Thank you for uploading this and all the other videos. I have been wanting to go to seminary for a long time but haven’t been able to (time-money-family). Thanks to this, I’ve been able to watch over 14 hours of classes. This is so desperately needed. Preachers are not preaching the full council of God’s word, and the church is suffering. There’s a counterfeit Christianity that has taken hold here in America and the only way to expose it is by preaching the Word of God. Thanks again and God bless you!
Seriously, thanks a million in uploading these videos. I know God wants us to pray for our enemies but He knows my heart and bias-I keep TMC/GCC and any ministry there in constant prayer for your faithfulness, obedience, boldness and Gods continuing work there. Keep it up!
I got saved in a country where there's nothing like this no truth like this. This is my only means of studying the first time I heard a true Gospel was online from Paul washer John Mcauther Leneord Ravenhill etc. Now all what I want to do is to be in the serminary to study so I can preach the Gospel to my country. Please I need help.
Really helpful to a bible believing Christian who doesn't have a degree in Theology like me. Thank you Master's Seminary. Lots of love -- from Nairobi Kenya.
This professor's personality is more subdued than I'm accustomed to (but far more appealing than the wild "showmen" I see all over TV), but I determined to watch this through to the end. Am I glad I did!!! Around 38 minutes in, I could sense, hear, feel, see his excitement and love for God's word, and it just put the biggest ol' smile on my face. I look forward to more study with gentle teacher. Thanks for the upload!
I do not have the assignments for these courses, but if you go the the TMS website I linked in the description, look up the prof and email him your request I am sure he will help you out. Hope that helps!
Sad about his passing not so long time ago.... But even over my bad english I´ll try to watch whole playlist, because his speech is really motivational. Hope I can learn something.
I agree, we must strive to keep the intent of God's word faithful to what God intended. Anyone that does not have a fear of the Lord is simply irresponsible and dangerous. That said, the next skill is to capture the emotion of the passage. The Bible is living and active. If we are to fellowship with God we must have the confidence that our mind is being renewed to inform our emotions.
praise the Lord! thanks for this!! Paul Washer once said "you want to be a preacher? study hermeneutics, church history, languages, and systematic theology."
With regard to exploring context.........I wonder what example would be the most distant reference in Scripture, of context? In other words, ........I wonder if it could be said that something in the last Chapter or Revelation, points back in "Context" to the first Chapter of Genesis? Should we be looking to FIND those broad Contextual relationships, or staying within a passage, for "Context?"
+nutmegger1957 Well I think that the whole bible connects with itself. So the context of a passage can always bear witness to the truth revealed throughout scripture. An example is when God said to Abraham in Genesis "So shall thy seed be." Well Paul also quotes that verse in Gal. 3:16 that the seed which God was talking about is Christ. So the Genesis passage is not out of context with the truth of the gospel as shown by Paul.
+David Campbell if you look at Eph. 5:18 and ask questions in relation to the book of ephesians alone it can actually broaden your understanding of the book. I tried this a few days ago and even though I didnt quite get 35 (I got 32) points it helped me study the word with the goal of understanding the whole book. Now if we get 35 observations for every verse it can really help.
Hey Joshua, thanks for all you do in providing us with great lectures from a great seminary. I was wondering if there are anyway we can have these on an mp3 format?
Basic Bible Interpretation by Roy B Zuck is one of two books. The other book is by an author with the last name Thomas but i'm not sure about the title.
I'm a student in bible college, and these videos helps a lot in my studies, is there any way i can get some notes that was used in this seminar? Thanks. Hoping for a favourable response.
Dallas Theological Seminary is a shell of what it used to be. Between Darrell Bock and Dan Wallace, their theology has become compromised. Progressive dispensationalism and their complementary hermeneutic has done much damage. Plus the school is full on ecumenical and it’s no wonder our churches have become weaker when schools like Moody, Dallas, Biola, and Grace, to name a few, have allowed worldly concerns to control them. What a shame.
Hello, I work as a software engineer from Hyderabad, India. I want to study God’s word and truly understand the historic Christian faith. Are there any basic online theology courses that Master’s Seminary offers? Thank you!
Solomon, I would recommend more scholarly resources - start with an accredited professor like Bart Ehrman - Here is a great discussion re the Gospel of Mathew - th-cam.com/video/hCyFw3jnoUk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oYSxFbK1aJeiQBjl
+Fred Mcelroy you mean, searching for meaning in the light of the whole book panorama? Not at all, I think is even healthier. Because sometimes the book as a whole has a very definitive purpose.
Yes, in fact, we must observe a passage in the light of its immediate text but ALSO in the light of the entire Bible. Otherwise, we can assume certain interpretations that look okay in a small context, but do not then agree with the rest of the Bible.
I have a very significant expectation that if we tested the good professor concerning what is specifically said and what is not said he would run into significant problems with his theology...🙂🙂
Take the number of "good" seminaries in America, multiply it by the size of the graduating class(es), and ask yourself, "What really does the school of the prophets produce...?" Perhaps it's Luke 3 or 4.... verses 1 and forward. The church doesn't need another professional. She needs a radical. If you're spending, if I'm spending more time parsing verbs than I am in fasting, repentance, and radical seclusion before the Throne, waiting for and expecting His voice and a vision of the Holy, I should, we should, work for McDonald's of FedEx. I'm ashamed, certainly. But, "Jesus wept." I slept soundly last night. He spent the evening awake, alone, and yielded. God help us, and grant us repentance...
" Men and women of the book"...??? That's our calling in Christ?? How about men and women of God.... The book is all about directing us toward God... It is not an end in itself.
@@marlak1104 Wile I appreciate your ideal, the fatal flaw is that for the vast portion of history most of the saints did NOT have a book to test ..... Even more important, until we engaged in large scale socialized education, most saints were entirely illiterate and thus totally dependent on whoever told them anything.... which of course created immense problems I realize that in the evangelical religion there is little focus on thinking historically - HOWEVER to truly manifest the fullness of Christ - the entire of human history needs to be considered My best to you in this endeavour PS - As you know - 1Tim3.14,15 we are informed that the CHURCH is the pillar and ground of truth.... Boy, for protestants that is a rough one isn't (and, PS, I am not a vaticanist - just honest with the text...🙂🙂)
@@jalapeno.tabasco I appreciate your awareness of the text, however, as noted in my comment below, there was no scripture, no book for centuries even millennia - and even if there had been there was no literacy among the common man until socialized education
@@greglogan7706 "there was no scripture, no book for centuries even millennia - and even if there had been there was no literacy among the common man until socialized education" so you're telling me NO ONE read the bible until socialized education ? when exactly did that happen?

