about us
During our journey in studying and then teaching the relevance of the Torah in light of the New Testament, we sought out research and articles on what many Christians refer to as the “New Testament freedom passages.” Specifically, we looked for research arguing that these passages do NOT advocate freedom from Torah. While many have written about various passages from this perspective, what was lacking was a comprehensive study that addressed each and every passage. It is our goal to make that kind of study available. Thus, the purpose of this site is to provide an apologetic to Christians of other denominations, showing that the New Testament does not teach freedom from the Torah.

The following statements we consider to be foundational beliefs:
- We believe that God created all things (Genesis 1:1).
- We believe that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Messiah, the Son of God (John 1:34).
- We believe that Jesus is the ultimate Passover lamb whose blood cleanses our sins (1 John 1:7).
- We believe that salvation only comes through Jesus (Acts 4:12).
- We believe the Holy Spirit guides believers (Romans 8:12-16) and gives gifts to believers for ministry (1 Corinthians 12).
- We believe the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments) is the inspired Word of God and is for teaching, refuting errors, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
- We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9; it cannot be earned!) although faith is evidenced by works (James 2:18).
- We believe to love God is to obey his commands (1 John 5:3).
