In Colossians 3:1-17, Paul urges us as the chosen, holy, deeply loved people of God to cultivate desires of the heart and habits of mind that see Christ Jesus for who he is, ourselves and our brothers and sisters for who we and they are in Christ, and our all our pursuits and work in this world as opportunities to think, act, and speak for his glory and with gratitude for his grace and mercy to us.

Guest Speaker Dr. Douglas Moo teaches from the book of Hebrews.

April 22, 2023 - Equipped Day 3 9:00AM MPR 2 Speaker  Doug Burleson looks at the similarities of the teachings from the book of James and Jesus' sermon on the mount.   Slides: Parallels Between James and the Sermon on the Mount Why doesn't James spend more time making the clear connection between himself and his older brother Sayings > Stories Not limited to Matthew Not limited to Sermon on Mount (Matthew 24:27 and James 5:9) "James depends more than any other NT author on the teaching of Jesus... The author of the letter seems to have been so soaked in the atmosphere and specifics of Jesus' teaching that he can reflect them almost unconsciously" - Douglas Moo, The Letter of James, Pillar NT Commentary, 7 How does James allude to the teaching of Jesus in the book of James? Direct Statements (not quotes) - James 1:5; 2:8; 11; 4:11-12; 5:9; 12 Being Hearers and Doers - James 2:14-26 The Beatitudes - James 2:5, 13; 3:18; 4:8 Nine Themes of practical living Direct Statements Ask and it will be given - James 1:5 & Matthew 7:7 Love your neighbor - James 2:8 & Matthew 5:43; 7:12 Do not murder, commit adultery - James 2:11 (Exodus 20:13-14) & Matthew 5:21,27 Do not make unfair judgments - James 4:11-12; 5:9 & Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:37 Do not make oaths - James 5:12 & Matthew 5:33-36 James 5:12 - But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment. Matthew 5:34-35 - But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. For total OT quotations in James James 2:8 - Leviticus 19:18 (Matt. 5:43; 7:12) James 2:11 - Exodus 20:13-14 (Deut. 5:17-18) and Matthew 5:21, 27 James 2:23 - Genesis 15:6 James 4:6 - Isaiah 54:7 Being Hearers and Doers Compare James 2:14-26 with Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 6:46 Faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 26) The wise man is like the one who hears Jesus' words and acts on them. The foolish man hears and doesn't act (Matt. 7:24-27). Why honor Jesus with our words and not do what He says? (Luke 6:46; 11:28) The Beatitudes The poor in spirit (Luke 6:20) - James 2:5 & Matt. 5:3 The merciful - James 2:13 & Matt. 5:7 The peacemakers - James 3:18 & Matt. 5:9 The pure in heart - James 4:8 & Matt. 5:8 Nine themes for living Enduring Trails - (1:2-4; Matt. 5:10-12, 48; Luke 6:23) Judging (2:1-13; Matt. 5:3-7, 19-22; 7:1-5; Luke 6:20) Listening (1:19-27; Matt 5:22; 7:21-27; Luke 6:46-49) Patience (5:7-11; Matt. 5:11-12; 7:1; Luke 6:22-23) Prayer (5:13-18; Matt. 6:12-15; 7:7-11) Use of Riches (1:9-11; Matt. 6:19-21) The tongue (3:1-12; Matt. 7:16; Luke 6:44-45) Wealth (5:1-6; Matt. 6:19-21; Luke 6:24-25; 12:33) Wisdom (3:13-18; Matt. 5:5-9) Should we be surprised at the consistency of GOD's WORD? The book of James is well-connected to the rest of scripture, but especially the teachings of Jesus. Two of the OT passages quoted in James are also quoted in the sermon on the mount. What are the implications for inspiration and the nature of the truthfulness of GOD's WORD?   Duration 41:45

Over the years, many commercials have asked the question "What Drives You?" If you were to answer this, what would you say? What gets you up in the morning and motivates you to do what you do? In Galatians 6:11-18, Paul contrasts being driven by self-interest and being driven by the cross of Christ.

