Did the Apostle Paul abandon the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel?
Many Christians assume he did—but the Bible tells a different story.

In this special Bridge Builders Forum episode, released for Israel’s Independence Day (Yom HaAtzmaut), we explore Paul’s deep commitment to the Abrahamic covenant and why that matters for how we understand the biblical promise of the land.

Far from teaching Replacement Theology, Paul calls God’s gifts to Israel—including the land—"irrevocable" (Romans 11:29).

This episode is essential for anyone seeking to build bridges between Jews and Christians, challenge anti-Jewish readings of the New Testament, and rediscover Paul as a faithful Jew, not a theologian of replacement.

Is the Apostle Paul anti-Jewish? Or have we misunderstood him for centuries?

In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, we confront one of the most damaging legacies of Christian interpretation: the misreading of Paul that has fueled antisemitism. We unpack three common distortions of Paul’s writings and explore how reclaiming his Jewish identity can lead to healing, not harm.

🔍 You’ll learn:

Why Paul didn’t reject Judaism—but stayed rooted in it

How “the law vs. grace” has been misused to paint Judaism as lifeless

Why Paul’s words don’t support supersessionism—and what he really meant by “branches grafted in”

This is a call to rethink Paul, resist antisemitic theology, and build bridges—not barriers—between Christians and Jews.

Was Paul’s body as robust as his reputation? In this episode, Dr. Isaac Soon joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book, A Disabled Apostle. We explore compelling historical evidence that Paul lived with multiple disabilities—and how this impacts how we read his letters. From “thorn in the flesh” to ancient views on circumcision and stature, this conversation offers a powerful new lens on Paul’s life, theology, and mission.
