting out videos that attack God's laws.
Maybe people should go to your website and read some of your articles so they can see that the cursed fig tree was a symbolic representation of a false prophet.
Continue attacking God's law. Just remember what I posted to you: Nietzsche, an atheist, suffered a mental breakdown; a man who was trying to prove that God did not exist died without God in his mind. If you continue to aggressively attack God's laws, you might one day die lawless. Learn from Nietzsche.
Hello again, Sam! I have to say, I am honored by how much time you spend on my YT channel. As I've mentioned to you many times, I do not attack God's law. (And you have yet to come up with even one example where I say anything negative about God's law.) I am not opposed to God's law; I am under it and I am for it. Perhaps you think I am "attacking" it because you misunderstand your own relationship to it under the New Covenant.
Also, I'm not sure why you keep mentioning Nietzsche or what point you are trying to make. I am not an atheist trying to prove God does not exist.
Lastly, are you enjoying the free copy of my book that I sent you?
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Let's assume I spend my time on youTube. What does that have to do with pointing out someone that is opposed to God's laws? Is your comment about spending time on youtube your way of hoping I stop responding to your videos, just asking? By the way, if you add up all the minutes I spend a day on youtube, it's about 30 minutes. If you add that to the time I spend on the internet, it will total about 2 hours, mostly reading. I have not been on any other social media for over 7 to 9 years and don't tend to.
I pointed out to you many times that you are attacking God's laws and asked you questions that you have not yet responded to. Your asking to whom did God give the law and that Gentile believers are not required to keep God's laws, makes it clear that you want nothing to do with God's laws. If you are not attacking God's laws, then why are you putting out videos against Torah observers? Please respond.
You state that you do not oppose God's laws; that you are under them and for them, but you ask me to whom did God give them to? Tell me, to whom did Yeshua was speaking to, to the Gentiles?
I understand the New Covenant; it is clear from Jeremiah. Tell me, if the New Covenant is bread and wine, what did God store inward that Jeremiah 31:31-34 speaks about? By the way, my relationship is not with the law, it is with Yeshua, and we are to be obedient to God's laws. Let me make this clear, I am not trying to burden Gentile believers with the law, we are discussion a topic and I am responding according to the Scriptures.
Nietzsche was a man who was obsessed with trying to disprove God's existence, which was what caused him to have a mental breakdown, and he died without God in his mind. Aggressively speaking against God's laws can cause a man to die lawless. My statement was clear and you were unable to understand it. Jeremiah 31:31-34 is clear and you are unable to understand it. As I said in the past, set the Brit-Chadashah aside, and let's assume Yeshua was not yet born. Go to Jeremiah 31 and read verses 31-34. Tell me what you understand from that passage.
My wife will be away with daughter next week, so I will print it out and start reading it, a chapter a day.
By the way, you did not respond to my Daniel question.

@@judemichaelvelez6789I decided to not respond to anyone but Rob Solberg, but I will respond to you with two questions. Would a messenger of God say the law is not required?

I think your mention of Deuteronomy 14:21 is evidence that's actually even more undebatable than Mark 7.
I agree, Elizabeth. That's a very clear passage and hard to argue with. Rob
Deuteronomy 14:21 your not a foreigner if you are in the new covenant, for those in the new covenant are also a people Holy to the Creator. Meaning those foreigner outside of the covenant can eat the clean animal that died naturally (to a certain limit of how long it died, obviously if it was fresh). Those people in the verse of Deuteronomy 14:21 would not of considered swine as food to eat even if it died naturally. There is a standard for God’s holy people for what food is and what food is not. And Deuteronomy 14:21 was referring to clean animals that died naturally. But all Christians are in covenant, meaning Deuteronomy applies to them also if they are truly holy people
Solberg, redefined Mark 7 by quoting that the Pharisees reprimanded the disciples for not washing their hands before eating food. That’s not the context of Mark 7... The Pharisees reprimanded the disciples for not washing their hands before eating BREAD.
At Mark 7:2 and Mark 7:5 Strong's Definitions: ἄρτος ártos, ar'-tos; from G142; bread (as raised) or a loaf:-(shew-)bread, loaf
Bread is made by barley, wheat and other different types of flours, water and salt... etc... Bread is not mentioned in Leviticus 11 because bread is basically grown from seeds. Which bread falls in Line more with Genesis 1:29. So why is Bread NOT mentioned in Leviticus 11? Because the ingredients to make Bread is grown naturally, meaning it’s considered Clean. Bread is not unclean in itself (As long as you don’t add unclean things in the mix) and for what is considered Food in Leviticus 11, only the clean groups are foods... the unclean groups were never even considered foods. So Solberg by misquoting the context of Mark 7 he redefines what is actually being said from the start. Which by misquoting the context can also can manipulate the conclusion of Mark 7
With the Evidence provided that you can verify yourself. Solberg left out all the most important clues to the true context of Mark 7, inwhich the final conclusion is more in line with the following:
15 There is nothing outside (germs, dirt) a person which, by going into him (unwillingly), can make him unclean (from eating clean bread without washing hands) . Rather, it is the things that come out (words against the Scriptures) of a person which make a person unclean!” Mark 7:15
Another way to look at the commandment of Deuteronomy 14:21 of providing CLEAN food that freshly died naturally to the foreigner out of Covenant was to help those in Need. Deuteronomy 15 and 24 (again unclean groups of Leviticus 11 would not of been even considered as food)
Those who accuse people of eating pork as sinful or unclean, as Jesus stated.. are "without understanding"
Some translations even read.."art thou simple"
I get the connotation that not only is it a point of misunderstanding but it's so obvious it cant be true, that Jesus is basically mocking the idea on its face.
Proverbs 1:22-29
“How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.
But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
“Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,
since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.
So the Christian is simple…….

Genesis 3:1-6,8-24 ASV
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: [3] but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. [8] And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden. [9] And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou? [10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. [11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? [12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. [13] And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. [14] And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: [15] and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [16] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. [17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; [18] thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; [19] in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. [20] And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. [21] And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. [22] And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever- [23] therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. [24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Deuteronomy 11:1,26-28 ASV
Therefore thou shalt love Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, alway.

Deuteronomy 30:11-20 ASV
For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. [12] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? [13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? [14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. [15] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; [16] in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it. [17] But if thy heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; [18] I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days in the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in to possess it. [19] I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed; [20] to love Jehovah thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 ASV

Leviticus 17:12-16 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

No. That passage shows that in ancient Israel, neither the natural-born Israelites nor the strangers among them were allowed to eat blood. Here is a verse that shows that Gentiles were not held to the same dietary standard as the Israelites:
"You shall not eat anything that has died naturally. You may give it to the sojourner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God" (Deut. 14:21).

