Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity!
Host Stephanie Pavlantos welcomes guest Jen Dubey to discuss key takeaways from their January–April Romans class and common misunderstandings of Paul. They emphasize reading Romans with historical, Jewish, and Hebraic context, arguing Paul remained a Torah-observant Jew and did not renounce the Law of Moses, citing Acts and Romans passages and explaining Paul’s use of a “straw man” argument. They contrast “grace and Torah” rather than “grace versus Torah,” noting gospel and grace precede the New Testament and connect to reconciliation and covenant life. They define legalism as transactional, self-centered “compensatory observance,” distinct from relational covenantal obedience motivated by love and gratitude. They address confusion over “law,” added traditions, deconstruction trends, humility in the Torah movement, and salvation as ongoing trust/allegiance rather than a one-time prayer, encouraging viewers to study Romans deeply and consult their recorded teachings.
