These Podcasts, and Videos examine the fundamental conflict between Hebraic and Hellenistic mindsets, arguing that Western Christianity has been negatively influenced by Greek logic. While the Greek approach prioritises abstract knowledge, intellectual creed, and individual theory, the Hebraic perspective emphasises practical action, community relationships, and living out moral truths.
The texts suggest that many apparent biblical contradictions are actually “block logic” intended to be held in tension rather than solved through rigid rationalism. Furthermore, the author asserts that modern scriptural interpretations are often flawed due to mistranslations and a failure to recognise the Jewish foundations of the New Testament. Ultimately, the material calls for a paradigm shift where faith is viewed as a holistic, active obedience rather than a static set of beliefs.
To achieve this, readers are encouraged to reassess Christian doctrines by viewing them through an authentic, earthy, and relationship-centred Hebraic lens.
One of the massively mind-blowing examples of how much the message of the New Testament has been distorted over two millennia is the Wineskin parable.
A sadly but very typical take on this parable is presented in this quote from a Christian Bible ‘scholar’:
“Jesus warned against pouring new wine into old wine-skins. Attempts to domesticate the Christ of scripture by pouring the new wine of the Spirit into the old wine-skins of Second Temple Judaism are doomed to fail. If they do not burst the old skins the sweet wine of the Spirit will be turned into the vinegar of the death-dealing letter of the Law ”.
Check out this fascinating and eye-opening podcast which is just ONE example of the mess that Hellenistic Christianity has made in it’s many flawed interpretations of the NT and the resultant false doctrines!

Which then helps to lead us to appreciate why the pre-eminent scholar on the life and times of Yeshua/Jesus for the last century+, the late Prof David Flusser could argue that:
“As far as you depart from the Hebrew background of the Gospels as far as you go farther from the Jewish origin of the Gospel and of the Jewishness of Jesus by this I would even say you betray Jesus himself.”
