The dojo is a place where you go to study and train in martial arts. Growing in Christian discipleship is similar to martial arts training (1 Cor. 9:26-27)...
We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus
We have a katana (sword): Scripture
So consider this a dojo for disciples to be Equipped, Engaged, and Empowered in their study of Scripture.

Great idea! I have a lot of paperwork bibles! ❤😎
Thank you for this, JM! I would love to see more expositions of sermons from Wesley or others and hear your thoughts on them. This sermon has been a good reminder for me to try and hold more to what Wesley called the "catholic spirit". I admit that even I most likely lean more progressive than you (though not to the extreme of even denying Jesus's divinity! By no means! I think my point of view would be "inclusive orthodoxy", I think), I have learned and grown so much in my faith thanks to your ministry and I hold it ever so dear to my heart. I also appreciate you as a voice of the Wesleyan-Methodist tradition, as I was recently convinced of it (instead of my Baptist and Catholic upbringing) and I have had such a hard time finding voices from said tradition, instead of say, Calvinists. Please keep up the good work, please please please! God bless you!
Thank you for providing one of the few Wesleyan voices on KZread! There are a great number of Calvinist, Reformed, Baptist, and Calvary voices from which, with discernment, much can be learned. For some reason, good Wesleyan/ Methodist thinkers are more difficult to find.
Thank you! This is a really great treatment of Wesley. I needed these reminders. Additionally, I could see the strands of early Pentecostal beliefs and their pursuit of unity outside of mainline denominations in his thoughts about catholic Christianity. Appalachian Pentecostals who were somewhat influenced by the Wesleyan Holiness movement referred to themselves as the "Christian Union," a phrase drawn from Wesley himself.
It’s very disheartening to see almost every mainline Protestant church in the US, UK, and Canada go full apostate with gender ideology and pushing marxist critical race theory/ wokism and not adhering to the gospels. 😔
It was great learning about John Wesley! For me, it’s not the differences between baptism, communion, or whether drinking wine is acceptable, it’s complimentarianism and Calvinism that I have difficulty tolerating. I have a hard time being in fellowship with Christians that look down on women and see lost souls as reprobates.
What the bible say's about masturbation is in Lev.15:16-24, that also deals with the single man and single woman that's had sex and what to do if the emission get's on either of them, WASH with WATER and be clean after a certain amount of time, it's no different from any other law that has to do with any liquid form leaving a man's body, pee, poop ( diarrhea ), a runny nose, anything that could have germs, bacteria or viruses that can be contacted by someone else, masturbation is only a modern day word for loving one's self or self love, it's nothing new, it's been going on ever since man found out there was pleasure in doing it, there's a right way and a wrong way in doing it since it involves the mind and what your thinking about or desiring when you do it, if your desiring another man's wife or woman, your sinning in your heart, although it's not something God will judge you for but it is something if you don't control that could cause you to sin, there's really no excuse to be desiring another man's wife or woman when there's so many single women out there that would love nothing more than to have you desire her, no one is going to be judged based on their thoughts, period, only on the thoughts they act on, period, however on that day when God reveals the innermost thoughts of men's heart, beware, at that time NO ONE will be able to stand, in this respect we are ALL sinners, but not acting on it will get you praised on that day, a person strong in the faith can see anything, he knows what he see's will never cause him to sin, a person weak in the faith should not even be watching tv or going to the beach or anywhere beautiful women go, that person is apt to sin and once he does, separation from God occurs, what the eye's can see is not the sin, it's what the eye's can see that is the CAUSE of the sin, if your eye will CAUSE you to sin, pluck it out, if your hand will CAUSE you to sin, cut it off, the sins of the flesh are manifested, they appear, the sins in the heart or the mind do NOT appear, the sins of the heart and mind are only where they originate from, there is good and evil in everyone, if you don't see it in reality, you will in your mind before it appears before others, the spiritual world is in the mind, if your mindful of the evil or see it when it's coming, you will never do it, that's walking in the spirit, being mindful or aware of what you see in your mind is sin, if seeing a naked woman will cause you to sin then by all means don't look at one, if going to the beach and seeing women in their bathing suits will cause you to sin, then don't go to the beach, heck for that matter if just working around one will cause you to sin, move to the mountains, if you don't know what sin is, read 1 Jn 3:4, it's breaking God's Law, if you don't know God's Law, READ ABOUT IT, ALL the forbidden sexual sins are in it, the law and the prophets, whatever is beyond what is written in it is coming from one's heart and mind, and know this, the heart of man is very deceiving, make them PROVE to you that masturbation hurts your body, I say body because if you believe it hurts your relationship with God, that would be mental, if it's hurting you mentally then I would say you got a MENTAL problem that needs to be looked into by someone experienced enough to deal with it, the bible say, What man has ever hated his own body but rather cherished and loved it, that author should be living in our times, there are MANY in our times that hate their own bodies
Amazing topic. The need for the body of Christ to be united is dire. This topic bothers me. An entire chapter (John 17) records the long fervent prayer of Christ on unity in the church. I appreciate this except from Wesley. It leans heavily on chapter 14 in Romans.
