The Biblical Roots Podcast

Prof. R. L. Solberg

This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.

The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:

1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.

2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

What Is the Feast of Trumpets? Yom Teruah Explained
Send us Fan Mail What is the Feast of Trumpets, and what does it mean for Christians today? In this biblical primer, Dr. R. L. Solberg explores Yom Teruah from its origins in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29 through its later development into Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Discover what the Torah commands, why the day became associated with the shofar, how it is celebrated in Judaism today, and how its themes point Christians to Jesus, the resurrection, and the Second Coming. We’ll also examine claims connecting the Feast of Trumpets with the rapture and consider whether—and how—Christians might commemorate Yom Teruah today.

Did We Get the Church Wrong? Testing First Fruits of Zion
Send us Fan Mail Did the modern Christian church get ecclesiology wrong? First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ) argues that our modern concept of the church does not accurately reflect the biblical *ekklesia*. Instead, they propose what they call a“proleptic radial ecclesiology”—a Messiah-centered, Jewish-centered model in which priests and Levites, Israel, and the Gentile nations occupy distinct positions within the people of God. Dr. R. L. Solberg examines FFOZ’s proposed ecclesiology and tests it against Scripture. What does the New Testament actually teach about the structure of the church? Did the apostles organize Jewish and Gentile believers according to the pattern given to Israel under the Sinai covenant? What happened to the Old Testament system of proximity to God’s holiness under the New Covenant? And does FFOZ’s model risk rebuilding distinctions between Jews and Gentiles that Christ tore down? We’ll first examine FFOZ’s position on its own terms and make sure we understand it accurately. Then we’ll compare that framework with the ecclesiology established by Jesus and the apostles, including the New Testament teaching on **elders, overseers, deacons, the priesthood of believers, Jew and Gentile, the “one new man,” and our direct access to God through Christ**. This is not an argument that everything taught by First Fruits of Zion is false. Rather, it is an examination of a foundational theological framework that can influence how Christians understand **Israel, the Church, Torah, the New Covenant, and the relationship between Jewish and Gentile believers**.

What I Learned from My Debate on Acts 15 with David Wilber
Send us Fan Mail What really happened in Dr. Solberg's debate with David Wilber on Acts 15? More importantly, what can we learn from it? In this follow-up video, Dr. Solberg slows the conversation down to examine the four larger hermeneutical lessons that emerged. Whether you agreed with his position or David's position (or are still undecided), the goal of this video is to help us become better readers of Scripture. This video tackles the question: How should Christians read the Bible? Topics include: Acts 15:21 and the Jerusalem Council The difference between exegesis and eisegesis The proper role of biblical scholarship and the Church Fathers Why Scripture should interpret Scripture The importance of a Christ-centered hermeneutic Does the New Testament teach that Gentile believers were expected to become Torah observant?

Live Debate on Acts 15 and the Law of Moses (Dr. Solberg and Wilber)
Send us Fan Mail Dr. R. L. Solberg and David Wilber debated Acts 15 and one of the most important questions in Christian theology: Did the apostle's decision at the Jerusalem Council require Gentile believers to keep the Law of Moses? Wilber argues in the affirmative, Solberg in the negative. Both participants present their cases in a semi-formal and civil debate format. The goal isn't to "score points" but to help believers understand Acts 15 by hearing both sides presented fairly.

Discipleship Defined by Scripture
Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this conversation, Mike Edwards interviews Dr. R. L. Solberg about the biblical definition of discipleship, exploring what it means to follow Christ, deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and make disciples. Together they discuss key passages such as Matthew 28, Luke 9, and John 15, while examining how Scripture—not tradition or personal opinion—defines the Christian life. #livestream #christianliving #discipleship #jesus #apologetics The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Acts 15 in Context: Testing 119 Ministries
Send us Fan Mail Did the Jerusalem Council teach that Gentile Christians must keep the Torah? In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg examines Acts 15 in context and responds to the interpretation presented by 119 Ministries. We carefully compare their claims with the biblical text and ask a simple but important question: Where does the text actually say that? Together we'll examine three major claims about Acts 15, including whether the Jerusalem Council addressed one issue or two, whether the four prohibitions were intended as a "starter pack" for full Torah observance, and whether Gentile believers were expected to learn the Law of Moses through weekly synagogue attendance. If you're interested in the Hebrew Roots Movement, Torah observance, the Jerusalem Council, or how to interpret Acts 15 faithfully and in its historical context, this study is for you. 119 Ministries' Video: https://119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/acts-15-explained-did-the-apostles-reject-the-torah-for-gentiles/ The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Did God Divorce Israel? A Biblical Examination of Remarriage Theology
Send us Fan Mail What if the gospel wasn't about something new, but about restoring something ancient? In this teaching, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines the claims of Divorce & Remarriage Theology by testing them against Scripture. Does the Bible really teach that God married Israel at Sinai, divorced His bride, died to overcome a legal dilemma, and then remarried Israel? Or has an extra-biblical framework been imposed on the biblical text? Join us as we examine the evidence and ask one simple diagnostic question: Did the biblical authors actually teach this?

