How does Yeshua use the Torah to deal with adultery?
Let’s take a look at an example in which deliberate judgment is demonstrated by Jesus in the case of the woman “caught in the very act of adultery” (according to the KJV) from the eighth chapter of the Gospel of John. Although most are familiar with this passage, let us refresh our memory before we continue. |

Recently the Messianic Times has asked me to join their blogging team and post a once-a-month blog. We had some complications last month and it didn't make it, but as of today we are up and running. My "column" is called "Hear and Do" and is focused on addressing issues such as the struggle with hypocrisy among Believers (Messianics in particular), biblical ethics, Jewish prayer and more. Please keep this endeavor in your prayers. We are in serious need of exposure. We currently do not have the support we need to continue our mission. Please pray that this opens doors for Emet HaTorah and speaks to the hearts of our readers. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONTACTING THE MESSIANIC TIMES AND THANKING THEM FOR ADDING ME TO THEIR BLOG TEAM, so that they know people are reading the blog posts. You can view my current blog post ("On Three Things") here: |
In less than a month, Passover will be upon us. The season of Redemption will soon be in our midst. In order to help you enter into the season with the proper mental perspective, you might want to enjoy this teaching podcast I did with Gabriel Rutledge of The Grafted In Perspective. It's called, "Guarding the Matzah," and in it we discuss a hidden principle found within the book of Exodus that can only be seen in the Hebrew. From this lesson we learn the subtle difference between regular bread and unleavened bread (matzah) and what Yeshua would have been trying to teach his disciples when he warned them to "beware of the yeast of the Pharisees." Do we contain yeast without even realizing it? Find out more in this podcast episode, "Guarding the Matzah." |
 As disciples of Yeshua, one of our responsibilities is to imitate him. One of the examples he gives us is when he tells his disciples to gather up the crumbs from the miracles of feeding the multitudes. Why did he do this? Since he likened his teachings to that of bread from heaven, one possibility is that it was to teach his disciples to not loose one of his teachings. We are to collect them and consider even the "scraps" as precious. The bulk of these teachings by our Master reside within the Gospels. |
 In our study thus far, we have seen how the Gospel — the Good News — of John the Immerser, Jesus, the Apostles (represented by Peter) and Paul are all in agreement as to its basic content. The Gospel first proclaimed by John pointed to a coming King who held judgment in his hands. Of him, John said,
