Studies on the Epistle of Hebrews

By Boaz Michael | Comments (0) | Posted on October 3, 2005

Recent teaching by a prominent Hebrew Roots teacher has brought questions to the authenticity of this critically important epistle. Hebrews is completely pro-Torah and uplifts Messiah, its role within the canon of Scripture is vital as it addresses our faith and the outworking of our faith from a post-temple perspective. It is unfortunate that some have gone beyond questioning some of the difficult passages and have decided to essentially disregard this book as Scripture.

In addressing these issues FFOZ has created a position paper that specifically addresses the issues raised by Monte Judah. The paper is entitled, Answering the Questions Regarding the Epistle of Hebrews, A Response to Monte Judah's Questions of Canonicity.

I would like to encourage you as a follower of our Master and His Word that if you have heard various teachings regarding the book of Hebrews and have any confusion, to please take time to search the matter out through prayer and diligent study. In order to bring healing and correction FFOZ has created a teaching package on Hebrews that we are making available for FREE with the intent to bring clarity to this vital issue. In this package, you will find an 18 part series (10 CD's) on the book of Hebrews taught by Daniel Lancaster. This insightful study provides a backdrop for understanding the book of Hebrews from its original historical context of pro-Torah, Biblical Judaism. We have also included What's So New about the New Covenant? by Tim Hegg on DVD. This comprehensive study works through passages in the book of Hebrews and presents an accurate depiction of the New Covenant from a Hebraic Torah perspective. Also included are selected commentaries on Hebrews from our Torah Club v.5 material.

To request this additional material regarding the book of Hebrews, please send your inquiry to our Community Liaison Office using this contact form.

It is our hope that these resources will benefit your studies, and expand your understanding of the Biblical text. If this issue has adversely affected your family, or if you are facing confusion or doubt, please be encouraged that many servants of the Master are uplifting you in prayer during this time.

"we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:9-14

I would like to emphasize to you that the Epistle of Hebrews is indeed an accurate text that is trustworthy as the entire canon is indeed inerrant, infallible, and the Word of God. We may need to be diligent to research the underlying original languages beyond our English translations, but any passages which are seemingly difficult can in fact be decoded and understand through research and study.
