Reductio ad absurdum of 'just copy Jesus': should we have 12 disciples, be itinerant, stay single, eat kosher, visit Jerusalem at Passover?

Bill Johnson's Theology and Movement Examined Biblically. 00:38:32 – 00:39:34

Mike extends the logical implications of the Jesus-only hermeneutic to show its practical absurdity

If the standard is 'only copy Jesus,' consistency demands: 12 disciples, itinerant ministry, celibacy, kosher diet, annual Jerusalem Passover pilgrimage. Mike argues this shows we need the full counsel of Scripture to understand how to apply the pattern of Jesus' life, not a myopic isolation of his earthly ministry.