It’s raining cats and dogs out there? I’m wrestling with that…🤣🤣🤣
My search for more interviews of Dr. Jason A. Staples brought up this good interview. Thank you!
Ah em Cited 'bout dee Gee-eM-Cee and ahm uh Bab-dis😂❤🎉
Looks like a good book. What Catholicism actually teaches is very often quite different to the characteruer misrepsented by many Protestants.
The answer is none. Why would you read a mistranslation rather than the original Hebrew?
My people still speak Aramaic. We call our selves “Suraaye” and we inhabit Mesopotamia. My family is from the Nineveh Plains, a land that is home to many Suraaye(plural, Suraaya singular). We are from the Village of “Alqosh”. It is a very significant village biblically speaking. It holds the tomb of Nahum, the 7th of 12 minor prophets. We use the Syriac font of Aramaic which is sometimes referred to as middle Aramaic. ܫܠܡܐ ܘܚܘܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܩܘܫ, ܩܝܡ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ. שלמא וחוב מן אלקוש, קים לה מרן. Shlāmā wa’ħob min Alqosh, qīm leh māran. “Peace and love from Alqosh, he has risen Our Lord.
The autograph of this video did not originally include the physical book, "Jesus Contradicted". That's a scribal edit.
I just want to thank you for your generosity in sharing God’s word with me. I am enjoying your channel and deepening my understanding of what it means to be His disciple❤️😊🙏
Just happened to come across this video after trying to find the best Orthodox bible to buy. Unfortunately this seems to be the only legible English translation to find
Amazing video
"What did they eat?" Mike can always be counted on to raise naturalistic objections to miraculous events. He really confuses me at times.
Was blown away by the existence of modern day, non-Jewish, Torah-observant Samaritans who still worship at Mount Gerizim like the ones in Jesus' day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans
Do which book could be good source (english) for the study of psalms from the dead sea scrolls?
I don't know of any, since the DSS are often fragmentary. You'd have to search journal articles for that level of technical study, I imagine.
@@DiscipleDojo Thankyou very much for your reply. There are two dss books I found in Amazon translated in english. There could be more. I just don't know nor do I know which among the two books is better. One is 'The Dead sea scrolls Bible' by Marin G Abegg and the other is ' The Complete Dead Sea scrolls in English' by Dr Geza Vermes. They have many chapters of psalm in them. (including psalm 151 as found in lxx) Let me see if I can find any journal articles on dss psalms as you said. Thnx.
