The study of the Bible in its historical context - with a focus on the archaeology, history, geography, customs , culture, and even the languages of the ancient Middle East. WE ask what did they understand THEN - the original intent of the Lord - so that we can expand and enrich our understanding NOW and thus become true disciples of Adonai Yeshua as in John 8:31-32.

Did you know that there is no prohibition in the Old Testament or New Testament against abortion or premarital sex? In the Old Testament there is NO law against abortion. There is no statement that sex before marriage is a sin. Yet, as followers of Jesus, as Christians, and His disciples, we all agree that abortion is murder, a terrible sin, and premarital sex is immoral and a sin. Even Josephus in his work Apion says that abortion is murder. Huh? Where does that come from? Where does God in His written word directly come against abortion and premarital sex?
When we put the word of Adonai into its historical context, back into the days of Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and then into the days of Jesus and the early church, there seems to be an answer that we miss. God does seem to state quite clearly to the Hebrews just out of Egypt and later to the Hebrews in the Promised Land, Canaan, and then to the Jewish people in the 2nd Temple period (500 B.C. to 70 A.D.) that abortion and premarital sex is an abomination to the Lord. This podcast suggests an alternative view based upon the historical context and the Jewish culture.
However, once we see that this is a real likelihood we also see that God seems to be teaching about something broader and more extensive then just a focus on abortion and sex outside of marriage. What He teaches relates to the days we live in now. God seems to emphasize we are to be a special observable peculiar people - distinctly different.
