2025/10/17

Dr. Jay and Amazing Larry continue their look at Remez … how Rabbis teach the Bible in shorthand. Remez means to “allude” to something, usually a specific section of the Hebrew Scriptures, via a phrase, word, or even an action.

The Truth Barista ·

2025/10/10

Learning how to read the Bible is crucial for every Christian. 1st Century rabbis taught the Bible in shorthand using a method called “remez.” With one phrase, one word, and even one action, a teacher could refer to a vast amount of scripture, saving time and creating, “Aha!” moments for his class. See how Jesus used this technique to reveal profound truths as He was being crucifiedFrothy Thoughts with the Truth BaristaVisit HighBeam Ministry, The Truth BaristaCheck out the Frothy Thoughts

Cursing à la Prayer!

The Truth Barista ·

2025/09/26

The Bible is full of surprises. Take imprecatory prayers in the Psalms, for example. Some of David’s imprecatory prayers call down curses on God’s enemies. But Jesus told us to pray for our enemies. How do we square the apparent contradiction? You’ll be shocked and burst out laughing as you listen.Frothy Thoughts with the Truth BaristaVisit HighBeam Ministry, The Truth BaristaCheck out the Frothy Thoughts Blog!Check out The Truth Barista Books!Check out The Truth Barista YouTube Channel!

Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10, 2025. His death has proved what a tremendous influence the Lord exerted through his life, ministry, and political activity.

Christians … a Threat to Social Order

The Truth Barista ·

2025/08/22

Is Christianity a threat to society or just perceived as a threat? The Roman empire thought Christianity was a threat because Christians wouldn’t honor all deities, only their Lord Jesus.