Are There Contradictions in the Bible?
Send us Fan Mail Critics often claim that Scripture is full of errors, conflicting accounts, and impossible statements. In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg examines some of the most common alleged contradictions and explains why many of them turn out to be questions of context, language, perspective, chronology, or textual transmission rather than genuine logical contradictions. We explore the Resurrection accounts, Paul and James on faith and works, Old Testament passages that speak of things lasting "forever," apparent contradictions about seeing God, God's unchanging nature, numerical discrepancies, and more. Along the way, we learn an important principle: a true contradiction exists only when something is affirmed and denied in the same sense, at the same time, and in the same respect. Whether you're wrestling with difficult passages yourself or responding to challenges from skeptics, this video will help you think more carefully about what the Bible actually says and how Christians have approached these questions for centuries.

Dr. Solberg on the Thinking Cup Podcast hosted by Mike Colburn
Send us Fan Mail Are Christians required to keep the Law of Moses? Is the seventh-day Sabbath still binding under the New Covenant, or was it fulfilled in Christ? In this conversation, host Mike Colburn sits down with Dr. R. L. Solberg, author of Torahism and founder of The Biblical Roots Ministries, to work through the questions his audience asks him about most: the law, the Sabbath, the New Covenant, and what changed when Jesus said, "It is finished." Dr. Solberg has spent years answering the Hebrew Roots, Torah-keeping, and Messianic movements. Those arguments turn out to be the mirror image of what so many of us inherited in Adventism. If you've ever been told that "sin is the transgression of the law," that the Ten Commandments are what's written on our hearts, or that keeping the Sabbath is a test of loyalty to God, this one is for you. #apologetics #sda #theology #hebrewroots The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

The Real Reason God Banned Pork
Send us Fan Mail A popular claim these days is that God prohibited pork, shellfish, and other animals because they're unhealthy, unclean scavengers, or dangerous for human consumption. But is that actually what the Bible says? In this video, Dr. Solberg examines a viral claim that the dietary laws of Leviticus 11 were given for health reasons and test that idea against Scripture itself. He looks at the biblical meaning of "clean" and "unclean," explores the Hebrew concepts of ritual purity, and examines the reason God explicitly gives for Israel's food laws. Were the dietary restrictions primarily about nutrition? Were they intended for all humanity? Why were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Noah allowed to eat foods that would later be restricted under the Mosaic Covenant? And what does the Torah itself say about the purpose of these commandments? Rather than relying on modern Hebrew Roots and other Torah-observant movement theories, let's go directly to the biblical text and let Scripture speak for itself. Topics covered: • Leviticus 11 and the prohibition of pork • The Hebrew words ṭāhôr (clean) and ṭāmēʾ (unclean) • Ritual purity versus health regulations • Why Israel's dietary laws were given • Leviticus 20:25–26 and being "set apart" • Genesis 9 and the pre-Sinai diet • Common misconceptions about biblical food laws • Hebrew Roots claims examined in light of Scripture The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Is the Trinity a Man-made Doctrine? Testing Tom Bradford
Send us Fan Mail In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines Tom Bradford's teaching on the Trinity and compares it to the teaching of Scripture. Bradford argues that the traditional doctrine of the Trinity developed later in church history and does not accurately reflect the biblical picture of God. But is that claim supported by the Bible? We'll examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments, explore what Christians have historically meant by the doctrine of the Trinity, and test Bradford's claims against the biblical text itself. Along the way, we'll discuss the deity of Christ, the eternal Sonship of Jesus, the incarnation, adoptionism, modalism, and why precise theological language matters. This study is not about attacking people. It's about following the Berean principle of testing every teaching against Scripture.