Knowing the physical laws of the universe help us to live effectively on planet Earth. Just like there are physical laws, God has also written spiritual laws into His world, and we need to know these to live wisely. Paul discusses one of these spiritual laws, the law of consequences, in Galatians 6:7-10. He states the law and then draws three lessons for living.

The takeaways from this episode:Literary context is essential, but literary context without deep regard for historical and cultural context  can give you a false sense of understanding what a passage means when in reality you're not being a very good "tourist" of scripture.We cannot assume that our plain reading  of the text is the same as the original audiences' plain reading of the text. What a passage means for us when we take it at face value is probably not what it meant for them when they took it at face value. Genesis 1 is a temple text.We need to find scholars who are experts in historical/cultural context and we need to read what they're writing. Some of my favorites  for OT studies are are John Walton, Michael Heiser, Tremper Longman, Gordon Whenham, and Tim Mackie.For NT studies, my go-to scholars are NT Wright, Michael Bird, Craig Keener, Douglas Moo, Scot McKnight, Tom Schreiner The Lost World of Genesis One by John WaltonInstagram // Website // Shop

How are your relationships? Are they marked by conflict and trouble? Or things like peace and kindness? In Galatians 5:26-6:6, Paul discusses what Spirit-filled relationships look like within the church. Surprisingly, one of the keys to having healthy relationships with others is that you think rightly about yourself.

Have you ever tried to change? Have you found it difficult? Why is that? And is there any hope for change?

Listen along as we continue our time working through the story of Scripture.   Notes//Quotes: Colossians 1:15-23 - Jon Reading Supremacy, Sufficiency, Solidarity “In the past, it was common to refer to the problem as the “Colossian heresy.” That term is misleading because it anachronistically assumes that there were widely accepted criteria for judging orthodoxy in the time of Paul. It also assumes that the opponents are Christians who are corrupting the Colossians' faith. Arnold uses the word “syncretism” to avoid prejudging the teaching as “bad, heretical, or unorthodox.” Paul, however, calls it a “philosophy” (2:8). Putting this term in quotation marks prevents us from understanding it as a logical system of truths and principles and allows it to apply to a religious way of life. What this “philosophy” was and how it threatened the congregation has occupied scholars' attention for some time and no consensus has been reached. To identify the “philosophy” we have only meager snippets in a short but clearly polemical section (2:8, 16–23). The problem is compounded because this section is the most unclear passage in the letter. Many interpreters look outside the text for some evidence in Paul's environment that will help stitch all the allusions in the letter together into a coherent pattern. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack, however. What is worse, the diverging conjectures reveal that scholars are looking in quite different haystacks for this magic needle. When one examines all the conflicting proposals by scholars who muster impressive primary evidence to buttress their arguments, the conflicting accounts resemble the story of blind men trying to describe an elephant when they are touching different parts of the animal. This does not mean that if we piece together all the different proposals, we will have our answer. The evidence is confusing and enigmatic.”  - David E. Garland 1. It is a “hollow and deceptive philosophy” (2:8). 2. It is dependent on “human tradition” (vv. 8, 22). 3. It is dependent on “elemental spiritual forces of this world” (v. 8). 4. It is not dependent on “Christ” (v. 8). 5. It involves dietary restrictions (v.16). 6. It involves the practice of Jewish holidays (v.16). 7. It involves ascetic disciplines (vv. 18, 23). 8. It involves angelic beings (v. 18). 9. It involves visions (v. 18). 10. It results in pride (v. 18). 11. It results in loosing connection with Christ (v.19). 12. It involves a number of rules as a means of spiritual growth (vv. 20-23). - Douglas Moo       We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.       He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross. - Eugene H. Peterson, The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language  Gif Laughing Baby 3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  - Colossians 3:3-17 ESV “When Christians do not live with a deep sense of gratitude for what God has done for them in Christ, they will become engulfed in anxieties and will be tempted to look for security in something other than Christ. Paul repeatedly urged the Colossians to be thankful for the victory already won for them by Christ's cross and resurrection. Salvation can be found only in Christ, and Christians do not need something else or something more. The cross brings redemption, the forgiveness of sin, and triumph over all the powers that would oppress human life. Every believer is made complete when placed under the complete claim of Christ, and all the spiritual ills of our world find their only cure in him." - David E.