In the same Torah, here is a verse which shows Israelites allowed to eat a clean animals which died naturally...
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
food laws (Kosher) are explanations of how Christ works on our desires (heart that begins as a BEAST) and is FORMED into MAN within the heart: If we understand how God cleanses our desires through Christ, then we call NOTHING unclean that Christ has cleansed in us:

WHEN MESSIAH RISES WITHIN THE JEW, they will understand all things, including Jesus and how Hashem hides in him: Till then, he causes the stumbling of the Jews because while they reject him as the GREAT IDOL of the world, they don't understand the REAL IDOL is their UNDERSTANDING OF GOD (Hashem) period:
Messiah is not ONE PERSON (even not Jesus) BUT "ONE MAN" (ADAM resurrected): The animate ear (God put Adam in animal skins) can NOT HEAR God or the THINGS OF GOD so it just makes up stuff in its VAIN IMAGINATION even when it hears the truth, it can NOT UNDERSTAND (BINA) the TRUTH:
When Messiah rises in the soul, it opens the eyes in hell (David explains this) and that suffering is unbearable but not for us/ME, but I see the WHOLE CREATION SUFFER and this is unbearable. The suffering of the creation is what Messiah FEELS: Elijah (desire to receive Messiah) came to me in 1990): Within two years, Messiah ROSE IN ME, beheaded my ego, put me in total darkness, SNATCHED MY SOUL out of my body, through the subconscious (SEA) and OUT of the SKULL, to lay upon my neck as HIS OWN HEAD, or the HEAD OF HASHEM: The Bible explains as I saw years later, that this is how it says HASHEM RISES IN US, through the NECK O Immanuel, through JUDAH:
Isa 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
These are the REAL JEWISH FEAST DAYS that Judah must KEEP because it is a VOW Judah took to enter the EVIL ROOT (HELL) and through him, Messiah would RISE to make the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE GOOD, hence a TREE OF LIFE (TORAH) to those who GRASP IT:
Nah 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Elijah and Moses are the TWO Witnesses that are resurrected before the LORD rises within his PEOPLE and yes, the LORD RISES through the ROOT OF JUDAH but Elijah and Moses are from Aaron (John the Baptist in the NT): Why Elijah first? His serpent (WILL to do Gods will) rises in us to swallow our will (Satan) to do evil in us: He makes the CROOKED SERPENT STRAIT and then, when he is finished raising him to the place of the SKULL the LORD will lay his head on this PRIEST because the priest is beheaded of his OWN EGO so the SPIRIT OF THE LORD can "REST" (keep his Sabbath) upon his NECK, hence THE LORD RISES THROUGH THE STIFF NECK to give Israel a "head" as Elijah decreases and the LORD increases: We are beheaded for Messiah and this is why the DEAD IN CHRIST rise FIRST (in the rapture): The NEW HEAD puts us in heavenly places with THE MESSIAH and God because the MESSIAH IS THE HOLY OIL, the HOLY BLOOD OF GOD, of Hashem. ALL this happens within us individually: Here is why I say, Messiah is revealed in every MAN in his own order (I Cor 15): When Messiah is revealed, he brings the RAPTURE which is the RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD Adam we died in. This all started 2000 years ago through JUDAH: But it started before Judah with Abraham, who saw the DAY OF MESSIAH and was GLAD: Gen 15, as the LIGHT ROSE THROUGH HIS DESIRES, animate parts of him, and revealed himself as Melchizadek, (KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
Jesus said John was Elijah if we can "RECEIVE" him: What keeps us from receiving Elijah? We don't DESIRE TO SEE MESSIAH: Only Elijah has this DESIRE (SILVER) in us and as this silver in us is cleansed, because it is blackened, cankered, Malachi explains Elijah from Aaron/Levi must come and pay his TITHE (EGO, the 10% of our consciousness that is our SIN NATURE) and the WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WILL BE OPENED and we will receive so much we can not bear it all: Hence the LORD HIMSELF LAYS HIS HEAD ON US which is why it is written, the HEAD OF the woman is MAN (Adam) and the head of Adam is Messiah and the head of Messiah is YHVH, the LORD, Hashem):
Aaron is described in the Book of Exodus of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) as a son of Amram (people exalted) and Jochebed (YHVHS GLORY) of the tribe of Levi, three years older than his brother Moses: Aaron became the prophet of the people and Moses as God: The prophet (Aaron) speaks the conscience (God) to the people of God
Messiah will be revealed EVERYWHERE when Jews RECEIVE ELIJAH as the DESIRE FOR MESSIAH TO RISE IN THEM and this DESIRE is the ONLY DESIRE that will be able to bring Messiah through the HEART OF GODS PEOPLE:
Christianity is not the ones who have TROUBLE with the REDEMPTION, it is Judaism who struggles with it even while it teaches that it is inevitable. HOW? Well Christianity explains HOW but Judaism rejects the HOW and remains divided between the two souls (neshama and nephesh): THE ANOINTING (Christ in Christianity) and the HOLY SPIRIT (Ruach Qodesh in Judaism) bridge the GAP (Da'at) between the two and bring them together; BOTH have the same truth but they speak in different rhetoric and thereby can not come together as ONE and this is a shame since Christianity are the ten exiled tribes of Israel (Ephraim) that must become one stick with Judah in the end:
ps, the BLOOD OF CHRIST is the anointing that breaks the yoke of the soul's nephesh and yokes it to the neshama which is why neshama is from the root nesham (to destroy) that yoke and bring the consciousness of Hashem and neshama back to the soul to rule within the nephesh, thereby saving both:
With all do respect. The reason we Jews don’t believe isn’t because Jesus hasn’t risen from the dead. It’s because God never mentions it. In fact God is silent on the issues of heaven, hell, eternity, messiah and the need for someone to believe in a messiah to die for sins of the world.
We understand the Christian argument. However it looks like the detective’s thought board AKA murder map with strings wrapped around pushpins and sticky notes all over the place.
I generally don’t disagree with Jesus or what he stood for. That’s why I’m even on this channel learning. It’s the doctrine that solely based around the books of the Prophets taken out of historical context, “foreshadowing “, allegory and the thoughts of Men.
We look to the Torah (instructions from God contained in the first 5 books) for the foundation of our faith. Everything else is commentary, historical, wisdom, poetry and therefore devotional.
We choose to follow the Law of God because we desire it, not because we think we can “earn our way to heaven “. For the most part we love Christian people but detest the doctrine.
We usually don’t even attempt to discuss religion with the 1000’s of different types Christians because, seriously, where would we begin? It feels like jumping into a ball pit where each ball represents a different version of Christianity and they all attack at once.
Short and simple is that it is much more complicated of an issue than simply that we’re blind or stubborn.
Shalom Yvonne 🙂
Professor, I’m actually surprised at you.
You don’t even need to use the Tanakh- use common sense. In biblical times, the kosher food laws kept people healthy. Kosher food laws are superior to any FDA or European food regulations- ask yourself why?
Why would you avoid an old animal that died naturally? Why avoid biblical pork. Why avoid shellfish from the Mediterranean. Honestly- it’s common sense.
Is it really difficult to figure out why washing your hands is a good idea? Why avoid scavengers?
And they were about nutrition. You are going to say that kosher beef or chicken is not superior to non kosher? Where are you on the subject of blood?
Maybe you should ask why honey is kosher but bees are not.
Thanks, CoM! Where in Scripture do you find the idea that the animals prohibited by Yahweh were based on health or nutrition? R.
@@TheBiblicalRoots Common sense. Scavengers have nasty bacterias and such on them. The Kosher food laws only allow the best non marked animals to be eaten. They remove all the blood. They use salt which doubles as a preservative and has anti bacteria properties.
These were the days before refrigeration- it was advantageous to keep the food in great shape and keep folks healthy. I’m looking at this from a common sense point of view.
Do you know how many stomachs or legs bees have, before suggesting anyone to ask a dump question maybe you should do your homework on the pollination of the bees and how they produce the honey, and also read the part of detestable and forbidden insects in Leviticus.
@@luiscajigas5567 I’m not going to waste my time with someone ignorant like you. Once more time Spanky- Honey is kosher. Bees are not. Explain how a non kosher animal can produce a kosher product?
Here is your answer-
honey is kosher since it is not an actual secretion of the bee; the bee functions only as a carrier and facilitator. Honey is kosher flower nectar, which enters the bee's honey sac and is transformed into honey.
@@thechurchofmeat6591 When a Christian gets pushed into a corner and can reason with the scriptures, the first thing they do is attack the other person's character by calling them names, and you are no different. Show me in the scriptures where it says that bees are unclean? If you can read, then read Leviticus 11, again and again until you understand how God defines what insects are clean and unclean. Or ask your cult torahism teacher, Rob.
Very informative video as always.
One for Israel the biggest Messianic Jews organization in Israel actually talks about the Kosher law, this is what they have to say on the matter;
"Kosher laws were connected to the temple and were temporary: “They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings-external regulations applying until the time of the new order” (Hebrews 9:10). Keeping the dietary laws of Leviticus 11 is an essential component of what people mean when they speak of “Torah observance” today. What people often fail to see, however, and what the writer of Hebrews has so perceptively observed, is the connection between the dietary laws and the tabernacle. Leviticus 11 is part of a larger section in Leviticus (Lev 11-15) called the Laws of Purity, all of which are tied to the purity of the tabernacle (Lev 16). For example, if one would catch sickness by eating an unclean animal, he might bring his sickness into the temple and defile it. This is no longer relevant for today. (See 1 Timothy 4:1-4)."
The kosher dietary law was a ceremonial law and not a moral law.
At the end of the day, it is your Christian liberty if you want to eat kosher or not.
Well said, Joshua. Thanks you! R.
That’s not liberty……..Christian’s can eat what ever they want…..they are non-Jews.
Messianic Christianity are not Jews , nor authorities in Orthodox Judaism.
And they still get it wrong….all the time!

