119 Ministries only exists for one reason ~ a strong desire to seek and then teach the Truth of His Word to believers and the nations. Everything on this site is intended to serve and support that purpose and to equip others to do the same. We hope that this site is a blessing to you and your household. Please feel free to explore many of the free teachings on this site and join us as we all learn more of His truth together.
The Tabernacle, or Tent of Meeting, needs no introduction...or does it? It is of great importance and no one disagrees, but what makes it so special?. There may be much more to it than many realize, even down to what may seem mundane things like its measurements. Join us as we start a journey to examine the Tabernacle and its components.
Being comfortable, isn't bad if you're buying a couch, but should we be living a comfortable spiritual life wearing our spiritual sweatpants and t-shirts staying on our comfy couch?
What does it mean to have the fear of the Lord? If God is love, why should we be afraid?
What is the error of dispensationalism? What is dispensationalism anyway? Are the seven dispensations supported by Scripture in its culture and context? Does the Bible teach that the church really replaces Israel? Is Peter the rock the church is built upon? Join us as we look at these and other potential problems with one of the most common theological frameworks in mainstream Christianity.
The reason we don’t stone sabbath breakers is simple but can sound complex. Opponents of following the Torah often bring up what they believe to challenging questions to those who do. This video addresses the topic of why we don’t stone sabbath breakers. You might be surprised to find out that things aren’t always as cut and dry as some may think.
What did the Messiah mean by "weightier matters"? What do we do when obeying one law of God appears to force us to break another? How do we determine which laws matter more to YHWH?
Scripture tells us that the Torah is for gentiles too, it just uses different words. Regardless of the phrasing, the Bible is clear that God’s Law is for everyone who wants to serve Him.
What does it mean when the Bible calls something pagan? Is "pagan" inherently evil? What happens if we start using Scripture to define Scripture for things like pagan and heathen? Does always pagan mean what so many think it means?
Continuing on in our Bible Study series on 2 Peter, we continue looking at how to confirm your calling. In Chapter 2, we hear how God rescues the righteous and judges the wicked, time and again throughout Scripture. It’s time to check ourselves to see if we are living righteously to the best of our ability or following the way of the wicked that leads to destruction.
It’s commonly taught that the Bible says not to judge others, and it does say that. However, is that all that it has to say on that topic? Join us as we examine the subject of judging, from a biblical perspective.
Essential to understanding is learning the history behind things. Enjoy a brief historical look at how Christianity went from Sabbath to Sunday.
Are you tangled in the weeds of life? Are they choking out your faith and preventing a deeper, closer relationship with the Father? Is your spiritual growth being stunted?
Peter continues to confirm your calling in chapter 1 of 2 Peter. This time, in 2 Peter 1:16-21, we look at how he does so as it pertains to his witnessing Christ’s glory and the prophetic word. Unlike other myths, his witness, and the witness of the Scriptures, tells of Messiah’s return.
In our continued Bible study of 2 Peter, we continue to look at how to confirm your calling. One has only to read 2 Peter chapter 1 about how to be partakers of the divine nature of our Heavenly Father to be set on the right path. Let’s review what that looks like.
What are the head coverings Paul alludes to in 1 Corinthians 11? His words may make us ask the question, “what’s on your head?” or “what is a head covering? In this video we will look at three ways to interpret Paul’s words, examining some strengths and weaknesses of each.
Paul talks about the importance of head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11. There is a lot to take into consideration for this topic. Join us in part 1 of this teaching where we examine the verses and their surrounding themes of tradition, headship, dishonor, image and glory of God, and hair length.
James 2:10 is often used to prove that following the Law of God is not for today because if you break one commandment, you’ve broken them all. Is that true? Even if it is, does that mean that we shouldn’t bother trying to obey the Father’s instructions at all because we are bound to fail?
What is the Law of Christ that Paul talks about in Galatians and 1 Corinthians? Is it something new? Is it an expansion on something old? Is it limited only to what is in the New Testament? We look at these options and more as we work on defining what is the law of Christ.
In this portion of our Bible study on the exiled prophet, Daniel, we explore Daniel 6 where Darius the Mede has taken over Babylon. We find out how the Father preserves Daniel’s life, even from the mouths of lions, because he is faith
Continuing our Bible study, we look at Daniel 5, where the exiled prophet reads the writing on the wall. Once again Daniel does what others cannot, and it isn’t good news for King Belshazzar.
What do bread and wine mean in the Bible and what does Yeshua declaring bread and wine to be his body and blood mean for us? What about the fact that the Torah declares we should not drink blood? Is communion anti-Torah?
Some claim that the command to keep the Sabbath is not found in the New Testament. If that’s the case, then we don’t need to honor it at all. But is the claim true? If this is true, does that mean the Father doesn’t want us to rest on the seventh day anymore?
The Bible tells us that it is the Father’s will for us to give thanks in all circumstances, but how do we do that? How do we overcome the trials and tribulations of life and still have an attitude of gratitude so that we can give honor and thanks to the Creator?
The exiled prophet, Daniel, encountered many things during his lifetime in Babylon as the king’s advisor. In Daniel 4 he called upon to interpret the meaning of a felled tree. What can we learn in this bible study from the mysterious dream the king had?
The idea of Caesar’s Messiah, as taught by Joseph Atwill, claims that our Messiah is just a fictional character made up by the New Testament authors. Others claim ancient Rome invented him. We take a brief look at this notion of Caesar’s Messiah and show how easily it’s refuted.
Just like John questioned Yeshua while he was in prison, and Peter denied Yeshua while Yeshua was facing trial, we will all have times that we question our faith in God
Hebrews 8:13 is sometimes used to say the Mosaic Covenant in obsolete. There’s a lot to review to see if that’s true. Could the New Testament have rendered the Old Testament useless and no longer applicable after all?
The bigger picture that we, as believers, should have is not always in the front of our minds. Our lives, like everyone else’s, are often filled with troubles and difficulties. We cannot allow them to pull us away from the Father; after all, if we turn to him, he is faithful to be there for us.
In this video series we want to look at some of the most common things asked for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
- Should a believer practice Yoga?
- How should we apply the concept of having two witnesses?
- Is the Prosperity Gospel Scriptural?
- Is being homosexual or bisexual a sin?
- What is a Believer?
- What happens if my country doesn’t allow divorce and remarriage?
- Is someone who follows only Allah a believer?
- Is the Siddur important?
- Does Leviticus 18:22 address pedophilia and not homosexuality?
Continuing our bible study series, we look at how to confirm your calling as we move into another of Peter’s letters. In this introduction to 2 Peter, we look at just the first two verses, examine the authorship debate for the letter, and get a high-level view of what Peter seems to be telling us.
What does it mean to live according to the flesh? Does it mean following our physical desires? Does it mean something more than that? Is it wrong to experience physical pleasure in this life? Does living according to the spirit mean living a life without pleasure?
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
- Is eating eggs the same as eating an animal that dies of itself?
- Does a woman need to sit and sleep in certain places when menstruating?
- Should we say the prayer to light the candles at Hanukkah?
- Is kissing before marriage a sin?
- What prophecy says Messiah would come from Nazareth?
Throughout Scripture we see God destroying entire peoples, nations, and families when they have sinned against him or Israel. He has even had Israel destroyed or taken into captivity. With all of these punishments handed out by the Most High, it’s fair to ask, does God enjoy punishing people?
Continuing our bible study, we look at 1 Peter 5, the final chapter in this series of a life in exile. In this chapter we see a final exhortation to both the young and old, to all believers, in how to conduct ourselves. He says to clothe yourselves with humility. We also give a high-level review of what we have learned throughout this journey through 1 Peter.
Many claim that both the Bible and science cannot be true; that they cannot coexist. But is this true? Is science truly at odds with Scripture? Is the Bible anti-science?
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
- How are we to celebrate and observe the new moons (rosh chodesh)?
- Does God answer silent, or unspoken prayers?
- Is feet washing required on or just before Passover?
- How could 5,000 people hear Messiah talk without technology?
Ephesians 2 seems to say that the Law of God was abolished through our Messiah....or does it? What about the wall of hostility?
The story of the fig tree our Messiah cursed in Matthew 21 has much to show us. In the first part of this teaching we examined things like what a withered fig tree represents, what fruit is, and what it means to cast a mountain into the sea among other things. This time we will focus on the Messiah’s words when he tells us that if we ask, we will receive.
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 tells about the case of the slandered bride. Some atheists or feminists try to use it to prove the Bible is anti-women or misogynistic. However, further inspection of the Scriptures and historical context may tell us a different story.
When Messiah cursed the fig tree, it withered. Why? What is the message contained in this miracle? How does the fig tree relate to moving a mountain into the sea with our faith?
As we continue our Bible study on The Exiled Prophet, Daniel, we look at a story about taking a walk through fire. King Nebuchadnezzar requires false idol worship; if you didn’t then you died by fire. It’s a story to keep in mind when we too face trials in our lives as there are some lessons to be learned here.
Galatians is the Holy Grail of support supposedly teaching against obeying the Law of God. Let’s read it together, from start to finish, and see if popular opinion holds up. It is time to Test Everything.
Continuing our Life in Exile Bible study series on 1 Peter, we look at chapter 4 and learn how we need perseverance in suffering. Life isn’t always easy, but we must push through to the end. There are benefits to our suffering, and our rewards are in eternity as children of the Most High.
In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as:
- What is the Biblical definition of sex?
- If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married?
- Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible?
- If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10?
- If a woman was divorced for an illegitimate reason, and marries another, should she divorce her second husband?
and more!
In part 3 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we take a closer look at the topics of divorce and remarriage. What exactly is divorce, when is it permitted, and are people who have been divorced allowed to marry again?
In part 2 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we define both the physical and spiritual definitions of adultery and how it relates to God’s Marriage to Israel.
One flesh is how the Bible defines a man joining with a woman in marriage. But what does it mean to be married Biblically speaking? What defines a marriage in the Father’s eyes? How do we, as believers, avoid sexual immorality and what exactly does the terms sexual immorality or fornication encompass?
Paul's letters are easily misunderstood, especially when it comes to things like circumcision, being all things to all men, the ministry of death, and fading glory. Some say these all point to Paul being a false apostle or the law of God (Torah) being no longer relevant. Is that what Paul is teaching?
Continuing our Bible study series on the book of Daniel, the Exiled Prophet, we look at how God raises Daniel to prominence in one of the great kingdoms of this world.
The book of Ecclesiastes tells us a lot about life in this world, it is a book of wisdom. “All is vanity” is something found in this book. But when life gets hard or things aren’t making sense, what wisdom can we call on? What makes life meaningful under the sun when all is vanity?
Just because we are living a life in exile doesn’t mean we do not have a hope worth defending. Peter reminds us of this and more as we continue bible study in 1 Peter 3:8-22.
Continuing with our Bible Study series, The Exiled Prophet, we look at Daniel 1. In the opening chapter we already see Daniel’s wisdom during his early life in Babylon and how he is an example even to us today as we live in a world hostile to the Torah.
Continuing on with the Pauline Paradox series in this part five, we spend some time going through Paul's letter to the Romans, one of his most difficult letters to understand. We uncover the context of the letter and then read through some of the more misunderstood verses, but keeping them in the context in which they were written to find out if Paul supports the ongoing validity of the Torah, or if he is against it for Christians today.
In this next Bible Study series on the book of Daniel, we look at what is known about the writings of the exiled prophet. Included in this introduction to the book of Daniel is an examination of when it was written, by whom it was written, and who the audience was.
Paul says not to judge others on matters of days or food; is he teaching against the Torah here? Paul’s letters can be very confusing at the best of times. Sometimes he is addressing things concerning the Law of God, the Torah. Other times he appears to be addressing matters of opinion, such as in Romans 14.
Paul said that we are not "under the law"...but Paul makes mention of seven laws! Out of those seven laws, there is ONLY ONE we are no longer under. Which ONE law are we no longer under? Are we no longer under the law of God? A choice between context and doctrinal tradition is about to be placed before you...as we continue to "test everything" and ask "Which Law Paul?"
Living a Life in Exile doesn’t mean live poorly or away from the world. We still need to be behaving honorably among the gentiles. We continue our bible study through 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:11 – 3:7. We may not be of the world, but we do still live in and need to represent the Father well.
We are living a life of exile as Peter describes in his first letter. In 1 Peter 2:1-10 we learn more about what it means to be obedient children to our Father and what it looks like to have a desire for God in our lives.
There are some critics of following the Torah that believe when Messiah healed people on the Sabbath, that he was showing it was no longer important. That is, they are saying by healing on the Sabbath, he brought an end to it. While that is one way to look at it, we don’t believe it is the correct one.
Leviticus 19:19 prohibits the planting of mixed seeds together among other things. What does this strange commandment mean? How has it been interpreted in the past and how should we see it today? Is it even possible to truly know the meaning behind and practical application of this command?
As we continue our bible study about a life in exile in 1 Peter 1, we look at verses 13-25 to find out that we are to be holy. The Father has a way that he wants his people to live, and it’s not like the rest of the world. What does a holy life look like?
The common position of mainstream theology utilizes snippets from Paul's writings to prove that God changed His law. Others teach that Paul is a false apostle and teaches against the Law of God. However, Peter's warning tells us how twisting Paul's letters promotes a lawless doctrine. Here are 6 reasons Paul is difficult to understand.
This series is designed to look at the mo'edim (or appointed times) of YHWH in a brief and concise way. In this video, we look at Purim. What is Purim? Is it an appointed time? Should we celebrate it? If so, how? If not, why not?
Should we be subjecting ourselves to the governing authorities even if they go against the Torah? What did Paul mean by his statements in Romans 13:1-7?
Christians around the world are keeping the Sabbath the way the Bible says to keep it. Why? How is the Sabbath meaningful to followers of Jesus?
In part 5, the final part of our What is the Gospel? series, we look at understanding all of the gospel as it relates to repentance and then determine what the eternal gospel is. We examine what John the Baptist, Messiah, and Peter all taught about the gospel as well as the Great Commission. We also see what is meant by the eternal gospel mentioned in Revelation 14 and how the fear of God plays into it. Join us as we conclude our journey through the Scriptures to understand what is the gospel and gain a fuller understanding of all of the gospel.
Abortion is a hot topic; one argued passionately from both sides. Surprisingly, some believe that the Bible is ambiguous on this topic. In this teaching, we’ll take a quick look at the topic of abortion and the Bible.
In part 4 of What is the Gospel? we look at what Paul calls the mystery of the gospel. We will look at why Messiah had to die and how the prophets of Hosea, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah all work together to reveal the Father’s plan for Israel’s, and ultimately the world’s redemption.
In the parable of the dishonest manager found in Luke 16:1-13, we learn a few lessons such as needing to be shrewd. Some think Scripture is teaching us to be dishonest? Is that true? Beyond the obvious, what else is it that the Messiah is trying to teach us about how we spend our money, time, and other resources?
The parables of the wineskins and garments by our Messiah are often interpreted to be best understood as out with the old, and in with the new, even replacement theology. We have a different perspective.
Did the disciples of Messiah break the Sabbath when they plucked grains? Did Messiah indicate the Sabbath no longer mattered? Could he do whatever he wanted on the Sabbath because he was lord of the Sabbath as declared in the Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, and Luke 6:1-5 accounts?
So many times people are asked “are you saved?” But how many can answer the question “what is salvation?” What does it mean to be saved?
Some people believe that only the KJV is the true Word of the Creator. Some go so far as to make outrageous and even dangerous claims about those who do not use it. What are some of these claims? Are all of their claims about the KJV true? Join us in testing KJV Onlyism, should all believers only be using the King James Version?
King Herod the Great is mentioned very little in Scripture, yet his existence and actions had a profound impact on the life of Messiah. But who was he? What does history tell us about the man who was afraid of the coming “King of the Jews”?
In part 3 of What is the Gospel? we look at the gospel as revealed in the blessings and curses of obedience and disobedience to the Torah. We also see the gospel as it relates to the reunification of the whole nation of Israel, returning the House of Israel and merging it with the House of Judah with the new covenant.
Scripture can teach us some lessons from Paul’s visit to Athens and his speech at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) found in Acts 17. A few of these lessons include how we approach a topic with someone whose views differ from ours, to not back down, and how to engage with them.
A mainstream teaching is that you should live “your best life now,” but that is contradictory to the eternal perspective Scripture gives us. You should live the best you can now according to Scripture in order to live your best life later.
The Psalms teach us many things from how we should live to reminders of the Creator’s goodness and mercy. As we begin continue our bible study with studies in Psalms, we hear first of the way of the righteous in Psalm 1. Do you follow the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked?
In Matthew 24:20 the Messiah tells us to hope that fleeing on the Sabbath is not something to be desired. Why is this? What did he mean by this and what may be some greater implications of such a statement?
In part 2 of What is the Gospel? we look at the gospel according to Paul. What is it and what is the righteousness that is by faith? We then take a look at the gospel message of obedience. Join us as we examine these questions in further detail continuing our journey in understanding all of the gospel.
(Please Note: This is now Part 2 of 5, different from the original version of the What is the Gospel Teaching)
Scripture says to honor your elders in Leviticus 19:32 and shows us how to do so. How did the commandment apply in the ancient culture in which it was given? How does it apply today?
A shadow of things to come, familiar words to many believers when speaking about the feast days and sabbaths. Paul's teachings on these things in Colossians 2:16-17 are among the more popular verses used to prove the Torah doesn't apply today. But is this claim true? What is the context of Paul's letter here? Would the apostle Paul teach both for and against the Torah?
What is the Gospel? Can you be certain you are understanding the whole gospel and not just part of it? In part 1 of this teaching, we will review the more traditional teaching of the gospel, what it implies, and reveal where it is foretold in the Torah.
What is lashon hara? It’s the evil tongue; but beyond that, what does it mean? Is it as simple as gossip and slander or is there more to it? Is it a command or a tradition? What do the Scriptures say about the evil tongue?
As we go through the trials of a life in exile, it’s good to remember that we are born again to a living hope as we find out in a bible study on 1 Peter 1:3-12.
As we begin our Bible Study on Peter’s first letter, we look at the introduction to 1 Peter, its authorship, audience, and the apostle’s thoughts on how we can live a life in exile.
Everyone has experienced trying times and tribulations, but we don’t often understand why a loving God would allow such things to happen. In fact, some even claim that bad things in this world prove God isn’t real. In this presentation, we examine how the Bible can help in making sense of suffering and support the existence of our Creator.
When Messiah told us his second coming will be like the days of Noah, what did he mean? Is this a topic that requires a lot of speculation or is there also a simpler answer to this question? Could it even have multiple answers?
In part 3 of the 4th and 7th Day teaching as part of our Brit Hadasha series, we look at the second coming of the Messiah, that is Messiah ben David. We will also explore how both Messiah ben Joseph and David were prophesied to us in Scripture in ways you may not expect or ever considered to be messianic prophecies before.
This series is designed to look at the mo'edim of YHWH in a brief and concise way, although much more could be said on the topic. In this video, we look at Shavuot, also known as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. What is it about? What are some of the traditions surrounding it? What does it mean?
The Bible is often accused of being misogynistic; one of the main questions asked is “can women speak in church?” and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is cited where Paul says for women to be silent. Why would Paul say such a thing?
We know about physical circumcision, but do you know how to circumcise your heart? What does it even mean? How do we do it? Do we even do it?
When you find yourself answering atheists and they're arguing the question "does God exist?", have you considered the moral argument for his existence?
In Part 1 of The Lord’s Day teaching, we saw that the biblical support for changing the Sabbath observance to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) didn’t hold up. Now, in Part 2, we will examine the Lord's Day looking at the Sabbath and Sunday in history to see what led from the Biblical Sabbath Day observance to be changed over to the more modern The Lord’s Day observance on Sunday.
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:

