The Israel/Jew distinction was pretty jarring, not sure how everyone brushes by that. Romans 1, nothing new there, Romans 2 his argument for Augustines read over the natural law view was interesting. Already subscribed to Calvin’s view of Chapter 11 so no shock there. Excellent book though.

It’s a shame that your faith seems to be based in books about the Bible instead of the Bible itself. These commentaries on the scriptures are based in human ideas that God died for our sins! The scriptural Messiah is a man, a real man, descended from Adam, Abraham, David! He is the son of man from Daniel 7 & Rev 4 & 5. He is the 2nd Adam raised & glorified by the Elohim Almighty. Read Acts ch 2, Peter’s sermon. He makes ZERO claims to the so called “2nd person of the Godhead”! No seriously, please read Peter’s message again, and tell me who Peter thought the Messiah was. I understand trinitarianism gives agreement to Messiah being a man and “God” at the same time, but honestly that belief is so intellectually dishonest. To be God excludes him from being a man! To be a man excludes you from being God! Billions of so called “Christians” think that the Messiah is “God in the flesh”! Does that seem like a narrow road that few travel on, or is that the broad road that leads to destruction? Trinitarianism is a belief manufactured in the Greek minds of non Jewish / Hebrew minded men, the basis of which began in the 2nd century and solidified at the Roman Catholic Cousel of Nicea! Please reconsider this idolatrous polytheistic position! Your eternal life might depend on it! I think when someone is such a prolific reader, it can be a curse. I have limited time to read and over the past 35 years I have devoted my study / reading time mostly in the scriptures. Of coarse I read books, but I can tell not the way you do. I wish I did have that gift, but I believe my weakness has been a blessing to keep me centered in the scriptures, not the writings of Men. I mean no offense and honestly wrote this for your benefit and blessing. I pray you hear me when you read this message.

Im Israel. F you.

Joel, have you read his book ‘The War on the West’?

Virtually everyone else in the early church , including and maybe especially James the brother of Jesus , weren't initially buying what Paul was saying . It took some considerable arm twisting and scripture re-interpretation by Paul to get his point across . Even then I think the deciding factor was seeing the bags of cash Paul was bringing back from wealthy gentiles and the promise of swelling congregations that tipped the tide in Paul's favor . And , not that this means anything really , Islam considers Paul to be a deceiver ( false teacher ) who corrupted the Jewish religion .

read on the incarnation, so beautifully written. Short too! Will pick up the DBH book based on this glowing review

I disagree with the major premise of this book . We know the northern tribes of Israel are not lost nor have they assimilated into the nations because… 1)The Biblical accounts of Ten Tribes in Judea after the Assyrian capture of the north in 722 2) The archeological evidence of a surge of 80,000 people in Judea population at the time of the Assyrian deportation circa 720 BC. Population of Judea goes from 40,000 to 120,000. This is from 10 Tribes migrating to Judea. 3) The biblical account of Ten Tribes mentioned to be in Judea circa 530 BC after the Babylonian captivity and Ezra's and Nehemiah's repatriation 4) The strict Jewish laws prohibiting inter-racial/religion marriage 5) Paul, who was of the tribe of Benjamin, calls those who were alive and in the land of Judea and the greater Roman Empire " Israel" when speaking to Agrippa. 6) Paul mentions Israel (and he means literal Israel, distinct from Gentile) 12 times in Romans Ch 9-11 7) James addresses all 12 Tribes in James 1:1 8) Anna (Luke 2:36) was from the tribe of Asher (one of the ten supposedly lost tribes) 9) Zechariah and Elisabeth-and therefore John the Baptist-are from the tribe of Levi (Luke 1:5) 10) Jesus chose twelve apostles as a typological representation of the 12 tribes 11) King of the Jews equals King of Israel Mark 15:32 12) The massive aliyah of Israelites from Iran, Turkey and Iraq (formerly Assyria) prophesied and being fulfilled! 13) The Revelation lists 12 tribes to be restored before Christ’s second coming. 14) Peter addresses all Israel in Acts 2:22, 36 etc 15) Josephus did not understand the northern tribes to have assimilated into the nations. He saw them as still a distinct and identifiable people group.