Amen
Why didn't you mention the word abomination/detestable which was mentioned 8 times in Leviticus 11? and give the definition for these words? I will tell you why, because if you did the people on this page would question your real motive behind the Torahism Cult. Abomination from 1828 Noah Webster dictionary, whatever is an object of extreme hatred is call an abomination. The detestable: Extremely hateful, abominable, very odious, deserving abhorrence: So, God is telling us that He consider the eating of unclean animals is an evil act against Him. Search out these two words for yourself since you did not give the definition for them. And now you want Believer to eat these detestable and abominable animals and think they are pleasing God? You are confused with your ideology.
Yes, Luis, under the Sinai Covenant, it was an abomination and detestable for an Israelite to eat any of these prohibited animals. But it wasn't an abomination to do so before the Law was given (Gen 9:1-3). And it's not an abomination now, under the New Covenant (1 Cor 10:25-26).
Blessings, R.
@@TheBiblicalRoots The context provides five points:
1. Notice that verse 19-28 set the context in its entirety. Often we separate verse 27 (see above) and are taught if you go to dinner at your friends house to go ahead and eat whatever. Paul is only meaning in context of food sacrificed to idols. He is not saying it is okay to go to your friends house and have a Ham sandwich. Nowhere does Paul state we are allowed to eat anything unclean. This verse is only talking about sacrificial food. Quite a bit of meat was sold at the market that was leftover animal parts from a sacrificed animals. Paul is merely saying don’t worry if you don’t know. Again, not if you don’t know if it is unclean or clean. Only if you don’t know if was killed in a sacrifice to another god!!! Notice in verse 27 (see above) he also states “those who do not believe”. Paul knows at this point in time that those that “do believe’ would never eat unclean food and they would not knowingly eat anything sacrificed to another idol.
2. Nobody would ever have to ask if something is Pork or Shellfish. It is plainly obvious. So no Dietary Law has been lifted here.
3. Paul also states that at no time should we accept food sacrifices made to other gods. Not only should we not accept them, if we did, somebody might get the wrong message and think it is okay. If we know the truth we don’t eat it but if we go to a non-believers home we can eat clean foods sacrificed to another god as long as we haven’t asked. So basically if it’s clean food we can eat with a clear conscience as long as we don’t know it has been sacrificed to another god.
4. The only point of these verse is to differentiate between foods sacrificed to other gods. Again none of it has anything to do with eating unclean meats so we don’t offend our friend that invited us to dinner.
5. Notice in verse 28 it says this “But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” So not only do we not have a lifting of Dietary Law as often taught, but we also see a command to abstain from any food sacrificed to another god. Paul writes that we should not knowingly eat any food offered to an idol even if it’s clean according to The God of ISRAEL commands. Paul’s writings say to avoid any food sacrificed to another god/idol for the sake our of friend and our own conscience sake.
“Always Learning”
Biblical Truth
@@johndias3993 nowhere does Paul say gentiles MUST seat clean
@@TheBiblicalRoots You are making God out to be an idiot and not all-knowing. Why would God declare to Noach the instructions of what is clean and unclean without explaining to Noach the reason behind these instructions? Not only are you quoting Genesis 9:1-3, but you purposely omitted verse 4, because you mentioned in one of your quotes to Sam in the prior video that you didn't have a problem in eating blood sausage. Verse 4 would contradict what you mentioned before. Is YeHoVaH the absent-minded God, you portray him to be?
Using the word kosher is not the correct usage of the word when discussing scripture, since the word itself is not found in the word of God but found in Rabbinic teaching only. Using the word kosher only spelled out God's total instructions from "unclean/clean" to "only clean."
If eating blood is unclean as specified in Genesis 9, then in Acts 15, the instruction of clean and unclean is being revealed in baby steps to the Gentiles in preparation of what they will learn when taught about Moses and the instruction of God.
=========""""""Is it unclean to eat blood and strangle animals?""""===========
@@TheBiblicalRoots if God in Genesis 7 made it clear that there are clean and unclean animals, then Genesis 9 is being pulled out of context, because why would God say all meat is good to eat but then command his people to not eat unclean animals? If I tell you to set aside all drugs, the bad drugs (those that harm the body) and the good drugs (those that benefit the body), then I say all drugs are good for you. Would you take the bad drugs?