Thank you, Brothers 🌹⭐⭐🌹
The Bible is the Living Word of God . . . whatever you seek to find, that is what you will find!!! Every religious belief successfully finds scripture to support their belief . . . Thank God that He knows the level of deception that comes in these Last Days because obviously every single human who reads the Bible & interprets it their own way, cannot possibly be right . . . Thank God salvation is based upon being 'born again' by belief in Jesus as the Son of God who died & rose from death in our place & for our sins & NOT upon whether we believe in amillennial, premillennial, postmillennial or pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib sequence of events. I am encouraged that "billions" will be crowded into Jerusalem & super huge banquet table - but stated negatively is putting limits on God, like God hadn't thought of that? That's my red flag that something is not correct in somebody's thinking & interpretation of scripture . . . God cannot be wrong, God is unchanging, God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniportent & every other omni... to describe God, way beyond my level of thinking. So, I'm just going to trust in God & not any human for how things will come to pass.
As a reformed guy, I really appreciate your fair review. Great to see.
Thanks. My goal is to treat my Reformed friends the way I wish they'd treat me.
@@DiscipleDojo And vice versa!
The Greek verb e·geiʹro, meaning “to raise up,” can refer to a resurrection, but it is often used in other contexts. For example, it can mean to “lift out” of a pit or to “get up” from the ground. (Mt 12:11; 17:7; Lu 1:69) Matthew does not say that “the holy ones” are “raised up.” He says that their “bodies” are. Evidently, the earthquake was so powerful that the tombs were broken open and corpses were thrown out of them. Just another perspective
But the text says they went into the holy city...so it's talking about more than bodies being exhumed, no matter how we interpret it.
@@DiscipleDojo thank you for replying. It’s very interesting.
V 53. Or “they who came out.” The Greek verb indicates a plural masculine subject referring to people, not to the bodies (neuter in Greek) mentioned in verse 52. This evidently refers to passersby, who saw the dead bodies exposed by the earthquake (vs. 51) and who entered the city and reported what they had seen. I’m only wondering aloud. I’m only have very little Biblical Greek but am studying hard.
You ran a poll in the last couple of days asking what type of offerings from your channel each of us preferred. THIS! This is what I prefer. Intelligent, informed discussion about the Bible. This is gold. That being said, I also like your teaching videos and your Bible reviews. 👍🏻😃🙌🏼
I love this type of video, too! Because of your channel, though, I buy more books. Thanks for introducing us to so many scholars and books that I would probably never hear about without your channel. I am almost done with Dr. Licona's "Paul Meets Muhammed" and enjoying it. His writing is very informative and creative. FYI, you are poking tiny holes in the Reformed bubble I have been living in. ;) Thanks, JM, for putting so much work into your channel!
Compare and beware! Proverbs 18:1 KJV.
What work of Middleton are you referring to here?
We are discussing his book "Abraham's Silence."
It's so obvious how much pro-palestinian and anti Zionist you are just in this video. Being afraid to offend islam, overtly cautions not to hurt "muslim friends". Islam is and never was a friend of christians.
I’ve been learning a lot in my apologetics class. One thing I’ve learned is “not being a jerk” works well and allows doors to be opened for people to listen to you.
Study bibles are for people wanting someone else to do the work,and their perspective is based on another man's opinions.Not discovered by the person through relationship to God,and guidence of the Holy Spirit.
@@ricklamb772 the irony is that's your own opinion.
This Evangelical 'scholar' who smears Muhammad, should tell us more about the genocidal passages of Hebrew Bible, are those inerrant or just imagery? None of the single verse of Bible manuscripts is preserved, as originals are all lost now. Evangelicals are known to be nutcases who take everything in Bible to be inerrant. Should we Muslims smear Christians because of bad passages of Bible now, the way this 'scholar' is doing with Islam?
Is it weird that I thought it may have been God releasing the ghosts of the saints for a short while? Yeah, I know Matthew says “bodies” but still . . . God can do anything.
There are NUMEROUS ways faithful Christians have interpreted this passage. So latching on to any one and disregarding or condemning all the others is unwarranted. Like Genesis 6, this is a passage that should be approached with exegetical humility and lack of dogmatism.
