JBL is a Bible Study methodology which aims at identifying and furnishing the objectives of Christ, the greatest Christian Rabbi and main character of the Bible.

Religious Christianity has been like a dental plaque to us, it took the pattern of our dental formula and the enamel of our teeth. This clandestine error can only be detected by a dentist and it might cost a lot of money to cleanse it. due to fear of possible pain during dental cleansing some victims of this plaque resort to protect it and would not mind to live with it since it does not differ much with the dental formula.

JBL shall be the dentist to expose and solve this plaque.

Prologue

"I have used figures of speech to tell you these things, but the time will come when I will speak to you plainly about the Father! (John 16:25; John 6:26c). God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is" (John 4:24).

Proverbs 4:23 offers this advice: Be careful how you think, for your life is shaped by your thoughts.

Luke 6:45 says: A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things, for the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. JBL points people in the right direction so they can benefit from the treasure of their knowledge of the Lord and gain freedom.

The Leading Story

In John 6:25-35, there is an outline of Jesus’ public ministry. The story of the bread comes immediately after the death of John the Baptist was announced to Jesus (Matthew 14:1-15; Mark 6:14-29; Luke 9:7-9; John 6:1-14, GNB). Shortly after this announcement Jesus gave a banquet of miracle bread in the feeding of about 5 000.

25. When the people found Jesus (2 Chronicles 7:14) on the side of the lake, they said to Him, Teacher, when did you come here?

26. Jesus answered them, I am telling you the truth (John 14:6-7; John 17:14-19; Colossians 1:19), you are looking for me because you had eaten the bread and all you wanted (Luke 16:16c, the people are desperate to satisfy the flesh), not because you understood my miracles (Hosea 4:6).

There are a number of factors involved in being able to fully comprehend the Bible context. One should have a sound knowledge of the Father, the people of God and service to God (Numbers 6:27; Malachi 2:7; John 1:31; Acts 9:15; John 17:3; John 16:25; 2 Corinthians 4:1-15; 2 Corinthians 10:16; Colossians 1:28; Hebrews 6:1). Jesus’ miracles and God’s plan for humankind (Colossians 1:24-29) ought to be instilled in the heart of every believer.

27. The Lord Jesus Christ gives us this advice: Do not work for food that goes bad; instead work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food (Acts 8:26-31; John 4:34; Matthew 4:4) which the Son of Man will give you. God the Father, (Isaiah 9:6; John 10:30) has put a mark of approval on Him (Revelation 7, 9:4; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ezekiel 20:12; Revelation 20; Exodus 31:16-17; Romans 14:11; Hebrews 4:8; Matthew 11:27; Philippians 2:9-10; Colossians 2:10, 3:11). This mark is the righteousness of God (1 Corinthians 13:10; Mark 1:10-13).

28. [Faith alone is to believe in something objective or subjective, and to-have-faith is to be sure of the things we hope for in this objective or subjective matter of reference!] So they asked Him, What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?

29. Jesus answered, What God wants you to do is to believe in the One He sent (Hebrews 11:1; Romans 5:3-5 & 15:4-6; Matthew 5:33-37; Judges 11:35-36; Romans 8:28; Luke 10:2-3; John 14:1; Romans 10:9-21; Mark 16:9-11; John 20:11-18). Boast of the finished works of the Cross (2 Corinthians 10:16-17).

30-31. They replied, What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert (Exodus 16). Just as the scripture says, He gave them bread from heaven to eat!

32. Jesus answered them, I am telling you the truth. God isn’t man that He would lie (Numbers 23:19). What Moses gave them was not bread from heaven. It was the Father and I was in Him (John 14:8-14), who gives you the real bread from heaven (Matthew 4:4).

33. For the bread that God gives is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.

34. Sir they asked Him, "Give us this [not any other] bread always!" Even the prophet Ezekiel was confused. (Ezekiel 4:12)

35. ‘I AM’ the bread of life, Jesus told them, those who come to me shall never BE HUNGRY; those who believe in me shall never be thirsty (John 7:37-39).

About the Author

(biography/memoire)

I am the product of a poverty-stricken, remote village called Lekgophung (my Jerusalem! Luke 13:33-34). I am also the product of an illegal shebeen business, a mogetlo and mala-mogodu small business makatane le ntshwe harvests! Rutang is a revolutionary who found himself inspired by our Lord Jesus Christ, Paul the Apostle of Christ and Pastor Creflo A. Dollar (African-American) in their approach and way of addressing biblical language.