THE INDIVIDUALS IN ISRAEL NOW ARE NOT THE TRUE HEBREWS OF THE BIBLE YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS FACT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION IS AT STAKE

Starting to love your content

I mean, whole dissertations could be written on the discrepancies between Paul's theology and that of the character of Jesus in the various gospels. Dr James Tabor wrote and published a good one, in fact, which I would commit to anyone viewing this video. You'll learn a lot more from Taborsbook than from this video clip!

The term "Israel" must be examined in context of the particular audience Paul was writing to. Although there are similarities between Galatians and Romans the context is vastly different. In Romans 9:3 Paul is identifying himself with Israel not based on being a Judean but based on religious and racial aspects. In Romans "Israel" and "Jew" are used interchangeably.

New Agers are the new enchantees ? 7:10 Some if not many Catholics may disagree ( as you hint ) that transubstantiation and Real Presence are things of an enchanted past. They are foundational tenenet of current orthodoxy and are widely held beliefs today. Many contemporary conversions to Roman Catholicism are spurred by this very belief in Real Presence.

That's weird. With asking the Holy Spirit for discernment, I understand it just fine. Are you supposing that we need another book, to understand the Bible? Sounds very, JW/Mormon/Catholic. Nah. I will stick with what God says.

I love DBH. I find it revealing how upset people get when they even hear that all may or shall be saved. The culture of online Christianity at the moment is mostly stone throwing and desire for debate. Rather than theosis, service, worship,etc

Very interesting. Am reading Taylor now. You may find parallels in the the Buffered zone when reviewing vids and entries on the The School of Life website. Thanks.

Thx for your book review ❤❤

Lmao the Ray Comfort jump scare

The second resurrection makes absolutely no sense from an annihilationist perspective. God resurrects the dead in order to annihilate them?

I've been noodling on an idea that the substitutionary part of the atonement has to do with human to human relationships rather that human to God and I wonder if this touches on that any.

It's a sci-fi using the Bible. He believed in evolution and hung out on Art Bell show = UFO are real🙄 He also said, yeah, Enoch is not credible scripture but, what's wrong using it to understand the Bible 😲

Good resource. Thanks for sharing

U must b drinking alot of coffee

I just now ordered it. Thanks.

Growing up in the Restoration Movement, and attending one of their colleges/seminaries, this understanding of Paul was always a backdrop for me. The thematic concept that the Church was intended to fulfill the Covenant with Israel is a powerful statement. The Church is not a "plan B", "second covenant", or even response to an "oh my" moment. It also implies that the nation state of Israel being some form of prophetic fulfillment held in many US evangelical circles is not the point of Scripture at all. The modern state of Israel is in no way part of Paul's concept here. The Church is Israel, restored to the Covenant through Jesus, not through political machinations. But make no mistake, Paul is communicating something far more than just this premise. He builds upon it to provide the Church some guidelines for its own governance--rules of the road, so to say--to prevent a return to exile. We ignore his exhortations to holiness, community, and faith at our own peril.

I just discovered your channel and am so excited to hear more!

My Messianic Rabbi is bringing us Romans chapter by chapter weekly.

Crucifixion of the Warrior God/Cross Vision is so good! It gives one theological permission to believe that God REALLY is like Jesus. And you just cant beat On the Incarnation!

Very nice, thank you !

