About

This site is the result of many years of bib­li­cal studies.

Hav­ing mas­tered evan­gel­i­cal the­ol­ogy and hav­ing debated with many Jews and Chris­tians, years ago I realised that tra­di­tional Chris­t­ian the­o­log­i­cal ideas had huge dif­fi­cul­ties. They sim­ply did not har­monise with the ideas pre­sented in the TaNaKH (the term cre­ated from the Hebrew names of the “Law”, “Prophets” and “Writ­ings” — incor­rectly called “Old Testament”).

We have heard many times the say­ing con­cern­ing the Old and New Tes­ta­ments that “In the Old the New is revealed, in the New the Old is explained”. This means it is impos­si­ble to under­stand the Tanakh cor­rectly with­out first learn­ing the NT, for the NT explains the Tanakh. Well, my view is that those who came up with this idea got it all wrong.

The very first dis­ci­ples of Jesus had only the Tanakh to work from as scrip­tures. There was no NT for a long time, and the first writ­ings didn’t appear for over a decade after the death and res­ur­rec­tion of Jesus. Thus, the early Chris­tians worked from the Tanakh, noth­ing else. It was what they referred to as Scrip­tures. All terms used in the NT were already defined in it, and I see no attempt to rede­fine them in the NT. There­fore, if any­thing con­tra­dicts the Tanakh, we need to be sus­pi­cious that it is the result of the­o­log­i­cal corruption.

Tra­di­tional Chris­tian­ity teaches that the Law had been abol­ished on the cross of Christ, thus, the new covenant is — sort of — with­out any laws or only have a very few laws. How­ever, when we con­sider Jeremiah’s prophecy con­cern­ing the new covenant, we find some­thing else:

Jere­miah 31:31 “Behold, the days are com­ing, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their hus­band, says the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my peo­ple. 34 And no longer shall each man teach his neigh­bor and each his brother, say­ing, ‘Know the LORD’, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the great­est, says the LORD; for I will for­give their iniq­uity, and I will remem­ber their sin no more.”

On this site I present you a new approach to bib­li­cal inter­pre­ta­tion. I take that the NT is actu­ally the ful­fill­ment of Jeremiah’s prophecy — while most Chris­t­ian the­olo­gies con­tra­dict it -, and show you what this means for those who claim to be the fol­low­ers of Jesus the Christ.
