    51 – Why Christians Misunderstand Hebrews | Daniel Thomas Lancaster
    Apr 22 2024
    The Epistle to the Hebrews constitutes one of the most difficult sections of the Bible for those of us who have embraced a Messianic Jewish perspective. Thankfully, D. Thomas Lancaster, First Fruits of Zion’s Director of Education, has spent years penning a commentary that will enrich and enlighten you. He joins Messiah Podcast to provide a sneak peek into the premise that unlocked the historical understanding of this important book of the Apostolic Scriptures. – Episode Highlights – * The Epistle to the Hebrews is a difficult book to interpret from a Messianic Jewish perspective. Daniel Thomas Lancaster's new commentary brings the latest in New Testament scholarship and the oldest of Jewish hermeneutical principles to bear on the biblical text to present a relevant and insightful understanding of the epistle. * The authorship of Hebrews is uncertain. While it was certainly not the Apostle Paul, it may have been a second-generation disciple of the apostles like Clement of Rome. * Hebrews emphasizes Yeshua's importance as the gateway to the Messianic Era and warns against turning away from him. * The hermeneutical method used in Hebrews, known as kol vechomer, establishes the weight of the first matter to make a case for the second matter. * Understanding the Jewish context and the distinction between Jews and Gentiles is crucial in interpreting Hebrews. – Episode Resources – The Holy Epistle to the Hebrews https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-hebrews The Holy Epistle to the Galatians https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-galatians-book The Holy Epistle to the Ephesians https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-ephesians-book Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

  • 49 – The Didache: Torah for Gentiles | Dr. Daniel Nessim

    49 – The Didache: Torah for Gentiles | Dr. Daniel Nessim
    Mar 26 2024
    Early Jewish believers in Yeshua created a catechism for new disciples from among the nations. Lost for hundreds of years, this document, the Didache, reveals the expectations and standards the early Yeshua-believing community put in place for Gentile disciples of Yeshua. Our guest today, Dr. Daniel Nessim, has spent his academic career demonstrating that the first disciples of Yeshua considered the Torah to be the moral compass of all those who joined the community of disciples, whether Jewish or Gentile. – Episode Takeaways – The Didache is a discipleship manual created by early Jewish believers in Yeshua for personal Gentile discipleship and how to conduct themselves within the community. The Didache was written around 80 CE during a tumultuous time in history and reflects the beliefs and values of the early Jewish believers, who considered the Torah to be the moral compass for all disciples. The arch of the Didache progresses from directing individuals on the proper moral path to addressing issues of community life that were particularly applicable at the time the Didache was written. – Episode Chapters – 00:00 Welcome Dr. Daniel Nessim to Messiah Podcast! 02:41 The Didache: What it is and where it came from. 05:44 The purpose and significance of the Didache. 08:16 Relationship of the Didache to other early Christian writings. 09:49 The historical occasion for writing down the Didache. 12:37 The clues that betray the Jewishness of the Didache. 14:20 Rediscovery of the Didache. 15:52 Impact of the Dead Sea Scrolls on Didache research. 21:44 Thesis of the book “Torah for Gentiles” by Dr. Daniel Nessim. 28:16 Parallels with Greek moral instruction. 31:12 Modern interpretations of the Didache. 32:36 Textual criticism and the similar sayings of Yeshua in the Didache and the Gospels. 37:52 Hard lines and leniencies in the Didache’s concession passages. 41:37 Is there a specific list of Gentile responsibilities to the Torah? 49:02 Judaism as a religion of grace. 50:07 Why the Didache disappeared. 52:24 The end of Jewish Christianity and the historical context of the Didache. 58:27 The value of the Didache in the present era. – Episode Resources – Torah for Gentiles?: What the Jewish Authors of the Didache Had to Say, by Dr. Daniel Nessim https://www.amazon.com/Torah-Gentiles-Jewish-Authors-Didache-ebook/dp/B091G5C914 The Way of Life, The Rediscovered Teachings of the Twelve Jewish Apostles to the Gentiles, by Toby Janicki https://ffoz.store/products/the-way-of-life-book Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

Relevant, challenging, and inspiring

The First Fruits Of Zion team continues to deliver interesting, challenging, relevant, and inspiring content. I’ve wished that FFOZ would put out a podcast for years and it’s great to see the team come together and enter the podcasting world with flair. Joshua and Aaron‘s music provides a great theme track for the show. I look forward to hearing and learning from future discussions they have with scholars and biblical thinkers that are working together to connect and grow the message in a Jewish movement.

A Good Study Beyond The "Study"

This study was actually very interesting. however I do agree somewhat with the other review in that it would benefit from allowing full expression of the story before commenting. nevertheless I found it very interesting and was still able to enjoy this perspective.
