Diploma in Biblical Hebrew Studies
Uncover hidden meanings in the scriptures by learning the biblical languages that will allow you to read ancient texts as they were written centuries ago. Suppose we understand the Bible (Torah) to be the "WORD" of our Creator, then we should conclude that YHVH, our FATHER, Adam, his Woman, and their descendants commutated (spoke) with a language. Could this language we call the original Hebrew(Cross Over) be that language?

Doctor of Ministry Degree in Biblical Hebrew Studies
COMING SOON
Doctor of Ministry student becomes Rabbi ( "my master" ). Rabbis are required to attend rabbinical school, graduate program. A Rabbi is not an occupation found in the Hebrew Bible. Ancient generations did not employ related titles such as Rabbi or Rav. to describe either the Babylonian sages or the sages in Israel. The title of "Rabbi" grew out of the Hebrew term "MShT" meaning servant or "Minister" (Gen 39:4, Ex 24:13, 28:35) with the "mash'hhah," the "holy anointing" (strong h4888)
"My people were silenced for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being a priest to me; seeing that you have forgotten the Torah of your God, I, too, will forget your children." (Hoshea 4:6)
WHY study Ancient Hebrew ?
Ancient Hebrew of the Bible is "lost in the translation." Ancient Hebrew of the Bible reveals the Living meaning of many important understandings in your Bible. Which would you prefer, White bread or Full Grain Whole Wheat bread ? Both types of bread can provide sustenance and fill your belly, but the difference between the Original Ancient Hebrew text and “YOUR” English translation is like White bread, which has gone through extensive refining that can provide sustenance but lacks the Original Nutrition for LIFE; when the text is studied from the Original Ancient Hebrew text, the WORD comes to LIFE revealing the intended teaching.
- My people were silenced for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being a priest to me; seeing that you have forgotten the Torah of your God, I, too, will forget your children. (Hoshea 4:6)
- "know that man shall not live by bread alone, but man shall live by every word coming out of the mouth of YHVH." (Deu. 8:3)

"AUDIT" most undergraduate courses:
Joshua Bible College understands that not all of GOD's people are called to put the time and effort into earning a degree in a Biblical discipline. JBC has heard these requests and has responded by creating the Enrichment Program of Soul Care. A student can "AUDIT" most undergraduate courses.
What Does It Mean to "Audit," a Class? Students who audit a class enroll in a course for no credit but typically must still pay for the class. While auditing a course, you will have access to all class materials but not be required to complete homework or take any exams. "AUDIT" indicates that the individual merely has received teaching rather than being evaluated as having achieved a given standard of understanding of the subject. The term "AUDIT" is Latin, translating as 'he/she hears.' In other words, the "audit" student has experienced the course but has not been assessed.
Some students audit a class merely for enjoyment, including purposes of self-enrichment and academic exploration, with no need or desire for academic credit. Sometimes this technique is employed by individuals who wish to take a specific course without the risk of under-performance resulting in a poor or failing grade. This may be helpful when reviewing a long-unstudied subject or when first beginning or exploring the study of a discipline where one has little experience or confidence.

Min 205 LUKE
This course is a comprehensive study of the Book of Luke, highlighting significant issues. The author describes his book as a "narrative" (diegesis) rather than a gospel and implicitly criticizes his predecessors for not giving their readers the speeches of Jesus and the Apostles. These speeches were the mark of a "full" report, the vehicle through which ancient historians conveyed the meaning of their narratives. Here he informs Theophilus of his intention to lead his reader to certainty through an orderly account "of the events that have witnessed among us." However, he did not intend to provide Theophilus with a historical justification of the Christian faith – "Did it happen?" – "What happened, and what does it all mean?" Luke's understanding of Jesus Yehoshua (Jesus), from a Torah perspective – his "Christology" – is central to his theology.
Min 206 ACTS
This course is a comprehensive study of the Book of Acts, highlighting significant issues.

Min 209 HEBREWS
This course is a comprehensive study of the Book Hebrews, highlighting significant issues, according to the author, which argues that the Torah, the cornerstone of the fathers' beliefs and traditions, had played a legitimate role in the past and is not superseded but a renewed covenant that applies to Gentiles. However, a growing number of scholars point out that the terms Gentile, Christian, and Christianity are not present in the text and posit that Hebrews was written for a Hebrew audience and is best seen as a debate between Judah and the House of Israel. The Epistle presents Yehoshua (Jesus) with the title's "pioneer" or "forerunner," "Son" and "Son of God," "priest," and "high priest." The Epistle casts Yehoshua (Jesus) as both exalted Son and high priest, a unique dual supporting the theme of Mathew, John, Luke, and Paul.
Min 210 CHRISTOLOGY

Different denominations have different opinions on questions whether Jesus was human, divine, or both. And as a Christ/Messiah, what would his role be in freeing the Jewish people from foreign rulers or in the prophesied Kingdom of God, and in the salvation from what would otherwise be the consequences of sin? The earliest Christian writings gave several titles to Jesus, such as Son of Man, Son of God, Messiah, and Kyrios, all derived from the Hebrew scriptures., highlighting significant issues.
Min 211 EARLY CHURCH HISTORY
The responsible theological scholarship recognizes that Christianity has always been a more complex phenomenon than some realized, the variety of worship services, theological languages, and structures of organizations. But not all historical events had an equal influence on the development of Christianity. The historical experience of several centuries of Christianity shaped subsequent Christianity in an extremely critical manner.
