Send us a Text Message. In a previous episode (link below) we took a close look at Colossians 2:16–17, and saw how Paul teaches that the food laws, feasts (festivals), and Sabbath laws commanded under the old covenant, are not required under the New Covenant.

Send us a Text Message. Let's study one the most powerful texts disproving the theology of Torahism. Colossians 2:16–17 says, “Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Ch…

10d ago29:55

29:55

Send us a Text Message. The idea of “one law for both Israel and the foreigner” appears four times in the Torah. Does this mean Gentiles were under the entire law? We look at each passage to discover the answer. My hope is that this will help us respond more biblically the next time a Torah-keeper cites these verses to argue this issue. I can’t tel…

Send us a Text Message. 2 Corinthians Chapter 3 is a fascinating text that has a lot to tell us about the New Covenant, as well as the end of the Old Covenant and the ministry and law of Moses.

Send us a Text Message. There is a troubling trend called "deconstruction" infiltrating our churches and affecting friends, family, and spouses.

Send us a Text Message. This is a recording of an academic lecture given by Professor Solberg on July 19, 2023.
