Rebuttal to: Dr. Tim Chaffey - his article "Dangers of the Hebrew Roots Movement." Part 1 - 2018

by: Patrick McGuire written on March 26, 2018 Part 1

Watch as Patrick McGuire of River Valley Torah Assembly goes over a rebuttal he wrote on March 26, 2018

This rebuttal is to challenge those who are critical of others who have embraced the ways of the Father as He states in His Word. It is especially to challenge those who lead in and teach such things that they may repent and turn to the Father’s Instructions.

Our group, River Valley Torah Assembly, does not necessarily fall in line with the Hebrew Roots Movement, per se. We are simply a group that studies Scripture and desire to live in a way that is pleasing to our Father in heaven by being obedient to His Word and His Ways. We have been doing so for the last 20+ years or so. However, if we were to be “categorized” in a group the HRM would be closer than any other. Regardless, the outlandish claims made in this “abstract” show a deep ignorance that must be addressed.

(Prov 18:17 NASB) The first to plead his case seems just, Until another comes and examines him.

The response to the AIG abstract is rather lengthy. In order to address each and every issue, accusation, and allegation made by Tim Chaffey. If one wishes to address one or more of these issues as a time instead of the rebuttal as a whole, contact me.

This video covers the following:

The Torah is “God’s Law” and not an invention of Moses.

“Israel” consists of a “mixed multitude,” not just Jewish people. (Exodus 12:37-38)

Many Christian traditions are non-Scriptural and are adopted from pagan ceremony.

It is vitally important to understand the New Covenant according to Scripture!

How should we understand “Israel” and “the church” according to Scripture?

Some Gentiles are a part of God’s people, which is “Israel.” (Ephesians 2:11-3, 19, 3:6)

What did He mean when Messiah said he came to “fulfill” the Law? (Matthew 5:17-19)

Peter warns us not to interpret Paul’s letters in a lawless manner! (2 Peter 3:14-18)
