Does observing Passover offend Christ? According to Joel Webbon, it does. In a recent video, Webbon and his friends criticized Christians who observe Passover and accused them of denying the sufficiency of Christ’s work.
In this video, I respond to Webbon’s arguments and explain why Christians not only can celebrate Passover, but that Jesus and the apostles expected that we would.
Origen’s Commentary on Romans offers a fascinating perspective on the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15. Rather than seeing the Jerusalem Council as setting aside the Torah for Gentile believers, Origen argues that the apostles looked to the Torah itself to determine what God required of Gentiles. This video explores his reasoning concerning blood, strangled meat, and circumcision, and what it might contribute to the larger question of Gentile Torah observance.
David Wilber’s presentation at the 2025 TorahResource Academic Conference examines Paul’s attitude toward the Sabbath and biblical festivals, challenging the common assumption that Paul dismissed or condemned the Jewish calendar.
In recent years, the Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) has become increasingly popular among some Christians, with many arguing that it should be regarded as inspired Scripture. While there are several reasons to reject that conclusion, one of the most significant is that the book contradicts Scripture regarding the identity of the Messiah. Indeed, the Book of Parables (1 Enoch 37–71), particularly 1 Enoch 71:14, identifies Enoch himself as the exalted Son of Man. This video presents the evidence for this reading of the text and addresses the objections commonly raised against it.
