A Taste of Hebrew – with Dr. Walter Oakley
New shows available on ARBA4 every Monday.
Program #4- AMEN
We start with a new word to add to our vocabulary, Amen. This word is used in many languages un-translated. What all does the Hebrew word “Aman” mean?
In this lesson we begin to explore the depths of Aman.
The Law nailed to the Cross?
If the Believer is to live a Torah observant lifestyle what was nailed to the cross? (Col 2:13-17) Some translations suggest that the Torah (Law) has been nailed to the Cross.
The following translation is the Phillips translation of the Biblical text.
He has forgiven you all your sins: Christ has utterly wiped out the damning evidence of broken laws and commandments which always hung over our heads, and has completely annulled it by nailing it over his own head on the cross.
We discuss the language of this text and explore the use of the Greek words δομα, (dogma) κρινω (krino) and νομος (nomos.)
We also discuss this passage as well as the wall that was broken down in Shaul’s letter to the Ephesians. (Eph 2:11-16ff)
Yeshua, The Gentile and the Torah
This program continues the conversation initiated in our last class (Jerusalem to Athens #8). We discuss Matthew 5:17-19 and relative passages. Likewise, we look at some of the Prophetic aspects of Zecheriah 8:23 and related passages.
Yeshua and His Perspective of the Torah
Did Yeshua abrogate the Torah?
We open our discussion with Shemot (Exodus)12:14
We continue with the discussion of the Festival of Pesach and its relevance for this day and age.
We read Shaul (Paul)1 Cor 5:7-8
We continue reading Shemot 30:8 and other relevant scriptures
Then we move to Matthew 5:17-18 where we discuss the two occurrences of the word “fulfill” as found in the text.

Midrashim – with Dr. Walter Oakley
Program #23 – A Gentile Question Part 2
“A Gentile Question.” What does the Gentile have to do to inherit the olam haba?
I pick up where we left off with the Pirke Avot (Pirke Avot 1:10-12) and the Talmud (Yoma 71b).
I discuss the Maxim of Hillel purported in Avot 1:12 “Be the Disciple of Aaron, Love peace and Draw your students near to the Torah.”
I begin to explore the gentile ancestry of Shemayah and Avyalyon. I discuss the Elisha and Gehazi his servant (talmid) in relationship to Naaman. Follow the following link to read what the Jewish Encyclopedia has to say about Naaman. (Naaman)
I discuss the level of the Gentile in relation to conversion and associated phrases such as Ger toshav, Ger Tzaddik, Talmidim and talmid.
I elaborate on the saying from the Talmud attributed to Shemayah and Avyalyon “concerning entering in peace.”
Legalism Continued
I continue my discussion of Legalism.
We look at the differences between the varied schools of thought in the First Century. We explore Acts 10-15 and then ask the question what did Yeshua teach with regards to the Gentile question?
We discuss Cornelius and the G-d-fearers and Acts 10:28.
We conclude with the various definitions of Legalism.