Dear Joel, I watched this video thru the YT App on my TV & appreciate your presentation. I was not raised in religion but had reason to begin studying the Bible & the history of "We love God" empires, nations & leaders. I remain nonreligious. 50 years Bible Study & 24 years of appeals to the most famous, powerful voices on Earth to speak the nonviolent solution to "holy" fascism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, Anti-Jews & wars that builds no further hate. I can find no pope, no leader, no famous Atheist, no law school, no elementary school that will speak the promised "reconciliation between Jew & Greek ('Gentile'; non-Jew). The Old Testament reveals that the 1 Circumcision is not of a male's foreskin but is of the foreskin of the heart of every human (Romans 2:25-29). Those that honor this 1 Circumcision live to circumcise or cut-away or "abort" rising desires to do harm and instead use their brilliant minds to determine the problem source & find the solution that does no harm at the point of the seed of discontent. "The people of the Circumcision" refer to all humans, regardless of one's ancestry or religious sect or culture, that live to maintain the safety first & peace. "The people of the uncircumcision" are humans that have no problem "birthing" or giving life to desires to do harm for their gain, all of whom can change. I appreciate your video because it proves, again, that this entire world is built upon the silencing of the solution that is further clarified by Jesus and by Paul (in Romans). Not only is the true meaning of the 1 Circumcision globally silenced but so is the One Law of God ('The All of the Law') that substantively means the same thing... that no matter how we define ourselves, we are to make this Unseen All-Good Mind & Spirit seen, not doing things to others we'd never want done to ourselves, meaning that when issues or problems arise we find the solution that does no harm, just as we'd want other people we don't even know to resolve their rising troubles without doing harm to us or anyone else for that matter. To date, since 15 (I am now 65), I have never heard one human ever explain Romans 2:25-29. It is as if it has been deleted from Scripture though it is there is black & white. To date, I have never heard anyone of power teach the 1 true circumcision that correctly defines "the people of the circumcision" (later called, 'The Jews') from "the people of the uncircumcision" (later called, 'The Gentiles'). There will never be that promised reconciliation between Jew & Gentile until mankind understands what "Jew" & "Gentile" actually means. These are character issues. No one is born a "Gentile" in character. Please consider taking the time to hear the historically silenced, relatively simple solution that initiates the restoration of peace on earth. I am no savior. I could care less if there is a literal heaven but wholly care that "heaven on earth" is before us if we want. Humans that do not believe this world can be run by people who know how to resolve troubles without fomenting hate, oppressions & committing crimes against humanity have already lost. Do you live to fix rising troubles before you without hurting others or not? I will not put the link to this video here. I plan to record the final part tomorrow. I am not monetizing or seeking fame. Stay well. I have subscribed & look forward to watching more of your videos. Here's the video title presenting the solution. PT 3A: BRICE TAYLOR, ROGAN, KULINSKI, SERF TIMES, MO’NIQUE, KATT: THE SOLUTION & FAKE OPPOSITION

This is why anybody who teaches the replacement of Israel with the church will never understand this theology . We should always remember that Jesus made it very clear that he was only sent to the lost sheep o the House of Israel.

"All Israel" is the church.

was pol polytheist？

Not so fast! The ten tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel were not completely wiped out, but their fate was complex and multifaceted following the Assyrian conquest in 722 BCE. ### 1. **Exile and Dispersion:** - **Assyrian Conquest**: The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern Kingdom of Israel, and a large portion of the population was indeed exiled. The Assyrians had a policy of deporting conquered peoples to different regions within their empire to prevent rebellion and to break down local identities. As a result, many Israelites from the northern tribes were dispersed throughout the Assyrian Empire, losing their distinct identity over time. These exiles are often referred to as the "Lost Tribes of Israel" because they effectively disappeared from historical records. ### 2. **Remnants and Escape:** - **Fleeing to Judah**: Not all members of the ten northern tribes were exiled. Some Israelites managed to escape the Assyrian invasion and fled south to the Kingdom of Judah. The Kingdom of Judah, consisting mainly of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, also included people from the other tribes who had moved there either before or after the fall of Israel. This included those who sought refuge during the Assyrian campaigns or those who had moved to Judah in earlier times for religious reasons (like those who wanted to remain faithful to the worship at the Temple in Jerusalem). ### 3. **Integration and Assimilation:** - **Integration into Judah**: The Israelites who fled to Judah were gradually integrated into the society there. Over time, they assimilated into the population of Judah, contributing to the formation of what would later become known as the Jewish people. This means that the bloodlines and heritage of the ten tribes continued, albeit merged with the tribe of Judah and Benjamin. ### 4. **Religious and Cultural Impact:** - **Religious Significance**: The presence of remnants from the ten tribes in Judah had religious significance, as it meant that the spiritual and cultural heritage of these tribes was preserved to some extent. Some biblical prophecies and later Jewish traditions hold that members of all twelve tribes were present in Judah during the Babylonian exile and subsequent return, though they were primarily identified as "Jews" from Judah. ### 5. **Later Jewish Traditions:** - **Legends of the Lost Tribes**: Throughout history, there have been various legends and speculations about the whereabouts of the "Lost Tribes." Some believe they assimilated with other cultures, while others suggest they migrated to distant lands. However, these theories are often more mythological than historical. In conclusion, while many members of the ten northern tribes were exiled and dispersed, others survived by fleeing to Judah, where they eventually integrated into the broader Jewish population. The tribes weren't entirely wiped out, but their distinct identities largely vanished over time.