- Do people get one more chance to repent after they die?
- What did it mean for Yeshua to wash the disciples’ feet and should we do it too?
- Were the disciples given the authority to forgive sins in John 20:23?
There has long been a debate about what is meant by the phrase, “The Lord’s Day” in Revelation. Some believe it refers to the sabbath while others believe it shows the sabbath day was changed to Sunday. Join us as we take a look at Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture, exploring some of the most common evidence used to support the Sunday position.
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
- Did the United States adopt the 7 Noahide laws as the law of the land?
- Is taking medicine (pharmaceuticals) the same as practicing sorcery since the Greek word is pharmakeia from Galatians 5:16-24?
- Does First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ) ministry teach sound doctrine or should we stay away from them?
- If touching something unclean is a sin (Leviticus 5:2-3), didn't Messiah sin when he touched lepers?
There are many stages in life beginning from the time we are babies all of the way until we reach adulthood. It’s the same for our walk with the Father once we are born again. For a time we are new, but eventually we need to begin learning to walk with the Creator.
In this episode of the 119 Podcast, we speak with Daniel Botkin, author and editor of Gates of Eden Magazine.

If asked “does the Bible permit drinking alcohol?”, here is one way you may want to respond.
In answering the question, “why then the law?” in Galatians 3:19-29, Paul is often misunderstood to say the law of God no longer applies. We need to correct that misunderstanding.
In episode 6 of the 119 Podcast, we visit with Bill Cloud, teacher at Shoreshim Ministries and pastor at Jacob’s Tent Fellowship.

- Should we not use indoor bathrooms according to Deuteronomy 23:13?
- Should Gentiles keep the feasts when the believers in Ephesus didn't go with Paul in Acts 18:21?
- Why should we read the Torah Portion schedule when it's just another manmade tradition and not from the Father?

1 Enoch, more popularly known as the Book of Enoch, is quite a popular extra-biblical book. But there is a questionable statement naming Enoch as a messianic figure known as the Son of Man in chapter 71. We look at the debate about the Son of Man in the book of Enoch and the implications it may have on how much authority we should give the book.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vezot Habracha, we read Deuteronomy 34:5-6 where Moses dies. We see the Father taking care of the dead body, showing us that we too need to care of those who have passed.
There are many theories and beliefs about baptism as portrayed in the New Testament. What’s the origin of baptism? Was it really a new commandment? We examine these questions and more as we study the Scriptures in order to figure out what is baptism.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ha’azinu, we read Deuteronomy 32:45-47. We find out that not only is the Torah good instruction for us, but it’s the word of life and should be taken to heart. In addition we see how Paul’s writings actually agree with Moses and himself!
There are many feminists and others that assert the Creator and His Word is no only misogynistic but promotes the reducing of women to little more than chattel, property. Let’s examine their supporting Scripture verses to test their claims in the proper cultural and biblical context.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayelech, we read Deuteronomy 31:8 where we find God’s presence is promised to his people. We take a brief look at what it means to have his presence in our lives and how we can get it.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Nitzavim, we read Deuteronomy 29:10-15 and find out not only what it takes to be the people of YHWH, but also who it includes. This definition comes directly from the Creator through the mouth of Moses; this is the Creator’s definition, not man’s.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ki Tavo, we read Deuteronomy 26:11 which includes the command to rejoice. Even if we don’t always feel like rejoicing, don’t feel thankful, or don’t feel grateful, we need to rejoice in our Father’s provision.
Several groups of people are said to be excluded from the “assembly of YHWH”, and this leaves us with some questions. How can a loving Creator exclude anyone? Who all is included in this “assembly”? How can they be excluded in one verse but permitted in another?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Ki Tetze, we see the parapet principle laid out in Deuteronomy 22:8, and how it applies today as negligence in our lives.
If you have every been told that you can not flip on a light switch, drive a car, or use an elevator on the Sabbath, then this teaching is for you. We examine where these errors originate, and what the Bible really says...
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shoftim, we see in Deuteronomy 18 where we are told don’t listen to false prophets.
Mark Jacob, Biblical Hebrew language instructor at 119 Ministries, joins us to share his testimony of coming to know Yeshua, his long history within the Torah movement, and the many benefits of learning Biblical Hebrew.
The opinions of our guests expressed on this podcast and elsewhere outside of this podcast may not always reflect the views of 119 Ministries.
The question, “Does God Exist?” has long been pondered from the layman to the greatest scientists and scholars throughout history. When all things are considered, the odds of the design of the universe and fine-tuning necessary in order for it to exist to have happened by chance is simply unbelievable…even to scientists.
In this week’s Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion called Re’eh. We find out, in Deuteronomy 14:2-3 a very important reason our diet is important to the Creator, namely why we should eat clean.
In this week's Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Ekev, we look at Deuteronomy 10:12-16. In this passage we see that Israel is supposed to have a circumcised heart, in other words, we need to have a changed heart.
In this podcast, Lex Meyer, teacher at Unlearn and pastor of Grafted Church, joins us to talk about his testimony of coming to know Yeshua, getting involved in ministry and the Torah movement, thoughts on the afterlife, some concerns he has regarding issues in the body of Messiah, and new projects he’s working on.

