Examining the claims of Lex Meyer, Hebrew Roots teacher

Hebrew Roots teacher Lex Meyer offers a pretty solid teaching about Gnosticism and Marcion in one of his videos. But then, in the middle of the teaching, he throws in a couple surprising claims. One about the Lord’s Prayer, the other about Jesus and the Law. Let's examine them.

Hey brother, I appreciate your critique and feedback about my video. I actually agree with much of what you said. That was an old video, and I have changed my view on some of those things since then. So, I think I should probably take that video down and make an updated version of it. I really do appreciate your critique. Blessings to you brother.

Thank you so much. I came out of the Hebrew Roots movement on December 23rd, 2021. When after walking with Christ since a young woman I was yet deceived. I have begun to mister to women in the movement and to those being tempted by it’s subtle beauty and false light. I greatly appreciate the work God is doing in you not only to defend the Gospel but also equip those of us with few resources to turn to as we minister to those around us falling prey to this belief system. It is rapidly growing in Oklahoma (and I’m sure many other states).

As a former Torah observer, I can attest, Lex Meyers is a good guy. Hopefully he returns to the truth someday.

[Topseeykretts]

I am exceedingly happy to have found this channel. I ordered your book. Can't wait to read! Glory to God for He is good!

The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism by Ken Wilson is an excellent resource about Gnosticism's influence on Christianity.

Hebrews 10:26-31

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

HRM is sowing Tares in the body of Christ and should be avoided! How dare them criticize the prayer 🙏🏻 our Lord gave us!!

[Flagrum]

I agree mostly, but as a cradle Catholic, I was taught and in addition, Jesus told us to follow the commandments. Not all the laws of the Hebrews, but the 10 commandments in addition to what you mentioned. I can't remember the passage where Jesus stated such though, so forgive me.

I've watched a a lot of Lex's videos so this is really interesting to me.
And thank you for helping the truth to be told.

[coreyanderson]

This is interesting stuff. Thank you. I am leaning towards Messianic, but I love learning new things.

[PUSHTim]

Great video Rob! Thanks so much for your work in exposing false teachings! I really enjoy your kind and fair disposition when addressing the issues and the way you stay away from ad hominems. ❤️🥰

[deespence]

Interesting video! I think as far as praying the Lord’s Prayer-God knows in our heart who we are praying to! I don’t believe we can accidentally pray to Satan! Our Heavenly Father knows our intent.. I’m binge watching your videos! Thank you so much for speaking out about the Hebrew roots movement!❤️🙏✝️

Thank you for contending for the faith 🙏🏼

The video, "Historical & Biblical Evidence for Perfect Preservation of Scripture (OT / NT Hebrew / Greek / KJV)" on youtube really helped me understand the bible version issue.

[osvaldorivero]

Thanks for clearing it up, specially that now a days were living in times of a lot of confusion.

Codex sinaiticus is an Alexandrian text. The KJV was written from the Antioch text. One can be traced directly to the apostles, the other can't.

[AidenRKrone]

The Mosaic Law hasn't been nullified in its entirety. The moral law, _i.e._ the Decalogue, is still very much in play. Jesus Christ Himself said as much, as well as the Apostle Paul. So, the New Covenant's Law of Christ includes aspects of the Law of Moses. The moral law is a representation of God's unchanging moral character. To negate the moral law is to say that God has changed His morality, which denies the traditional Christian idea of the Triune God as being immutable and perfect.

I agreed with Lex on the 1st point, King james is the correct definitive version.Older manuscripts does not mean it is more accurate. It could be doctored.
Also becareful of your words, like Lex say .ignorance is an excuse but still suffer the same consequence.

[awkward-stranger]

So all sin comes from the breaking of the law? No, my friends, sin is disobedience to GOD and with that definition, Adam and Eve did sin before there was the law.