To be honest , the Eastern Orthodox Church doesn't teach penal substitution either and they claim to hold tightly true to the early church apostolic teachings and instead teach more of a healing based theology in regards to the atonement. Check out Saint Maximos the Confessors , On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ. That would be an interesting book review by you.

It seems that some from all the tribes returned to land and eventually became one nation from from the times of Ezra and Nehemiah to Messiah's first advent. In other words, it seems that the two sticks prophesy was fulfilled before Messiah came. All Israel heard the Good News from Him. I'm carefully reviewing the prophetic facts to be sure for myself.

I'm a Jew born anew since 1982! God always saves a remnant. I grew up atheist, didn't know my mom was fully Jewish until I was about 50 y.o.! So...After 42 years of walking with Jesus, I just realized about 8 years ago how close His return actually is. 2Thess2:11 is here. The lawless one is lifted up in the holy place (the church). The church is fallen to bigotry & Idolatry. They BELIEVE THE LIE! Jesus is coming soon for this born-again gay stoner Jew while most Christians are left behind because of the bigotry & Idolatry. Idolatry OF THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST! Compare Exodus & Rev 13:16 & Matt 5:29. The Mark of the Beast is SIN, we must be BORN AGAIN! John 3:3. What we fill our minds and give our time proves who our God is. It's Jesus or the Beast. The world is the Beast. Most all the church is lost. 😢Turn off the world and turn on Jesus!

I went and watched 40 minutes of Sprinkles' response before this comment. The separatist/purity approach (not of the world) and the assimilate to win souls approach (in the world) need to be in balance, but often aren't. The balance is to be in the world but not of it. The separatist group criticizes the assimilate group for being too much of the world, and finds them guilty for associating. The assimilate group criticizes the separatist group for not being in the world enough, and finds them guilty for not being willing to associate. Jesus and Paul give us the balanced version of the two, only possible in the Holy Spirit, not by any formula. John 17.15 ... I Cor. 5.9-13

Since becoming familiar with Heiser's work on what happened at Babel, I see the first couple chapters of Romans as the Gentile nations origin story, followed later with the Israel origin story where Abraham comes into play. Still, I am intrigued by what you have presented in this video, and would like to get the details. I'd like to buy the book. I think I make sense of Romans now, even though it might not be the same way this book covers everything. I have long been scratching my head why I don't see more about the restoration of Israel in the NT, it being such a repeated promise in the OT regarding what the Messiah would do when he comes. (In this case, when he comes again.) I don't have a problem with the potter and the clay sections. Pharaoh was a son of god who was fashioned on the potter's wheel of his god, and all humans are made out of clay by our god or gods. God showed mercy on Pharaoh and raised him up, when God could have wiped him out, but did so in order to display to the world his glory through Pharaoh once Pharaoh's heart was hardened. By analogy, God can show mercy on Israel and raise up Israel, only to harden Israel later, and do so in order to reach the Gentiles with his glory once Israel's heart had been hardened. In the case of Pharaoh, Pharaoh was a done deal. In the case of Israel, God will come back around to Israel once the Gospel is propelled out to the Gentiles and the world is reached. I realize that this book is taking "Israel" in a different direction, but I see compatibility between raising up faithful Israelites once Israel heeds the Gospel, and restoring the tribes/kingdoms of Israel back together again. But it is so clear over and over again that after God scatters Israel, he will have a time of gathering them together again, and that the Messiah is the key to that restoration.

A book on creation that you missed: _Hymns on Paradise_ by St. Ephrem the Syrian, composed in Aramaic in the 4th century AD, which interprets the earliest chapters of Genesis is a very different and non - literal way, thus showing that there is not just one way to understand the story of creation, and raising the question of whether Genesis itself was intended any more than St. Ephrem's _Hymns_ to depict creation as it literally happened (which no man was witness to) or to impress upon our minds theological and moral truths.

