Do Christians Have to Keep Torah? We Couldn't Agree...Ep. 68
Do Christians Have to Keep Torah? We Couldn't Agree — and that's the point.
Jonathan, David & guest Nathaniel Alexander go head-to-head on one of the most divisive questions in the Church today: Is the Law of Moses still binding for Christians? From justification vs. sanctification to Acts 15, Matthew 5:17, and New Testament passages on the law, this is our most honest, tension-filled conversation yet.
This isn't about winning a debate — it's about wrestling with Scripture together. Whether you lean toward Torah observance, Hebraic Roots, or see the Law as fulfilled in Christ, you'll hear both sides challenged with grace and truth.
