Book cover for To a Thousand Generations: Infant Baptism - Covenant Mercy to the Children of God
One of the problems in the entire debate over baptism has been the natural mistake of deriving the doctrine of the covenant from our doctrine of baptism, instead of beginning with the doctrine of the covenant, and then proceeding to discuss ...more

“Metalepsis is a literary technique of citing or echoing a small bit of a precursor text in such a way that the reader can grasp the significance of the echo only by recalling or recovering the original context from which the fragmentary echo came and then reading the two texts in dialogical juxtaposition.”
Chad Bird, The Christ Key: Unlocking the Centrality of Christ in the Old Testament

“​As Torah-observant Christianity has grown, it has been forced by Scripture to normalize on several important issues, salvation being primary. Only a handful of Torahists openly continue to teach that keeping Torah is a matter of salvation. Most categorize it as a matter of obedience, teaching that, once saved, keeping the Law is how we rightly live out our faith. At the same time, they believe keeping the Mosaic commands is required of all Christ-followers, and those who do not “keep Torah” are openly living in sin.”
R.L. Solberg, Torahism: Are Christians Required to Keep the Law of Moses?

“There exists a set of perfect principles grounded in God that never change, and He has expressed these principles differently at different times in history. Every commandment given by God in every expression across time is grounded in one or more of His unchanging principles. And although Scripture reveals that God’s expressions have changed over time—and we will look at many examples of this in Part Two—the various expressions all reflect the immutable heart of God and are therefore more alike than different.”
R.L. Solberg, Torahism: Are Christians Required to Keep the Law of Moses?

“By emphasizing a works-based, law-focused lifestyle, Hebrew Roots’ teachings deemphasize the “abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness” (Rom 5:17) that is ours through Jesus. But the danger is even bigger that what it does to our focus. The core theology of Torahism contradicts and undermines the accomplishments of Jesus through His life, death, and resurrection”

“When Jesus cried out from the cross, Tetelestai, “It is finished” (John 19:30), he was declaring that all things had been brought to their divinely ordained telos—end or goal—in him. All history had been flowing in his direction. Every river, stream, and rivulet of OT history emptied into the sea of himself. Many of the people in that history pointed beyond themselves, to the telos who is Christ.”
