Winner’s Playbook

A radical look at the cause of, and identifying the sleight of men (KUBEIA in Greek) which works in craftiness with the goal of systematizing error or the brainwashing affecting so many in the Church today. 

Looking at the common sense solution to this intentional or unintentional brainwashing, which is understanding Scripture with the Holy Spirit.

Who decides what is essential or non-essential?

Great scholars or Jesus?

Was thinking about using this for an intro to the next episode but it was too HOT to wait.

Listen to it with ears to hear, eyes to see, and an understanding heart. Then, perhaps God will work the impossible in and through and with you, too.

What apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers do or should be doing.

Showing that what seems impossible, the unity of the faith, is going to be a reality, by God.

Addressing the hurdle of understanding Communion, a doctrine which seems to divide but will be a doctrine which unites the saints. Once we clear this hurdle everything else should be a piece of cake.

Exhortation to look at Scripture, what Jesus said and what the apostles and prophets wrote, without bringing any theological baggage to it, to simply read what is written.

A detailed explanation of what Communion is and a fresh look at what is written in John Chapter 6, specifically Verses 62 and 63, with understanding.

If you have no reference to a reality beyond what you can perceive with human wisdom everything spiritual will be foolishness unto you.

If you never experienced it how do you know it exists?

Is a Scriptural definition of the ontology of Communion sufficient for you?

Discovery vs debates.

Our competency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). 

Examining the purpose for the use of a metaphor.

Taking a look at what Jesus said about getting this food which remains, abides, endures unto life eternal, in John 6:27-35. Testing the popular Memorial view of Communion (Acts 17:11) after hearing a professor at a Baptist Seminary giving a forceful argument for the metaphoric representative reasoning behind it. Taking a look at just what Jesus was saying without trying to insert theology or prove one thing or another. Simply listening to what Jesus was saying and tracking with him.

Beginning the dialog and introducing the dots to connect, to get an understanding of the Scriptural meaning of Communion, the Eucharist, or the Lord's Supper without any theological narrative, or twists, just the biblical information. A doctrine which appears to divide but will actually be a doctrine which unites, when the biblical text is understood, with the help of the Holy Spirit, of course.

In the Winner's Playbook we are going directly to God's Word to get an understanding of what it means with a view to the unity of the faith, the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, like-mindedness, which can only be re-discovered and kept through an understanding of the truth. The truth which sets you free is discovered by those who abide, remain, continue in Jesus's words, those who are truly Christ's disciples. Helping the Church to grow up by untangling the confusion of doctrinal ignorance and division.