I don’t disregard or condemn Dr. Licona’s views or book. Thanks for all you do. ❤
Thanks for another great video on a very interesting topic. I have a question for either of you. I'm a believer of many years who has been on a journey in my faith recently. I come from a conservative background, Southern Baptist, but I've gone to many denominations over the years. When you read a passage like Matthew 27, and consider the possibility that Matthew may have added portions of the story for literary effect, how do you reconcile that with a modern day Christianity that says they bible is 100% inspired by God? I do believe the bible is 100% infallible, but not 100% inerrant. It just seems that the more I study and actually listen to scholars like you two, the more I have to trust in almighty God and His work through the Holy Spirit (not that I'm very charismatic or looking for a new revelation), and the less I blindly follow what the bible says. It is a strange road to walk. I have peace, but I feel very alone in my conservative church. I hope you understand the question. Any thoughts on growing deeper in what the bible actually says would be greatly welcome.
I'd say put less stock in what various preachers claim about Inspiration and more stock in what Scripture itself consists of. When our view of Inspiration is built upon shaky foundations, it can crumble needlessly. For more, see our Bible for the Rest of Us course here on the channel--particularly the first 5 sessions.
@@DiscipleDojo I understand what you're saying, but don't you have a difficult time finding fellow believers who not only understand, but agree with your views on scripture? Since fellowship and community are built on our mutual beliefs in what scripture says, it is often hard if not impossible, to find a group of believers who don't think I'm a heretic. Maybe you have a wonderfully accepting church where everybody's a biblical scholar, but my reality for many years is that most people don't actually think about the bible, they just believe what their preacher or tradition says. Thanks for the feedback, I will check out course.
Wow, just wow. How disappointing! So every single other verse in Matthew is true but this one verse is a lie, just because it includes miraculous events? Shocked that you are promoting this. Absolutely terrible exegesis, and it taints your whole channel.
Notice how you immediately jump to "is a lie"...COMPLETELY ignoring any actual discussion of the text, genre, or literary devices. If this "taints my whole channel", then you're exactly the type of Christian who needs to be here and have your views challenged.
@@DiscipleDojo no thanks, man. I don’t spend my time watching videos that trash the inerrancy and inspiration of God’s Word. As for the rest of your attack…I watched the entire video and heard the full context. Saying Matthew meant it like “it’s raining cats and dogs”…are you even serious right now?
This is why the Bible says we need two to three witnesses to establish something. So when we get things like the thief on the cross we don’t make a mountain out of nothing, because it’s only in one of the gospels . Btw that thief never confessed, he never said sorry . And now people believe in death bed confessions 🥲. I wouldn’t trust a verse that stands by itself
His faith seemed good enough for Jesus...so it's good enough for me. Not everything needs to be retold in every Gospel to be true. Otherwise you'd have to throw out most of John and a lot of Matthew. I would respectfully encourage you to rethink your view on this.
@@DiscipleDojobut the Bible has translation errors, unless you want to think that Jesus the word made flesh didn’t know the word. however God gave us a way to decipher what’s true or not . Multiple witnesses . We also need to recognize the book has been messed with by man. So here’s an example. Are you gonna tell me Jesus and his deciples don’t know scripture? Cuz there doing Passover on the wrong day . Whoever translated their writings didn’t know Torah . Mathew 26:17 Mark 14:12 Luke 22:7 (The original instruction Leviticus 23:5-6 & numbers 29:16-25)
Deciples dojo,Every single time there is a dispute on scripture,Paul's teachings are always involved.Keading me to realize,his teachings are over most people heads.Mist.Every argument in scripture,Paul is arguing with the head of the church,Peter,or conflicting, Jesus's own teachings .Paul is not the Son of god.Jesus is.The author and finisher.Paulv,rather it be circumcision,or a fake rapture,and yes,even unclean foods.Firstcofvallvonkyvsomeone still lost would stumble over eating nasty bottom trash eating abominable beast.A saved person is not looking for loop holes to continue in unclean practices.Andcthe very foundation when God is teaching us what to eat and what not to eat was based on creatures He created and told us not to eat.Hiwcciuldcvile change into clean? At the appearing of the King of righteousness? If anything He raised the bar.Hatred is murder,lust is adultery.aJesuscHimself said not one line or tittle of the law shall pass away .So I'll try and explain, Pharasee Paul.Itcsays they deliberately teach to make understanding hard.AndcPaul said he was King of the Pharasees.Paul teaches in circles,takes you all over China and back,just to say something simple,yet people get lost in confusion half way through.So does one steal in the name of Jesus? Or murder in His name.You can't do something God called abominable,in the name of His Holy Son,and pretend it's not good. When it talks about meat,it's talking about clean allowable meats,it talking about,people condemning other people for eating regular clean meat ,compared to a vegetarian that eates no meat.It says both are ok.ButcPaulciscteachingvin this particular instance of people who don't eat vile foods,like pig,or lobster, or Octopus,or shark,or eagles.Thecpeople he's talking to already know that.Thectopic is pretty lengthy.So I don't want to ramble on But Cain was cursed and run away from his family Because he ignored God's instructions.Cain offered up to God a vegetable sacrifice,and it was rejected by God Ablecwas paying attention and offered up a clean meat sacrifice and was praised by God,so do the math,Meat good,vegetables bad.accirdingcto God.
