Bits of Torah Truths - Paul taught Yeshua & Torah for 3 Sabbath Days - Episode 51 Acts 17:2–4 ב כְּמִנְהָגוֹ נִכְנַס שָׁאוּל אֲלֵיהֶם וְשָׁלוֹשׁ שַׁבָּתוֹת דָּרַשׁ לִפְנֵיהֶם מִתּוֹךְ הַכְּתוּבִים ג כְּשֶׁהוּא מַסְבִּיר וּמוֹכִיחַ כִּי הַמָּשִׁיחַ הָיָה צָרִיךְ לִסְבֹּל וְלָקוּם מִן הַמֵּתִים, וְכִי ״יֵשׁוּעַ זֶה שֶׁאֲנִי מַכְרִיז לָכֶם –– הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ.״ ד מִקְּצָתָם הֶאֱמִינוּ וְנִסְפְּחוּ אֶל שָׁאוּל וְסִילָא, וְכֵן גַּם הַרְבֵּה יְוָנִים יִרְאֵי אֱלֹהִים וְנָשִׁים נִכְבָּדוֹת לֹא מְעַט. Here in Acts 17:2-4 it days Paul reasoned out of the scriptures. So Paul taught Yeshua and reasoned from the Torah and the prophets for THREE Sabbath days. The Torah and the Prophets are necessary for us to recognize the Messiah of God. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Prayer was Customarily Made on the Sabbath Day - Episode 50 Acts 16:13 יג בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת יָצָאנוּ דֶּרֶךְ שַׁעַר הָעִיר אֶל שְׂפַת נָהָר, אֶל מָקוֹם שֶׁחֲשַׁבְנוּהוּ לִמְקוֹם תְּפִלָּה, וְיָשַׁבְנוּ וְדִבַּרְנוּ אֶל הַנָּשִׁים הַנֶּאֱסָפוֹת. Here in Acts 16:13 we read how Prayer was customarily made on the Sabbath Day. Prayer is commanded in the Torah in the lives of God's people.