For generations scholars and laymen alike have sought to answer an important question, “what is the mark of the beast?” While we can’t say for certain until the time comes, here are some thoughts to consider in helping the saints recognize it when it arrives.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Va’etchanan, we read Deuteronomy 3:23-26 when God says no to Moses. The Father doesn’t always give us what we want, and we need to learn to accept it just as Moses did.
When Messiah died the veil in the temple was torn. But the questions remain as to which veil it was that was ripped, why does it matter which it was, and why does the torn veil even matter?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Devarim, we examine Deuteronomy 1:16-17 where it says to judge righteously and not to be intimidated. These principles extend passed courtroom and into other areas of our lives.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Massei, we see in Numbers 35:16-18 that God instituted the death penalty in some circumstances. Contrary to the Pope Francis’ declaration, the capital punishment is not against the Creator’s moral standard.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Mattot, we read Numbers 30:2 about keeping our promises. Essentially it’s the Creator’s way of saying don’t be a flake. Our word is to mean something as we are his people.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Pinchas, we see that Moses is going to die and a successor is needed. Numbers 27:15-19 shows how Moses’s first concern was for who would lead Israel, and God’s response shows us why discipleship matters.
In this live message, we seek to answer the question "Is God a misogynist?" as often asserted by feminists and atheists. We examine common Scriptures they use to say the Bible supports oppressing and degrading women.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Chukat, we read Numbers 20:25-29 where Aaron dies. He’s replaced by his son as high priest, but the loss of Aaron meant Israel needed to trust God and keep going no matter who was their high priest.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Balak, we read Numbers 22:28-29 where we find the Balaam learned that it’s important to listen when a donkey talks. We need to learn not to simply react to what we think we know.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. In this teaching we take a look at what happens for those who have rejected the faith and participate in the second resurrection, the resurrection of the unjust.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Korach, Moses tells us in Numbers 16:8-10 that Korah’s rebellion was really about him dealing with discontentment. It’s important we all learn how to deal with discontentment appropriately.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Shelach, we see how, in Numbers 15:15-16, the Torah was given to everyone. It is one law for all, both the stranger/sojourner and the native born Israelite.
What causes fights among you, among us, as a body of believers? We'll explore the answer to that and how Scripture teaches us to handle it in the book of James and in Numbers through the story of Korah's rebellion.
This teaching was recorded live.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Beha’alotcha, we read Numbers 9:22-23 which details how the Creator led his people after Egypt. Israel was following the cloud of YHWH, dependent upon him for direction. Are you following the cloud?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Nasso, we look at Numbers 5:1-4. It deals with putting people outside the camp; then we will see how it parallels what Messiah said in Matthew 18 as well as how we apply that today.
Yeshua told the woman at the well about living water and how true worship is done only in spirit and truth. What is this living water and how do we offer true worship to the Father?
This message was recorded live.
When YHWH gave Israel the Promised Land, it appears that He commanded Israel to wipe out entire peoples. Does God command genocide in the Bible, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Bamidbar, we see in Numbers 3:5-8 how it wasn’t just the priests who had value when it came to serving the people. In the same way it isn’t just a pastor or preacher who has value, but if you support the Father’s work in any way, your work is significant too.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Bechukotai, we learn there are blessings that comes from following the Torah, from walking in his ways. Leviticus 26:11-12 tells us what the greatest blessing of all is, we get to walk with God.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Behar, we look at Leviticus 25:44-46, a set of often controversial verses since they relate to slavery in the Bible. More specifically, we’re going to take a brief look at the idea of foreign slaves in Israel.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portioned called Emor, we see the command to count seven weeks in Leviticus 23:15-16. We take a brief look at what this is about and how it is still relevant to believers today.
Genesis 1:1 makes two statements that answer the question “does God exist?” and tells us that the universe was created. This indicates that God was there at the beginning of the universe. Not everyone agrees.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Kedoshim, we read Leviticus 19:16 and are reminded that our words matter. Harmful speech such as gossip and slander should not come from our mouths if we want to be a truly set apart people.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Acharei Mot we read through Leviticus 18:1-5 and that sets the stage for what follows, the Creator’s standards for our sexual intimacies. What isn’t quite so obvious, is why God cares about sexuality at all.
We have all experienced times of pain, suffering, illness, and more. When we are living in troubled times, Scripture gives us the light we need to find our way through.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Metzora, we examine the command found in Leviticus 14:2 in light of Messiah. How might we apply the same concept of bringing a leper to the priest in modern times? How might we cleans the lepers today?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shemini, we see what happened to Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10:1-3 when they offered unauthorized fire. There’s a lesson to be learned there for those who are dedicated to serving their Creator.
With all of the different calendar calculation methods out there it can be difficult to gather together in one accord. Unfortunately, such differences are actually causing division amongst the Body of Messiah instead of unity. Should we allow a difference in understanding to divide us and keep us from gathering with others? We don’t think so.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Tzav, we see how the priests are told in Leviticus 6:12-13, to be sure they don’t let the fire go out on the altar. While this was a literal instruction for them in the physical temple, how might we apply this lesson to our own lives, spiritually?
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
Why was Job's hair being shaved okay?
Are organ transplants permitted, biblically?
Why are trimmed beards okay but Christmas isn't?
Do you have transcripts available for your videos?
Can I study and go to class on the Sabbath?
Is it okay to have unclean animals as pets?
What about dyes like E120 Carmine made from unclean insects?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayikra, we do something a little different. There are many who find Leviticus boring and unnecessary in the modern world. So today, we want to look at why Leviticus matters, or should matter, to believers today.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Pekudei, we see how God’s dwelling place on Earth has changed throughout history. In Exodus 40:34 we see it’s beginning in the tabernacle when His glory filled the tent of meeting. Over time, God’s dwelling place continues to increase.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayakhel, Exodus 35:1-3 tells us how the people made a place for God’s presence on earth. Thousands of years removed from the tabernacle we must ask ourselves if we, too, are making room for God’s presence in our own lives.
Understanding the test for adultery found in Numbers 5:11-31 shows us how, once again, our Creator is wise, just, and has the best interest of His children at heart. Far from being evidence of misogyny or the mistreatment of women, this test for adultery protects women.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Ki Tisa, we get an extra insight from Exodus 31:12-13 about another aspect of the Sabbath and sanctification.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Tetzaveh, we’re reminded in Exodus 28:2 that beauty is important to the Creator. How often are we taking the time to enjoy the beauty found in the world around us that is still only a shadow of the transcendent beauty that we’ll see when all is renewed.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Terumah, we see how having a generous heart is really what the Father wants of us. When He commissioned His sanctuary in Exodus 25:2, He did not require everyone to donate, instead He only received contributions from those whose heart wanted to give.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. In this teaching we take a look at what happens for those who are in the faith and participate in the first resurrection, the resurrection of the just.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Mishpatim, we see the Law of Retaliation laid out for us in Exodus 21:23-25. Some opponents of the Torah indicate an eye for an eye is a barbaric and horrific law, but is the literal understanding the correct one?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Yitro, we see that Moses is given a bit of wisdom from someone else. We are reminded that even someone who is wise can learn from someone else.
There are some groups out there (atheists, radical feminists, and others) that believe the Bible is misogynistic, demeans women, and even endorses polygamy. We’ve addressed the idea of the Bible being misogynistic in other teachings, now we are going to examine the accusation that the Bible does endorse polygamy, that is, a man having more than one wife at a time.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Beshalach, we read of Israel’s salvation from slavery in Egypt. As we look at Exodus 14:30-31 we see how being saved through the Father’s great power taught Israel to believe in Him and the one He sent, Moses, so they did not perish. In fact, we will see the echoes of Exodus even into the New Testament.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Bo, we look at the commandment found in Exodus 12 for Israel to observe this feast every year. We briefly examine the idea of us slaughtering a lamb today and the circumcision requirement for those who observe the Father’s appointed times.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called, Va’era, we see how knowing God’s name is something even Israel’s forefathers didn’t know, according to Exodus 6:2-3. However, we see His name throughout Genesis, how is it that Abraham didn’t know the Father’s name? What is meant here?
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. But we’ve found that in order to answer that, we must investigate some of the more difficult verses and passages surrounding this topic. In teaching we’ll take an in-depth look at a number of other passages including 3 from Paul’s letters, the transfiguration, Saul’s conversation with the spirit of Samuel, and more.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Shemot, we see how amazing our Creator is as Exodus 2:23-25 shows Him doing four things. God heard Israel. God remembered His promise to Abraham. God saw His people suffering. God knew their troubles.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayechi, we examine the Joseph’s prophecy to his brothers when he said “God will surely visit you,” in Genesis 50:24. Just as Israel waited for their salvation from the Egyptians, we too await the return of our Savior to bring us back to the Promised Land.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. But we’ve found that in order to answer that, we must investigate some of the more difficult verses and passages surrounding this topic. In teaching we’ll take an in-depth look at 2 such passages, The thief on the cross in Luke 23 and the parables of Messiah including that of Lazarus and the Rich Man in Luke 16.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayigash, we look at the prophetic parallels between Joseph and Yeshua. As a type-and-shadow of the coming Messiah, Joseph’s story tells us the story of what the coming Messiah was going to go through as planned out by the Creator.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled, Miketz, we are reminded that no matter the hard times we may be going through, we need to keep our hope in God just as we’re shown that Joseph did in Genesis 41:50-52.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayeshev we look at Reuben’s regret regarding how he and his brothers treated Joseph. We see how, with YHWH’s help, we too can move forward and leave any shame we may feel behind as a new creation through our faith in the Word.
In this week’s Parashah Point in the Torah Portion called Vayishlach, we find the story of Jacob’s reconciliation with Esau in Genesis 33. This story has a lesson for us if we care to look
