Does Acts 15 Actually Support Hebrew Roots? | Wilber vs. Solberg Debate (Messianic Jewish Response)

<p>David Wilber and R.L. Solberg recently debated whether Acts 15 requires Gentiles to be Torah observant. They both agreed that the four prohibitions come from Leviticus 17-18. In this episode, I demonstrate that Wilber&#39;s Hebrew Roots argument is weak and unfounded in Acts 15 and that they mistakenly claim that all four prohibitions are commandments taken from Leviticus 17-18. I also offer a more plausible way of understanding the four prohibitions and what James meant when he said &quot;For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.&quot; Enjoy!</p><p>To donate in support of us combating Hebrew Roots, you can click this link, <a href="https://www.twomessianicjews.com/donate" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.twomessianicjews.com/donate</a> Thank you for the support! </p><p>00:00 - Intro and goals of the video</p><p>01:23 - David Wilber&#39;s Position and Core Argument</p><p>03:54 - Wilber&#39;s strange caveat</p><p>08:15 - Critiquing Wilber&#39;s Key Claims about the Four Prohibitions</p><p>29:50 - Critiquing Wilber&#39;s Interpretation of Acts 15:21</p><p>37:27 - My hypothesis about the Four Prohibitions</p><p>1:01:30 - My hypothesis about Acts 15:21 </p><p>1:03:13 - What about progressive teachers like Matthew Vines?</p><p>Link to their Acts 15 debate: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVdfMV92alM" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVdfMV92alM</a></p><p>Link to Wilber&#39;s video where he says Gentiles ought to do &quot;basically all the same commandments&quot; as native born Israelites: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4ls3e5fL-c" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4ls3e5fL-c</a></p><p>Bibliography:</p><p>Ben Witherington, “NOT SO IDLE THOUGHTS ABOUT EIDOLOTHUTON”; The Acts of the Apostles: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary</p><p>S.G.
