But instead of staying focused on what we've rejected, Yahweh invites us to live His way with confidence and joy.The return of the Messiah is not a moment of fear for those walking in covenant—it's a day of celebration.

    - Messiah Expectations in Second Temple Judaism: A Deep Dive into Israel Knohl's The Messiah Confrontation

    The Messiah Confrontation: Why Israel Knohl Says the Pharisees Wouldn't Have Executed YeshuaIn this video, I review Professor Israel Knohl's groundbreaking book The Messiah Confrontation, a work I first discovered through the excellent Kedem YouTube channel. Knohl argues that Yeshua's execution was not the result of Pharisaic hostility—since the Pharisees, the ancestors of Rabbinic Judaism, would not have condemned Him—but rather the outcome of a trial dominated by Sadducees, a sect that no longer exists. Knohl laments that centuries of Christian–Jewish tension have been fueled by blaming “the Jews,” even though the group responsible disappeared long ago.From a Christian perspective, I highlight an important point: if Yeshua is the Messiah, then His innocent death was necessary to fulfill prophecy. Without His death and resurrection, there is no Messiah and nothing for the crowds in Acts 2 to repent of. Antisemitism, which long predates Yeshua's crucifixion, stems from ancient hatred of the children of Abraham—not from the gospel story itself.Knohl devotes most of the book to tracing the development of messianic expectation in the Tanakh, the Qumran texts, and first century Judaism. He explains why many Jews expected a warrior king who would overthrow Rome, and why Yeshua's message challenged those assumptions. While I disagree with Knohl's rejection of Yeshua as the Messiah, his scholarship is honest, rigorous, and fair toward both Jewish and Christian traditions.I recommend this book to anyone who loves deep, academic study of Scripture and the history of God's people. Knohl's treatment of messianic divinity alone is worth the read. My one critique is that he does not address Daniel 9, where the Messiah is linked to the destruction of Judea—something Yeshua explicitly referenced when He foretold the fall of the Temple.If you enjoy serious biblical scholarship, this book is a treasure. I've also linked Knohl's interview on the Kedem channel so you can explore his ideas firsthand. Shalom, and may YHVH bless you and keep you in the Name of Yeshua.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipr7qJZZLx8https://www.youtube.com/@KEDEMChannelhttps://firstcenturychristianity.net/

This message was inspired by watching CJ Cornthwaite talk about leaving Christianity, #deconstruction, and the absolute meanness of Christians towards each other when doctrine is challenged. In my case, I left Catholicism because I proved it to be true and simply could not accept that a new religion was made in the first century with human agency being the highest authority for spiritual truth on earth. I give my testimony here and how I came to believe like I do today. This was a challenge because attaining the knowledge of the mess of the first century and what beliefs were really held was difficult 25 years ago.

    When Sunday and Christmas Became MandatorySunday and Christmas are two pillars and even litmus tests for Christianity today but they both were shunned by believers until deep into the 300s AD. This message shows both these doctrines of men were introduced after the close of scripture and time-stamps when they were made mandatory for Christianity. We also discuss the result of the councils, that assumed the power of God, was to make the original Christians sinners. None of the New Testament authors observed Sunday instead of Sabbath nor did they observe the birth of Jesus at all, yet the councils that mandated these days be kept holy decreed those who did not to be heretics and sinners. Men do not have the power to make or counter laws that are reserved for God alone. Sunday and Christmas are not mandatory for Christianity at all. Hopefully this message motivates people to look into these observances and then return to the true worship of first century Christianity. First Century Christianity - First Century Christianity

    Before delving into doctrines I am offering my perspective on the overview of the faith once delivered highlighting the giant philosophical divergences between the original faith and traditional Christianity. Early Christianity was a mess with respect to doctrines and this idea that one was condemned if they disagreed was a foreign concept. The apostles openly disagreed and discussed concepts while remaining brethren. They also did not believe in eternal hellfire for anyone, let alone for those with slight disagreements in doctrine. At the end of this message I explain what the bible actually teaches about the two resurrections and what will happen to sinners and those who have never heard the gospel. Spoiler alert, it's not what you hear in Sunday church.

    John Calvin and Martin Luther were completely fine having individuals publicly executed for disagreeing with their doctrines. The "early church fathers" had no problem pronouncing eternal judgment on people who disagreed with their doctrines and also using violence to enforce their beliefs. Those who used violence to enforce doctrine in the first century were exclusively the bad guys so it is of the highest level of irony that once Christianity attained to power, it also resorted to violence. Let us learn the lessons of the past and greet each other with love and patience, allowing for the Holy Spirit to lead us in growth toward Yahweh and His Son.