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayetze, we see how Laban and his sons turned against Jacob after YHWH blessed him in Genesis 31. How easy it is for us to turn to jealousy and resentment when others have what we want; yet we are to rejoice with those who rejoice.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Toldot, we see that while Jacob was a sinner He still received God’s blessing. We’re no different today, because of the Father’s grace, we are all Jacob.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Chayei, we see Isaac loved his wife Rebekah in Genesis 24:67. When we look at our own lives, are husbands loving their wives? What does this mean for their marriages and for their witness to the world?
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
Was Yeshua's return supposed to happen in the first century?
Is it unbiblical to celebrate Thanksgiving?
Can I eat seaweed?
Is it okay in self-defense?
Is it okay to kill in a war?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayera, we look at the story of Abraham when he was commanded to sacrifice his child, Isaac. We look at the question of morality of such a command, and one possible way that we should be understanding the story.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion Noach, we look at Genesis 9:3 to see if Noah could eat all animals, both the clean and unclean.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Lech Lecha, we review the call of Abraham found in Genesis 12:1-3. Just as Abraham was called out from his life to go into a new place, we too are called to leave our old lives behind to follow YHWH by walking as Messiah walked.
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
Are blood transfusions allowed?
Why did God kill so many people in the Old Testament?
Why are you called 119 Ministries?
Can you explain Deuteronomy 22:5 about women wearing pants?
What's your take on pig enzymes and gelatin?
How should I answer the question "Are you a Christian?"
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion B’reisheet, we cover Genesis 3:12-13 where we see the first instance of shifting blame. Instead of putting the blame on others, it’s time to realize that some of our problems are our own fault, at least in how we handle them.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vezot Habracha, we examine the concept of the prophet like Moses and see how Deuteronomy 34:9-10 show us that it was not Joshua. If it wasn’t Joshua, then who else could it have been?
In Leviticus 23:40 we are commanded to rejoice, and in verse 42 we are told this is during the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles or Booths). It seems like an odd command, but is there a deeper meaning behind it, something where the physical reality and command teaches us a spiritual truth?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled, Ha’azinu, we see Moses is told that he is about to die. What does knowing that we are going to die teach us about how we should live? In other words, what does death teach us about life?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Vayelech, we see in Deuteronomy 31:12-13 how the Torah is for all nations. Israel was charged by the Creator to make disciples of all nations.
In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions:
Are tattoos a sin?
Is cremation permitted by the Torah?
What’s the difference between the Law and the Covenant?
Do we have to wear tzitzit (tassels) every day?
Will you add a search box to your website?
What does it mean to “live holy” in my daily walk?
How could the Israelites keep the Passover while in the wilderness if the altar wasn’t in Jerusalem?
Would God ask someone to sin like He appears to have done with Abraham and Isaac?
In this week's Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Nitzavim, we look at Deuteronomy 29:18-20 and the consequences of unforgiveness or other roots of bitterness and poisonous fruit in our lives.
In this week’s Torah Portion titled, Mattot, we look at Numbers 31:15-18 which some believe shows the bible condone human trafficking. With a little context and biblical knowledge it’s easy to see that isn’t the case at all.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called, Ki Tavo, we read about the curses in Deuteronomy 28 that will befall Israel if they fail to be obedient. Most of us understand the value of blessings that come from obedience, but have you considered the value of curses?
In this week's Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion, Ki Tetze. We examine how Deuteronomy 24:16 applies to the practice of abortion after a rape. Is an abortion after a rape something that is morally justified according to Scripture?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Shoftim, we find how important humility is for a king of Israel according to Deuteronomy 17:18-20, just as it is for us today.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. But we’ve found that in order to answer that, we must first answer the question, “What is death?” In part 3 of this teaching series we conclude our study and definition of what it means to be dead, looking at what Scripture reveals plainly to us.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. But we’ve found that in order to answer that, we must first answer the question, “What is death?”
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled, Re’eh, we are given Deuteronomy 13:1-5 in which YHWH tells us how to identify a false prophet. Watching for signs and wonders aren’t enough, even a false prophet can perform them.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Ekev, we have Deuteronomy 8:7-14 where YHWH tells Israel of the prosperity to come, but then gives them a warning not to forget him. Why would he do that? Is there a potential problem with prosperity?
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Devarim, we review the traits and qualifications of what true leadership looks like according to Deuteronomy 1:13, 16-17. We also see how James echoes the same sentiments in James 3. Not all are called to be leaders or teachers, and those who are will be held to a higher standard.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Massei, we take a look at Numbers 35:28 and how impactful the death of the High Priest was on those who claimed sanctuary in the cities of refuge. Not only did his death impact them in their day, but it was also a type and shadow of the death of our Messiah.
There are many gods spoken of throughout history, but here’s why we believe the Bible is God’s Word and therefore truth.
In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Va’etchanan, we read the shema in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and take look at what it really means to love YHWH with all of our heart, soul, and might.
There are so many questions that get asked about Scripture, but one of the oldest and most common has to do with life after death. But we’ve found that in order to answer that, we must first answer the question, “What Are We?”
In this Parashah Point on the Torah Portion titled Pinchas, judging wisely is what Moses exemplifies when faced with a new situation in Numbers 27.
There exists a group of people who want to dismiss anything that a “scholar” has to stay on a subject, especially as it relates to Scripture. If that were true, then we should also dismiss anything Paul had to say; he was a scholar as well. Scholars have value in our study of the Word. Here are a few reasons.
In this week’s Parashah Point about the Torah Portion Balak, we examine the Phinehas mystery involving a son of Aaron killing two people. We see how it was not only okay with YHWH, but it actually turned aside His anger and saved the people of Israel.
In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Korach, we see the fruit of discontentment and jealousy. In Numbers 16:1 – 18:32, Korah led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron when he failed to see that we are all parts of the body, necessary right where we are.
In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion Shelach, we come across Numbers 15:38-39 which gives the command for us to wear tzitziyot. Not unlike the WWJD bracelets of the 1990’s, these tassels remind us about how we are to live, like Messiah did.
In this week’s Parashah Point, we look at the Torah Portion Chukat covering Numbers 19:1 – 22:1, especially Numbers 20:10 and Numbers 20:12. We see how water was brought forth from a rock but Moses took the credit that was due to YHWH, he was stealing the credit from God.
Leviticus 11 contains the Creator’s instructions for what we are supposed to consider clean for food as well as very specific things are deemed unclean. Much to the disappointment of many, pigs are on the unclean list. Modern day science, however, has shown time and again the wisdom in commanding us not to eat swine. Let's take a brief look at some pig science.
In this week’s Parashah Point from the Torah Portion, Nasso, we look examine the priestly blessing as found in Number 6:24-26. Not only is it a blessing from YHWH given to His people through His priests, but it provides us hope for our future. The priestly blessing is really a blessing of hope.
In this week's Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Beha'alotcha, we look at Numbers 9:1-4 where YHWH reminds His people to observe and remember the Passover. There is a reason He wants us to remember it, and plenty of reasons why we should want to.
Many believe and teach that because Messiah made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, that the animal sacrifice no longer applies nor has a place. Some go so far as to say animal sacrifices are actually an affront to Messiah’s work of redemption. Scripture, however, appears to say otherwise.
The Book of Enoch is one of the most popular among the extra-biblical texts in existence. Doctrines are made out of what it contains, the Enoch calendar comes from it too. When compared to Scripture and history, however, how does it stand up? It’s time a testing of the Book of Enoch is done.
In this week's Parashah Point we look at the Torah Portion, Bamidbar. Numbers 1:1 tells us how YHWH spoke to Moses in the wilderness. We will take a look at how we are also on our own wilderness journey and what that might mean.
In this week’s Parashah Point, we review the Torah Portion Bechukotai. In Leviticus 26:40-42, 45 we see how even after great sin, if Israel turns back to YHWH and His ways, God is faithful to forgive them. In His everlasting mercy and grace, we can count on His faithfulness to us, even when we’ve been unfaithful to Him. We also look at Hebrews 6:4-6 briefly
There is a growing group today that believes and teaches that the only “true Israelites” are the Black Hebrew Israelites. This group also teaches that those who live in Israel today are “fake Jews” among other things. Join us as we take a brief look at their doctrine and expose some of the lies and holes it contains.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion, Behar, we see that on Jubilee years or even every 7th year for the shemitah, the land resting and releasing financial debts applies physically to being in Israel. However, there is a deeper spiritual principle that we can all apply to our lives daily regarding forgiveness.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Emor, we look at Leviticus 23 where we find the Creator’s appointed times, or as some call them, “Jewish” holidays.
Some claim that the bible is full of misogynistic verses and teachings. Some even claim that the Bible can’t be true because God would never teach misogyny. Join us as we begin our journey through some of these claims in Scripture in our first video in a series on this and other related topics.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Kedoshim, we look at the importance of Leviticus 19:18, or what James called “the royal law”.
This week’s Parashah Point is about the Torah Portion Acharei Mot, more specifically Leviticus 18:22 where homosexuality is mentioned. What does Scripture say about homosexuality and is movement in mainstream Christianity right to accept it today?
While many understand reasons not to celebrate mainstream holidays like Christmas and Easter, the celebration of other non-biblical holidays may not be clear, including birthdays. Is it wrong to celebrate birthdays?
What is the main reason why most Jews do not accept Yeshua as the Messiah? Should the fact that most Jews reject Yeshua cause us to second guess our faith in Him? In this short message, we explore these questions and more.
This week’s Parashah Point about the Torah Portion, Tazria, covers a woman’s impurity after childbirth. We look briefly at Leviticus 12:2-5 and show how it does not indicate any type of inferiority of women compared to men, but also as to a very likely reason there is a difference in the time of impurity.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion titled Shemini, we look at the command from the Creator to be holy because He is holy. We see how one way that we are set apart, or holy, involves our diet. We also see that Peter reminds us to be holy in all of our conduct, which would include what we consume.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion named, Tzav, we look at the importance of restitution as required by the Torah in Leviticus 6:4-7. We are required by the Torah to make restitution when we wrong someone. If we claim to follow the Word, then this is a topic we cannot afford.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Vayikra, we look at what it takes to be able to draw near to God. Leviticus 1:1-4 gives us a picture of what needs to be done to be accepted by the Father, and then we also see how we can do this today when the sacrificial system is no longer in place.

