I very much enjoyed this episode. We have the same view on truth, testing and questioning every single day. I don’t care if I’m wrong, I want to know what is right so that I can do that. Amazing to me how many people I am coming across thanks to Nehemia who also feel his way.

Certain doctrines and theology do not welcome questions. They are designed to provide conformity. and as such don’t value the individual as a unique and specific creation. You must fit the mold or be rejected. Your ability to move with the Ruach is very affirming to many who have been released from the prison of conformity. Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for your great insights!

It is very interesting trying to find a congregation that actually keeps in line with scripture. The irony on one hand, that Christians criticize Jews for adding to the law… the law that they consider entirely abolished except to ‘love your neighbor.’ And on the other hand the irony of Jews who criticize Christians for saying the law is abolished, yet have added written volumes of oral tradition that they give more honor to than the tenach!

Both have access to Deut 12:32, where we are commanded no not add to nor diminsh the law.

In Revelation 22:18-19, it goes further to state that if you add to the law, the plagues of this book will be added to you, and if you take away from it, your ‘part’ will be taken out of the Book of Life.

And that, Nehemia, could be the single greatest issue that makes many ‘messianic believers’ enjoy your podcasts.

I am not taking about those off on ‘sacred name’ or other radical tangents. There is a growing group, (like those with OCD… lol) that take Yah’s commands very seriously, (especially when alternatives include plagues or having our part taken out of His Book of Life) and we want truth.

Like you, Nehemia, who don’t want oral law traditions, we are very excited to have you show us from ancient manuscripts, which we would never have had access to. We sincerely appreciate all you do, and nope… not tired of hearing from you. Baruch haYah! Shalom!

Nehemiah, Have you ever studied out the Priesthood or Order of Melchizedek, the priesthood that is greater than the Levitical?

Nehemia, you mentioned the term soul sleep. Do you have any teachings you could point me to where you discuss that idea?

Thanks!

And congrats on you doctorate.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20) Was it Elijah that you saw at Passover when you were 8 years old, Nehemiah, or could you have unknowingly closed the door on Yeshua? Perhaps the parable of the tunnel will inspire you to back up and revisit your miraculous experience. I love you, brother.

Wisdom lesson of the day, ” You must be wrong to be right”. To be able to see error in yourself, and continue not in error.

Parable of the Tunnel- so true! So often in the Christianities I’ve experienced, questions are considered doubts. Adherents of the faiths are expected to believe every tenet of the published “statement of faith” of that sect. If you don’t, go find you another faith!
