Guard The Way

In this episode we have a high level chat about the writings of the apostle Paul. His writings are often quoted to promote the antinomian doctrines of the Christian church, however we have a stark warning in the writings of Peter to be careful misinterpreting the Pauline epistles in this manner. We know we are to prove all things, and hold fast that which is good, as well as to rightly divide the word of truth, so join us as we dig in. If you're looking for a deep dive into the writings of Paul, we recommend the "⁠Pauline Paradox⁠" playlist by 119 Ministries. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo5QtZ1bPyYbLdyw2AnVKX9tm-b2YJFhQ

It is common to hear in Christian doctrine that the Law of Moses was done away with, or fulfilled, or is no longer binding for believers in the Messiah under the New (or Renewed as it's better translated) Covenant. Is this the truth? What is the "Law" and is it something that can be done away with? Are things like "Do not murder" and "Do not steal" and "Have no elohiym (gods) before me" done away with? Are obeying these tenants falling from grace? Is obeying the instructions from our Father "doctrines of devils"? We explore those topics and more on today's episode of the Guard the Way Podcast.

Most believers in the Messiah have likely heard that once they are saved, nothing they can do can cause them to lose their salvation. Since salvation is of faith, and not of (good) works, no bad works can cause you to lose that which works did not cause you to gain in the first place. Is this the Truth? How do we understand passages in Galatians and 1 Corinthians that enumerate how works of the flesh do exclude us from inheriting the Kingdom of Elohiym? What about James' claim that faith without works is dead? What about the verses in Peter than claim it would be worse for believers to come to the truth, and then backslide into sin, than before they received the Truth? We do not refute that salvation is by grace through faith. And we don't condemn anyone who believes that they're saved by the blood of the lamb and nothing can rob them of that, in fact we mostly agree. But do we truly have faith - the kind of faith that brings about salvation? We believe this is a question every believer should contemplate daily, lest a worse thing come upon us.

There is lots of discussion around the mark of the beast mentioned in Revelation 13, but how many of us know or discuss the Mark of Yah? What does mainstream doctrine get wrong, or right, about the end times? How can we strive to be Marked by Yah, rather than try to avoid being marked by the beast? Frankie and Drew discuss that and more in this episode of the Guard the Way podcast

The Messiah tells us the two greatest commandments are to love the Father and to love our neighbors. But what exactly does it mean to love? How do we love the father, and how do we love our neighbors? Does scripture tell us specifically what it means to love? Is worldly love the same as Scriptural love?

In the first episode of the "Scripture Defines" series, Frankie and Drew dive into how the Scriptures define the word "Truth". We know that our Messiah is "The Way, the Truth, and the Life" but what does that mean? What does Scripture say that means?

In the first episode of the Guard the Way Podcast, hosts Frankie and Drew go over the first half of Matthew 24, which talks about the end of days. What does this mean for the modern believer, especially for those who might see ourselves in the end times? The Messiah tells us we must endure to be saved - what does that mean exactly?
