Abraham Was Not a Torah Follower: Walking by Faith

Pastor Dean Odle contrasts New Covenant faith in Jesus Christ with efforts to place Christians under the Mosaic covenant. Beginning in Romans 3 and answering an appeal to James 2, he argues that believers are justified apart from the deeds of the law, while genuine faith still produces obedient action. James’s examples of Abraham and Rahab, in his reading, describe works that respond to God’s present command—not Sabbath, feast, dietary, circumcision, or other covenant observances.

The Torah, the Trinity & the Power of the Holy Spirit

Dean Odle and Kevin Wilkerson answer Hebrew Roots and Torah-observance arguments by distinguishing the Mosaic covenant from the law of Christ. From Titus, Galatians, Romans, Hebrews, and Acts 15, they argue that justification is by grace through faith, that Jesus fulfilled the sacrificial and priestly order, and that Gentile believers were not commanded to keep the law of Moses, while the new covenant still demands holiness and freedom from habitual works of the flesh.

The Schoolmaster, The Bondwoman & The Dead Husband

Dean Odle argues that New Covenant believers are justified by faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the Mosaic law. Through Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, Acts 15, and three governing images—the schoolmaster, bondwoman, and dead husband—he opposes Torah-observant teaching that makes Sabbaths, feasts, circumcision, or dietary rules measures of righteousness.

Ephraim Awakening or Apostasy - Torah Observance vs. the Law of Christ

Pastor Dean Odle evaluates the so-called Ephraim awakening and argues that much of the modern Hebrew Roots or Torah-observant movement is apostasy rather than biblical restoration. He examines identity claims connecting Gentile Christians with the lost tribes of Israel, then asks whether the New Testament directs believers to Sinai or to the law of Christ. His controlling concern is that covenant identity and Mosaic practice not replace repentance, faith, and union with Jesus Christ.

Antarctica in the Bible

In “Antarctica in the Bible,” Pastor Dean Odle argues from his biblical-cosmology perspective that Antarctica is not a continent beneath a globe but the outer boundary of an enclosed, circular earth. He begins with the gospel and the deity of Christ, insisting that creation study must lead to the Creator. Acts 17, Job 26 and 38, Psalms 65 and 74, and the temple’s molten sea form the sermon’s principal biblical framework for bounds, ends, waters, mountains, winds, snow, and hail.