I, Justice Rutang Mosweu, was well known in the rural villages of Lekgophung and Supingstad in the North West as being very friendly, talkative and narcissistic. I do not regard those personality traits as being disadvantageous, but try to use them to release my full potential in improving my learning skills and digging deeper in research. In 2008 Kabelo Sedumedi told me that I was melancholic. What a joke! Yet I thank God for him in my life who during our long Bible-based debates said, Do not just make a statement, give a scriptural reference to support what you are saying! In my time I was a temple boy in Lutheranism, a soccer and tennis player and a full-time military practitioner.

I attended six schools during my academic career. My junior primary education began at Bronkhorstfontein Primary then Phalalo Farm School, followed by senior primary level at Mokgobjoa, Lekgophung. My high school education continued at Matthew Mangope, Supingstad. I registered for tertiary education and reached Level-4 as an Education Training & Development Practitioner (South African Safety & Security Education & Training Authority: SASSETA). I also studied for a National Diploma in Private & Forensic Investigation (Intec College). In 2009 I attempted to study theology, only to find that I had almost committed myself to a religious network. I stopped right there!

I am the father of two sons, Isago and Beira, from different mothers.

I love learning from other people and in the process, I met #OusMphoBridget-Rantao who inspired me a great deal. I quote: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond measure! It is our light, not our darkness that is more frightening. You might ask yourself, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Why should you not be all those? You are a child of God! Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others. This was written in 2011.

It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t keep her for long as she made a great contribution to my life. Whatever I received from you my baby, I won’t hide, especially what I hoped for with you regarding our kids #RIP baby!

Creflo Dollar describes fear as being more than just a figment of our imagination, or something that can be overcome merely by exercising willpower. The world would have us believe it is a normal part of life. However, there is nothing natural or normal about fear, and it should never be tolerated on any level. In fact, I would go as far as to say that fear is a cancer that affects people from all walks of life. It is a spiritual force that is designed by the enemy (religious Christianity; Revelations 12:3) to steal, kill and destroy (Dollar 2014: Introduction).

In 2012 during a discussion with F. M. Mothogoane on the HIV/AIDS pandemic, he said, It is not about the high statistics and the infection rate we hear or read about. It is about what we should do to remedy this unfortunate situation and our individual contribution to a potential solution, or jumble on even further!

"What an influence, sir, and what wisdom! I thought in silence. I didn’t realise that since my very first sermon in Boichoko Lutheran Church in 2005, I was moving towards the bread with my hands steadfast to the plough (Luke 9:62). A few years later, in 2007, I gave my best ever message at the School of Infantry. It was titled Sow a good thought."

In 2017 to the best of my understanding, Mrs Nero Nens Moyo reiterated along these lines: It is not about the poverty which surrounds us all today. The question we need to ask ourselves is this: ‘What are we doing about it?’ As a business mentor and health presenter, Nero always says that ‘the richest places in our beautiful country are the graveyards! People are inclined to be selfish with the rich information at their disposal and often die with it, unshared and useless.’ As far as I am concerned, all my social media conversations are not about poverty, crime, political err, religious err, or an HIV/AIDS pandemic. My main concern lies in my personal contribution to consequence management, especially with regard to the misuse of the Holy Bible and the religious chaos within the so-called church of Christ today!

Someone who conversed with me and offered her advice was my cousin, sister and colleague, namely Theodora Penyenye. One day she asked me: Shoes! Dilo tseo di buang tse o di kwala fatshe? (These things you are talking about [the bread game of words], do you write them down?) OH, okay, I’ll write a book and reserve you a copy! Is that a deal? I answered. It was in June 2016 when we spoke about this at my son’s hospital bedside. Karabo had been admitted with acute flaccid paralysis. This was a type of stroke, on a baby nog al!

In 2009 I asked my 85-year-old grandmother, "How would it be possible for me to live as long as you?’

She replied: taolo ya bone ngwanaka; taolo ele nosi ee nang le moputso! (#Obey the fourth commandment my son. It is the only commandment with a reward (Exodus 20:12). Respect your father and mother so that you live longer).

"Long live the spirit in you ma’Olady. Long may it live!" I said with a smile. She used
