Part 3C of Responding to Torahism: A Forensic Scriptural Defense examines whether Torah-observant followers of Yeshua are a modern invention, or whether this pattern reaches back to the first-century Nazarenes.
Robert L. Solberg and other anti-Torah teachers often argue that Torah-observant faith in Yeshua is a recent movement, not biblical Christianity. This video tests that claim from Scripture and history.
The argument is simple:
Modern labels may be new.
But Torah-observant faith in Yeshua is not new.
This video examines:
• Acts 24:5 — Paul identified with the sect of the Nazarenes
• Acts 24:14 — Paul believed all things written in the Law and the Prophets
• Matthew 5:17–19 — Yeshua did not abolish Torah
• Matthew 4:4 / Luke 4:4 — man lives by every word from Yah
• Revelation 14:12 — the saints keep the commandments of Elohim and the faith of Yeshua
• Council of Laodicea Canon 29 — anti-Sabbath condemnation as historical evidence that Sabbath-keepers still existed
• Jerome’s testimony about Nazarenes who accepted Messiah and continued Torah observance
• Epiphanius of Salamis and the fourth-century Nazarene witness
• The Pasagini as a historical marker, not a doctrinal model
• Post-Reformation Sabbatarian and Torah-oriented witnesses
• Seventh Day Baptists and later Sabbath-keeping communities
• Hebrew Christian and Messianic Jewish restoration streams
• Gnosticism and Marcionism as anti-Torah replacements
This video does not argue that every later group was doctrinally pure or identical to the first-century Nazarenes. The point is narrower and stronger:
The historical record does not support the claim that Torah-observant faith in Yeshua suddenly appeared in modern times.
The biblical standard remains final. History is useful, but Scripture is the authority. Torah obedience is not proven mainly by human succession lines. It is proven because Yeshua, Paul, Peter, John, and the apostles uphold the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua.
