Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity!
Stephanie Pavlantos hosts Max Bonilla of Ultra Truth Ministry to discuss his coming to Messianic belief at age 14 through Bible study and concern over moral decline. They argue many church problems, including abuse and lax morality, stem from departing from God’s law and treating Jesus as having abrogated the Torah. Bonilla contends Paul is misunderstood and must be read in first-century context alongside Acts and the Gospels, addressing claims that Paul taught against Torah. They discuss caring for the poor, women in congregations, and how “neurodivergent” traits may correlate with deep Torah-focused study. Bonilla advises testing extra-biblical texts against Torah, critiques rabbinic traditions like the Zohar’s authority, explains wedding-feast/outer-darkness imagery as judgment by deeds, and outlines a Torah-based calendar using moon and agriculture rather than equinox calculations.
