Moshe Schwab's Podcast

Theology tends to take liberties with the scriptures whether they are Jewish or Christian theology. My JPS Bible (Jewish translation from the Hebrew) has even taken some liberties with their translation of the Bible and the JPS says we are not to say God's real name even though it does not say that in the Hebrew. Strong's Dictionary even disagrees with their wrong translation.   Why do t...

Focus more on doing what is "right and good," and not on everything that is going wrong. Be who you are supposed to be spiritually and do not react to those who hate. Be a leader of your life and take charge of your life and do not be fooled by wrong ideas and ideals. Enjoy life and consider your spiritual path. Trust in God and walk in His ways. Walk with God both in works and faith. It...

God will judge us for the good or bad we have done. What does that mean? Sometimes we need to read the context to find out what something is referring to in the Bible and sometimes a verse clearly explains itself. At other times, we need to understand what the words mean by its usage in the Bible. The Bible says that to do good is to keep His commandments. Deuteronomy 6:17-18 NKJV says, "You...

Since God's ways are good and what is best in life, those who keep His commandments experience good things in life. Psalms 34:12-14 NKJV says, "Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." Also, Psalms 37:3 NKJV says, "Trust in...

Be at peace in your home and in all you do.  We need to take control of our thoughts so that we trust in God and have peace in life. One of the ways we can do that is by also praying about what is bothering us. Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, whi...

We need to talk about biblical issues because people are easily swayed into believing all kinds of things instead of what the Bible says. Deuteronomy 6:7 NKJV says, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up ." I went to a seminar years ago and the person talking s...

They were to appoint judges and officers for the towns to make judgments. Deuteronomy 16:18 NKJV says, "You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment." The Bible talks about how to make these judgements. For example, the 10 Commandments talk about some of the things...

Look to the real light. This very important scripture in Deuteronomy tells us that God's commandments give us wisdom and understanding.  Deuteronomy 4:6 NKJV says, Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Therefore, th...

Hold onto the light and resist darkness. Living right is a serious matter. Be careful to follow God's good wisdom and understanding. Enjoy life and what is good. Do not be shortsighted and make your life into an endless effort to seek satisfaction. Those who do are often never satisfied in life. Those who oppose God are often worldly and their life is often only a shell of what they should be...

Last week we talked about the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit. For more information on the Messianic gifts, go to our Divine Healing Prayer Class on our website. You can find the class on our drop-down menu. We repeated ourselves a little bit last week because we used part of one of the teachings from the class. Repetition is not a bad thing. Does a person that commits themselves to follow God...

Some say that you have to be perfect before you speak in tongues, but that is not what the Bible says. The evidences of the Holy Spirit and gifts are to help us grow as a believer. Ephesians 4:12 CJB says, "Their task is to equip God's people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah." So, if God's gifts are to help us grow, then they must be available to us f...

Some People think they are doing okay spiritually but sometimes that is not true. Deuteronomy 29:19-20 NKJV says, "He blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I follow the dictates of my heart – as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.' The LORD would not spare him; for then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy would burn against that man.&...

New Testament doctrine teaches us to keep God's Old Testament commandments. Romans 3:31 NKJV says, "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law."   1 John 3:4 and verse 8 NKJV says, "Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness." Verse 8 says, "He who sins is of the devil."  James 2:22 N...

Why contend, struggle, to act in faith if there are no consequences for disregarding God's commandments. Those who do not keep God's commandments are marked out for condemnation it says in Jude. No one is immune to this. Even the angels who sinned will face eternal fire and so will those who do not keep God's commandments no matter who they are. Revelation 21:8 calls it "The la...

We talk about how the scriptures have been changed so that in some places it seems to say we do not have to keep God's Old Testament commandments. We give examples, but people refuse to "see" correctly. Well did Yeshua say, that those who say they "see" are blind. Since all the early leaders of those who believe in Yeshua taught that we are to keep God's Old Testament...

God cares about us and if we follow God with our whole heart, He is merciful towards us.  Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV says, "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments." Following God's commandments helps us in life and gives us peace.  Psalms 29:11 NKJV says, &...

We are people of light. Live as people of light for our own good. Be enlightened through God's best ways and truths for life. Be renewed and refreshed through God. He is the good creator God who wants to help mankind. The Bible says God gives us wisdom and understanding for life. Guard your thoughts for your own good. Stay in the sure ways of life. Watch your step and do not be sidetracked. G...

In our teachings, we use the Hebrew names for the people of the Bible. For example, Moses' real name was Moshe. Jesus' real name is Yeshua. Paul's real name was Shaul. Paul may have had a Greek name as well but most of his dealings were with other Jews who would have called him Shaul. Have you ever had trouble remembering someone's name because they had a different name than mo...

God’s ways give us peace and protection. You cannot feel more protected than being healed and helped in life by an almighty God who cares about us. Rabbi Shaul said in Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart...

We should also understand that God has given mankind grace since the inception of time. God gave grace to Adam and Eve through the promise of a Messiah (see Genesis 3:15). God gave Noah grace. Genesis 6:8 NKJV says, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD." Noah was a man who did what was right and kept God's commandments. That is what righteousness means. 2 Peter 2:5 says tha...

God’s spiritual people are more than shells of human beings. People are more than just a physical entity. Each person is a special thinking human being. Those who keep God's commandments are God's special holy people. In this era, God also has given the supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit to the believer through the Messiah Yeshua. We seek a future that is not at all like the present. W...

Have joy and enjoy your spiritual walk. Always pursue following God the way we should. We walk with God by keeping His good commandments. They are God's lovingkindness and truths for life that He gave us to help us. Stay above the ways of this world. Have a proper spiritual focus so that we are always ready to do what is right even when we face pressures in life. Listen to God and try to dete...

Stay connected to our good God. God helps us in life. Respect and trust in God, His commandments, and the Messianic gift of the Holy Spirit. We do not live by bread alone, but also though God's good gifts, His commandments and the Holy Spirit to help us live right. Do not be lured into disobeying God and living in sin and evil. If you are trapped by sin, change and instead be committed to God...

God knows if we are following Him half-heartedly. Follow God with your whole heart. Do not follow any preconceived ideas that contradict the Bible. Patiently learn and grow spiritually. Do not give up. Seek God and do not let worldly ideas and ideals get you upset. Line up your life with truth. Learn what is true spiritual light and seek truth. Not all churches have your best interests at heart, b...

People often think of the law not to work on the Sabbath as a restriction. Consider this. People in ancient cultures often worked 7 days a week, so they got no guaranteed weekly rest. Slaves in particular worked 7 days a week. So, the Sabbath points to us being a free and privileged people. The commandment also says that everyone is to benefit from this day of rest, even the animals! So it is trul...
