Understanding the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

Understanding

The Parable of Wicked Vinedressers

By James Scott Trimm

33 Hear you another parable: There was a man that was a householder: which planted a

vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower,

and delivered it to vinedressers to cultivate it, and went abroad.

34 And when the time of the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, to

receive the fruit.

35 But the vinedressers seized his… Continue

Have the Jews Rejected Yeshua?

Many have asked "Why have the Jews rejected Jesus?"… well let me make this clear, the only "Jesus" that most Jewish people have ever been exposed to is the "Jesus" that supposedly came to "free them from the bondage of the Law". Yes, they have rejected this Torahless Jesus, and rightly so. But most of them have never been exposed to the real

Yeshua.

In coming years you will see many Jewish people embracing Yeshua as the Messiah. But the Yeshua that they accept will be the real… Continue

False "Way" Seeks to Ban True Scriptures

False “Way” Seeks to Ban True Scriptures

By James Trimm

The Way International is an anti-nomian Christian sect. They are dispensationalists, heavily influenced by Bulinger. As such, like all dispensationalists, they teach that the Law (Torah) is not for Today. This particular group actually classes water baptism as a practice that was done away with in this new “age of grace”.

Among their other beliefs, they… Continue

They Blew Up Our Mailbox!!!

Well the heat is on from the enemy. Last night, a little before 2AM someone put an explosive device in our mailbox and blew it up! According to the fire marshal the device was not just an ordinary firecracker, it was not like anything he had ever seen before.

I was up late in the living room at the time. I heard a loud explosion outside, I ran outside to see our mailbox literally glowing and on fire. A car was driving off from the scene but I was unable to get a good license plate… Continue

Proof that Yeshua is the Messiah

Proof that Yeshua is the Messiah

By James Trimm

Yeshua MUST be Messiah (regardless of whether or not any other "Messianic Prophecies" are validly speaking of Yeshua)

Isaiah 29 ties the apostasy of Judah to a sealed book (29:10-12) but with the revealing of that sealed book comes an enlightenment and restoration (29:18).

Now it is very important to realize that according to Isaiah 29 our people (Judah) are in a state of general blindness/slumber until… Continue

The Great Torah Debate

On November 10th and 17th of 2004 Messianic Jews and Christians gathered together in Arlington Texas for:

The Great Torah Debate: Is the Torah for Today?

This was perhaps the first time a Nazarene/Messianic Rabbi had ever publicly debated with a Christian Pastor on this topic.

Messianic/Nazarene Rabbi James Scott Trimm of Beit Netzarim Congregation in Hurst Texas argued "Yes-- The… Continue

Christendom Seeks to Gentilize Yeshua!

Shalom Chaverim,

A major prophetic event that the Scriptures state will occur before the return of Messiah, is just about ready to occur, in fact it is happening right now!

… but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

And shall know that I am YHWH their Elohim: for I will give them a

heart, and ears to hear: And they shall praise me in the land of their

captivity, and think upon my name, And return from their stiff neck,

Saved by Water? A Look at 1Kefa 3:20-21

Saved by Water?

A Look at 1Kefa 3:20-21

by James Scott Trimm

In a recent discussion 1Kefa 3:20-21 came up. This passage is a stock "proof text"

used by the "Church of Christ" (i.e. "Cambelites" or those of the "Restoration

movement"). Those of this movement often use this verse to "prove" their doctrine

that a person cannot be saved unless they have been water baptized.

This false doctrine is rooted in the KJV wording of these… Continue

This is in the planning stages.

The intent of this seminar is to go line by line through the teachings of Paul both from the original Hebrew and Aramaic, and from the Greek version.

The Tithe of YHWH: The Cost of the Covenant Part 2

The Tithe of YHWH

The Cost of the Covenant

PART 2

A written Version of the Audio Teaching

By Jame Scott Trimm

THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS WAGE

But let us look to see what the Scriptures say about this very important matter. The prophet Malachi writes:

1 Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall clear the way before Me; and the Adon, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom you… Continue

The Tithe of YHWH: The Cost of the Covenant Part 1

The Tithe of YHWH

The Cost of the Covenant

A written Version of the Audio Teaching

By Jame Scott Trimm

So you are excited about Torah. So you are ready to say “we will hear and do”. Not so fast… there is a disclosure to be made first.

In Rabbinic Judaism Gentiles seeking conversion are discouraged. Gentiles seeking conversion are turned away three times. Then after being turned away three times it is required to make a full disclosure of the financial… Continue

Understanding Colosians 2:14

Shalom,

I wanted to share some things with you all concerning Colossians 2:14. In this passage the very popular NIV version reads:

having canceled the written code, with its regulations,

that was against us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.

(Col. 2:14 NIV)

This is a classic example of mistranslation producing an anti-nomian text. Many then interpret the “written code, with its regulations” to be the Torah, which they then say was canceled,… Continue

In Defense of Hebrews

IN DEFENSE OF HEBREWS

By James Trimm

Recently the Letter to the Hebrews has come under attack in some quarters of the Hebraic Roots movement. Among those better known Messianic leaders to question the validity of the Letter to the Hebrews is Monte Judah. The following is a response to some of the things Monte Judah has said about this very important book of the Scriptures.

THE HEBREW ORIGIN OF HEBREWS

Monte Judah starts with a completely false premise… Continue

The Bible they are trying to Ban!

When the Hebraic Roots Version was published eight years ago. It was the first Sacred Name, Messianic edition of the Scriptures to translate the “New Testament” from the original Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts rather than the Greek. It was also the first English “New Testament” to place the NT books back in the original manuscript order.

Some passages do not make sense in Greek but only make sense when we translate these passages from the original Hebrew and Aramaic. Past… Continue