Please respond to the following question: if Yeshua was physically present, would you tell him that the laws are not required but permissible, yes or no?
Some of your Torah keeping friends do NOT think that following the dietary laws are "required" for the followers of Christ. First, let me tell you that NO law is "required" for there is NO law that can give life! God's law is His righteousness, not ours! Before I go on, I will say that following the dietary laws IS a biblical position. Watching your video I see where you are coming from and why you hold to the position you do. You do not consider yourself Israel, you have decided to stay a Gentile. Even though Paul in Romans 11 talks about Gentiles grafting in to the cultivated Olive Tree(which is Israel!) Paul talks about you ONCE being Gentiles in the flesh in Eph. 2. You have a duel covenant theology. The church and Israel are one in the same. When you come to Christ, you are not to stay a Gentile, you graft in. So, now read your Deuteronomy and Leviticus passages about the dietary restriction. These restrictions you rightly said, set us apart! Why? Because we are doing what the Father requires of us, NOT because it is required or for our righteousness, but because we love Him. 1 John 2:3 tells us IF we love Him we will obey Him. We obey out of love, NOT because it is required or for our salvation.
I would also disagree that these food laws do not have a nutritional element to them, because they do. Ever notice how all the foods that God says not to eat are not actually good for us! Take everyone's favorite, the pig, do you realize this animal is actually quite disgusting. It will eat just about anything. It has no sweat gland therefore it does not get rid of toxins. This is why it has to be cooked at such high temperatures, because it is filled with parasites. We do not digest it very well because of all these toxins and it tends to remain in the gut longer than beef. Shellfish are also garbage eaters. They feed off of excrement from the bottom of the seafloor. Some people are even allergic to the toxins and cannot eat them. I see the dietary laws as God's loving commandments to protect us. I see His wisdom in giving us these commandments. God tells us we are blessed for obedience and cursed for disobedience. The blessings you get from obeying these laws is better health and the curse you get is sicknesses! No law is "required" because God wants us to obey out of love, NOT for salvation!!
I am NOT forced to re-interpret Mark 7! Mark 7 is not even dealing with dietary law. It is all about the extra biblical laws that the Pharisees were placing on the poeple for righteousness, you did get that part correct. We know this by keeping these verses in context. Right before He tells them it is not what goes into the body that defiles a man He is talking about how the Pharisees, by their tradition, make the word of God to no effect. You mention verse 15 where Jesus says there is nothing that enters a man from the outside, but what were the disciples eating in the first place? Was it an unclean animal? NO, it was bread! Therefore, this cannot mean that you can now eat pork, shellfish, bat, rat, and whatever else you want. This entire passage has NOTHING to do with the dietary laws! It has everything to do with the extra biblical laws the Pharisees were forcing on the people for their own righteousness! There is NO law that can provide righteousness to anyone. You are correct that some translations have in paranthesis (thus Jesus made all foods clean.) This does mean it was added by the translators. The translators do not always get it right, and in this case, they clearly got it wrong. In verse 19 Jesus is telling them that food, which in this case was bread that was eaten without hand washing does not defile a man. Why? because it is elimnated from the body when he uses the restroom purifying the food, which in this case was bread eaten with unwashed hands! It was not pork! We cannot make food clean by praying over it and Jesus did not make the unclean animals somehow clean now. What makes an unclean animal unclean in the first place?? It is what the animal eats! As I stated before, the animals that God tells us not to eat are mostly scavengers, they eat all kinds of very disgusting things that you would not eat! So why would you now eat the animal that is eating these disgusting things??? Jesus did not change the dietary habits of a pig! You cannot pray the unceanness away because it is what that animal is eating that makes it unclean! This should be common sense! The real problem with the dietary laws is that some people make it about righteousness unto salvation and make it some kind of requirement on the believer. While it is NOT required, once you accept Jesus as your Lord, you should WANT to follow these laws because you realize He wants what is best for us!
You once again make God's law the problem, when it is not. Our fallen nature is the problem. We do not want to obey Him in this fallen state. The dietary laws do not save anyone! They are there to set us apart as a holy people unto God. They are there for our protection. We are the temples of the Living God, so why would we want to defile our temples by eating things that are not good for us? I find it funny that we got into this mess because the first Adam disobeyed a dietary law!! And now we somehow think that the second Adam now just did away with His Father's rightous laws on dietary restrictions. Makes NO sense to me! After God gave us these dietary restrictions, He called us to be holy as He is Holy, not for our salvation, but because we love Him and we trust that He knows what is best for us. These dietary laws are followed for no other reason than that I trust in my God and that He knows what is best for me! I know He did not give them so that when Messiah came He would just undo them.
SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, FOTK! I agree with you 100% that God's law is not the problem, it is our fallen nature. And that dietary laws do not save anyone. Well said!
Allow me to correct you on one thing: I _do_ consider myself a member of Israel in the sense of having been grafted or adopted into God's pre-existing family. And I have not _decided_ to stay a Gentile. (And BTW I am using the biblical definition of a Gentile as someone who is not a physical descendent of Abraham through Jacob, aka a non-Jewish person.) My "Gentile-ness" is not something I get to decide, it is the ethnicity God chose for me. And coming to faith in His Son does not change that. I am a gentle believer in Jesus. The body of Christ is comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, people "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages" (Reb 7:9).
Also, if the food laws were chosen for nutritional reasons, that would mean God didn't care about nutrition for anyone who lived before Moses (Gen 9:1-3), nor for anyone who is not Jewish (Deut 14:21).
Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Hi Rob, thank you for your response, I would love to dialog with you. Let me say, I understand how you don't stop being a Gentile in a physical sense, but a spiritual sense, and I meant it in the same way. I look at is as joining a nation. I don't stop being whatever nationality I was born into, but I become a citizen of the nation I live in. I begin to abide by the laws of that nation, and I call myself by that nation's identity.
Going back to the food laws for a moment. I mentioned that they have a nutritional element to them. That doesn't mean that God didn't care about those who lived before Moses because they did know the difference between clean and unclean before it was spoken to Moses. Noah had to gather 7 clean and 2 of the unclean animals onto the ark. So, the world knew the difference. Before the building of the city of Babel, we were all one, we spoke one languange and God dealt with us as ONE. The nations did not come about until the dividing of the languages. I believe the bible is a book of restoratation and the giving of the law to the nation of Israel during the days of Moses was because we had forgetten the ways of the One True Living God. This was a beginning step in that restoration process. Israel's purpose is to be a light to the world so that the nations who are not serving God will see His wisdom. Deut. 4:5-8 talk about this. God's law is our wisdom so that the nations will see we are a wise and understanding people. We cannot take credit for that, credit is given to the one who gave us this wisdom.
I am glad you said you believe you are grafted in to God's pre-existing family. Then you must also believe we are to be a holy nation. A chosen generation, a royal priesthood as Peter talks about in 1 Peter 2:9. Peter is getting this from Ex. 19:6. Let me ask you Rob, what is a priests duty? Aren't they supposed to make a distinction between the holy and the profane, between the CLEAN and the UNCLEAN?? Rob, you are a teacher and God has called you to teach His people. You understand we do not eat biblically clean for some kind of righteousness. We make that distiction because God has called us to this. Jesus and His followers did not eat unclean animals. We read of that in Acts where Peter has his vision. When told to rise, kill and eat, Peter said he has NEVER eaten anything common or unclean. Was he doing that because of some kind of righteousness?? No, Peter understood the gospel and he knew that eating clean did not make him righteous. So, why then would he have not eaten unclean?? Could you at least consider the possibility that he was still eating biblically clean because he loved God and he believed God knew what was best for him, so he obeyed out of that love. That he knew he was to be set apart as an example to others??
You stated in your video that Jesus taught them in Mark 7 that NOTHING that goes into the body makes one unclean and Jesus was using this as a "teachable" moment. Then why was Peter still not eating unclean things in the book of Acts??
I pray you don't take this as being arguementative, because that is not my intention. I don't believe God just gave these dietary restictions as theological hoops for us to jump through for Him. There ARE reasons behind them and there absolutely is a nutritional ELEMENT to them. That is not the sole purpose, but it is an element of the giving of these instructions. They are God's wisdom and His understanding of His creation! We, as His holy and set apart nation should know this. This is why I believe they should be taught, but we MUST teach it with the understanding that we are not doing this in order to be saved!! 1 John 3:7 tells us we PRACTICE righteousness. Righteousness according to Ps. 119:172 tells us that God's commandments are righteousness, not ours, but HIS!! When we practice something we will not always get it right, and this is where the grace come in!!
Blessings, Ray
@@RestorationofallThings I really appreciate your responses, FOTK. Thanks! You make a good point in that being adopted into God's family doesn't mean that we lose our original ethnicity. We still come from the family we came from, but now we're adopted into (and members of) a _new_ family. And the "family rules" under the New Covenant do not include the Mosaic rituals such as eating kosher, keeping the feasts, circumcision, and so on. Not even Jewish believers in Jesus are required to do those things as a matter of righteousness, or obedience, or salvation. They have not been forbidden, of course. But they are no longer required. Which leads to your other question. Peter was still eating kosher in the book of Acts because (a.) as an observant Jew raised on the Torah, it took him a while to get the message-it was a huge change! and (b.) a kosher diet was never forbidden. It just stopped being required, as God showed Peter in the vision in Acts 10.
As for the food laws, I agree with you that there are reasons behind the specific animals God listed. But the Bible does not tell us what those reasons are, other than it was to keep Israel holy. Israel alone was restricted from eating certain animals, which made them holy (set apart) from all the other nations who were not given that same dietary restriction. But the idea of nutritional value is not found in the Bible. It _could_ have been part of God's reasoning, but we have no way of knowing because the Bible makes no comment about nutrition as it relates to the kashrut laws.
Blessings, Rob
Thank you for defending correct interpretation of scripture. 👍
Paul discarded his Jewish ways and taught his followers the same, however, Jesus taught his followers not to abandon the Laws and to obey the Pharisaic teachings.