In this week’s Parashah Point about the portion titled, Pekudei, we see that close records were kept in relation to the Tabernacle according to Exodus 38:21 and relate that to our own lives. Should our spiritual lives be audited any less rigorously than what went into the Father’s Tabernacle?

In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named, Mishpatim, we look at the commandment in Exodus 23:4-5 about helping our neighbor, even if that neighbor is an enemy or someone we hate.

This covenant is not unlike a marriage covenant and ceremony where promises or vows are made by both sides. Take a look at our how obedience to His Word helps fulfill our part of the marriage.

At one time or another almost all of us experience trials and troubles; sometimes it feels like life just crumbles around us.

Pastor Mike Winger released a video on YouTube in which he featured a teaching from 119 Ministries. He took the time to walk through several points of concern and/or disagreement with us in as loving a way as he could. Likewise, we are taking this opportunity to hopefully address and dispel the concerns that he has regarding 119 Ministries and God’s Laws.
It’s no big secret that the two genealogies for the Messiah found in Matthew and Luke are different, very different. By examining the genealogy of Yeshua more closely and comparing it with other Scriptural and cultural precedent, we find that what counter-missionaries and others may claim is a problem, is really nothing to be concerned about at all.
In the beginning we were created in the image of God. What does that mean and how do we get back to being in that image instead of the image of Adam?
Counter missionaries sometimes claim that prophecies quoted in the New Testament are actually taking Old Testament prophecies out of their context. Join us as we take a look at these claims and a few of the prophecies such claims are made about.
Many believe and teach that in Messiah’s Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, he was creating new laws and removing old ones. However, after a closer look at the text, we are hard-pressed to see anything actually new in it. What we find is Messiah teaching principles already found in the Torah.
Almost everyone loves junk food but they also know to avoid it in order to be physically healthy. How many of us are avoiding THEOLOGICAL junk food though, in order to make sure we maintain a healthy spiritual life?
Not surprising, counter-missionaries attack the idea that Yeshua was the Messiah with claims that he was actually a false prophet. Join us as we review their top three proofs of this assertion to see how well they hold up to Scripture.
The 7 Laws of Noah are said to apply just to Gentiles, while the rest of the Torah applies only to Israel, or those of the Jewish faith. Let’s go to the Scriptures to find where the truth truly lies as we explore the idea of the 7 Noahide laws according to the Word.
Many arguments exist about Messiah in Scripture. One such argument says that Messiah cannot be the Son of God because Israel was called the Firstborn Son of God. How can we reconcile Yeshua, angels, Israel, and even us all being “sons” of God if Messiah is the only Son?
The Bible mentions a “Book of Jasher” on two occasions. In modern times there are two known “Book of Jasher”, but are either of them the one mentioned in Scripture and trustworthy to be used as theological support as many do?
In Matthew 11, Messiah said that we should take His yoke for it is light, and that He will give us rest for our souls. Just what would these phrases have meant for His audience and what do they mean for us today?
Anti-missionaries will use the idea of a second coming of Yeshua as proof that he wasn’t the Messiah. They state that because he didn’t fulfill all of the prophecies when he was here, then he cannot be the Messiah. Are their assertions true?
There are a group of people who argue that blood is not required in order for us to receive atonement, that we only need to repent. We, however, cannot find where Scripture actually supports such a theory.
There’s a growing theory among some Messianics and a group in Hebrew Roots that the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law are 2 different things; that part of the Torah no longer applies today. It’s time to test the pillars of this theory to see if they stand up to Scripture.
Daniel 9 contains a prophecy about the coming Messiah, Counter/Anti-Missionaries, Christians, and those of the Jewish faith agree on some aspects, but not on all. Is Yeshua the Messiah or are the Counter/Anti-Missionaries correct?
Many of us look up to King David as he was called “a man after God’s own heart”. But what does that mean and how, too, can we work to live our lives in the same way?
When it comes to the name of the Messiah, there are many discussions that are had, one of them being whether or not we should call him by the name, Jesus. Some say yes, others say no. We invite you to review the evidence and decide for yourself.
There are some that argue the use of the word “God” when referring to YHWH. For what it’s worth, here are our thoughts on that particular topic and why it’s actually okay to say God.
With so much discussion, arguments, and division amongst the body over the pronunciation of the name of our Creator, one version seems to be the most prominent, Yehovah (Jehovah). Has the Creator’s name been definitively determined at long last or are we once again falling victim to what the majority dictates and determines? Join us as we test out this pronunciation in this teaching from the Hashem series and discover if the sacred name of our Creator has been determined at long last.
Some claim the TANAKH (Old Testament) never gives instruction (Torah) to believe in the Messiah. We believe it does.
Many disagree or even argue about using the word "Lord" in the Scriptures. Some even claim that by using it, we are blaspheming or using the name of YHWH in vain. Here are some thoughts to consider.
Israel has been waiting for their Savior, their Messiah, for a long time. There have been multiple individuals called "Messiah" in the past; some believe Yeshua (Jesus), was that Messiah. Anti-missionaries will tell you that He was not. Here are 3 reasons we believe why Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel.
There are claims that Yeshua wasn’t a real person, or that the New Testament is simply made up. Flavius Josephus may disagree.
Many understand Exodus 23:13 to mean we cannot even say the names of other gods such as Baal, Mars, Janus, etc. Some go so far as to say we shouldn’t say things like Monday or January for the same reason. What’s the truth behind such beliefs and are they Scriptural?
What do the 144,000 of Revelation and the dimensions of the Tabernacle, including the Holy of Holies, have in common? Maybe more than you think.
Wearing tzitzits, or tassels is an easy command to follow from the Torah yet there is some degree of confusion on the topic. Let’s address some of the most common questions on the practice of wearing tzitzits.
You may have heard that fearing the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, or that we need to have a healthy fear of YHWH. But what does that mean? Are we simply to be afraid of our Creator or is there more to it?
According to the dietary instructions found in Leviticus 11, honey may be considered unclean since bees are not clean. A subject of great debate, it's times to dive in and see what we can find out about honey in Scripture. Is it really what we think it is? Is honey unclean?
Many times we hear something like “We are now under grace”, as if it’s some new thing that happened with the coming of the Messiah. But was YHWH’s grace really something new, previously unheard of in the Old Testament? Join us in a quick glance through just the Torah to see how new grace was when Messiah arrived.
Justification is a word commonly thrown around and sometimes understood as being synonymous with salvation. Are they truly the same or are they closely related? It's time to test out what it means to be justified unto salvation.
Many claim to be or want to be like the Bereans mentioned in Acts 17. But what does that mean, exactly?
Isaiah 43:11 says that YHWH is the only Savior. Anti-missionaries use this to attack Yeshua. Find out why and how to answer their criticism.
Sometimes in our desire to win people for YHWH, or to honor Him, we may do something he strictly forbids. Is the Creator okay with us doing something to honor Him even if it contradicts His Word? Since YHWH knows our hearts and intentions, does that make everything okay?
When one studies Scripture they may find all sorts of interesting linguistic anomalies. One such anomaly is the “waw”, or “vav”, in the word for Hebrew word for “generation”. Join us as we look closer at this mystery and discover what may be a prophetic implication found in the Hebrew language.
Many believe and teach that following the Torah, the Law of God is a form of bondage. That we are to be free from such things now that Messiah has come. Some even go so far as to say we do not have free will if we have to follow the Torah. Is it possible to have free will and still be obedient to the Law of God?
Some like to say "out with the old and in with the new", but is that what our Messiah teaches?
If you examine the Scriptures closely, you will see that something in Genesis 1 appears to contradict Genesis 2 in regard to the order of creation. Is there a mistake in what we commonly know as the order of creation during the first six days?
Covenants have deep roots, deep Hebrew Roots. Join us as we look at the Hebrew Root of the word "covenant".
"Be fruitful and multiply". Teachings exist indicating that this is a command to us; that if we don't multiply then we are somehow sinning. But how does the idea of this being a command hold up when applied to everyone? Is it a sin to not have children or to remain single?
Isaiah 9:6-7 is among the most famous passages in Scripture, but there’s some contention about who it’s really about. Is it about the coming Messiah or Hezekiah? Some anti-missionaries say it’s about Hezekiah but mainstream Christianity, among others, say it’s about Yeshua. Who’s right? And how does the Mem Mystery fit in to this debate?
When it comes to critics, there is no shortage of those who criticize the legitimacy of Yeshua being the prophesied Messiah in the TANAKH. One such criticism is that of the prophecy of a virgin birth. Join us as we test out anti-missionary claims about why Yeshua could not be the Messiah foretold.
There is no little dispute about when the Sabbath Day occurs. One of the largest questions is whether or not Saturday is really the correct 7th day and the day that Messiah kept when he was alive. Join us as we look to see if the day of Saturn (Saturday) is on the Sabbath or if the Sabbath Day was moved to be on Saturn’s Day.
Many have used the phrase "it's Greek to me" to mean that they don't understand it. What if we take that phrase and look at the Greek mindset versus the Hebrew mindset? How well can we understand the Hebrew mindset of the Scriptures if we think like a Greek? What is the difference between the Hebrew thinking and Greek thinking anyway?
The concept of slavery evokes powerful image of people being abused, beaten, living inhumanely, and even worse. Yet we see in Scripture where slavery seems to be permitted by our loving Creator. How can this be? Join us as we look into what it meant to be a slave, biblically.
"A day is as a thousand years” unlocks the Creation Prophecy, proving Isaiah correct in his saying that the “end is revealed from the beginning.” All of YHWH’s plan is revealed in the first thirty-three verses of the Bible. As a bonus, we also reveal the Exodus Prophecy.
It’s commonly taught that the Bible says not to judge others, and it does say that. However, is that all that it has to say on that topic? Join us as we examine the subject of judging, from a biblical perspective.
We’ve previously covered what a “name” means and some possibilities as to the great debate about the 3rd letter in the tetragrammaton. Now join us as we take a deeper look and examine some potentially viable pronunciations of the Creator’s name.
Some people will claim that they know exactly how to pronounce the Creator’s name. We would disagree with any concrete statements like that. One of the largest debates is whether it should be a V or a W in the name. Join us as we test out this important debate relating to the Tetragrammaton.
In Leviticus 20:17 does YHWH state a marriage between a brother and a sister was a disgrace, or a grace?
Throughout religious history make-up and jewelry have been taboo to many. There are many reasons given for this ranging from it being something only pagans do to something strictly forbidden by YHWH. We want to test these ideas to Scripture and see what we come up with.
How many have lost sight of the true message Messiah was communicating in the Great Commission? The common understanding is that we are to go out and spread the gospel, but is that all?
Who is a Hebrew, what does being a Hebrew mean and how does the word "Hebrew" apply to us?

How do you respond when accusations of animal abuse are made against the temple sacrifice system? Here's what we'd say.
Atheists love to point out that the Torah instructs a rapist to marry his victim. From our cultural perspective this appears absurd and portrays YHWH negatively. However, there is much more to consider here…
What do we do with the Anti-Missionary claim that the Messiah does not suffer like Israel suffers and that Isaiah 53 is not about the Messiah? Simple, we test it.
Anti-missionaries assert that one man cannot atone for the sins of another. They like to cite Deuteronomy 24:16 to support their case. What happens to their argument when we examine more Scripture and the context rather than just one verse?
Anti-missionaries use 1 Timothy 1 and Titus 3 to indicate that Paul is anxious about avoiding the topic of genealogies. If it's true, why is it? If it's not, then why does Paul tell us to avoid the topic? Find out in the latest installment of the Brit Hadasha Series.
The Anti-Missionaries would have us believe that Psalm 110 is not Messianic, but instead that it’s about King David. In this installment of the Brit Hadasha series we will test that theory and see what we come up with.
Scripture tells us in a few places that specific days are a holy convocation. Often this word is translated as an assembly; but is that the best way to define it? Is that the Hebrew Root of a holy convocation?
Many of us have been taught that worship often involves slow songs of adoration, the lifting of our hands, and other such practices. But is that what was really happening in Scripture when “worship” was being performed?
Is faith simply a belief or mental assent to something? What does our faith have to do with the inner workings of Salvation? What does one have to do with the other?
The Restoration of the Two Houses of Israel is hidden in so many places in scripture. Let’s examine 2 Kings 5…
When Messiah uttered the words “on this rock I will build my church” many teach that he was referring to Peter. While we know he was talking to Peter that doesn’t mean he was talking about Peter. Let’s test the Scriptures and see what we find.
Why would the Creator have us destroy our pots and ovens? How does Leviticus 11:29-38 apply to us today?

When does Shabbat start, in the evening, or in the morning? In this series we tackle the complicated debate of a Hebraic 24-hour period.
This teaching is a follow up to “Testing the Star of David” intended to address some frequently asked questions. We have known for years that once we released a teaching on this subject, it was going to be quite controversial. Much to our surprise, it had one of our highest agreement rates out of the 200+ teachings we have released to date. Despite that, out of the nearly 30,000 that have watched the teaching a week after its release, there also exists a small but passionate minority defending the image of the Star of David. We also understand that an online petition, consisting of 68 people at the time of this video, was signed, passionately demanding we remove the “Testing the Star of David” teaching. While 68 out of 30,000 may not sound like enough to warrant a follow up FAQ, collectively, they do in fact ask some good questions and make some interesting points. We respect that, and admire their passion for what they believe to be right. We hope that this FAQ on the subject of the Star of David will respectfully offer some clarity to those who have expressed concern or still have questions. If you have not watched “Testing the Star of David” we would recommend watching that teaching before continuing with the FAQ.

Many desire fellowship with others, in fact, we are commanded to assemble ourselves. Yet there isn’t always an established group where we live. Join us as we review some recommendations of do’s and don’ts when it comes to setting up a home fellowship.
What was the timeline of our Messiah’s death and resurrection? How do we reconcile the verses that suggest the Last Supper was a Passover meal, and those that suggest it was not?
Did Hosea have a Christmas tree? No, but some use Hosea to justify calling their Christmas tree an image of YHWH. Find out how that relates to the golden calf.
Many like to teach that when Paul says that “all things are lawful” he is saying that the restrictions found in the Law of God no longer apply. If this is true, then we can murder, commit adultery, and worship other gods without any issues. Does that really make sense and sound like something God would tell us? Join us as we examine 1 Corinthians 6:12 and 10:23 to see what’s really being said.
Ephesians 2 seems to say that the Law of God was abolished through our Messiah....or does it?

Two small words, “until John” have the potential to point to a much stronger picture of John the Baptist’s ministry than many have previously thought. Is that what we find when we test them out?

