“Believers need to be studying Scripture, learning of the customs and traditions of the ancient Hebrews. Studying idioms of the Jews. We need to learn how-to interpret the Bible and that can only happen when we understand ancient Jewish culture, customs, language, and times in which Jesus lived”. – TJ Smith
“Not everyone is inclined to work on their Biblical acumen, sadly, most Christians simply do not care if they truly understand Scripture”. – Tj Smith
“Yeshua accomplished everything He said He would; we rule and reign with Christ as ambassadors on earth; God dwells with us; He is our God and we are His people; He is the Tree of Life and we are the ‘leaves’ used for the healing of the nations. His righteousness dwells on earth, through us, since we are now the righteousness of God exhibited through love and grace”.
“As much as most of the American Church has diminished and stripped Christ of His Deity and complete character, they cannot rape Scripture of the reality of Yeshua’s full nature”. – TJ Smith, Understanding the Bible For Average Christians Vol. 2
“R.C. Sproul and N.T. Wright are two of the most brilliant scholars of our time, but both men should embrace Full Covenant Theology (Full Preterism) to understand eschatology and its relationship go the parables”. – Tj Smith, Kingdom Come
In his commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:8 in the Fulfilled Covenant Bible, Tj Smith writes – “to be absent from the Old Covenant is to finally be present with the Lord, or to be free from your earthly body is to be withTj Smith Christ. Either way, the concept of the fleshly body being used at some point in the future to ‘clothe’ us does not stand the scrutiny of Scripture”.
“Life application in our culture has become equivalent to the Allegorical Method of the 2nd-4th centuries, where the true meaning of Scripture is traded for some cheapened, perceived deeper, hidden meaning…Instead of studying to fully understand the depths of God’s redemptive plan, Christians feast on feel-good messages that dull the Spirit and lullaby their souls to sleep, rendering them ineffectual for the Kingdom”. – Tj Smith
“In the Hebrew mindset, the “harvest” was not always the glorious ‘golden – sunrise, wind-blown’ event Western Christians have viewed through rose colored glasses. When the Hebrews spoke of ‘harvest’, they typically understood it as judgement.” – TJ Smith
