@@MikeWinger 1 christ is not going to return and set up a kingdom on earth 2 God is not going to destroy this planet and make another one 1Co 15:45-50 ISV 45 This, indeed, is what is written: “The first man, Adam, became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual does not come first, but the physical does, and then comes the spiritual. 47 The first man came from the dust of the earth; the second man came from heaven. 48 Those who are made of the dust are like the man from the dust; those who are heavenly are like the man who is from heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the likeness of the man who was made from dust, we will also bear the likeness of the man from heaven. 50 Brothers, this is what I mean: Mortal bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what decays cannot inherit what does not decay. 2Pe 3:7 ISV Now by that same word, the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire and are being kept for the day when ungodly people will be judged and destroyed.

And it was an accident, wasn’t it?? Way to go Sarah!

@@seaglass.jen86 Haha! I needed 1 more for the list but 2 really grabbed my heart. Normally in that situation I’d make the tough decision to “bump” a different question from the list and replace it, but I didn’t have the heart today to remove another skeptic’s question, so I sent them both, especially since he told me beforehand that the number today would be flexible. I love that it’s 21 Qs on episode 21!

So many juicy theological details in this video! My favorite Friday Q&A ever❤️

Welcome

@@NMemone Mike does not know what he is talking about Paul said the word of God can't be taught out of intelect but by the demonstration of the holy Spirit and the original word of God was written in Hebrew and in Greek and Mike knows neither

@desireehelms8012 Which one are you fluent in? Hebrew or Koine Greek? Or both?

That’s the good thing. We can disagree on minor things and still treat other well. He is masterful at being humble , yet brilliant

I think many of us can copy this exact comment 😇 He's helped me greatly with applying Matt 10:16 with disagreements inside the body.

Mike Winger is a false teacher and he is listed as a false prophet and Jack Mack 77 plainly exposes Mike Winger as a false teacher because Mike Winger fancies him self as an intelect and you can't teach the word out of intelect all those who do are false teachers and the Apostle Paul says so in first Corinthians 4 and 5

How about thinking logically and rationally instead? Seems like it'd be far more useful in every day life. Also the hilarity of your "one true religion" even needing apologetics.

@@Israphel776go to question 5 buddy

You mean you are Christians, have you ever read Jesus Doing what this Mike is doing? And you feel he is Christian, wow

Not that guy again 😂 Sorry but he’s not all he’s cracked up to be. Leave the atheists alone 😂 you can be one if you never even hear of faith

100% agree its a great book

​@handsomemonkeyking5299 yes, Turek is rude, aggressive and ill-informed.

Frank is a logical man. But I don't understand why people keep saying he's rude. Is he right? Don't be so soft and weak, take the knowledge regardless of how it's presented.

@@Theonly_Onyx there is no knowledge and certainly no logic: just a few passive-aggressive tricks (like yours: "don't be soft and weak") which his interlocutors let pass. The day of these hucksters is passing, fortunately.

Have you ever done Bible Study Fellowship? It’s a weekly study, discussion group, lecture, and notes with groups worldwide! It’s helped me grow in my biblical understanding and preparing me for sharing my faith with others. Starts up again in early September (and goes til May) and we’re studying Revelation this year!

@@ArmoredE6 keep going!! There will be more people that you encounter and you really don't know what kind of thoughts you provoke when you speak to others. We don't always get to see the fruits of our labor. Keep going!

same i try to post proof on reddit and got swarmed by people that just told me I'm wrong and when i ask please give me your proof evidence that i am wrong they start to be very aggressive and dishonest not answering when the whole post is about that. Unbelievers no matter what you show has evidence even from expert will reject God and find any excuse even stupid one to not check them. There is a verse from God to waste more time on them has others need saving

@@katiemorrow2398 thank you! I just don't know when I should sort of back off on the close friends and whatnot because I can clearly tell that I'm just annoying them and I want to stay in their good graces so that I can continue to love on them and hoping eventually that they will realize all of the trials and tribulations that I've gone through and kept my face and continued searching for the truth and stay hungry for the word. I'm not trying to appease them per se but I'm just thinking maybe I need to back off a little bit. However that's difficult I guess it's the Holy Spirit nudging me because every time I talk or text them I can't even get a paragraph or sentence out without talking about God LOL

@@funnygaming2672I’m an unbeliever. Does this god know that if a god ever revealed itself to me that I would no longer be an atheist?

​@@reality1958"No sign will be given to [this generation] except for the sign of Jonah" - Matthew 12:39 That is to say, God has already given you more than enough evidence. That you reject it shows that you have a heart issue, not an intellectual one.