In Deut 12:21 God tells the Jews to slaughter animals "as I have commanded you," yet this command is not in the Bible. Does this imply that the Jews had additional, unwritten laws?
Oral Torah!!!! Which Christianity does not believe in………
So you think that only a dead man gave the law/ritual of washing hands………either it complete ignorance or pride………
Psalms 26:6
I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
Psalm 73:13
Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
In Judaism, ritual washing, or ablution, takes two main forms. Tevilah (טְבִילָה) is a full body immersion in a mikveh, and netilat yadayim is the washing of the hands with a cup.
According to the Shulchan Aruch, a person should wash both hands before prayer. This hand washing does not require the use of a cup (or similar vessel), though many have the custom to use a cup. No blessing is recited on this washing. If water cannot be obtained, the hands may be cleaned in another manner instead.
The washing of hands is required before eating a meal at which bread is served. One reason for hand washing is purely mundane: to clean them before eating. The origin of this law, however, is biblical (Exodus 30:17-21). Moses was commanded to make a copper laver and to place it at the entrance to the altar area so that Aaron and his sons could wash their hands before approaching the altar to offer sacrifices. Verse 20 concludes, “. . .and it shall be for them a statute forever.” The washing of hands makes them ritually pure. This symbolic expression of washing away impurity from one’s hands dates back to Temple times, when the priests (Kohanim), as described above with Aaron, devoted their lives to the Temple and its sacrificial system. Before performing any ritual, a Kohein was required to wash his hands, making himself pure and ready to offer a sacrifice.
When the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, the table in a home came to represent the Temple altar. The bread placed on it symbolizes the offerings that were once brought to the priests. The sages who believed that the Temple and the priesthood would be restored did not want the practice of washing hands before handling an offering or performing a ritual to be forgotten, and so washing the hands before a meal was strictly enforced. Today, Orthodox and traditional Jews still wash their hands before eating bread.
Now your just out right lying…..!
Asserting, "...According to the Shulchan Aruch, a person should wash both hands before prayer. This hand washing does not require the use of a cup (or similar vessel), though many have the custom to use a cup. No blessing is recited on this washing. If water cannot be obtained, the hands may be cleaned in another manner instead..." , why do you think it is recorded that Yeshua said only the feet need be clean in John 13:9-10?
Btw, R L Solberg is certainly preaching a different Messiah who sought to change the Torah, claiming it was because of a different covenant, but here Yeshua is very much living and no atonement has been made, crazy stuff.

Your assertion of Shulchan Aruch is from Wikipedia……….so trusted…. !
Thank you for showing that you don’t study the Jewish codes laws.
Please give me the verse that specifies in Jewish scripture that provides that it is a commandment for Jews , that Jesit can start and actually argument……
Now we should use logic……..that if you don’t remember what you have touched from the day….or when you where sleeping……one should wash hand before touching sacred scripture……..would you meet with a king with dirty hands…..?……or a dirty mouth…..?…….contaminations are from touch…….
Psalms 2:12
Yearn for purity, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion.
Interesting how the Christian Bible is antithetical to the Tanakh, and Jesit went towards the feet……and we are talking about hands…….all ways the opposite!
@@Pverb623 my comment was a query given the apparent emphasis on feet in the Gospel literature. Your sources seem to align well with the Islamic literature. I study all of them. I am not a witness to their original sources. I am glad you are sharing a Jewish perspective.

Please take a step back again……
Christianity and Islam where both taken from the Hebrew scripture.
Jeremiah 2:27
They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’
The god of wood 🪵 is Jesit of Christianity.
The god of stone is Mecca 🕋
Christianity believes that all Jew must convert to Christianity for Christianity to be truth…….
Islam believes one way or another…all Jews must die, for Islam to be truth……
Yet both say that Judaism was truth first…..or how else would they be now……
Christianity believes….I get all the gifts of the Jews that God gave them……simply by believing in His son….Jesit. No toil, no works…….
Islam believes that all holy books (Tanakh and the NT) have issues and are corrected by the Quran.
(If you have read something similar from a Quran Surah…….it’s because that is one of the parts taken.)
The NT is from Greek mythology, Paul is actually from a parable about ……Saul….but King Saul…..who called on the dead to reach God.
The Torah cannot be false and the NT and/or the Quran true……anything true isn’t new….and anything new isn’t true.
Ecclesiastes.
Kosher slaughter was given only to the Jews through oral Torah …..showing that gentiles were never to have that gift.

And actually there has to be one truth…..so yes…..an exclusive truth from Judaism……
Isaiah 45:23
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.’
Isaiah 40:5
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Psalms 95:6
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
Zechariah 8:23
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”
Kind of exclusive, I would say!
Basically, our coming place of glory is not about food. These torahist thinks eating the right food or clean and unclean matters. Go to India or China and try to preach about koshier...u will not coz that doesnt matter. What matters is Jesus Christ gospel of salvation. So stop this torahism...doesnt help the message of salvation thru Christ. Ask urselves....does this really matter in Gods kingdom....or Christ? Either u preach Jesus or the torah...chose and then go on your way. My prayers to Dr. Rob. Read comments and i know u are in the right tract coz ur life is now being threatened....thats a good sign actually. PADAYUN LANG Dr. Rob.

Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity
.to be fair have not watch all the video yet..but have a question for you?,, you seem to understand the laws were given to ISRAEL...so When someone from another land comes to the USA...and wants to become a us citizen do they have to follow the laws of the USA or not? .its the same for anyone who wants to be grated into ISRAEL. SEE Geneva Eph 2:12 That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world. See also Hew 8 the only exception is the sacrifices:Jesus was the last one.but those days are to be kept as a memorials..All the laws are about our father loving us and us loving him and other...do you think our father wants us now to eat things he said was not ever meant for food??
p.s just to help....this whole subject confused I as well but then it came to me and I understood . all foods were always always clean but not all animals were meant for food.

8. When Noah had made these supplications, God, who loved the man for his righteousness, granted intire success to his prayers: and said, that it was not He who brought the destruction on a polluted world; but that they underwent that vengeance on account of their own wickedness; and that he had not brought men into the world, if he had himself determined to destroy them. It being an instance of greater wisdom not to have granted them life at all, than, after it was granted, to procure their destruction. But the injuries, said he, they offered to my holiness and virtue, forced me to bring this punishment upon them. But I will leave off for the time to come to require such punishments, the effects of so great wrath, for their future wicked actions: and especially on account of thy prayers. But if I shall at any time send tempests of rain, in an extraordinary manner, be not affrighted at the largeness of the showers; for the water shall no more over-spread the earth. However, I require you to abstain from shedding the blood of men; and to keep your selves pure from murder; and to punish those that commit any such thing. >>>>>I permit you to make use of all the other living creatures at your pleasure, and as your appetites lead you: for I have made you lords of them all; both of those that walk on the land, and of those that swim in the waters, and of those that fly in the regions of the air on high: excepting their blood: for therein is the life.

@@johndias3993 lev 11 1-2 ONLY FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
When you go into an unbelievers house eat whatever they put in front of you……..In the historical setting Paul said this YOU can’t do this keeping Torah……
Yes my friend....because the gospel of Christ takes precidence i ALL in order for ALL TO HEAR THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.....and not the torah. Salvation from eternal damnation thru Jesus Christ is utmost in Pauls message. These torahist thinks they are better than St. Paul.
The context provides five points:
1. Notice that verse 19-28 set the context in its entirety. Often we separate verse 27 (see above) and are taught if you go to dinner at your friends house to go ahead and eat whatever. Paul is only meaning in context of food sacrificed to idols. He is not saying it is okay to go to your friends house and have a Ham sandwich. Nowhere does Paul state we are allowed to eat anything unclean. This verse is only talking about sacrificial food. Quite a bit of meat was sold at the market that was leftover animal parts from a sacrificed animals. Paul is merely saying don’t worry if you don’t know. Again, not if you don’t know if it is unclean or clean. Only if you don’t know if was killed in a sacrifice to another god!!! Notice in verse 27 (see above) he also states “those who do not believe”. Paul knows at this point in time that those that “do believe’ would never eat unclean food and they would not knowingly eat anything sacrificed to another idol.
2. Nobody would ever have to ask if something is Pork or Shellfish. It is plainly obvious. So no Dietary Law has been lifted here.
3. Paul also states that at no time should we accept food sacrifices made to other gods. Not only should we not accept them, if we did, somebody might get the wrong message and think it is okay. If we know the truth we don’t eat it but if we go to a non-believers home we can eat clean foods sacrificed to another god as long as we haven’t asked. So basically if it’s clean food we can eat with a clear conscience as long as we don’t know it has been sacrificed to another god.
4. The only point of these verse is to differentiate between foods sacrificed to other gods. Again none of it has anything to do with eating unclean meats so we don’t offend our friend that invited us to dinner.
5. Notice in verse 28 it says this “But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.” So not only do we not have a lifting of Dietary Law as often taught, but we also see a command to abstain from any food sacrificed to another god. Paul writes that we should not knowingly eat any food offered to an idol even if it’s clean according to Yahweh’s commands. Paul’s writings say to avoid any food sacrificed to another god/idol for the sake our of friend and our own conscience sake.

wow you really need to study young man..no where in scripture does he say this! What you say paul say and what paul really say are two very different things...Paul, in no uncertain terms, tells us what he thinks of the law. He states, "Therefore, the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy and righteous and good . . . " (Romans 7:12). The idea that believers who have faith abolish or no longer need God's law was a foreign concept to the apostle Paul.
Are we, then, abolishing law through faith? May it never be! Rather, we are establishing law (Romans 3:31).
All Scripture (including the Old Testament) is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work (2Timothy 3:16).

Because they were holy people to Yehova God, they could not eat any strangled animals. Were the Gentiles holy people in God's eyes? If no, then you would understand why they would eat strangled animals; they would eat anything.
Another thing is that just because it was called unclean doesn't make it clean when it was given to the Gentiles. The Gentiles (the unclean) would eat anything unclean, as they do today. Just like God separated the clean animals from the unclean animals, he set the holy people apart from the Gentiles, the unclean people.
All the trees that God planted in the Garden of Eden were good for food. Was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from which man was forbidden to eat, pleasing to the eye and good for food? Disobedient to God's command, they brought filth upon themselves when they partook of it. That is the filth that an unclean animal brings upon a person, which is why many people are getting sick, and I have posted this in the past.
I was told that someone spoke these words: if it was forbidden to sacrifice unclean animals in the temple, why would one, being the temple of God, want to pollute the temple of God?
In the past, I responded to you on this and about Mark 7, apparently, but being that you want nothing to do with the God of Israel and God's laws, you would trash anything that you disagree with. Just remember what I posted to you: Nietzsche, an atheist, suffered a mental breakdown; a man who was trying to prove that God did not exist died without God in his mind. If you continue to aggressively attack God's laws, you might one day die lawless. Learn from Nietzsche.
By the way, you are becoming redundant in your videos, and that is because you have nothing else to talk about. You are playing scrabble with the word of God.
Hey, Sam! Redundant? Maybe. But as long as there are folks out there like you, who keep trying to claim that 2+2=5 (theologically speaking), I am going to put out videos repeating the fact that 2+2=4.
You said, "Another thing is that just because it was called unclean doesn't make it clean when it was given to the Gentiles." Agreed! The Gentiles were allowed to eat unclean food. In other words, the kosher food laws did not apply to Gentiles then, and they do not now. You also said, "Just like God separated the clean animals from the unclean animals, he set the holy people apart from the Gentiles, the unclean people." Exactly! Now you're starting to get it. It was a sort of object lesson. The Mosaic laws were only given to Israel, not to everyone.
Lastly, I have to say this: If you think my videos are redundant, you should take a look at how often you bear false witness against me and slander me. Now _that_ is a pattern that is getting old!. And, respectfully, the only thing it accomplishes is the revealing of your character.

