Peter’s Dream in Acts 10
Oh how many times must we deal with the question of Peter’s dream in Acts 10? Seriously? This comes up over and over again. “But Peter’s dream…” they will say, usually followed by some justification for continuing to eat bacon (or other unclean “food”). OK. Let’s let Scripture interpret itself: ACTS 10: 1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called... read more

For those coming here for the first time, this site can be a bit overwhelming. There is a lot of content here – much of which may challenge some of the things you’ve believed most of your life. To be honest, much of my own beliefs have been significantly challenged and this site reflects the personal journey of discovery that I’ve been on since about 2010. What is the...

Double Standard Abominations
Published by Rob Skiba July 1, 2015 at 3:29 PM A typical 21st Century Christian: “THE LAW HAS BEEN DONE AWAY WITH! IT WAS JUST FOR THE JEWS! WE’RE NOT UNDER THE LAW!!!! WE ARE FREE IN CHRIST!! WE ARE NOT BOUND BY THE OLD TESTAMENT!! STOP TRYING TO PUT US BACK UNDER THE LAW!! Now excuse me while I protest gay marriage and accuse other Christians of robbing God if they don’t tithe to... read more

Published by Rob Skiba April 8, 2015 at 2:49 PM I have to tell you… the whole issue of the alleged 613 commandments argument is getting soooooooooo old. Yet, I hear it alllllllllllllllllll the time. I just went through yet ANOTHER e-mail dialogue with someone who was going off on me about that issue, while saying that I was into a mixture of Talmudic, Kabbalistic and rabbinic theology. LOL! Wow....

Enough With the 613 Already!
Mar 13, 2015
Published by Rob Skiba March 13, 2015 at 2:53 PM Christians have been and are still being deceived and guilt-tripped into a “We MUST support Israel” mentality. However, we really need to ask ourselves what that actually means – and do so in Biblical CONTEXT and not in geo-political (Zionist) contexts. Recently, Gonz (from Canary Cry Radio) posted a “rant” regarding this...

It Doesn’t Get Any Clearer Than This…
Published by Rob Skiba March 4, 2015 at 9:49 PM From Genesis to Revelation, “sin” is clearly understood to be transgression of YHWH’s Laws. And in case that is not clear to you, it is spelled out for us in 5th Grade reading level English by the beloved Disciple, John… 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.... read more

Published by Rob Skiba February 19, 2015 at 3:21 PM Many people like to quote Hebrews 8 whenever we suggest that obeying YHWH is still a valid and needed thing to do as Believers. The problem is they are guilty of two things: 1) Trusting in INSERTED (italicized) English words for their flawed doctrine and 2) Cherry-picking verses out of context. Hebrews 8 starts off with… Hebrews 8: 1 Now of the...

Feb 12, 2015
Published by Rob Skiba February 12, 2015 at 10:48 PM Is Galatians the ONLY book in the Christian Bible? I think not. However, to read the usual antinomian responses to just about anything pertaining to the Law of YHWH, you would think it is. I personally have no problem with the book. I love it along with all the others it AGREES with. Saw something interesting today. Did you know that Paul is not the...

Obedience to YHWH is too hard and keeping the Appointed Times is too difficult?
Published by Rob Skiba January 27, 2015 at 12:52 PM Deuteronomy 30: 1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to... read more

Published by Rob Skiba January 26, 2015 at 5:49 PM This is the 5th year for us studying the Torah and we are about 13 chapters into Exodus right now. It NEVER ceases to absolutely AMAZE me what YHWH continues to reveal through Moses! I will write more in the days ahead. For now, I just want to focus on what it means to be “wise,” because it certainly plays a major role in the Last...

The Second Exodus, the Appointed Times and what it means to be “wise”
Jan 11, 2015
Published by Rob Skiba on January 11, 2015 at 6:42 PM When I first started to understand who I am, and I began to talk and write about it, many labeled me a member of the so-called “Hebrew Roots Movement.” I have consistently distanced myself from that label however due to many things that I flat out disagree with that are being taught by some of the more prominent leaders within that now so...

A New and IMPROVED “Great Awakening” is taking place
Jan 6, 2015
Published by Rob Skiba January 3, 2015 at 2:51 PM People ask me all the time, “Well if you claim to be Torah observant do you keep ALL 613 commandments in it?” This is of course usually done in a smug effort to try and trip me up and eventually label me either a liar, hypocrite, heretic or worse. I can almost guarantee that nearly everyone who hurls that accusatory question has never...

“Church Fathers” and the Closing Words of Scripture
Published by Rob Skiba December 30, 2014 at 5:47 AM People love to quote the “early Church Fathers” all the time. Unfortunately, the ones they are choosing to quote are really more like “early Church Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren” and even rebellious step children. The true “early Church Fathers” are the authors of the New Testament! Yes, they... read more

Divisive or United?
Published by Rob Skiba December 27, 2014 at 2:51 PM Luke 12: 51 “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law... read more

Published by Rob Skiba December 16, 2014 at 2:48 PM Oh how interesting it gets whenever we talk about actually obeying YHWH with Christians. It still astounds me that there should even be a debate as to whether or not obeying YHWH is something we should be doing. Yet, time and time again, we find that it is a hotly contested debate. And within this debate, everyone and their dog wants to throw down Paul...

The Aleph Bet of Lamentations 2
Published by Rob Skiba September 25, 2014 at 1:41 AM This is crazy cool! And sort of freaky… So I was doing a key-word search on the phrase “apply of the eye” and found that in the book of Lamentations, chapter 2, the Hebrew is structured such that each first letter of every sentence represents the sequence of the Hebrew alphabet. Check it out… אֵיכָה֩ יָעִ֨יב בְּאַפֹּ֤ו ׀ אֲדֹנָי֙... read more

Twisting and Distorting My “Twisting and Distorting” Note on Col. 2
Jun 29, 2014
Published by Rob Skiba June 29, 2014 at 9:47 PM So, I was just thinking… or should I say, wondering: Is it just a coincidence that the last prophetic writer of the Old Testament and the last apostolic writer of the New Testament were telling us the same thing? Malachi 3: 6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. 7a From the...
