I asked an ACTUAL scholar about hidden Hebrew meanings, Bible codes, & viral TikTok nonsense

You've likely seen a number of these on social media in some format. "Yahweh" is the sound of breathing... the Bible codes reveal 9/11... the first word of Genesis contains the entire Gospel... in Jewish tradition the 'folded napkin' meant Jesus was returning... Of the making of baseless Biblical claims there seems to be no end! So during a recent Dojo Discussion I had with Dr. Christopher Dost (you can follow him at @biblicallanguagesliteratur5079 ) one of the things we touched on was this phenomenon of Christians sharing bogus viral videos and teaching online and how to avoid it. Stay tuned for the full discussion where we covered all sorts of Hebrew-Bible-nerdy goodness! But for now, please enjoy this clip...and SHARE IT next time you come across one of these 'teachings'! :) * Chris' book "Jesus' Bible: A Concise History of the Hebrew Scriptures" is available at: https://tinyurl.com/3h5b32tz Check out the Dojo online store for t-shirts (such as the one JM is wearing in this video!), gifts, artwork, and more! https://www.zazzle.com/discipledojo ------ Go deeper at www.discipledojo.org Subscribe to the Disciple Dojo podcast for more in-depth teaching and discussions: SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/discipledojo Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/26BDZz70HmnT5eoD9BEKQ7 iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/disciple-dojo/id1002934837 Stitcher - http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=181458&refid=stpr Amazon - https://tinyurl.com/uz8dbfet Disciple Dojo is a 501c3 Nonprofit organization.