What happens when Christianity jumps from one culture to another? What is non-negotiable? What is flexible? In this sermon on Galatians 2:1-10, we'll explore some of these issues as they related to the Gospel jumping from the Jews to the Gentiles. We'll see that Paul is very clear that there is only one Gospel, and that the message of Jesus saving by grace through faith plus nothing else means that there is a unique way for every culture to worship God through Jesus.

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good,” author and theologian C. S. Lewis observed. Temptation is a common experience for all Christians. Being dead to sin does not mean the impulse to sin has died within us. The question is not whether we will be tempted someday but when we will be tempted and how we will respond. The temptation to sin is as likely to spring from within as it is from without. According to James, “each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed” (v. 14). Sin may still appeal to those who, in Christ, have died to sin. Yet James assures us that God will never be a source of temptation. Sin holds no appeal for God, and He does not tempt anyone (v. 13). We never have to wonder whether it is God’s will for us to sin. The answer is always no. God does, however, allow believers to face trials (v. 2). Although the same Greek root appears in both words, James makes it clear that these trials arise from different sources. One reason is for our strengthening. But the appeal to sin does not come from Him. New Testament scholar Douglas Moo observes that when we think of trials, “we should probably think both of the difficulties that are common to all people as well as the specific adversities that Christians must face as a result of their faith.” As Christians, we experience the same troubles in life that everyone else does. But there are also unique challenges that come to us because we follow Christ. God uses the pressure of these difficult circumstances to transform our character and build our faith (v. 4). >> Trials and temptations are not the same thing. In addition, they call for two very different responses. When you face trials, you should rejoice. When you face the temptation to sin, you should run.

Dr. Douglas Moo is Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament in Wheaton College Graduate School and has led the Committee on Bible Translation (the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV). While it is obvious that a translation must substitute one vocabulary (e.g., English) for another (e.g., Hebrew), it is not always understood that a translation must also substitute one grammar (sentence structure, or syntax) for another. It is this aspect that helps to illustrate how among English translations the ESV, NIV, and NLT represent points on a spectrum from more “formal” to more “dynamic” theoretical approaches.

Believers are to use their gifts humbly and corporately to build up the body of Christ and bring glory to God.   True worship entails dedicating your whole self to God.   "I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my  disciples, if you love one another." - Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35)   Love one another genuinely, like Jesus, from the inside out.   Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant  offering to God. - Ephesians 5:1-2   "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his  friends." - John 15:12-13   1. Our allegiance (v. 9)   2. Our affection (v. 10)   Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. - Romans 12:10 NIV   3. Our actions (vv. 11-13)   The temptation to lose steam in our lifelong responsibility to reverence God in every aspect of our lives, to become lazy and complacent in our pursuit of  what is "good, well pleasing to God, and perfect," is a natural one - but it must be resisted. - Douglas Moo   "treating a person, perhaps a stranger, nobly and magnanimously in the context of one's home, joyfully seeking to bring that person refreshment."    Love one another genuinely, like Jesus, from the inside out.  

Dr. Douglas Moo is Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament in Wheaton College Graduate School.

For years he has led the Committee on Bible Translation (the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV). In this conversation about the exposition of Psalm 8 in Hebrews 2, he explains the difficulties scholars have in translating language that can be taken as a reference to the man, Jesus, and/or humankind.

Last time we talked about what you might call “situational context” and how that helps our understanding of the Bible. This time we will talk about translations – how they can impact our understanding. The books of the Bible were not originally written in English. The written documents of the Old Testament books were handed down through time in Hebrew language. And the New Testament books were initially written in Greek. We're not suggesting that faithful Bible students have to learn those languages. But translators do know those languages – intimately – and they take their work seriously. But they have decisions to make. Types of Translations: · Formal equivalence = word for word= English Standard Version · Closest natural equivalence / Meaning for meaning = God's Word Translation · Dynamic/functional equivalence Thought for thought / phrase for phrase = New International Version · Paraphrase/ retelling = The Message; The Living Bible Link to Episode 203: https://anchor.fm/theologyontap/episodes/Theology-On-Tap--Episode-203-Canon-and-Translations-eqatq3 Pastor Mark's 5 (hopefully) easy-to-remember categories: 1.

