Seven Gate Torah Verification Method
The question is not whether Christians can preach symbolic connections. They can. The harder question is whether the Hebrew Bible itself authorizes those conclusions before later theology supplies the decoder key.
The Frans Hansen Seven Gates System
One claim. Seven gates. No exceptions.
A religion makes a claim about God, Torah, or prophecy. The Frans Hansen Seven Gates System asks seven clear questions. Every claim must face all seven.
Frans Hansen created this Torah-first system. This page does not describe another Seven Gates method.
- 1. Name the claimWhat does the religion say is true?
- 2. Check seven questionsUse the same order every time.
- 3. Show the resultSay what fits, partly fits, or fails—and why.
- 1
TEXT (text)
Does the Hebrew wording actually say it?
- 2
THEME (theme)
Does the immediate context support it?
- 3
TIME (time)
Would the original audience hear this meaning?
- 4
TORAH (Torah)
Does the claim preserve Torah?
- 5
TANAKH (Tanakh)
Does the whole Tanakh agree?
- 6
TARGET (target)
Did the promised public result happen?
- 7
TEST (test)
Is the conclusion proven from the text rather than read back into it?
Three clear results
- MATCHThe claim fits this gate.
- PARTIAL MATCHPart of the claim fits, but it is not enough.
- MISMATCHThe claim fails at this gate.
Purpose of the Torah-first library
The method gives readers a repeatable sequence for testing context, covenant authority, prophetic fulfillment, public meaning, and burden of proof.
Core Torah verification controls
A resemblance is not a prophecy. A sermon is not a covenant. A later interpretation is not automatically the original meaning of an earlier text.

Current stress-test total
The method has now been run against 3,166 Christian claims, prooftexts, typologies, and missionary readings. The result remains 100% knockout as covenantal proof: some readings can function as illustrations, but none authorize Christianity under Torah.

Use the method on common searches
Apply the Seven Gate Torah test to messianic prophecy, Christian proof texts, Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Isaiah 7:14, Deuteronomy 13, and Jeremiah 31.
The method page now points readers from abstract rules to the concrete questions they search for when testing missionary claims and Gospel fulfillment arguments.