Jesus Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13 (Part 18)
Send us Fan Mail In this final chapter of Hebrews, Dr. R. L. Solberg walks verse-by-verse through Hebrews 13, unpacking the book’s closing exhortations about Christian love, hospitality, persecution, contentment, spiritual leadership, and enduring faith in Jesus Christ. This in-depth Bible study explores the famous “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” passage, the meaning of going “outside the camp,” the superiority of Christ over the old covenant system, and the powerful closing benediction centered on the blood of the eternal covenant. This study also examines key themes running throughout the entire Book of Hebrews, including the New Covenant, the finished work of Christ, the priesthood of Jesus, perseverance in faith, and why believers are called to hold fast to the Gospel rather than return to the old covenant shadows fulfilled in Christ. Ideal for Christians studying Hebrews, New Covenant theology, the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, and the sufficiency of Jesus’ sacrifice. 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Hebrews 13:1–6 (Let Love Continue) 17:28 Hebrews 13:7–17 (A Final Warning) 50:58 Hebrews 13:20–25 -(Benediction and Final Greetings) #biblestudy #hebrews13 #versebyverse The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Christians and the Law—Dr. Solberg Interviewed by Dr. Douglas Hamp
Send us Fan Mail Are Christians still under God’s law… or has something changed? A Livestream from Douglas Hamp Ministries In this conversation, Dr. Robert L. Solberg and Dr. Douglas Hamp tackle one of the most debated questions in the Church today: How should Christians relate to the law—without falling into legalism or losing it altogether? Some believe the law has been fulfilled and is no longer applicable. Others argue that God’s instructions still matter and were never meant to be discarded. But what did Jesus actually teach? And how do we understand passages like Romans 10:4 and Matthew 5 in context? This isn’t about winning an argument—it’s about seeking clarity. In this episode, we explore: God's New Covenant The Relationship between Israel and the Church Why sincere Christians come to very different conclusions Our goal is simple: to pursue truth with humility and keep the conversation honest, respectful, and grounded in Scripture.

Debate on Matt 5:17–20 — Prof. R. L. Solberg vs. Pastor Matthew Janzen
Send us Fan Mail Enjoy this orderly yet passionate debate on the resolution: "Does Matthew 5:17-20 Teach that Christians Ought to Obey the Law of Moses?" Pastor Matthew Janzen argues in the affirmative, and Prof. R. L. Solberg argues in the negative. Both are followers of Jesus (Yeshua) who affirm the authority of the entire Bible—the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament (Brit Chadasha). Yet they take very different views of this critical passage from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. What did Jesus really mean when He said He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it? “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Will There Be a Third Temple?
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we take a step back from typical prophetic speculations and eschatological positions and ask a deeper question: Does a third temple fit the theology of the New Testament? Our journey begins by entering the first-century world of Jesus and His disciples, where the temple stood at the very center of Jewish life and covenant faithfulness. From there, we trace how the New Testament interprets the destruction of that temple—and what it means that Jesus called Himself greater than the temple (Matt 12:6), identified His body as the true temple (John 2:19–21), and redirected worship away from Jerusalem to “spirit and truth” (John 4:21–24). We reason from a Christ-centered hermeneutic: letting the New Testament govern how we read Old Testament temple prophecies. Along the way, we consider why early Christians never attempted to reconstruct a temple-centered faith, and why the apostles consistently anchor our hope in Christ’s finished work and the new creation, not in a restored sacrificial system (Eph 1:21; Rev 11:15). If you’ve only ever heard the third temple discussed in terms of end-times timelines, this approach may challenge you to rethink the question from a covenantal and theological perspective. 3D Temple Walkthrough Video Clips: Herod's Temple 3D - Ancient Jerusalem in UNREAL ENGINE 5 © 2025 Scripture Central and Messages of Christ YouTube Channel The Biblical Roots Ministries Our website Our YouTube Channel Prof. Solberg's Blog Support our Ministry (Thank you!)

Understanding Hebrew Roots: 5 Steps from Curiosity to Captivity
Send us Fan Mail What begins as a sincere desire to understand the Jewish roots of the Christian faith can, in some cases, drift into something far more complicated. In this video, we explore the progression many believers experience as curiosity about the Torah slowly shifts from healthy study to imposed obligation. By tracing common stages within Torahism (aka Hebrew Roots Movement, Torah-keeping, Torah-observant Christianity) we examine why this trajectory can lead to confusion, division, and a displacement of the gospel. The video also offers practical guidance for thoughtfully and graciously engaging friends or family members who have embraced Torah observance, with an emphasis on patience, discernment, and keeping Christ at the center.
