Session 225B the Moot Men examine the love of God from the quantum perspective and as related to John 17:22-23. The focus is on two aspects of this reality. First is the unchangeable love of God as related to current state. Second is what is called in the quantum world, the role of “The observer.” […]
Session 225A is the first of two parts where the Moot Men explore what Jesus is talking about, (glory given, perfection in unity, oneness, I in You, You in Me and they in Us) from a Quantum Science perspective. The point of this is to frame what Jesus is talking about within the context of […]
In Session 224 the Moot Men arrive at verses 22-23 of John 17. Jesus continues to express His intent of oneness to be expressed by the faith community. Glory has been given so this oneness can occur. The oneness is to come to full expression in what He labels as unity. The unity as expressed […]
In Session 223 the Moot Men examine a proposed method to place ourselves in a better state of mind in order to interacted with others. Of course our interest lies in the words of Jesus stated here in verses 20-21 regarding oneness. Here we look at some practical ways in which we might demonstrate oneness. […]
In Session 222 the Moot Men continue with John 17:20-21 examining even more closely Jesus’s words about oneness. In this session we compare two general ways we the members of the faith community interact with those outside of the faith community. This is followed by a discussion focused on how Jesus interacted with people.
In Session 221 the Moot Men examine John 17:20-21. This entire section, beginning in chapter 13 expresses Jesus’s final words prior to the cross event. He is preparing to leave. He is preparing His followers for His departure. And, He is promising His followers that something new is about to happen. Embedded within and stated […]
Session 220 was divided into new segments, (a and b) due to length. Their role in our study of John is to provide some current and interesting information which may be helpful in understanding what Jesus prayed to His Father, “I in you, You in Me and they in Us.” This is a remarkable statement. […]

As recorded within John’s Gospel account everything Jesus says and does is vitally important. However as we examine this latter portion of Chapter 17 my heart leaps with excitement. What does He mean, I in You, You in Me and they in Us? We plan to hover around this section of John for a few […]
In session 218 The Moot Men do a deep dive into the phrase “for their sakes.” In light of what has occurred within this gospel account and what is about to occur, we ask “What did Jesus mean when He said, for their sakes?” Thanks for joining in as we examine this phrase.
In week 217 the Moot Men look at the word “Sanctify.” Jesus, in prayer to His Father asks for the Father to sanctify His disciples in truth. Together we examine this text to determine what Jesus meant and what this means for us today.
In this session the Moot Men examine verse 15 of chapter 17 where Jesus makes a request to the Father to “keep them away from the evil one.” Of course this raises questions in our minds regarding what did Jesus mean by this. Here we make our attempt at understanding followed by meaning for us […]
In week 215 the Moot Men take a look at the subjects of Joy and Hate. These two subjects would not normally co-exist. However, Jesus brings them together in this text. Let’s examine how Jesus talks about these opposing ideas.
In week 214 we first look at Jesus who is expressing to the Father His heart felt care for His disciples. This is followed by how to understand the phrases “Son of destruction” and “so that the scriptures be fulfilled.” Thanks for joining.
In session 213, the Moot Men examine verse 11 in chapter 17 which I have entitled “Preparation for what next.” The what next is human mortality. Here Jesus is preparing for and showing us how to think about death, our own death.
In session 212, the Moot Men consider the scope of what Jesus is praying about to His Heavenly Father. Nestled within chapter 17 these two verses suggest the expansiveness of God’s intent, the projected role of the disciples and the target audience. Through this we are able to better understand the incarnation of Jesus.
In session 211B, a followup to A, the Moot Men continue with their examination of relationships. We do so by proposing two different ways of perceiving. The first is a common way of approaching this subject followed by how I think Jesus may have perceived relationships. We spend some time exploring each model and then […]
In session 211, remote from Crested Butte, the Moot men begin examination of Chapter 17 verses 4-8 in John’s Gospel account. We turn our attention to the subject of relationships. We examine a comparison between how we as people generally view relationships in contrast with a proposed idea of how Jesus views relationships. There is […]
In session 210 the Moot men begin Chapter 17 of John’s Gospel account. As Jesus turns a corner within the narrative we also are being asked to embrace what He is praying in light of what we have been examining in the prior chapters. In this very short section Jesus packs some very big truth […]
In session 209 the Moot Men wrap up chapter 16. Within this section the disciples collectively state their endorsement of Jesus. Jesus responds with what has and will occur followed by words of hope. What this exchange may appear to be on first reading may have a bit more to it. Thanks for joining in […]
