This box set comes complete with video of all ten classes on 10 DVDs, plus a CD with all the audio of the classes in MP3 format (so you can easily take the audio with you on your iPod or other mp3 player). This complete set also includes a spiral bound, 8.5 x 11 hardcopy of the 145 page syllabus. Each class is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, dealing with ten of the most commonly asked questions that are raised when people challenge a Torah based life. Taught by Tim Hegg.
Classes include- 1. "Didn't Yeshua Declare All Foods Clean?" 2. ""If We Are to Keep the Torah, What About Animal Sacrifices?" 3. "If Yeshua and His Apostles Changed the Sabbath to Sunday, Doesn't That Prove the Torah Has Been Replaced?" 4. "Doesn't Paul Dismiss the the Torah's Laws About Food, Festivals, New Moons, and Sabbath in Colossians 2?" 5. "In Peter's vision (Acts 10), didn't God make it clear that there was no longer any need to keep the food laws?" 6. "Paul makes it clear that we are "not under the Law." Doesn't that mean that we no longer are required to obey the Torah?" 7. "If Paul abolished the commandment of circumcision, doesn't that prove that the Law has been abolished?" 8. "Didn't the Jerusalem council (Acts 15) make it clear that the Torah was only for Jewish people?" 9. "Wasn't the Law given to condemn sinners and not as a guide for living righteously?" 10. "Didn't God abolish the ceremonial and civil parts of the Law, requiring of us only the moral laws?"
Something phenomenal is happening in our times: many people who confess Yeshua (Jesus) to be their Messiah and Savior are awakening to the spiritual treasures contained in the Torah (the books of Moses, or Genesis through Deuteronomy). While in the history of the Christian Church the Torah has been more or less considered obselete and as having little or no application to the life of a believer in Yeshua, many are questioning this view and studying the Torah for themselves. What they are discovering is that Yeshua Himself, as well as His Apostles, lived Torah observant lives—that living out the commandments of the Torah is not contrary to a genuine faith in Yeshua as one’s Savior and only means by which a sinner may be made righteous before God. A return to keeping the Sabbath, celebrating the yearly Festivals, and aligning one’s lifestyle with the standards outlined by the Torah has been the result.
Clearly, this return to Torah has not always been warmly received by the Christian Church and her leaders. Strong debates have ensued, and very often the same texts of Scripture are brought to the table as proof that the Torah has been abolished or substantially changed by the coming of Yeshua, and that those who confess Him as their Lord and Savior not only have no obligation to obey the commandments of Torah, but are to be warned away from incorporating such antiquated commandments into their lives.
In “Why We Keep Torah: 10 Persistent Questions,” Tim Hegg selects 10 of these questions most often raised against Torah observance and seeks to answer them by a study of the Scriptures within their historical and cultural background, seeking to let the text itself speak on its own terms.
Also available as Syllabus with audio CD only (no video DVDs) and you can purchase each of the video sessions (DVD) separately. |