The significance of the Bible's extensive teaching about the natural world is easily overlooked by Christians accustomed to focusing only on what the Bible says about God's interaction with human beings. Who cares about the creation? Well, God told us humans that we are supposed to care for the creation.  Jonathan A. Moo is associate professor of New Testament and environmental studies at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. He has a unique education, having graduate degrees (including a PhD from Cambridge) in both biblical studies and wildlife ecology. He collaborated with his father, Douglas Moo, on the book, Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World (Zondervan, 2018).

True wisdom acts in a certain way - 1 Peter 2:12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 10 ways we can live with good conduct (List derived from “A Letter to Diognetus”, Chapter 5: The Conduct of the Christians) 1. By storing up treasure in heaven 2. By being invested in the good of the city around us 3. By loving our children and considering them a blessing 4. By being hospitable to others 5. By being faithful in our marriages 6. By obeying the law of the land - through obedience to God 7. By loving our neighbours 8. By being content with little 9. By responding to insult with honour, patience, and prayer 10. By being patient and joyful in hardship - James 1:21 - Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. - This Christian meekness, or humility, comes from understanding our position as sinful creatures in relationship to the glorious and majestic God. It recognizes how unable we are in and of ourselves to achieve spiritual fulfillment or to chart our own course in the world. And this humility before God should then translate into humility towards others. - Douglas Moo - 1 Corinthians 15:10 - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 2. True wisdom brings certain results False wisdom is… 1. earthly - isn’t concerned about the things of God or his will and purposes (Phil. 3:19) 2. unspiritual - ruled by human reasoning and human feeling (Jude 19) 3. demonic - from the devil - in conflict with the purposes and people of God (Eph. 2:2) - Philippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. - Ephesians 2:14 - For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility. True wisdom is… 1. Pure a. Peaceable - peace making b. Gentle - not imposing strict measures on others c. Open to reason - a willingness to yield to others, to be persuaded d. Full of mercy and good fruit - a love for neighbour displayed in practical action e. Impartial - fair treatment of others f. Sincere - transparent and consistent in character - Galatians 5:22–24 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. - James 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. Together on the same slide: - 1 Corinthians 1:24 - …Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. - Colossians 2:2-3 - …Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Ephesians 3:10 - so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