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul's says God Teaches out of His Torah - Episode 79 1 Corinthians 3:20 כ וְעוֹד׃ ״יהוה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם, כִּי–הֵמָּה הָבֶל.״ (תהילים צד׳ יא׳) Psalm 94:11–12 יא יְֽהוָ֗ה יֹ֭דֵעַ מַחְשְׁב֣וֹת אָדָ֑ם כִּי־הֵ֥מָּה הָֽבֶל׃ יב אַשְׁרֵ֤י׀ הַגֶּ֣בֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶ֣נּוּ יָּ֑הּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ֥ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃ 1 Corinthians 3:20 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. (KJV) Psalm 94:11–12 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity. 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, And teachest him out of thy law; (KJV) We note how Paul quoted from Tehillim / Psalms 94:11-12 in 1 Corinthians 3:20. Here the Psalmist states that God teaches man out of His Torah. And in 1 Corinthians 3:20 Paul is showing the futility of man. So, the idea is that we need God's Torah for instruction and truth. The Torah has not passed away! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Of Being Faithful to the Torah at Corinth - Episode 78 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 א וּבְכֵן צָרִיךְ שֶׁהַבְּרִיּוֹת יִרְאוּ אוֹתָנוּ כִּמְשָׁרְתֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ וּכְמֻפְקָדִים עַל סוֹדוֹת אֱלֹהִים. ב וְאוּלָם מִן הַמֻּפְקָדִים נִדְרָשׁ לְהִמָּצֵא נֶאֱמָנִים. 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 4:1 Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 4:2 In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. (NASB) In 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Paul speaks of ministry, stewardship, and faithfulness. Ministry is a term often associated with religious service and leadership. Stewardship refers to the responsible management and care of resources entrusted to one’s care. Faithfulness is a quality often associated with loyalty, trustworthiness, and commitment. The Torah emphasizes the importance of faith in God and adherence to the commandments and is what faithfulness is all about! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - New Gentile Converts were to Keep Kosher before Learning the Rest of Torah - Episode 49 Acts 15:28–29 כח נִרְאֶה לְרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְלָנוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְהַטִּיל עֲלֵיכֶם שׁוּם מַעֲמָסָה נוֹסֶפֶת מִלְּבַד הַדְּבָרִים הַנְּחוּצִים הָאֵלֶּה׃ כט לְהִמָּנַע מִזִּבְחֵי אֱלִילִים וּמִדַּם, מִבְּשַׂר הַנֶּחֱנָק וּמִן הַזְּנוּת. אִם תִּשָּׁמְרוּ מֵאֵלֶּה תֵּיטִיבוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת. שָׁלוֹם לָכֶם.״ This is a very important observation in Acts 15:28-29. Here we are told how New gentile converts were to keep kosher before learning the rest of the Torah. Note that these things listed in Acts, foods offered to idols/eating blood/eating things strangled/sexual immorality are all part of kashrut. (Shemot / Exodus 20:3, Vayikra / Leviticus 7:26, 17:12, 22:8, Devarim / Deuteronomy 14:21) https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - How Does Love Fulfill the Torah? - Episode 75 Romans 13:10 י הָאַהֲבָה אֵינָהּ גּוֹרֶמֶת רָעָה לַזּוּלַת, לָכֵן הָאַהֲבָה הִיא קִיּוּם הַתּוֹרָה בִּמְלוֹאָהּ. Romans 13:10 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law. (NASB) The question is how does love fulfill the Torah? Paul provides his argument in Romans 13:8-10 for why love fulfills the Torah. These passages emphasize that loving others is the essence of fulfilling the law. It teaches that by showing love and kindness to one another, we are living in accordance with God’s commandments. This is why Paul can say in Romans 13:10 that Love fulfills the Torah. Note also that Love doesn't do away with the Torah but is in fact constantly keeping the Torah commands! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Here Paul and Barnabas were teaching in the synagogue and after having spoken about the Torah, the Prophets, and the Messiah Yeshua, here in Acts 13:42 the Gentiles wanted to hear more about Torah and Messiah next Sabbath. These things reveal to us the importance of the Torah and all of the Tanakh for knowing who the Messiah is! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul Taught the Torah and the Prophets in Synagogue - Episode 42 Acts 13:37–39 לז אֲבָל זֶה שֶׁאֱלֹהִים הֱקִימוֹ לֹא רָאָה שַׁחַת. לח עַל כֵּן, אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים, שֶׁיְּהֵא יָדוּעַ לָכֶם כִּי הוֹדוֹת לוֹ מֻכְרֶזֶת לָכֶם סְלִיחַת חֲטָאִים; לט וּבְכָל הַדְּבָרִים שֶׁלֹּא יְכָלְתֶּם לְהִצָּדֵק בָּהֶם בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה, הֲרֵי שֶׁבּוֹ נִצְדָּק כָּל מִי שֶׁמַּאֲמִין Notice how Paul is using the Torah to explain how we have the forgiveness of sins in Yeshua the Messiah.

Bits of Torah Truths - Paul went to Synagogue on the Sabbath - Episode 41 Acts 13:14–15 יד מִפֶּרְגִּי הִמְשִׁיכוּ בְּדַרְכָּם וְהִגִּיעוּ אֶל אַנְטִיוֹכְיָה אֲשֶׁר בְּפִּיסִידְיָה, וּבְשַׁבָּת נִכְנְסוּ לְבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת וְיָשְׁבוּ. טו אַחֲרֵי קְרִיאַת הַתּוֹרָה וְהַנְּבִיאִים, שָׁלְחוּ אֲלֵיהֶם רָאשֵׁי בֵּית הַכְּנֶסֶת לֵאמֹר׃ ״אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים, אִם יֵשׁ לָכֶם דְּבַר מוּסָר אֶל הָעָם, דַּבְּרוּ.״ Here in Acts 13:14 we read how Paul went to Synagogue on the Shabbat.

Bits of Torah Truths - False Witnesses Accused the Disciples of Teaching Against the Torah - Episode 40 Acts 6:13–15 יג שָׁם הֶעֱמִידוּ עֵדִי שֶׁקֶר וְהַלָּלוּ אָמְרוּ׃ ״הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֵינֶנּוּ חָדֵל לְדַבֵּר דְּבָרִים נֶגֶד הַמָּקוֹם הַקָּדוֹשׁ הַזֶּה וְנֶגֶד הַתּוֹרָה, יד כִּי שָׁמַעְנוּ אוֹתוֹ אוֹמֵר שֶּׁיֵּשׁוּעַ מִנָּצְרַת הַזֶּה יַהֲרֹס אֶת הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וִישַׁנֶּה אֶת הַחֻקִּים שֶׁמָּסַר לָנוּ מֹשֶׁה.״ טו הִבִּיטוּ בּוֹ כָּל הַיּוֹשְׁבִים בַּסַּנְהֶדְרִין וְרָאוּ אֶת פָּנָיו כִּפְנֵי מַלְאָךְ. The simple point is the text states that they set up false witnesses that claimed he was teaching against the Torah. The significance of this is that the text itself here calls these men false witnesses. So the idea is that Stephen was a believer in Yeshua and he did not teach against the Torah like many churches do today (ie it has passed away). So here is a first century witness that the Torah is valid for the lives of God's people today! The Torah has not passed away! https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

