Have We Left the Church?

In this single lecture, Caleb Hegg looks at the current Torah movement and asks if this movement is separate from the evangelical Church, or if it is simply an extension. Many within the Messianic and Hebrew Roots movement want to disassociate from the modern Christian Church, but what does this mean? Hegg addresses six questions that are often presented by some in the Torah movement.

1) What is the “Church?”

2) Are Christians saved?

3) If Christians are saved, shouldn’t the fruit of their faith be keeping Torah?

4) If God has sustained the Church for this long, doesn’t that mean the Torah doesn’t matter?

5) If my friends are saved, why should I be different and keep the Torah?

6) Have we as Torah keepers left the Church?
