Keeping Passover

The following represents my understanding of how/when to eat Passover as a Believer in Yeshua, still in the Diaspora. I reserve the right to be wrong. So please do your own research, and prayerful study of Scripture in order to form your own convictions.   A few things to note starting off:   1) Passover is to be done FOR EVER. This is repeatedly stated in the Torah. Seeing as YHWH Himself gave... read more

Yeshua is the Messiah

In recent years, I have seen a massive increase in anti-Yeshua rhetoric on my Facebook page – usually from Torah folks who now deny the Savior they once believed in as a result of listening to the likes of Tovia Singer (among others). They did a pendulum swing from once believing to now disbelieving and they are now just as passionate in their disbelief as they once were in their former, firm... read more

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

!START HERE!

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... read more

It is divided up into the Short Version and the Long Version.     The Short Version: The following represents a high-level, general overview of my thoughts and beliefs on commonly challenged topics.  The first thing people need to... read more

Lunar or Weekly Sabbath?

http://www.educatetruth.com/featured/the-origin-of-the-sabbath-and-weekly-cycle/·THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2015 When is the Sabbath? I know this is a debate currently raging in some circles. Is the Sabbath based on the moon or has it always been about the consistent seventh day of the week? Well, consider the fact that “Saturday” is… Shabbat in Hebrew Sávvato in Greek yawm alssabt in Arabic... read more

It’s so simple a child could get it…

Published by Rob Skiba Sunday, October 11, 2015 Mark 12… 28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and... read more

The Day of Atonement

Published by Rob Skiba September 23, 2015 at 3:07 AM The Day of Atonement: Leviticus 23: 26 The LORD spoke to Moses, 27 “However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It’s a sacred assembly for you. Humble {afflict} yourselves and bring an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 You are not to do any work that same day. It’s the Day of Atonement, because your atonement is made in... read more

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

The KJV, Jesus, and Yeshua

Published by Rob Skiba May 20, 2015 at 2:54 PM Every now and then the Jesus vs Yeshua debate rears its ugly head on my wall. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I DO believe there is power in the name of Jesus. I got saved in that name. I have personally been and have seen other people healed, set free and delivered in that name. I’ve even cast out demons in that name.... read more

Enough With the 613 Already!

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.... read more

Did the “Early Church Fathers” Keep the Feasts?

Published by Rob Skiba April 5, 2015 at 2:07 PM Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the Resurrection Day of our Savior. Please note that neither He, nor any of His disciples ate ham either. Just some “food for thought.” Likewise, please consider what Eusebius wrote. Eusebius was a Roman historian and Christian apologist who lived sometime between 260 and 340AD. He is generally... read more

Unleavened Bread and the Second Passover

Published by Rob Skiba April 4, 2015 at 9:55 PM It takes all of about 30 minutes of intentional research to prove that Christmas, Good Friday and Easter really have nothing whatsover to do with our Savior’s birth, death and resurrection. They are like Twinkies. As kids, we enjoyed eating them. But they have no nutritional value… and yet, they can still stay in us for a long time after eating... read more

The IDF, Leviticus 26 and What It Means To “Support Israel”

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... read more

Circumcision, Salvation and the Feasts

Published by Rob Skiba March 9, 2015 at 1:40 PM My thoughts on the issues of circumcision, salvation and the Feasts. I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m merely stating what I believe based on my studies on these topics. Take it or leave it. More and more people are realizing the it’s time to ditch the pagan celebrations of X-mess and Ishtar day and get back to the actual HOLYdays of... read more

A Message From Paul

Published by Rob Skiba March 7, 2015 at 2:35 PM Ephesians 5: 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU WITH VAIN WORDS: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of DISOBEDIENCE. 7 Be NOT ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were... read more

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

Finding Fault With Perfection… Or With Translation?

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... read more

Oh Foolish Galatians!

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... read more

Can’t be done? Says who?

    Published by Rob Skiba February 12, 2015 at 9:34 PM     Moses said: Deuteronomy 30: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 11 For this commandment which I command... read more

The Need for Grace and the Law

Published by Rob Skiba February 11, 2015 at 1:59 PM I posted the following to my wall as simply status posts, but these things get buried there rather quickly, so I am putting them into a Note so that I can find them again. 🙂 I also added a bit more to it though… ====================================================== Some people wonder why I talk about the Law so much. With the world, I don’t... read more

Should Christians Still Keep The Sabbaths and the Feasts?

Published by Rob Skiba January 28, 2015 at 2:19 PM OK. This particular blog is LOADED with information for you to consider. Please take the time to review everything listed here before being tempted to criticize and/or ask questions that may have already been addressed. I’m not going to have time to engage in any lengthy debate or really a whole lot of dialogue. I’ve got a LOT on my plate... read more

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

The Second Exodus, the Appointed Times and what it means to be “wise”

  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... read more

A “different Jesus” an offended Apostle and a “thorn in the flesh”

    Published by Rob Skiba January 15, 2015 at 4:55 PM So, I saw this pic in my news feed this morning:     It really got me thinking. Wow! Indeed, we have had a “different Jesus” (Yeshua) being preached to us for a very long time! I decided to look up that passage in 2 Corinthians 11 and was reminded of a study I had done back in 2003, which revealed what Paul’s... read more