Yeshua prayed for the Father to forgive those who put Him on the cross. Yet, in some circles today the question has come up if he could have actually been saying just the opposite. Some believe the Greek actually suggests such an interpretation. But does it really match what Yeshua’s life proclaimed? Watch the teaching today and test Yeshua’s words for yourself.
Yeshua said that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father. Knowing that YHWH is our heavenly Father, can people see Him in us? Are we showing people who our Heavenly Father is in our everyday life? Who are people seeing when they look at you?
What does Yeshua declaring Himself to metaphorically be the bread as His body and wine as His blood at the Last Supper mean for us? What about the fact that the Torah declares we should not drink blood? How can Yeshua use this as a metaphor when it seemingly contradicts Scripture?
New Covenant with better promises, or a new law? Some might be surprised to learn that prophets stated that the new covenant would consists of the same law…
The purpose and meaning of the 144,000 in the Book of Revelation is a strong curiosity to many. Is it a literal 144,000 or more of a symbolic nature? What might be more interesting, is the hidden message in the listing of the 12 tribes of Israel.
It’s often said that all sins are equal to the Father. What happens, though, when we test out that statement?
Should we celebrate Hanukkah? What are we to remember on this day? Why do some suggest that we should not observe Hanukkah?
Was Paul a people pleaser, trying to be all things to all people, and that is his reason for following and teaching and practicing Torah? That is what some teach to try to explain away the instances in which Paul clearly taught and followed the Law of God. Is that different than the Law of Christ? Is the law of God a ministry of death? Let’s test these things to Scripture.
Some argue that Hebrews 7:11-12 where it indicates there has been a change in the law means that the Torah has been done away with, nullified, and no longer applies. A careful examination, however, shows that it means no such things and only supports the difference between a heavenly priesthood and the Levitical earthly one.
Many teach that in Mark 7:19 Yeshua declared all food as clean. We agree that all food is clean. The real question to be answered is what Messiah was really saying. What is the true context of this verse? Did Yeshua really declare all things clean?
Why does the topic of our Creator’s name cause so much division in the Body? What the Hebrew word for “name” really mean? What does it mean to profane His name?
When we think about being comfortable, we may think about sweatpants, jeans, and t-shirts. Those are all good things, but should we be living in our spiritual sweatpants and t-shirts? What happened to Israel when they became “comfortable”?
When it comes to matters of the Torah, there are some things that are deemed more important by our Creator than others. How do we determine what is of greater or lesser weight? Join us as we test out the concept of weightier matters.
A segment from NBC's "The West Wing" has recently been receiving attention in the media because of it's relevance to the US Supreme court ruling on gay marriage. In this segment, the writers for the show employ several straw-man arguments to attack God's law in an attempt to portray His commandments as ridiculous and outdated. In this installment of the Answering Atheists series we will refute these erroneous claims and show how God's laws are a blessing to those who keep them.
It is common to hear that we are already in the rest of our Messiah. This doctrine exists to support a theory that we are to no longer literally rest every Sabbath. Do you know where that doctrinal support is found? Have you ever tested that doctrine? You might be surprised to learn when we actually enter that rest.
The law was given to those at Sinai. Did you know that Gentiles were also there? Did you know that YHWH stated that the same law is for all in the faith, whether a Gentile or native-born?
Does Galatians prove Paul is against the law of God? Find out in the latest installment of the Pauline Paradox series.
What do we do on Yom Teruah? What is the prophetic meaning of this day? Why is it often called Rosh Hashanah?
What do we do on the mo'edim Yom Kippur? What is the prophetic meaning of this day, and what is the purpose of the sacrifices?
Persecution is something you rarely hear taught on these days. But should it be? How would it be received by believers today? If you faced persecution for your faith like that which the believers did in the Scriptures, would you remain faithful? Join us as we dig into a topic that is scarcely heard from pulpits today and see just what we should be expecting in this life as believers.
Within the parameters of proper biblical hermeneutics, there are four levels of understanding one can implement to glean from the Torah. Yeshua and his disciples demonstrated all four levels of exegesis interpretation throughout the Brit Hadasha. Join us as we examine these four levels in more detail.
There are many verses in Romans used to suggest God’s law has changed or been abolished. Is this true, or have we misunderstood Paul?
What is transliteration and is it okay to transliterate Biblical names like Jesus and Paul?
When one is presented with the fact that the whole Word of God is still true and applicable to us today, it is usually not more than 30 seconds later that the topic of sacrifices enters into the conversation. This teaching very briefly hits some key points and thoughts on this subject,
Have you ever asked yourself why you believe what you believe? Most all of us would say: I believe what I believe because that's what the Bible says. But have you truly put that to the test? Or do you just trust your leaders. Who's example are you following? You might be surprised.
We all know that pine trees are cut down each and every year for Christmas. Many of us also know that when Yeshua returns, Christmas will cease to be. Interestingly enough, scripture actually declares how the pine trees will feel at our Lord's return. Do you wish to know...we find out in another -119 Thoughts.
Test Everything. How many times have you heard us say that? ...but, how do we “Test Everything”?
We’re all building something. Here is a quick thought on whose kingdom you may be building.
Believe it or not, in some circles, cheeseburgers are debated. This debate comes more from the mainstream Rabbinic interpretation of Deuteronomy 14:21. Indeed, this commandment is quite confusing, but we may be able to glean a deeper spiritual message from a closer examination of this verse.
Have you ever been presenting the truth of the Word to someone, and suddenly they change the topic to how we should keep the unity of the body? This begs the question:
Are we to compromise truth for the sake of unity or is truth to be the source of our unity?
What is the Biblical definition and calling of unity?
This video addresses that very issue which is rising in the church today.
Believe it or not, some teach that one cannot please God, that there is nothing that we can do that is pleasing to Him. We can either please God, or we are unable to please God. Once again, we want to test everything to the Word.
Addressing Paul’s road to Damascus experience is a must when it comes to studying Paul. Why? There are potentially three accounts of the road to Damascus with a couple of differences between them. How could that happen?
In Philippians 3, why does it appear that Paul is stating that the Law of God is no longer for us because of faith in Christ? Paul says: “not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith”
This Series is designed to look at the Moedim of YHWH in a brief and concise way. Though these topics could be expounded and explained in long teachings, it is our goal to make these as short as possible while attempting to give certain amounts of detail at the same time. Though we hope to make a series that explains these days in greater detail in the future, we believe you will find this series informational just the same. This first teaching looks at Passover and Unleavened Bread.
Some say that the Word of God has changed. The Bible says it is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
You may have heard that tzitzits are only for men. We can take what we hear and believe it, or we can test it. In the spirit of testing everything, we put that doctrine to the test of the Word.
Prayer. A topic that could be ministered on for hours and still never scratch the surface of the subject. It's a topic that every believer knows we need and yet a topic that every believer struggles with applying it in their life on a regular basis at point or another. Join us in this fourth message that was recorded from Sukkot in Tobermory Canada where we examine our lives in how we can learn to grow in prayer that will enable us to draw closer to the Father.

Are you ready for the end times? What does it really mean to be "ready" for them? Have you truly considered this question? How should this question effect our lives? Should it effect our lives at all? Join us in this last message that was recorded from Sukkot in Tobermory Canada where we examine these questions to draw closer to the Father.
Paul said that the Antichrist will set himself up in God's temple. This is why many are looking for another temple to be made. However, what if the temple Paul was talking about isn't made of stone but rather the tent of meeting. Join in this short teaching as examine the possibilities.
Pride is a powerful force. Pride is a dangerous force. Pride is a lethal force. It can creep into ones life ever so gently and disguise itself in so many ways. If left undetected and truthfully acknowledged, it will steal the life and blessings right out from under you. Join us in this third message that was recorded from Sukkot in Tobermory Canada where we examine our lives in searching for hidden pride in our lives that prevent us from growing closer to the Father.
This is a teaching series is designed for children and even taught by children. What better way for the younger ones in our homes to learn the Word of Yahweh than from one another. We pray that you find these teachings helpful for your children in their walk with our heavenly father.
The 5th commandment. What does it mean? How do we obey it? Here's one way of looking at it.
What does it mean to be a man of God? Have you ever really thought that through? Then the next question is, do you allow others to influence you away from being that man?
An “eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” is a misunderstood Hebraic idiom. Did our Messiah change this commandment, or simply clarify it?
Do you have what it takes to hear the voice of the shepherd? Here's a brief thought to consider.
John 1 says "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." So what does this mean? What does the surrounding context imply? How is this to be interpreted with the rest of scripture? Join us as we dig into an often mis-represented verse.
Going through hard times is never fun. However, they are most often needed far more than what we want to admit. They form and shape us and are always allowed into our lives by the Father for one reason or another. Join us in this second message that was recorded from Sukkot in Tobermory, Canada where we examine how the Father shapes us for our better and His glory in this life in order to grow closer to Him.
How easy it is for us to live in this world and blend right in. Not even realizing we are blending in to all that surrounds us. All the while forgetting that we are to be aliens and strangers in this world. Called to be ones who stand out. Join us in this first message that was recorded from Sukkot in Tobermory, Canada where we examine our hearts to be Aliens and Strangers in this world in order to grow closer to the Father.
John chapter 1 verse 17 seems to suggest that grace and truth did not exist before our Messiah, and also were against what Moses wrote as the law of God. This confusion exists because of the little word…but.
In the Torah, we learn that a Hebrew slave is a servant for six years. What does that mean prophetically? What does it mean to be a servant to YHWH? Find out, in Bound to Righteousness.
We should never give up in following what the Father tells us to do in our everyday life. Even when you may think that it’s of no use. Even when it seems that everything you’ve done up to that point has gained you nothing. Even when you may feel you’ve hit a dead end. ... Don’t give up on what the Father is doing in your life. Stick to it. You may be closer to a victory than what you think.
Are you always on the run? Finding it hard to make the time to study like you really want? Does it result in you just taking what someone feeds you and then just move right along with your busy schedule? Never really examining what is given to you. We must remember that even the Bereans tested Paul continually on what he said to them. May it never be said of you that you are a "Fast food believer".
“Paul is easy to understand!” “These verses about the law of God are clear and require NO explanation!” We have all heard that. Why can’t we simply accept some of the select snippets of Paul literally in the way many choose to interpret them? Why is it necessary to offer explanation?
For all who have served their country in military service, there is a sense of honor, respect and accomplishment in doing so. It’s as if they have answered their “call of duty” for their country. But what about our “call of duty” to our heavenly Father? Is there one? Is it possible for us to even be considered His soldiers? Join us as we consider our call of duty to the Father.
¿A poco es verdad que Cristo nos dio un nuevo mandamiento para obedecer? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones si eso fuera el caso? Acompáñenos en esta breve enseñanza para darle algo en que pensar.
La pregunta suena absurda ¿no? ¿Qué no se supone que todos amamos a Dios? Pero bíblicamente ¿qué significa eso realmente? ¿Vamos a definir la forma en que Dios debe ser amado o es Dios quien define como él quiere ser amado? ¿El amor a Dios importa en absoluto, o es todo acerca de Dios amándonos? Estás son preguntas importantes, pero por desgracia, no muchos se están haciendo la pregunta.
Casi todo el mundo que conozco estaría de acuerdo en que Cristo cumplió la ley. Pero, ¿qué significa esto realmente? Parece que éste es el problema. Aunque muchos pueden estar diciendo lo mismo, su definición de "cumplir" demuestra que están significando lo contrario. Entonces, ¿cuál es su definición de cumplir?
¿Podremos decir que creemos en la Palabra de Dios y no hacer lo que dice la Palabra de Dios? ¿Qué es creer? ¿Qué dice la Biblia acerca de esto? ¿Cómo afecta a nuestro estudio de la Palabra el utilizar las definiciones bíblicas de éste y otros términos? Este estudio examina esas preguntas y utiliza la Biblia para revelar las respuestas.
Lot, definido como un hombre justo por la Palabra, ofrece a sus dos hijas a una chusma de malvados que estaban de pie esperando afuera con el fin de proteger a dos hombre extraños (angeles). Los escépticos inmediatamente critican la biblia al decir que la solucion de Lot no era ético, tambien concluyendo que la justicia de Yahweh claramente no es moral. Tal vez hay algo que los escépticos, y de hecho muchos creyentes, les esta faltando de entender.
There are three things that the law does, define sin, bless us, and curse us. The Law of God still does these things...
Confusion is a tactic of the enemy that has been successfully used over the centuries of time which has left many followers of Yeshua in a state of apathy regarding His second coming. As the time of His return draws closer, we should not be surprised at the increasing lines of division that are being drawn amongst many regarding this topic. However, the real lines of separation will be made when the ultimate Deuteronomy 13 test is placed before the Body of Messiah regarding the deception of the anti-christ. It will be then that we truly see who is affected by the...last daze.
Sometimes it is a point of contention, to others it does not even matter, however, it is an interesting topic to consider...did our Creator intend mushrooms to be considered food?
The Pre-Tribulation rapture belief has been dominate in the christian faith for years. It even seems to have gained momentum in popularity over the last decade. Books and, yes, even movies, have made this belief quite fashionable to hold to. But is it really what Scripture teaches?
We encourage you to join us in taking an unbiased look at what the Scriptures say about the Pre-tribulation rapture.
Fasting is a topic that is rarely taught on. But what did our savior say about fasting? Join us in this short teaching as we examine what our attitude and desire should be on this topic from a Biblical perspective.
Most everyone is familiar with the verse that says Yeshua is the way, truth and the life. And for some reason, it seems that we all just pass over that so quickly. Join us as we dig a little deeper into examining what it means when it says He is "the way".
Have you ever wondered what makes the Father angry? Here's a quick thought to ponder the topic.
We have heard many times over from people how the law is no longer for believers today. And many of those refer to 2 Corinthians chapter 3 for their support in claiming how the law is a veil and we are to no longer have that veil since it is removed in Christ. Join us in this brief teaching as we examine just which veil Paul was really talking about.
What does it mean to "hunger for righteousness" as Messiah tells us to in the Sermon on the Mount? How can it surpass that of the Pharisees? What about Philippians 3 and the righteousness derived from the law vs that which is through faith in Messiah? What is righteousness and how do we hunger for it?
Many believe that since Yeshua is now our High Priest in Heaven for the new covenant, they say that he did away with the priesthood on earth. But is this really true? Then that brings up questions to the Priesthood that Yeshua is in. Which in turn brings up the question if we are really already in the new covenant. This teaching takes a deep look into these topics and explores the options of what the Bible says about them.

