Description
Yom Terurra & Shabbat Will Start In About an Hour In The Pacific Nothrthwest USA. This Video will go live before Shabbat Starts.
Jews for Jesus stopped conducting commerce at Café BaSimta on Shabbat after weeks of protests and counter-protests in Jerusalem. Tovia Singer then asked a question Christians and Messianic believers must answer: If Exodus 20 declares the seventh day holy, why did Jews for Jesus not cite it when explaining the decision? AND If God made the seventh day holy, why not keep it simply because we love Him?
This is my direct answer as a Torah-observant follower of Yeshua. I agree that Yeshua did not abolish Torah and that no verse moves Shabbat to Sunday. I examine the Café BaSimta timeline; public statements by Eli Birnbaum and Jews for Jesus; what leadership may have known; whether Jerusalem was an isolated exception; how Protestant doctrine, donor pressure, protestant persecution, and social costs may explain the response; why an unlisted video raises questions but proves no cover-up; and the separate secular/atheist coffee cart removed by inspectors.
This video is my answer to Tovia Singer as a Torah-observant follower of Yeshua. I agree that Christians should keep the seventh-day Shabbat because God made it holy. I disagree that faith in Yeshua requires rejecting Torah or that Protestant anti-Torah theology is the correct interpretation of the New Covenant. The disciples were Jews, we must interpret the new covenant as Jews not protestants or catholics.
The presentation also remembers September 11 and examines Charlie Kirk’s public Friday-night-to-Saturday-night Sabbath practice and his book, Stop, in the Name of God. https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB
Tovia Singer, you asked Christians to obey Shabbat because they love God. I invite you to speak with Me and fight for our human rights that have been denied.