Does the space bar not work on your computer? :) Peter warned us that Pauls letters "contain some things that are hard to understand...that the ignorant and unstable twist, as they do the other scriptures", so it shouldn't surprise us that people don't know what to do with him sometimes. But the Apostolic Council of Acts 15 was VERY clear that gentiles are not required to keep Levitical food laws any more than we are required to keep Levitical sacrificial laws. You can't pick and choose which laws of Torah to keep and which can be discarded. Either we are in the Messianic New Covenant poured out by the Spirit and written on human hearts or we're not. Anything else is at odds with the Holy Spirit's guidance in Acts 15.

I enjoyed the conversation very much. I especially liked your comments about how we can be better Christians with others. I also appreciated what Dr. Licona shared. My personal experience with Muslims is limited to the few Muslim friends I have. Before I left to go abroad a few years ago, my Muslim friend told me to never say Muhammed was a false prophet as a reason why I was Christian and not Muslim. She said I could find myself in serious trouble if I said it to the wrong person. She told me to tread very carefully and to avoid religious discussions. Maybe it is easier to have these conversations with friends who are Muslims in the US or Canada. I ordered some of Dr. Licona's books to hear more of his perspective. Thank you for adding his website! There is so much good material to explore. I appreciate how you work to bring so many guests to the channel.
Spot on
Why would you do that, besides the language is completely extinct. What you and others call "Aramaic" is in fact Assyrian (Ashurit, Ktav Ashurit) and nothing else.
@@axelmegaton5115 are you seriously asking why a Bible teacher would want to have a better understanding of one of the languages the Bible was written in?
Not at all. You can learn any language you want and understand your Bible as it pleases you. I am only against you calling my Assyrian letters (Ktav Ashurit) and my Assyrian language (Lishanan Ashuraya) for Aramaic just to please your God Jesus.@@DiscipleDojo
Reading Jason’s newest book right now. Great content!
@@scottdocter9598 it's the best NT book I've read in years.
This is an addition to my previous post. There I stated that there are two components of the New Covenant: baptism with spirit and baptism with water. Now you understand why the Hebrew word "circumcisions" is plural here. The final "Moses" for our time (as the two witnesses) must undergo both "circumcisions" before he commences his 3.5 year ministry. I would like to clear up the supposed ambiguities, if a may. 1. The angel of the Lord is about to kill *_Moses._* This angel represents Christ and may even well have been him. 2. It makes no difference which son is having the circumcision. This is a prophetic drama. Not every detail is relevant. 3. The foreskin is presented at the feet of the angel. It is not a euphemism - "at the feet" (of the Lord) signifies humility and a willingness to submit to God's will. 4. Zipporah is talking to the angel of the Lord (Christ). 5. The Lord lets *_Moses_* alone. I have shared both these posts with Carmen in the comments section of a video on her KZread channel. Would you like to know when the ministry of the two witnesses commences? This man must be baptized before then, and he surely knows when his ministry will commence, since he is currently under a death sentence from the Lord!