Excitingly, at an exponential pace, more and more are realizing that the WHOLE Bible is still true and applicable to all in the faith today. If this recently describes you, then you may have a lot of questions about many different things. With this teaching, we would like to help you get started!
It is often understood that Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement is considered a day of fasting. But is this simply tradition or a commandment?
A thought provoking teaching that puts some facts before you and asks you to decide what makes the most sense.
You can't keep the whole law! ...thus we are not supposed to try...or so it is often said. Let's test that to the Word...
Yeshua gave us the parable of the sower. He said that all seed is spread among four different types of ground. Everyone wants to believe that they are of the good soil. Yet so few even consider the possibility that they could be of the thorns.
Do you pursue the Torah, which is the instructions of the Father? Then, simply stated, this teaching is for you.
Is the 10 commandments the only commands given to us from God? Were the rest given to us by Moses? Some believe this to be the case. The claim that the 10 commandments are the Law of God and those that cam from Moses are called the Law of Moses. And many believe that it was the Law of Moses that Yeshua came to deliver us from. Could this really be the case. Join us as we examine the scriptures to find the truth of the matter.
(Special thanks to Faith, Grace, and Torah Ministries for their assistance on this teaching.)
Have you ever considered why the Jews reject the Jewish Messiah, our Lord and Savior...What if it was because many today misunderstand Paul...Millions of Jews reject the Christian presentation of Jesus and Paul, alarmingly, because the Word of God says to. Sadly, if the misunderstanding continues, Jews are forever prevented from not only not knowing their Jewish Savior, but also from experiencing the blessings of the New Covenant. This teaching exposes the gap in the misunderstanding, and takes a first step into building a bridge...
Leaven is often loosely understood to symbolically mean sin. In this teaching, we test that perspective...
The seven churches of Revelation have been a topic of questions, conversations and debates for a long time between all denominations and sects of the faith. Join us as we dig into this topic and seek for greater understanding of the mystery of the seven churches.
Paul said that we are not "under the law"...but Paul makes mention of seven laws! Out of those seven laws, there is ONLY ONE we are no longer under. Which ONE law are we no longer under? Are we no longer under the law of God? A choice between context and doctrinal tradition is about to be placed before you...as we continue to "test everything" and ask "Which Law Paul?"
The depth of the Word of Yahweh should never cease to amaze. In this brief teaching, we examine colors, combining the understanding of physics, with the revealed symbolism found in scripture. Any student of the Word should find this teaching highly enjoyable, and also quite unique...
The Ark of the covenant could be considered the most important piece of the tabernacle and temple of God. Resting inside the Most Holy Place, it was where the presence of God Himself dwelt. So where is it at today? Where do we know... it wasn't? When did it first go missing from the temple? Did it ever return there? Does it really matter? Join us in this eye opening teaching to find out why these questions mean more to us today than you can imagine.
Is the law of God as written down by Moses set aside...or is it there to set us apart? What if we set aside the Law of Moses? You might be surprised to hear how the author of Hebrews answers that question.
The consistent feedback we have received on this teaching is that it solves the debate. Perhaps it does. See for yourself. Test it yourself. If you have ever been frustrated and confused about the overwhelming conflicting information about calculating Yahweh’s calendar, then perhaps relief is now available. Discover what the TANAKH taught on this subject, and watch in amazement in witnessing how Yeshua perfectly agreed and taught us exactly the same.
Does your heart burn with excitement when reading the scriptures of what is called by many as the Old Testament? If not, maybe we need to consider inviting the savior to open them up for us. Here's a short message to exemplify the point.
A certain time of the year entertains the traditional usage of a decorated green tree. What does our Creator think about this tradition?

Is the gift of tongues for today? Is there a need for the gift of tongues today? Can a gift of the Spirit be abused? Is everything that ministers are calling a "Move of the Spirit" today really just that? Would the Spirit cause someone to do something that is contrary to the fruit of the Spirit? Explore these questions and much more in this much needed teaching on a topic that has received little attention in the body today.
With any teaching, there are often questions. To compliment our teaching “The Church: His Model” we considered that it might be beneficial to release a Frequently Asked Questions follow up to assist in offering additional clarity on this complicated and controversial subject. This particular teaching reviews how our Creator intends for His people to organize and structure themselves.
The original teaching was never intended to address every point of scripture related to this subject, but simply offer a Biblical framework and perspective that would enable the student of the Word really explore how our Creator wants His people to organize themselves.
Considering all feedback we received out of the thousands who watched the teaching, we only received two instances of disagreement. One was the wife of a pastor, and the other claimed to be a pastor. Overall, we were quite surprised on the overwhelming amount of positive feedback we received. Many offered us further support on this subject. However, we were not surprised that the only two instances of pushback that we received that the common denominator was related to those of a pastor role.
The following FAQ’s will address:
1) Some of the questions we have received,
2) some of the questions that we felt should also be asked.
We hope that this question and answer format serves well. Before you proceed with the rest of this teaching, we ask that you watch the teaching titled, “The Church: His Model” first.
If you have ever wondered just what it means to walk in the Spirit, then this teaching may be just what your looking for. Join us as we turn to the scriptures in looking for the biblical definition of this topic.
To the surprise and confusion of many, our Messiah described a sin that is not forgivable. What does that mean? What is the sin? Is this something new, or already found in the Torah?
When we examine the commandments of God, sometimes confusing is centered around Leviticus chapter 19 verse 19. We examine whether Yahweh intends for His people to not simply mix wool and linen, or not mix any threads.
In the Bible, capital punishment is a reality. If the whole Bible is still true, then the issue of capital punishment needs to be dealt with. Because if one promotes the whole Bible being true, it will not be long before someone will ask if you stone your children.
Have you ever been offended, by someone or something... What does the Bible say about forgiveness... Even our Savior taught that this is certainly no light matter.
1 Corinthians 11 is often a source of confusion for many. We examine this chapter through the lens of Torah and historical context to offer additional clarity and insight.
The threshold covenant played a vital role in Passover and Yeshua's fulfillment of Yahweh's Spring feasts. In this introductory teaching, you should walk away with a better understanding of some of the covenant language that defines the covenant we are in with our Creator. When Yeshua said He was the door, it actually means something quite significant when we walk through it.
The parable of the ten virgins is a passionate subject with those who desire to study Biblical end times. Many are often left with the question, "What does this mean?" ...or we assume we know what it means. In this study, we simplify the parable, by allowing the Bible to literally interpret the Bible.
Just say this prayer and you'll be saved... And then they'd say ... Because Romans 10:9 says ... Have you tested this yet or do you just trust what they tell you? 119 Ministries invites you to join them in watching this video as they put this to the test. You might be surprised what you find.
Did the Law of God change after the cross? In Matthew 5:17-19, what does the passing of the first Heaven and first Earth have to do with fulfilling all of the Law and Prophets? What relationship do Heaven and Earth have with our receipt of God's law? How does Heaven and Earth relate to all prophecy being fulfilled? Was Yeshua referring to the passing of Heaven and Earth just to sound cool, or was there a purpose? We review all of these questions and more in HEAVEN & EARTH AND THE LAW OF GOD.
We've all heard that we're grafted in, but just what does that mean exactly? To whom or what are we grafted in to? This 28 minute teaching gives great insight to understanding that the believer in Christ is a true Israelite. This is a teaching that every believer NEEDS to understand.
Some believe that what is sin for one person isn't sin for them. Some believe that the definition of sin can change depending upon the person. Some say the Bible defines sin. Who's correct?
In a total of 10 minutes, you will be presented with a total of 25 questions exposing the theological error that teaches that the Law of God has changed from anything that Moses wrote, and what our Savior practiced. Test yourself, and test your faith. Embark on a journey that concludes with the joyful freedom of the whole Word of God still being true. This teaching will move fast, so pause and compare against your Bible as necessary.
When someone has been told something is a fact all their life, it's hard for them to consider the possibility of anything that opposes that "fact". Join us in this short teaching that encourages us to truly examine the "facts" of our faith.
Paul's words have been misunderstood for some time. Peter even warns of others taking Paul's words and taking them to mean lawlessness. So was Paul a hypocrite in what he taught compared to what he lived? Or are believers today just not paying attention to Peter?
Do you let your light shine? Or do you hide your light? Before you answer, does it not make sense to Biblically define light first? What did our Messiah say about believers who hide their light? What happens to them? What happens to those who let it shine? This teaching goes well beyond the popular Sunday school song and enters the territory of practical application.
Many say that ever since Christ died on the cross we've been under grace. But haven't we always been under grace? Is the New Testament grace somehow different from that of the Old Testament grace? Join us as we begin to examine this topic in this video teaching.
Many refer to the tutor in Galatians Chapter 3 as being the law of Moses. This teaching sheds light on the topic of the tutor and gives understanding to the confusion.
How many times have we heard it said that the pharisees followed the law? What if we said that wasn't true? Well, it's not true. This teaching will shed some light on the topic.
The "Serpent Seed" doctrine is not a doctrine that is widely popular, however, it is a teaching that has become more commonplace. Because of this, for whatever it is worth, we test this doctrine to the Word of God.