    If Baptism isn't Required for Salvation, Nothing Is

    Baptism is required for salvation. It is the only special thing we have to separate us from the rest of the world's religions, it is commanded, and the Son of God did this as an example for all who will come to believe in Him. This message shows the history of the practice of cleansing spiritual impurities with water from a Hebraic perspective and focuses on the incredible importance of Baptism for salvation of the Christian. Accept Yeshua as the Messiah, repent of your sins, and get baptized as a symbol of being born again into the family of YHVH aka God. Baptism is something that didn't quite come out of the blue but took on more meaning as it drew near for the time of Christ. Washing with water to resolve spiritual impurities is something from Torah that then became something that was used to identify the people of God throughout Judea in the two centuries before Yeshua. In the first century, the practice of mikva'ot was remarkably common, then John the Baptist elevates immersion to being for the forgiveness of sins. Yeshua Himself is baptized by John to show us the example, not because of any need, and the Spirit descended on Him like a dove. The Father even said, from heaven, “you are my beloved Son, in You I am well pleased” when He was baptized. This sanctioned baptism and showed us that it is indeed required. Those who crucified the Messiah, guilty of His murder, confessed their sin and were baptized in His Name on the day of Pentecost, further showing us the requirement for this practice. Peter had to be humbled to be shown that baptism was for all whom God will call to Himself, whether from Israel of the nations.https://firstcenturychristianity.net/baptism-is-required/

    The Sabbath is for all mankind. The Sabbath was created on the 7th day of creation, kept by all the apostles and early Christians, and will be kept in the future under penalty of death. YHVH aka God rested on the 7th day of creation as an example for mankind the same way that Yeshua aka Jesus was baptized. God was not tired and did not need rest after creating the world, He rested with Adam as an example. Yeshua was sinless and did not need to be baptized, He did that to be an example as well. The first century believers would never have considered changing the Sabbath or stopping it because that was the principle means they identified as worshipers of the one true God. This has never changed and this message proves from scripture that the Sabbath is not just for Christians and Jews, but for all mankind.https://firstcenturychristianity.net/the-sabbath-is-for-all-mankind/

Israel is the chosen people and this is explained in the message that God chose them as the conduit for Him to communicate His desire and purposes for mankind. Israel is also essential as the Messiah is of the tribe of Judah, and there is no such thing as a messiah without the faith of Abraham.

    Why are Christians Keeping the Feast of Tabernacles?The page to learn about the North Kansas City Feast site is https://firstcenturychristianity.net/fot-2025/You may be hearing about Christians who keep the biblical festivals and are wondering what that's all about. As it turns out, the first century church continued to observe the biblical holy days. In fact, both Gentile and Jewish people who accepted Yeshua, Jesus, as the Messiah, continued to fellowship in the synagogues for over a hundred years after Yeshua ascended. We see hints of this in the New Testament, notably at 1 Cor 5 when Paul reminds the Corinthians to continue keeping Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread, the Spring biblical holy days, as an analogy for addressing some other problems in their assembly. Keeping these days were so not in doubt that Paul is able to use them as analogies, like we would use Thanksgiving or the 4th of July today. In other words, it is completely taken for granted that the gentile converts in Corinth are observing Passover that Paul is able to use that practice at a teaching tool. What about the Feast of Tabernacles, also called Sukkot? This festival happens in the fall. It was ordained, just like Passover, as a memorial of the Exodus. The Israelites had to live in temporary dwellings for 40 years in the wilderness so this festival is a reminder of that. But it's also a humongous celebration because they got to cross into the promised land and enjoy the food and freedom that came with living the way God intended in the land He set apart!Passover is a memorial of the Exodus and crossing into the Promised land but we all know now that it was a prophecy of the Messiah, the Lamb of God, coming down from heaven to live a sinless life and bear our transgressions. Tabernacles follows this same pattern. It's a memorial to living in temporary dwellings, called sukkot, the plural of sukkah. That's a reminder that our time in this life is temporary, that there is something more out there. But there is a specific prophecy about this observance in the Old Testament book of Zechariah, chapter 14, verses 16-18. This prophecy states that at a future time, the entire world will either observe the Feat of Tabernacles. Those who don't will die by famine because there will be no rain on their lands. This is a future prophecy. Nothing like this has ever happened in history. Most who study prophecy and believe this will happen place the event in the 1000 year Messianic kingdom that begins when Yeshua, Jesus, returns. Whenever this happens, though, it's a prophecy about all nations keeping the Feast of Tabernacles in the future. So many of us ask why not now?Many Christians have returned to the practices of the first century church because it just makes sense. The bible is one story, from Genesis to Revelation, about God's relationship with mankind and His desire to have a relationship with us. A big blessing in keeping God's holy days is that our faith and our lifestyle become one. We who keep these days walk out our faith all year long, planning for the next set of holy days, enjoying the last ones, and living the way we believe all mankind will live when Yeshua, Jesus, returns. We will be hosting the Feast of Tabernacles in North Kansas City this year (2025). This year, we are going to teach the basics of why the holy days apply to Christians. The dates are October 7-14 and we would love for you to join us whether you are local or coming from out of town.

    This one is a total slam dunk for us. There is no question the first century church kept Passover. Paul explains Messiah is our Passover and what we just did is as mirrored off the first century church as was can possibly do. This is not so we can be technically accurate, although that is important. But if we are to believe in this faith, we must pattern our lives after it and fully adopt it. Belief must be manifested as a change in behavior and practices.Printed notes and such available at https://firstcenturychristianity.net/yes-christians-are-supposed-to-keep-passover/
