Should we rethink discipleship? Are programs and books the way to go, or is learning to study the Bible correctly the best process? How do churches look at discipleship? How do the people in the pews see it? Is there a disconnect? Can you define what discipleship is? What is discipleship in Judaism? The disciples studied under the Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Creator! In effect, He wrote the Bible. We are to learn from Christ's life and the Apostles' teaching. See Acts 2:42. Let's dive in with Dr. Scott Duncan, a Discipleship Pastor! He has seen amazing results in his 15 years as Discipleship Pastor on a renewed focus when he began to "Rethink Discipleship." Please like, subscribe, and share. It helps us grow.

Where do we start, in the church or on your own?

Remember. This is His House (the earth and everything in it) and, therefore, His Rules (Bible). His word is His will. 

1. Small group for men
2. Small group for women
3. Co-ed
4. Goals of study should be to engage the biblical text by gently showing proper biblical study principles
5. Consider using this type of small group bible study as an evangelism tool
6. Change the motivation from learning "about the bible" to asking the Lord how to live praiseworthy to Him from the biblical text and what His plans and purposes are for our lives that we glean from the text. Here is an example of our men's bible study, which is growing rapidly: https://youtu.be/VfjmIsvlVLE

Several religions have stated that Jesus is not God. Or that Jesus did not say He was God. This is nonsense. He told the Jewish people that He was the I Am several times. (Exodus 3)

When Christians try to understand the Trinity, they sometimes do not understand how God can come down in the flesh. Genesis 18:2 shows this very well. 

But Jesus was 100% God and 100% a man. Daniel shows this together with the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man. Adam and Eve were sinless and then sinned. For JWs, how would our sins be forgiven if Christ was not God because only God is sinless? And how would he be able to die for the sin of the world, us who were born under sin, if He was not 100% man and 100% God. He could cry out, "It is finished," as He declared all those who would believe by faith that He was God. 1 Cor 15:1-4. He rose again and appeared to the disciples so that we would know our promise of eternal life. 

No one is saved without placing their faith in Christ. But how? Pray to the Lord, place your sins on Him, believe that He is God and that He died for your sin,s and ask him into your heart. He will cause you to be born again from above (John 3). Without that, no one is saved. 

All other religions, even some Christian religions, ask you to work to be saved, but Christ wants us to believe in Him. Then He helps us from the inside out to do things for Him. We walk through life under His precious blood, which is the grace of God teaching us away from ungodliness. Titus 2:11-12

Challenge. When you read the Gospels and see Jesus doing something or not knowing something, think about why the Holy Spirit is showing this particular situation. Could it be to teach us how to respond? We are to follow Him. We are to be His disciples. It makes for an interesting study.

Dr. Michael Heiser wrote a book called The Unseen Realm. He hypothesized that in Genesis 1:26 when God said to make man in "Our Image," this is the heavenly host of beings, not God's majestic plural. Dr. Baruch and I will discuss the majestic plural and whether Heiser is wrong or right in the context of scripture. 

We appreciate Dr. Heiser's work.

Please note that the divine council is shown in Job if you wish to refresh yourself.

Dylan continues his study challenge. Can Christians have demons? And what is the most effective prayer for "fighting spiritual entities"? 

"Lord, we ask You to have Your Kingdom, and Your will come on us in all areas of our lives.(Matthew 6:9- I am struggling, or this person is struggling in this area, and we ask Your forgiveness for XYZ sins of the occult. Lord, only You have the power to rebuke the enemy, and we ask you to rebuke this or that situation or entity. (Jude) We humble ourselves under Your hand, and Your word says if we resist the devil, He will flee from us. (James 4:7) We ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood for us that we resist the enemy of our souls. Amen"

00:47:35 How are the spiritual forces set up? Daniel gives clue 

00:49:53 Claiming geographies, is that biblical? 

00:50:27 Do we have the power to bind the enemy? 

00:53:25 A great prayer to pray for those that are lost is Acts 26:18 

00:56:57 Can we question what we are taught from the pulpit? 

00:57:31 Drop what you have been taught and study the bible yourself! 

01:01:28 What is a disciple?

 01:02:11 Are you being disciplined by the Word of God?

I am with Dylan Browning for a series on Spiritual Warfare. Dylan also studies scripture to live a praiseworthy life to God with Biblestudycompany.com. Dylan came from a Pentecostal/charismatic background and encountered a man who believes Christians can have demons. He recently attended this man’s conference and came back with some questions on spiritual warfare. My challenge was this; let’s study what you currently know about this topic in the Bible, and then we can have a podcast. He eagerly decided on the bible study! After his research, we met several times to hone the podcast. 

Here are some of our topics: 
Can believers who are born again have a demon? What happens when the Holy Spirit comes into us? Are there generational curses, and what about “soul ties”? What is our role in spiritual warfare? Is spiritual warfare offensive (we go on the attack) or defensive in nature? Are humans three parts: body, soul, spirit, or two parts? When Christians pray about binding, is this biblical? How and what do we pray for people when we encounter demons? Does repentance play a role in deliverance? 

Join us for the podcast and these questions and lively discussion!

#Romans #biblestudy #bible #Cancer #Cancersucks

Erv and I are doing bible study together on Romans. Here are some of the things you will learn. 
1. The real reason Christ saves us
2. What is an apostle?
3. The giant change of mind in Paul's life about the Lord Jesus Christ
4 Being a bondservant of our Creator
5. Hope for gentiles 
6. What is grace, and why do we need it?

Sad news: Erv's cancer has spread. The pancreatic cancer is in remission but has moved to the liver and limp glands. He has just started a long series of chemotherapy, but Erv is in good spirits and hopeful. The chemo helped with his pancreatic cancer, and the Docs say this will help too. But you can help. First, with prayer for help and healing. Second, he has to pay $300 per treatment for 26 treatments, and his insurance will not cover it, and he is on a limited income. Can you go to the gofundme and donate? Will you share this post and recommend people donate and pray? https://gofund.me/b5f6f9ab

Erv came to Christ over a year ago, and this is his testimony. https://youtu.be/LkqL4FZLP8E