@@TheBiblicalRoots Yes, the gentiles were allowed to eat unclean food when they were considered heathens. But if you are now attached to the Holy olive branch you are no longer consider heathens, therefore you should not be eating detestable and abomination unclean animals like a heathen, you should be eating like God's holy and chosen people were commanded to eat, only that which was define as clean. If any man defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is HOLY, that is what you are. How can you now being consider Holy bring an unclean animal into a Holy temple, then offer up yourself as a living sacrifice?
@@TheBiblicalRoots I am not trying to change anyone's mind; that is not my job. I am here to point out the heresy that you are teaching, and I made it clear that you are teaching a new doctrine called Torahism, which is a doctrine of demons, a doctrine that wants nothing to do with the God of Israel nor with God's laws, a doctrine that teaches to rebel against God's laws.
Just like Jezebel, who was unclean, was thrown to the dogs, God is showing us here that the unclean will accept anything that is unclean. Under no circumstances am I saying that Gentiles are dogs, but rather that the unclean will accept anything that is unclean, which is why God said to give it to the Gentiles because they were unclean and would eat that which is unclean. Look at what God said to Israel: "You shall be holy men to Me; therefore you shall not eat any flesh torn to pieces in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs. Consider how the Proverbs compare men who return to their old ways: "A dog returning to its vomit is like a fool returning to his folly." Does that mean that a man is a dog? No, it is just a figure of speech to get a point across, which is why I said the above, not that I was saying Gentiles are dogs, which you probably will conclude. And if that what you conclude and call me on it that is bearing false witness, but then I don't care what you say, what's important to me is that you be pointed out as a false teacher.
The only thing I get is that you are now being deceptive with the remark you made, "Exactly! Now you're starting to get it. It was a sort of object lesson." You are playing scrabble with your mind. The statement that you made that God's laws were only given to Israel, not to everyone, just proves that you want nothing to do with God's laws.
Why are you quoting one of the laws when you stated that they do not apply to Gentile believers? As previously stated, the Greek word "dipsuchos" defines a double-minded person like you, and I am not being sarcastic. Another thing is that I am not bearing false witness against you; I am pointing out a doctrine that you are pushing called Torahism, and the above outlines this doctrine that you are pushing. I am not slandering you; I am exposing the distorting doctrine that you are teaching.
Throw away your theology degree and allow the Holy Spirit to enlighten your mind with scriptural truth in what God revealed the first time he spoke.
@@luiscajigas5567 Hi Luis. Where did you get the idea that "Gentiles were allowed to eat unclean food when they were considered heathens. But if you are now attached to the Holy olive branch you are no longer consider heathens." Is that something you find taught in Scripture?

