He put the new covenant in His own blood into the hands of His friends, and we turned it into a sacrament. Read Hebraically, the cup is a covenant cut once and sealed forever, not a rite to be re-administered on a schedule by a professional. A sealed covenant cannot be re-sealed, and the covenant that retires the mediator was quietly rebuilt into a priesthood. Why I refrain, and what is still left at the table.

When the title Masch'yah traveled over the Greek bridge to become Xristos, four distinct traditions reached out to inherit the ancient trunk of Covenantal Yahwism. This essay tracks how two of those lines grew into world religions by dropping the hard economic weights of debt release and Jubilee, while the heir that kept the trunk's constitutional substance whole was quietly written out of the will.

This is an explanation for normal believers. I need to do this because of all the lies, distortions, and manmade doctrines which have arisen because of the panic of Satan and his minions.

I went back to a church I disagree with, and for the first time in years I had a good time. I just was not there for the reasons anyone in the room assumed.

This is the story that will not break, held not by the hands of men but by the very word of God. Garden to city, one arc, no rupture. The only faith that came straight from the text, before men fenced it and Rome tried to dissolve it. And the High Priest who returns to Jerusalem to end every institution built in His absence.

Talking about the trouble both jews who know Messiah, and institutional Christians have with e Holy Spirt. Why it matters.

A consolidated portrait of Paul through Ebionite eyes: the Fish of the Great Sea, formed in philosophical Tarsus and trained in Gamaliel's academy, adjudicated a false prophet on four constitutional grounds by the community that knew him best. The verdict stands, and yet the handful of true sentences in his letters belongs to the Covenant tradition whose vocabulary they were written in, and reclaiming them is not generosity toward Paul but repatriation.

The West pictures a proud man thrown from a horse and converted to a new religion. There is no horse in the text, and there was no conversion. Saul of Tarsus was a Torah-trained Jew who, on the Damascus road, finally recognized the One his own Scriptures had been pointing to all along, and followed them all the way home.