Well it is an older class that I finally got encoded for the web. Timeless truth none-the-less. More to come!

Who is this professor?
Thank you sir! You are truly God sent!
Really enjoyed this lesson. I am preparing myself for seminary here in Australia.
Thank you for making this wonderful content available to lay people!!
Thanks brother for uploading all these courses. God bless you! Greetings from Colombia.
Reminds me of my days at Bible College. Love it.
Just found these.. thanks for posting. Greetings from Canada.
It is great to learn frombthe Master Seminary through such videos. Thanks to the Master Seminary.
The Greek Exegesis is the basic greek.
It'd be great if you supply the study guide of these lectures. God bless you bro..
Sad about his passing not so long time ago.... But even over my bad english I´ll try to watch whole playlist, because his speech is really motivational. Hope I can learn something.
thanks joshua ...God bless you....this is a great help to me
Sounds like solid advice. :)
It is true that the learning spirit is essential to understand the Bible in a better way. Thank you sir.
are there any video lectures on basic greek by The Masters Seminary?

When observing a single text is it incorrect to ask questions of that text in relation to the entire book?
+Fred Mcelroy you mean, searching for meaning in the light of the whole book panorama? Not at all, I think is even healthier. Because sometimes the book as a whole has a very definitive purpose.
+Esteban Glez yes that's exactly what I mean. like interpreting 1 Corinthians 6 with 1 Corinthians 1.