The wild aurochs went extinct during the lifetime of George Washington, and from time to time the bones of some extinct animal would be extricated from the soil by chance, so certainly it was understood that species could go extinct, but they probably reasoned that if animals go extinct from time to time, yet there are still lots species in existence, then the earth could not be very old or there would be very few species left. BTW, evolutionary theory was much older than Darwin, but it had few adherents before Darwin hit upon the idea of natural selection as an explanatory mechanism. An Arabic scholar also had Darwin's idea in ninth century AD Baghdad, but it was too early or in the wrong place and therefore just never caught on that early.

Bishop Ussher calculated the age of the earth as 4004 BC "with quite a bit of precision." - Based on the KJV Bible (so not the LXX), this is not really hard to do. I did it myself when I was about 15 or 16, but if we think the biblical writers were trying to reveal to us the age of the earth, or that this was a concern of theirs at all, then we have misunderstood their true aims.

I, too, highly endorse _Christus Victor_ by Gustaf Aulen. One thing that is clear from Aulen's book is that the Apostles had no doctrine of penal substitution (or they would have taught it to the churches they founded) and would have been quite surprised had someone proposed it, yet most Protestants now present it as an unquestionable dogma rather than the doctrinal innovation it really is. For example, when the founders of Fundamentalism wanted to reduce Christianity to a least common denominator of five dogmas, the substitutionary atonement was and still is one of their five planks, yet no one every heard of anything like it until the eleventh century! _Christus Victor_ is one of the books that set me on the path to Eastern Orthodoxy. Also, since I came originally from the "believers' baptism" branch of Protestantism, Joachim Jeremias's two books on infant baptism are real eye openers. They also helped me realize the extent to which Medieval Western and later Reformation/Renaissance Christianity was shaped by the individualism of the Germanic cultural area. Predestination too. In northwestern Europe, Luther and Calvin simply assume that predestination is individual. The individual is predestined. But for St. Paul, the Church is predestined. It is collective. And speaking of the Church, I assume you already realize that the Church was not instituted in the book of Acts, but already existed before the birth of Christ. It was only the covenant that changed. The Jews repeatedly describe themselves as the ekklesia or church in their translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek, and that was the version of the Hebrew Bible that the Apostles relied on when they took the gospel to the Greek speaking world. Indeed, Eastern Orthodoxy still relies on the Greek Old Testament because it is based on a version of the Hebrew text that was older than the Hebrew texts that survive today. It was St. Jerome while making his Vulgar (Common) Latin or "Vulgate" translation who made the switch to the post - Christian Hebrew version over the objections of St. Augustine of Hippo who tried to dissuade him. And since there are not two ekklesias but one, it is exclusively the adherents of the New Covenant who must be regarded as the elect (chosen) people and the heirs of the promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As with Abraham, this is determined by one's faith, not by biological ancestry, since God could turn the rocks into children of Abraham if he wanted. So that kills the Dispensational ecclesiology of Darby and Scofield. Sorry for the digressions.

I’ll put it on my list.

And you gobbled that up? I personally enjoy reading textbooks when I want to gain a new understanding of scripture.

Looks like a deep read.

This whole argument is kind of blowing my mind lol

Bought this book last week. The pages were falling out. Sent it back and received a replacement. Same thing. The book is not bound well. Anyone else have this problem???

He is an excellent scholar and he will also be on the Ehrman Conference on NINT24 next month with 9 other scholars. Hope you are there. Jason A Staples also has another (2021) _The Idea of Israel in Second Temple Judaism: A New Theory of People, Exile, and Israelite Identity_

You still are not complete in your understanding if you have NOT concluded that YISRAEL ...are NEGROES. It is about BLOODLINES...not race. KAZARIAN AZKENAZI JEWS are the fake Jews in Rev. 2:9 and 3:9. Now...that is the truth and you heard it from a TRUE bloodline decendant of Abraham, Issac and Yisrael. Shalom.

Hey, Joel. It occurred to me during this review that perhaps there's a place to add a section to your usual review format where you talk briefly about who the author is: their age, place of origin, educational background, religious orientation, previous writings, etc. You often end up mentioning some of these things in the course of covering your other sections, but maybe placing it upfront would provide more context to the review as a whole.