Pick up where we leave off with Part 1 as we try to solve the problem of the strange math we've been taught for years.
We know that our savior rose from the grave, but have you ever questioned how we're told about the 3 days and 3 nights...
Is faith a new concept in the New Testament or was it first established in the Old Testament? If it wasn't new, did the faith established with Christ nullify or make the faith of the Old Testament no longer applicable? Or has faith always been a requirement of the Father? faith always been a requirement of the Father...
In Ezekiel18, our Creator does not provide the answer on how He is able to forgive our sin should we repent, despite Israel questioning Yah on this matter. He simply commands Israel to focus on repenting first. He did not say that it was not a good question. It is actually a very good question. They simply asked the question at the wrong time. Now it is time to find out how He forgives us of sin, when we repent and live.
In Matthew 5:17, Yeshua said He came to fulfill the law, to PLEROO the Law of God. The Greek word PLEROO means to fully preach. This means that Yeshua said He came to FULLY PREACH the Law of God. We submit that if Yeshua FULLY PREACHED the Law of God, then perhaps we should listen to what our Messiah preached.
Got milk...You might be surprised what the milk is, and how many professed believers are still not even fully on His milk...let alone the deeper understandings of the meat...
Clearly the Word of God stands forever. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But then we read in English translations of Genesis chapter 9 verse 3 that something odd appears to be happening regarding the definition and permissions of food. Because some like to use this verse to suggest that the Word of God can change, we need to fully examine this verse and discover the truth. We need to test everything.
Many are quick to say that the New Testament is all about love, not law. What the same fail to realize is that the law of God defines how to love God and how to love others. Thus, law and love are not against each other, but critically related. Sadly, so few realize this in the end, that our Lord declares that many fail to focus on the law of God, and thus the love of many grows cold.
What does it mean to be on the narrow road? Just how narrow is it? After all, it seems that everyone believes that they are on it. Since this is the case, how can we find the definition of the narrow road? Biblically speaking that is. Join us as we dig into the scriptures to find the Narrow Road.
Yeshua mentioned that there will those who are considered least in the Kingdom and some who will be considered great in the kingdom. Why is this the case? And what differentiates the least in the Kingdom from those who are not allowed in at all? Join us as we dig into the only three categories that all men will fall into... The Least, the Greatest and the Defiant.
Is the Word of God forever, or can parts of it be abolished? As always, if we seek truth, we want to test these things to His Word instead of to the doctrines of men.
God abolished or changed His law because it was simply too difficult, right? Some teach this, many don't test this doctrine to His Word. If you find men telling you that the Law of Moses is difficult, perhaps we should consider what God Himself said about it.
If we were to abandon creative theology and return to Biblical terms, interesting things happen...Let's discuss the supposed moral law...
We have all heard someone say, "He did it for me, so I do not have to"...we scripturally examine that statement.
Titus 3:9 is sometimes a last defense for some to bail on a conversation pertaining to the Law of God...here is a thought on the matter...
Paul said that unbelieving Israel would be provoked to jealousy because of the gentiles who were grafted in. But how does that happen exactly? This short video sheds light on this very topic. DVD also available at TestEverything.net
Many have said that the Church is not Israel and Israel is not the Church. Why? And is that understanding correct? If it is not, then what impact does that have regarding the law of God?
Absurd question right? Don't we all love God? Biblically though, what does that really mean? Does God define how He wants to be loved, or do we? Does loving God matter at all, or is it all about God loving us (grace)? These are important questions, yet sadly, not asked often enough. DVD also available at TestEverything.net
The book of Revelation is one that is filled mysteries from every angle. But are those mysteries coming to light as we come closer to the end times? The 7 seals are definitely one of the topics that has been discussed and debated among believers though out the centuries. We invite you to watch this thought provoking teaching as it begins to connect dots that have been over looked up to this point in time.
Many refer to Colossians Chapter 2 to say that the Feast days and Sabbath are no longer applicable for believers today. Join us as we examine the verses often cited for their defense.
1 Timothy 4:4 is a verse often cited to support the typical understanding that God has abolished some of His commandments, specifically in this case, the dietary instructions. This 30 minute teaching answers the question, can we eat all things?
Paul was called "The Ringleader of the Nazarenes" Paul even defined the faith of a "Nazarene" for us. Everyone Paul discipled was also a "Nazarene." Does your faith resemble that of a Nazarene, or something different? Prepare to understand what those of the first century really taught, believed, and practiced in the faith...
Ever had someone tell you that Christ did away with the law? Well, here's another If... Then... teaching to make you think again.
Ever had someone tell you that Christ did away with the law? Well, here's a few questions to make you think again.
How many realize that if the prophets did not say God was going to do something, then God didn't do it... Such a Biblical truth throws a wrench into the understanding that some of God's laws no longer apply.
Does Acts 15 teach that we are not to still obey the Law of God as written by Moses, or just that we can not be saved by observing the law? To answer this, we need to know the debate and the groups involved. You may have always been told what to believe about Acts 15, now...let's test it.
Can we profess to believe in the Word of God and not do the Word of God? What does believing look like? What does the Bible say? How does Biblically defining terms affect the meaning we extract in our study? This study examines those questions and uses the Bible to reveal the answers.
What is tithing according to the Bible? Why did God command his people to tithe in the Torah? Can the tithing laws even apply to believers today? Tithing, is it for today?
The prophets warned us about wolves. Paul warned us about wolves. Our savior instructed us to watch out for them and that they can be known by their fruit. Do you know how to recognize them in these times we live? This full length teaching dives into the study of identifying wolves. Join us as we begin to scripturally define and reveal the fruit of wolves
Anti-missionaries challenge Yeshua as our current head and high priest. There is nothing new under the sun. We find that in the time of Moses those of Korah also challenged the head of Israel and high priest. The consequences were not pretty at all. Learn what the type of Korah has to do with today.
Ever been up against something big? I mean something that just seemed bigger than life? Something that just seemed completely impossible to overcome?
Who are you looking at? The problem or the problem solver? Every obstacle we face is an opportunity for us to grow and learn. And knowing that God is the same today as He was then, we need to understand that we can overcome what ever obstacle comes in our way. We simply need to trust and obey.
There are few topics more debated than the subject of how to calculate our Creator's calendar. In part 2 of the the calendar series by 119 Ministries, we examine the doctrine of the Lunar Sabbath. We test it to the Word and present much to consider in an effort for you to form your own conclusions on the matter.
Many of us already know that the physical teaches the spiritual, and vice versa...now we take that concept and apply it to snakes and scorpions, Biblical metaphors for the adversary.
Circumcision. A topic that is easily debated in many circles. Is it for today or isn't it? Is it the eternal sign or just one that applied to those before the cross? Join us in this second part of our teaching that examines the scriptures to see if circumcision is still to be pursued by believers today.
We've all been told that the Sabbath is now on Sunday. But how many of us have truly tested that? Have we truly examined the basis of this belief? Or have we just blindly accepted what we have been taught over the years based on the interpretations of man's views of the scriptures that have been passed down through the generations?
We at 119 Ministries present this examination of the scriptures regarding the one day that was given as a sign and covenant for those who choose to follow our Heavenly Father.
In this teaching you will embark on a systematic journey through the scriptures to understand the greatest love story that is NEVER told. You will learn what the majority of the bible is truly all about as the mystery of the gospel is revealed through the scriptures and pieced together by Paul's insight.This teaching will forever change your understanding of almost everything you thought you knew about the Bible.
Viewing scripture through the indoctrinated lens of dispensationalism has become the most common theological framework in mainstream Christianity. In this teaching, we examine dispensationalistic thinking, test it to the word, and allow the audience to generate their own conclusions and begin their own study on the subject matter. We pray that this teaching only blesses and serves the body, allowing His people to see the Word the way our Father intended, and the way our Messiah modeled for us.
What is grace... What is faith... What is obedience... And to make matters more complicated, how do they all relate to each other... Are they against each other like some teach, or do they work together in His perfect design... Instead of examining each component individually, this study investigates the relationships in detail as scripture teaches it. This study covers material that offers critical scriptural understanding that needs to be a part of every believer's walk. DVD also available at TestEverything.net
Circumcision. A topic that is easily debated in many circles. Is it for today or isn't it? Is it the eternal sign or just one that applied to those before the cross? Join us in this first part of our teaching that examines the scriptures to see if circumcision is still to be pursued by believers today.
Join us in part 3 of the Pauline Paradox Series. The common position of mainstream theology utilizes snippets from Paul to supposedly prove that God changed His law. However, many fail to take heed to Peter's warning about how people were twisting Paul's letters to promote a lawless doctrine.
Paul is often misunderstood, even Peter said that about him. But if we take the time to get to know Paul, he doesn't have to be. Join us in part 2 of the Pauline Paradox Series where see Paul evolve from a persecutor of Messiah's followers, to one of his greatest Law abiding advocates. Now is the time to learn the real Paul, the Paul you never knew.
Is it possible for centuries of Bible teachers and scholars to have missed something vitally important in Paul's teachings? Could it be that Paul's writings actually support the Torah? Is the majority ever wrong?

Are you looking for a 7 year tribulation to begin soon? Do you expect it to start with the anti-christ signing a 7 year peace treaty with Israel? Did you know that Daniel 9 is the only text in the scriptures that many attribute this 7 year time frame with? Have you ever challenged this view? Or have you just accepted what others have taught on it? We are excited to present this second teaching of our End of Days series as we all pursue to grow in our understanding and continue to test everything.
In part two of The Fourth and Seventh Day, we explain why Messiah cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and then take a closer look at Psalm 22 and the messianic implications it contains.
Вы когда-нибудь задумывались, почему евреи отвергают еврейского Мессию, нашего Господа и Спасителя ...Что, если это происходит потому, что многие сегодня неправильно понимают Павла ...Миллионы евреев отвергают Христианское представление Иисуса и Павла. Тревожно! потому что так говорит Слово Божье. К сожалению, если недоразумение будет продолжаться, то евреи не только навсегда лишатся возможности узнать своего еврейского Спасителя, но также и возможности испытать благословения Нового Завета. Это учение раскрывает разрыв в недопонимании, и делает первый шаг по пути строительства моста ...
Служение "Псалом 118" ~ Всё Испытывайте * США ~
Modern Jewish teaching does not recognize that the Messiah has come, much less that he will come again. They typically do not teach Isaiah 53 as being a messianic prophecy. But what if we told you it wasn’t always that way? There is historical evidence in their own writings, that ancient rabbis believed and taught that Isaiah 53 is a messianic prophecy and that there was to be a Messiah arriving two different times, as Messiah ben Yoseph and Messiah ben David on the 4th and 7th days.
Muchos leen Hechos 10 y dicen:
ya ves, ahora todas las cosas son aceptable para comer.
Lo que no saben es que este texto no tiene nada que ver con la comida. Este video es fundamental para cualquier persona que piense que Hechos 10 se trata de la redefinición de las instrucciones dietéticas de nuestro Creador.
What did our savior really nail to the cross? What was the cup that He prayed would pass, yet still drank? Many have heard that our savior had to die for our sins. But why death on a cross? Is there Biblical relevance to the Kind of death He died? Or was it simply random. Learn what has been unnoticed for centuries regarding the death of our savior. You may be surprised at just how little you know WHY our savior had to die the death He did. Watch the teaching that will have you sharing with all your friends like never before.
Is the Law of God freedom or bondage? Before you quote Paul, we present to you this 119 Thought...

¿Alguna vez alguien le ha dicho que Cristo suprimió la ley? Bueno, aquí están unas preguntas para hacerle pensar otra vez.
Les prophètes nous ont averti à propos des loups. Paul nous a prévenu à propos des loups. Notre Sauveur nous a enseigné d'être à l'affut de ceux-ci et qu'ils seront reconnus à leur fruit. Êtes-vous en mesure de les reconnaître en ces temps de la fin ? Cette courte vidéo se veut une introduction à une étude plus approfondie afin de nous permettre d'identifier les loups.

Meat sacrificed to idols would appear to be an issue of the past and not something believers in the faith must deal with today. But what about the issue of Halal?

Esta enseñanza podría cambiar para siempre la comprensión de todo lo que creías saber sobre la Biblia.
Many realize that there are other books than what are traditionally found in the Bible. What authority should these books project on to the Body of the Messiah, if any? In this teaching, we specifically look at the Book of Jubilees and test it to the Word of God.
A woman has 10 silver coins, she loses one, then seeks, finds, repents, and finally rejoices. Yeshua said that if we had ears to hear, then we would understand. What is it about the missing silver coin that we are to understand about the parable in Luke 15:8-10?
Nous savons tous que des sapins sont coupes chaque annee pour Noel. Plusieurs d'entre nous savons aussi que lors du retour de yeshua, Noel n'existera plus. Curieusement, l'ecriture declare ce que ressentiront les sapins au retour de notre Seigneur. Desirez-vous le connaitre ? Decouvrons-le dans cette autre "Reflexions 119"
Some Jews shave their beards, and some do not. Both supposedly follow Torah, but clearly apply a differing understanding. If we believe the whole Word of God to be true, instead of just some of it, then we certainly need to test everything, including whether or not we can shave our beards.
The famous question brought to life from a different perspective. A perspective that we believe all followers need to consider. Are you ready to take your walk deeper? We ask that you prayerfully watch this teaching and consider the title for your life.
In case you forgot, we're at war. You may have been through basic training but we need to go beyond that. We must make ourselves "Battle ready."
The ten commandments in the Torah teach us a lot about how to live a life pleasing to the Creator. So what about the second commandment? What about graven images? Photography, art, sculptures, statues. Are these things forbidden by the Bible?
Everyone likes to think they have a good understanding of the scriptures and their faith. Though most will confess they don't have all the answers, they aren't always as apt to act in changing their faith accordingly to when truth is presented before them. Here are some questions we wish everyone in the world would ponder and pray over.
Yeshua our Messiah is said to be our sacrifice. The TANAKH, or the Old Testament declares that our Creator is against human sacrifice. Now we have a problem, or do we...Welcome to the opening teaching of the Brit Hadasha series, in which we take the Brit Hadasha, the New Testament, and begin to Test Everything...

Everybody wants their "Promised Land." But there are reminders given to us in the scriptures of the walk we are to make everyday. Reminders that help us in getting to the promised land. This is one of those reminders found in the story of Abraham and Lot.
Did Christ really give us new command to follow... What would the implications be if that were truly to be considered...Join us for this short teaching as we give it a thought.
Many today like to accuse believers who are pursuing obedience to God's law of just picking and choosing what commands they want to follow. But is this really the case? Just why are some commands not followed by those believers today? Are they really only picking the ones they want and just throwing the rest out?
Little do they know that this text has NOTHING to do with food. This video is critical for anyone who thinks Acts 10 is about God redefining His dietary instructions. DVD also available at TestEverything.net
Most everyone that I know would agree that Christ fulfilled the Law. But what does that really mean? It seems this is the problem. Though many may be saying the same thing, their definition of fulfill proves they are meaning polar opposites. So what is YOUR definition of fulfill? DVD also available at TestEverything.net
Few know that the Bible details the intended structure for the Body of the Messiah...even fewer might realize that our Lord really cares how we choose to organize ourselves. Certainly a sensitive topic, and presents a conclusion far different than the norm. We pray that this teaching offers much to consider, and only brings us closer to our Father.
All believers claim they want to be in the will of God. But many just sit back waiting on God to just make things happen for them. Simply letting circumstances or situations dictate their lives. Join us in this study as we briefly examine this perspective.
Lot, defined as a righteous man by the Word, offers his daughters to a mob outside of his home in order to seemingly protect two strangers. The skeptic quickly points out how this is unethical, thus concluding that Yahweh's definition of righteousness is clearly not moral. Perhaps there is something the skeptic, and actually many believers, are missing in their understanding...
In this video, we simply set commentary aside, ask a question, and allow scripture to answer the question for us. This is a great teaching to equip and enable you to answer questions using the Bible, instead of the words of men. You will find nearly one hour of only scripture.
A Professional is usually one who is advanced at a skill. This skill is then normally refined by higher education or training. Thus, allowing the individual to obtain an occupation through this skill. But after this schooling and training, does the professional have no more need for learning? Can a master be taught by a student? This small teaching takes a quick look at "Biblical" professionals.
Life is a delicate balance. Every step we take makes a difference in one way or another. Join us for this brief message as we strive to keep ourselves In Step with the Spirit.

End time prophecy has been the topic of many debates. Yet many prophecy students and teachers alike lack the foundation that is needed to truly understand what the prophetic scriptures point us to. This opening teaching of the End of Days series is a necessity for all who desire to grow in their understanding the basics of end time prophecy.
