SHALOM! “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer everyone.” (Colossians 4:6) In Israel, if someone is speaking in a very strong and direct fashion, we call it "charif" (spicy). Our hard-hitting outreach videos are very well known for their high levels of spice! Even though some (especially those in gentler cultures) might wonder if they are a bit rude or forthright, the tremendous response we are seeing shows that these well-seasoned materials are very well received. Dr. Eitan Bar's debate with Rabbi Sheitrit gets very spicy, but at the end the rabbi assures Eitan that he loves him and has no regrets. Israelis love a bit of spice. We are happy to bring you the full debate now with English subtitles below: Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL AT LAST: IN ENGLISH! DEBATE ON THE ORAL LAW Read the word for word translation: Welcome to the debate on the Oral Torah. I am Eitan Bar, a Messianic Jew. Sitting next to me is Rabbi Haim Sheitrit, head of a Jewish seminary, a rabbi, and I have heard that you are also a writer, so you have quite a few occupations. Haim, I must first tell you that I am not your enemy or anything of the sort. I have a great deal of respect for you, I really appreciate your coming here today, and I even admire you for that, since I know that people were trying to convince you not to come, yet you decided to come anyway, so I really appreciate it. Today's debate is about the following question: "In addition to the written Torah, did God also give us an Oral Torah?". In fact, the whole Rabbinic law is based on this concept, which means that if the Oral Torah wasn't given by God, then the Jewish Rabbinic law will lose its validity. So today's subject in question is the origin of the Oral Torah... READ FULL TRANSCRIPT "I WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE SPICY" We recently received a message from someone deeply impacted by our videos and materials who was starting to radically rethink life. They were coming from a place of doubt, skepticism, but also great curiosity... "A lot of these things are making sense to me in my mind and at the end of the day, I do believe, but I'm a very logical person. There are a few personal matters which don't fit well together with what you might call the mainstream Messianic faith... The more I think about it, the more I see that the way of Jesus is blessed, so I would be grateful if I could have a conversation with someone who is a Messianic believer and "spicy". Needless to say, we are happy to oblige! DONATE WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? And are words really necessary? God’s kingdom has many wonderful aspects to it, but the good news that we have to share, the actual message of the Gospel, is that we have been invited to enter into that kingdom, thanks to the sacrificial death and victorious resurrection of the Messiah who paid the penalty for our sin. The Gospel is a message of invitation to be conveyed, and words are absolutely necessary! God is a fan of words, indeed He is the creator of them. He spoke this world into being, and Jesus is even called “The Word”. He chose to deliver truth about Himself both in person (through the nation of Israel and ultimately the Messiah) and in word (the Bible). This Gospel message must be both lived out and held out as hope to a world in darkness. When trying to grasp what we need to convey exactly, what better place to look than to the words of Jesus himself, when He gives His own explanation of the essence of the Gospel. In Acts 26, Paul describes his encounter with the risen Messiah, who charged him with these words: CONTINUE READING... Please consider naming ONE FOR ISRAEL as your chosen charity on Amazon Smile.
