At Messianic Approach, we strive to provide a fresh perspective on the Apostolic Writings, focusing on the Messianic Jewish Approach. Join us as we delve into the teachings of Paul and debunk centuries-old misinterpretations.
1 Peter 1:1-2 is a letter addressed to Jewish believers in Yeshua (Jesus) who were scattered across various regions: "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to God's elect, exiles scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with His blood.''
The Exodus narrative is one of the most foundational stories in Jewish tradition, recounting Israel's liberation from slavery in Egypt through divine intervention. The Israelites were enslaved under Pharaoh, enduring harsh labor and suffering. God appeared to Moses in the burning Bush, commissioning him to lead Israel out of bondage. God sent ten plagues to demonstrate His power and force Pharaoh to release the Israelites. The final plague, the death of the firstborn, led to Israel's freedom, marked by the institution of Passover.
The Hebrew month of Nisan is deeply associated with miracles and redemption, making it one of the most spiritually significant months in the Jewish calendar. It marks the Exodus from Egypt, commemorated during Pesach (Passover). This month is considered the "King of the months,'' symbolizing new beginnings, divine intervention, and liberation.
"By calling this covenant 'new,' He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear'' (Hebrews 8:13).
The Talmud is not Satanic
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.''
Let us first define what Dispensationalism is. According to those who promote this teaching, it is a method God uses to enact His purposes toward humanity. It is a way of reading Scripture that divides it into how God deals with His people in different dispensations. The purpose of each is to see how God planned for peoples' salvation in each dispensation - what relates to Israel, what relates to the church, and what the end times will look like.
For centuries Christians have often misunderstood and misinterpreted the words of Paul in his epistle to the Galatians. Protestants believe that the "works of the law'' are referring to the observance of the Mosaic Law, including rituals, dietary laws, the sabbath, the ten commandments, etc. The Catholic church teaches that the works of the law refers to acts undertaken to obey the Law of Moses, the fundamental law of Judaism. Even the Orthodox church teaches the works of the law refers to the Torah.
"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ.''
Paul's mystery - Jew and Gentile are one in Messiah. This is one of Paul's most profound teachings and central to understanding his mission as an emissary to the nations.
The Didache
Why does Paul tell the God-fearing Gentiles in Ephesus that they must no longer live as Gentiles? In what way are Gentile disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) supposed to live like Jews? Paul offers his readers practical guidance for their new life with God's people (Israel).
