1/5 Salvation isn’t about perfect theology; it’s about a heartfelt connection with God. Let’s mirror Yeshua’s love outwardly. Worship in spirit, truth, grace, and understanding. #Grace #Faith #SpiritandTruth
2/5 In worshipping Adonai in spirit and truth, we aim for ἀκριβέστερον - a more accurate understanding of Him. Like Priscilla and Aquila with Apollos (Acts 18:26).
3/5 This accuracy helps us walk circumspectly (Eph. 5:15) and be prepared for the day of the thief (1 Th. 5:2). Yet, the pursuit of perfect theology may remain elusive.
4/5 Warnings against heresy are primarily about harmful or significantly incorrect interpretations. Minor differences in understanding should not divide us.
5/5 Let’s focus on the sincere pursuit of truth and deepen our personal relationship with Adonai. Let our actions mirror Who God is to others (James 3:17-18; Hebrews 1:3; Wisdom 7:26). #Grace #Faith #SpiritandTruth

1/6: Often in discussions around Scripture, we encounter what’s known as a ‘false dilemma’ or ‘false dichotomy.’ This logical fallacy presents only two options when there are, in fact, more. #BibleStudy #LogicalFallacy
2/6: A ‘false dilemma’ assumes that only one of two alternatives can be true. This binary thinking neglects the possibility of additional options, or that a spectrum of possibilities might exist. #FalseDilemma #CriticalThinking
3/6: Reconsider the glorification of God. Some might argue we should only glorify the Father and not Yeshua, His Son. This sets up a false dichotomy. Why? Because according to Scripture, both are glorified. See 2 Peter 3:18 for definitive proof. #GlorifyGod #PeterGlorifiesYeshua

1/15: Within Biblical theology, the teaching and practice of glorifying Yeshua (Jesus) is closely linked with glorifying God the Father. Let’s dive into this concept, while also examining the significant link between Yeshua and Moses in the Bible. #BibleStudy #MessianicJudaism
2/15: Yeshua consistently taught his followers to glorify God the Father. Yet, in passages like John 10:30 (‘I and the Father are one’) and John 14:9, he suggests that to know and honor him is to know and honor the Father. #BookofJohn
3/15: Shaul (Paul) and other New Testament writers also glorify Yeshua. In Philippians 2:9-11, for example, Shaul describes God exalting Yeshua and asserts that every knee should bow to him in ἐξομολογήσηται, lit. “confession of praise.” #PaulsLetters #NewTestament

The Power of Hope in Challenging Times

1/4 “For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, since I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel” - Acts 28:20
2/4 Just like the Apostle Paul, who wore chains but held onto hope, we too can find inspiration in challenging times. The presence of oppression doesn’t diminish the power of hope.
3/4 We identify with our country based on its potential for freedom and liberty, even when those ideals are yet to be fully realized. This belief fuels our determination to create positive change and work towards a better future.

1/7: A profound conversation unfolds in John 4:21-24 between Yeshua and the Samaritan woman at the well. Here, He talks about a new way of worship - one that’s not bound by a location but by ‘spirit’ and ‘truth’. 🕊️✨ #BibleVerse #Theology
2/7: In Greek, “worship,” προσκυνέω (proskyneo), means “to kiss towards,” as though kissing the ground out of reverence. The Hebrew equivalent is השתחווה (hishtachavah) involves a similar act of bowing down or prostrating oneself out of the deep respect involved in worship.
3/7: The word “spirit” translates from Greek πνεῦμα (pneuma) and the Hebrew רוח (ruach). These words denote an unseen yet powerful force - the very breath of God, a life-giving power that transcends the physical. #BibleWords #Spirituality

Erev tov, Kedoshim. I wanted to share with you something that I learned last Tishrei after Sukkot. I was studying Yeshua’s encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, when I was prompted to look at the Greek text underlying the English translation of John 4:22.
After praying for discernment, I realized that the Greek personal relative pronoun, ‘ὃ’; ‘ho’, was translated to 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩. I found this peculiar. I should preface that I’m not a Greek scholar, and I don’t pretend I fully understand Koine Greek.
That said, I looked at all modern Bible versions that I'm aware of, including Messianic ones, and all of them render the verse the same way, except one version, which I'll share in a moment.

“Similarly, it was taught in a Baraita that Rabbi Gamliel, son of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, says: The verse that states: ‘𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪.’🪡
Deuteronomy 13:18 teaches us that anyone who has compassion for G-d’s creatures will receive compassion from Heaven, and anyone who does not have compassion for G-d’s creatures will not receive compassion from Heaven” (Shabbat 23:151b:14). Image