The festival of Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and encourages us to embrace the Torah’s teachings and covenant with God. Shavuot literally means the “Feast of Weeks” and is one of the three pilgrimage festivals. It is celebrated seven weeks after Passover. Here in Acts 2 the disciples celebrated Shavuot (Pentecost), obeying the Torah command to do so following the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Using the Torah, Yeshua won the challenge of the woman in “adultery” - Episode 38 John 8:5–11 (HNT): 5 מֹשֶׁה צִוָּנוּ בַּתּוֹרָה לִסְקֹל נָשִׁים כָּאֵלֶּה, (ויקרא כ׳ י׳//דברים כב׳ כב׳) וּמָה אַתָּה אוֹמֵר?״ 6 זֹאת אָמְרוּ כְּדֵי לְנַסּוֹת אוֹתוֹ, שֶׁיִּהְיֶה לָהֶם בְּמַה לְּהַאֲשִׁימוֹ. אוּלָם יֵשׁוּעַ הִתְכּוֹפֵף וּבְאֶצְבָּעוֹ כָּתַב עַל הָאָרֶץ. (ירמיהו יז׳ יג׳) 7 כְּשֶׁהוֹסִיפוּ לִשְׁאֹל אוֹתוֹ, זָקַף קוֹמָתוֹ וְאָמַר׃ ״מִי מִכֶּם נָקִי מְחֵטְא, שֶׁיְּהֵא הוּא רִאשׁוֹן לְהַשְׁלִיךְ עָלֶיהָ אֶבֶן!״ 8 וְשׁוּב הִתְכּוֹפֵף וְכָתַב עַל הָאָרֶץ. 9 כְּשָׁמְעָם זֹאת יָצְאוּ אֶחָד אֶחָד, הָחֵל מֵהַזְּקֵנִים. הוּא נוֹתַר לְבַדּוֹ וְהָאִשָּׁה עוֹדֶנָּה בִּמְקוֹמָהּ. 10 הִזְדַּקֵּף יֵשׁוּעַ וְאָמַר לָהּ׃ ״אִשָּׁה, אֵיפֹה הֵם? הַאִם לֹא הִרְשִׁיעַ אוֹתָךְ אִישׁ?״ 11 הֵשִׁיבָה וְאָמְרָה׃ ״אַף לֹא אֶחָד, אֲדוֹנִי.״ אָמַר לָהּ׃ ״גַּם אֲנִי אֵינֶנִּי מַרְשִׁיעַ אוֹתָךְ; לְכִי וְאַל תּוֹסִיפִי לַחֲטֹא עוֹד.״שׁ Here in John 8:5-12 Yeshua used the Torah command that an adulterer should be stoned (Vayikra / Leviticus 20:10) to teach an import point about sin. He said he who has no sin may cast the first stone. The point is we are all guilty having violated the Torah in some way, and how mercy is better than killing. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/

Bits of Torah Truths - Nicodemus used the Torah to prove Yeshua Innocent - Episode 37 John 7:50–52 נ אָמַר לָהֶם נַקְדִּימוֹן, אֲשֶׁר בָּא אֵלָיו קֹדֶם לָכֵן, וְהוּא אֶחָד מֵהֶם׃ נא ״הַאִם תִּשְׁפֹּט תּוֹרָתֵנוּ אֶת הָאָדָם בְּלֹא שֶׁתִּשְׁמַע אוֹתוֹ תְּחִלָּה וְתֵדַע מַה שֶּׁעָשָׂה?״ נב עָנוּ וְאָמְרוּ לוֹ׃ ״הַאִם גַּם אַתָּה מִן הַגָּלִיל? חֲקֹר וּרְאֵה שֶׁלֹּא יָקוּם נָבִיא מֵהַגָּלִיל.״ Here Nicodemus called upon the Torah in John 7:51 to allow for due process saying that they should hear Yeshua speak before casting judgment upon him. Nicodemus used the Torah to turn these men away from injustice because Yeshua was innocent. https://www.matsati.com/index.php/category/bits-of-torah-truths/