"A sincere call to all Christians and Ex-Christians who listen Tovi Singers podcasts:
Jesus was not Jewish.
Jesus was not Jewish in an ancestral sense because he was not from the Yahuda tribe, the dominant tribe in the Yahuda Kingdom, which was created after the breakup with Northern Kingdom of Israel, but rather from the Levi tribe. The Levi tribe was the tribe of Moses and Aaron. This tribe is not even considered from 12 tribes of Israel by current "Jewish orthodoxy" due to its political, economical and manpower weakness. This tribe was just respected by others due to its truthful devotion to the Mosaic law and prayer and work at the temple. This tribe was also the only tribe which didn't worship the Golden calf.
Jesus had no father, thus he never said in the Qur'an when speaking to the Sons of Israel "Oh my people" like other Messengers used to say in the Qur'an when they speak to their people, he always said "Oh Sons of Israel" denying to be part of them because of the non existing lineage with them. He is the only Messenger of God in the Qur'an, who spoke in this way.
Also the lineage goes down through the father in the Levi tribe, in opposition to Yahuda tribe where the lineage goes down through the mother. Thus, Maryam (Maria) was the daughter of a man from the Levi tribe. Her mother was praised by Allah in the Qur'an. Probably also Levi. Thus making Maryam alayhissalam and Jesus purely Levi.
Jews were and still are awaiting a Messiah from their Yahuda tribe. Allah denied them this favor and chose the Messiah to be from the Levi tribe, the tribe of Moses and Aaron, which had and still has no political economical or manpower meaning. This is making very clear why Jews denied Jesus alayhissalam as the Messiah.
Jesus was also not Jewish in a theological sense because he was rejected and accused of deviance and heresy by the Jewish "orthodox" rabbis of his time. Otherwise he would be owned by them.
So what was Jesus then?
Jesus was from the House of Aaron and Moses. Born without a father. Messenger of God, who was saved from torture and death by the hand of his enemies and raised up to heaven to finally come back on earth to kill the Antichrist, to destroy the cross which is an symbol of humiliation and lie, kill the pig, establish the proof and truth that he is the Messiah and a purely human Messenger and Servant of God without any divine nature and through this establishment of the Truth ending the religious tolerance, called Dhimma status, in Islam for the People of the Scripture, Ahlu Kitaab, Christians and Jews. Only Submission to God Almighty alone will be allowed after his establishment of the Truth.
Who were the true followers of Jesus back then?
The Ebionites who believed in his miraculous birth and him being a Messenger and Servant of God like Moses and others before him without any divinity in his nature as described in the history of the church by Eusebius, the earliest and only surviving historical account of the church of the early period of Christianity."
Thanks, Afşin! You seem to be using neither the biblical definition of the word _Jew,_ nor the English definition. The dictionary defines it as “a member of the people and cultural community whose traditional religion is Judaism and who come from the ancient Hebrew people of Israel.” And in Scripture, the word _Jew_ (In Hebrew: יְהוּדִי y’hudi, In Greek: Ἰουδαῖος _loudaious_ ) has the same meaning.
This is true in the OT and the NT. Nehemiah 2:16: “…and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest who were to do the work.” (Notice he mentions priests, who were from the tribe of Levi, which was not part of the southern kingdom of Judah.) And John 2:13: “The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.” Was the Passover only celebrated by the two tribes of Judah? Of course not. That feast was given long before Israel split in two.
So the word _Jew_ in the Bible refers to all 12 tribes.
Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots
The Levi tribe is not considered a tribe of the 12 tribes but rather the 13th tribe technically but they don't call them a tribe due to their "weakness".
@@afsinakatsuki8526 The Qur'an does not say what you say. The Qur'an confirms the genealogy declared by prophet Zechariah, being the third component. Before commenting on the former Books of God you should do some basic research on their content. Allah affirms the believer as one who believes in the former and the Qur'an (Surah Amram/3, ayah/v.119). Moreover Allah declares thus:
And, upon their footprints, We sent Yeshua ben Miriam, confirming what was between his hands from the Torah. And We gave him the Gospel; in it Guidance and light; and confirming what was between his hands from the Torah.
And [it is] a guidance and an interpretation to the pious-ones. - Surah The Table/5, ayah/v.46.
So, the Torah has not changed seen Yeshua came, it remains intact, nearly to the same standard of the Qur'an, else Allah would have noted the matter, and the essence of the Gospel is affirmed in the Qur'an, although the marginalised infancy narrative is given the most detail. Perhaps you should believe in the 12 sons of Ishmael before you seek converts (I'm guessing that you don't for now), and reject the caliphs who were too busy vying for power and beating Fatima to attend Nabi Mohammad's funeral as being the rightly guided ones.
@@nickmansfield1 keep your judeochristian fairy tales for yourself. Nobody asked for it.
@@afsinakatsuki8526 damn, so you are a follower of the heretics, but you were commanded otherwise. I love Imam Ali and I have had dreams about him and you are on the wrong side.
For all of you who have received a cup of kool-aid from Rob, I suggest you examine it before you accept it. What Rob is teaching is contrary to the word of God. And I will prove it to you, but don't take my word for it. Examine as the Bereans did before accepting anything Paul said.. At 17:39 minutes into his debate with Tovia, Rob said the following: He quotes Rabbi Maomonides on Deuteronomy 13:2-4 exposition in the Mishneh Torah. He says if a prophet can substantiate his claim by miracle and proof, Israel must obey him, but if the prophet seeks to discredit the teaching of Moses, we know for certain he's a false prophet.
a) Rob, explain what a false prophet is.
b) Rob claimed that Jesus was resurrected by the God of Israel, and yet he said that Jesus is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. How does that work?
(c) Rob teaches that the instructions of God are permissible but not required. Read point "a" before you accept the kool-aid cup.
d) When asked about Deuteronomy 4:2, he would not give an answer, because he believed that God was only talking to the Jewish people when it came to substracting or adding to the scriptures. If that is the case, then no gentiles can take hold of any promises or blessings that are quoted in the Tanakh because God is only talking to the Jewish people. Also, no gentiles should be participating in the bread and wine given by the Messiah since Yeshua was only talking to the Jewish disciples and people that he was ministering to.
e) Rob stated in the video that the Messiah did not abolish the law, but rather fulfilled it. If you understand the Greek word pleroo, it does not bring an end to something that has no end. Rob believes forever doesn't mean eternal, it means for a period of time. He would be partially correct. But when does that period of time end? Yeshua said until heaven on earth passes away, not one title or jot should pass away from the instructions of God. Matthew 5:18. Remember the words Yeshua said in Matthew 5:17? "Do not think." Are you thinking about abrogating the instructions of God?
f) If God's instructions are done away with, then you must ask yourself the question: what new covenant did Yeshua inaugurate and place in your heart as the book of Hebrews explicitly tell us what the new covenant is?
Torahism is cult teaching to get believers in Messiah to rebel against God's instructions. Proverb 28:9 says, "He who turns away his ear from listening to the Torah"instructions", even his prayer is an abomination. Read it for yourselves.
So, my fellow believers, are you going to listen to Rob, who is telling you that the instruction of God is "not required" and you should not obey God's instructions, or are you going to obey Gods word, who is sending you a message through His words? My name is Luis Cajigas, I am saved by grace, and not by the Law. But I do defend God's eternal words.
You crack me up, Luis! Thank you for sharing. I agree with you 100% that no one should take my word for it, but should examine the Scripture for themselves. Thanks for that important reminder. As to your list of points:
a) A false prophet is someone whose predictions to do not come to pass (Deut 18:22)
b) Who knows how this works? The Trinity is a mystery. And while we may not fully understand _how_ it worked, we know that it did happen: The God of Israel resurrected Jesus, who was God incarnate.
(c) You are making a false statement about me, Luis. (And I hope it was a mistake, rather than an intentional deception.) You claimed, "Rob teaches that the instructions of God are permissible but not required." That is 100% false. I teach that we ought to obey God's instructions out of love and gratitude. But God's instructions for His people under the New Covenant do not include eating kosher, Saturday Sabbath, keeping the feasts, or circumcision. Not every command that God has ever given applies to every person at all times. Some of His commands were only given for certain people or certain times. And we're each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us.
d) I did give an answer about Deut 4:2, which you mentioned yourself: this command was given to the Israelites.
e) This is another misstatement, Luis. I am concerned that you are not paying attention. (Either that or not being honest?) You said, "Rob believes forever doesn't mean eternal," but I've never said that. What I said is that the Hebrew word "olam" does not always mean "forever." Details matter, my friend.
f) You said, "If God's instructions are done away with..." I do not believe that God's instructions are done away with.
Your comment ends with one more misstatement/lie, Luis. You said, "Rob...is telling you that the instruction of God is 'not required' and you should not obey God's instructions." As I explained above, that is 100% false.
It's important to remember that the Law of Moses is not everything God commanded. The "laws" of God that run the universe and define right and wrong have been true from the very beginning, and will never change. Murder and greed and wickedness and sin were wrong long before the Law of Moses, and they will always be wrong. Because those things are contrary to the very nature of God.
The Law of Moses, on the other hand, was given at a specific time to specific people for a specific purpose. Much of what was given at Mount Sinai included God's universal "laws," of course. Because they never change! But much of the Law of Moses was given to turn a ragtag group of recent slaves into a nation set apart for God: Israel. And embedded in those laws of ceremony, ritual, distinction, and civil order were shadows that pointed to Christ. And it's _those_ laws that have been fulfilled by Christ and are no longer binding under the New Covenant.
Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob, I will answer according to your response to my question. I am glad that you are being amused.
a) False Prophet: Not only is a false prophet one that propheizes falsely, but someone who speaks on God's behalf without being instructed to do so by God Himself, such as your claim that you received a divine assignment to speak against God's instruction and write a book on a new cult called Torahism that you coined.
(b) Is Yeshua God in the flesh? Could you please show me where it is stated in the Bible that Yeshua is God incarnate? By the way, before you answer this question, John 1:1-3 is not God that is being talked about, but the son of God. There was recently discovered writing that did not say, and the word was God. If you want, I can show you what it says, and the word was at the right hand of God.
c) Deut 4:2,Yes, I did mention that it was given to the Jews. But does that mean it doesn't apply to the Gentiles? If it's not meant for the gentiles, then why should the gentiles bother reading the Tanakh, since you have already established that Jesus of the New Testament is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
d) was pointed to the letter section "a" about a false prophet
e)Eternal: But you did mention, in the light of the conversation, of the instructions of God. Read Matthew 5, where Yeshua says that until Heaven and Earth pass away, not one title or jot shall pass away.
f) Are God's instructions obsolete? Saying that God's instructions are permissible but not required implies that a person has the option to obey or disobey God. Do you ponder your own words, or do you just blurt out words that sound good to you? Show me scriptures that explicitly state that the Sabbath is a ceremonial law, or is it a term coined by theologians to separate God's instructions individually so that each instruction can be attacked separately?
My question to you: if God has a complete hatred and abhors the eating of unclean animals, then why would our Messiah come and tell the Jews, whom Yeshua was talking to, that it is okay now to eat something that was abhorrent and hateful to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Do you think you can witness to a Jewish person today and tell them that it is okay to eat unclean animals? or that the instructions of God are permissible but not required? Are you really thinking you are going to win them over with these two statements you are making? How are they going to make them jealous?
@@luiscajigas5567 what I don't get is how he can claim Yeshua as being a follower of Moses when he rejects Torah! Of course he says Yeshua wrote a new law, but that was months after the event in question. Therefore you are on the right track here. I guess that Mr Solberg feels comfortable claiming Yeshua is God; therefore he can change Torah.
John 1:1 cannot be read as The Word is God, reading it in Hebrew, elohim can also mean angel, that is one of John's primary theses. Moreover John is citing the Prophets but I've yet to see anyone acknowledging this fact.
@@luiscajigas5567 I don't see teacher but elohim can also mean judge. On SNL Nehemia's discussion from a few years ago on John 17 appears to have been deleted. One needs to bookmark anything precious. I read angel because of the internal evidence in John 8, not to mention the Tanakh and DSS. As I have stated, John did not pluck that statement out of thin air. Moreover the blood from Golgotha tells us he was only half human.

Paul discarded his Jewish ways and taught his followers the same, however, Jesus taught his followers not to abandon the Laws and to obey the Pharisaic teachings.