Open description for time stamps. Welcome to my Passion Project! Where real scholars test the wild claims of Brian Simmons about his new Bible, The Passion Translation, so that YOU can know what's really going on with this suddenly popular new Bible version. Today's video features Dr. Douglas Moo and his thoughts after reviewing the book of Romans. Dr. Moo has invested much of his scholarly life on the book of Romans and I am so excited to have such an expert weigh in on The Passion Translation. There's a link below to where I will put ALL the reviews and papers as they are published. You should see a total of 5 uploaded by mid-January. After that I will need to wait a while for more scholars to finish their papers and do interviews. I hope to have it all done in the next few months. What's was my goal with this? I want the people of Christ to know the truth about this "translation" so that they can love what God has said without Brian Simmons altering it in unjustified ways. However, in the course of researching for this project I've uncovered some other very concerning things about Brian Simmons' teachings including false prophecy and various extreme claims regarding his own spiritual experiences. I'll be sharing some of this in future videos as well since I have realized that he is not just styling himself as a Bible translator but as an inspired Bible interpreter who is going to release a last days transformation in the people of God so that "everything that can be said about Jesus can be said about you". Yeah, it's weird. Stay tuned to my channel for more info on this in the coming weeks. LINK to all interviews AND papers as they are uploaded. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/the-passion-translation If you are interested in Dr. Moo's books and commentary they can be found here. He's a brilliant and highly accomplished scholar and has a lot of interesting insights, especially on the letters of Paul. https://www.amazon.com/Douglas-J.-Moo/e/B000AQ6VXE%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share My website https://BibleThinker.org *These time stamps will begin working after the premiere has aired. 0:00 Brian Simmons says God "increased the capacity" of his brain. 0:26 Brian says God gave him secrets of Hebrew and Greek. 1:03 What is "My Passion Project" 1:16 What today's video is about. 2:46 Brian says God gave him extra special help from an angel to do the book of Romans. 3:25 Who is Dr. Douglas Moo and why did he review Romans in TPT? 5:13 What positive things does Dr. Moo have to say about TPT's rendering of Romans? 6:34 How TPT has a "confusing translation philosophy". 9:39 TPT adds stuff to the Bible. Examples given. 12:12 Brian Simmons presents himself as a spiritual guru. 13:34 Shocking claims in TPT commercial from Sid Roth's show. 14:29 The suspicious nature of a one-man translation. 16:00 Brian Simmons' wild claims about inspiration from God. 17:44 A CENTRAL issue showing TPT can't be trusted; "the Aramaic." 20:10 Brain is making stuff up and pretending it is "scholarship". 23:51 Simmons uses "false appeal to etymology" in TPT (a lot). 25:55 Testing one of Brian Simmons "secrets of Hebrew", Homonyms. 29:56 Brian Simmons claims he is a linguist but makes basic linguistic errors. 30:44 Example of "questionable interpretations" in Romans in TPT. 32:38 Footnotes in the TPT that Brian claims are from God are sometimes "frankly nonsense." 35:33 Does TPT look like it was reviewed by scholars as most translations are. 38:23 Dr. Moo views "translation" and "paraphrase" differently than others I have interviewed. 39:34 TPT says that it "reclaims lost Aramaic texts," what does Dr. Moo think about that? 41:20 The TPT web site claims it is "an excellent translation you can use as your primary text to seriously study God's word," Dr. Moo responds. 41:59 Dr. Moo responds to the Bill Johnson quote. 43:27 Is TPT misleading people in it's promotional material? 44:51 What would Dr. Moo say to someone who loves TPT? 45:43 Did God grow Bria

Bottom Line: To see what Paul means by “works of the law,” it behooves us to see how the early Church Fathers defined that concept. Takeaways In Romans and Galatians, Paul says that “works of the law” are not a means of justification. “For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.” (Rom 3:28). “Yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.” (Gal 2:16) But, theologians through the years have defined “works of the law” in different ways, and this has affected how we believe someone is “saved.”  The “Old Perspective” defines “works of the law” as any human effort, including good works and pious deeds, that one performs in an attempt to justify oneself. However, because of our inability to perform such works perfectly, they believe that there's nothing anyone can do for their salvation. Thus, in their view, we are “saved” by “faith only.” The scholars we talk about that fall into this perspective include Martin Luther (1483-1546), John Calvin (1509-1564), Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976), and Douglas Moo (b. 1950).  The “New Perspective” refers to biblical scholarship that began in the 2nd-half of the 20th-century. According to these scholars, Paul's “works of the law” refer specifically to Jewish observances—such as circumcision, Sabbath-keeping, and food laws—that are meant to separate Jews from Gentiles. In other words, they function as identity markers that indicate that one is a part of the Jewish nation. They argue that Paul rejects “works of the law” because God's promises, which are fulfilled by Jesus, are intended for all nations—not simply Jews—and so these identity markers are unnecessary. The scholars that we talk about who represent this view are E.P. Sanders (b. 1937), James Dunn (1939-2020), and N.T. Wright (b. 1948). Matthew Thomas, in his book Paul's “Works of the Law” in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception, argues that the best way to determine what Paul actually meant is to see what the Church Fathers had to say. After all, they wrote shortly after Paul died. What he discovers is that they define “works of the law” similarly to the “New Perspective” scholars. In other words, the Fathers define “works of the law” as signifying Jewish identity (e.g. circumcision, Sabbath-keeping, and food laws) and not pious deeds or works in general. So, for Paul, walking the Way (i.e, performing pious deeds) is still a part of our path to salvation. This can be summed up as loving God and neighbor. Some of the Church Fathers we talk about include St. Justin Martyr (d. 165), St. Irenaeus of Lyon (130-202), and Origen (184-253).  I encourage all my listeners to pre-order Paul's “Works of the Law” in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception by Matthew J. Thomas at either InterVarsity Press (click here) or Amazon (click here).