I recommend impact video ministries and DLM Christian lifestyle, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist or for some provocative thoughts and healthy speculation, grace digital network as well. If you don't mind calvinism, Desiring God does a great job

We have copies of John's writings. We do not have the original letters that the gospel writers and Paul sent out.

​@@NickTimmerright, the copies are from the 1st century still right ? There is parts of John's gospel written on a page the size of a credit card, my point is zero of the about 6k manuscripts are from the 3rd or 4th century. So I don't see your point ? There is this channel called "everything NT" I would love to see you test your new testament knowledge with a person who can back up there claims, I am no scholar or koine greek historian, however i am not completely ignorant on the matter, so again what is the point of your comment so I can better engage ?

The most difficult to answer is about Jesus's failed prophecies. I struggle to answer that one.

@@ryanrevland4333 Whatever you’re referring to likely hasn’t come to pass or has been misinterpreted

@ayiir7 Atheists usually quote Matthew 10:23 and 16:27-28. I have to admit, it certainly reads like Jesus predicted His return within the lifetime of His disciples.

@@ryanrevland4333 I’ve always assumed that Matthew 16:37-28 is referring to either A) a few humans that genuinely won’t die because limit God’s supernatural abilities and will in your mind? Or B) it’s a metaphor for the moving of The Holy Spirit within the people of Israel because scripture has referring to us believers as the Church or Christ’s Kingdom. I’d just spend some time researching that one if it’s weighing on your spirit. Doesn’t seem too complex to get to the bottom of.

​@@ryanrevland4333 While I'm not sure of a solution to Matthew 10:23 off the top of my head, I think that Matthew 16:28 is referring to the Transfiguration rather than the 2nd coming of Christ. Jesus says this same line in Luke 9:27 and Mark 9:1, and on all 3 occasions this statement is immediately followed by an account of the Transfiguration where God's glory and kingdom are shown to Peter, James, and John. As additional support for this, Jesus specifically says that they will not die *before* they witness the kingdom of God, implying that they will die after witnessing it. If the kingdom of God in this context referred to the second coming, then they wouldn't die after. Hope this helps!

He’ll know one day! ☺️🙌

You need the Holy Spirit? Can you demonstrate the Holy Spirit?

A lot of good input here. I just question "we don't have to have a sabbath ". It's so simplistic to dump the entire old testament because of the new covenant. I've taught my children this: the sacrifices, the symbolic, and the ceremonies are no longer required. Jesus fulfilled them. The basic moral laws stand. The 19 commandments, for example, stand. Including the sabbath. God made the sabbath for man. It's a "get to" not a " have to" if you receive it with gratitude. Things like the mixing of cloth fibers thst people mock were symbolic of carnality and worldliness mixed with holiness (the holy and the profane). We don't have to follow that law because it's symbolic, but maybe we should because the church is excessively worldly today.

@@RCGWho does your god change? If not, then everything in the Old Testament still stands.

@@seanodowd4085 Well, yes and no. It's all still true. It still makes the New Testament make more sense. It still has promises and moral laws to obey. But you would be a judaizer if you insist the ceremonies, sacrifices, and symbolism fulfilled in Christ must be followed.

@@RCGWho what does “yes and no” mean? Can you demonstrate the Holy Spirit or not?

❤ God bless you, sister Tracy!

Awesome!

mike...it was shirley mc clain ....wentcrazy with this agenda.

"Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God" there is the answer. This is for a specific time they are asking for, the exodus happens later

They ask for it because God knows it will be denied. This way, no one can claim they didn't try to be more 'reasonable' when they demanded to leave. It was also to show Aaron and Moses how their hearts had been hardened. At least, that's how I interpret it

just because the journey will take 3 days doesn't mean it won't be permanent i fail to see how this implies it isn't permanent, or that they'll be coming back just because they outline how long the journey would take

But what if that's the topic they present. Do you concede or just change the subject and risk appearing evasive?

@@RCGWhoI think the answer he gave was the best! Because it pointed them to God still. All the atheistic claims still lead to the existence of an uncreated creator, and uncaused cause. Why not figure what or who that is? Then propose explanations of what this being could be. . It will always come back to a being that has the characteristics of God if truly they are interested in the topic or at least intellectually honest.

I’m not sure what Mike uses for his research, but I use the Blue Letter Bible. It’s a website and an app. It shows the Hebrew and Greek words.

@@Tina-ts9wv I would love a monthly book recommendations from Mike. Great idea

I would love Mike to have a book recommendation list on his website. Would be great to be able to see what books he likes for particular topics.

@@goldengaming177 that would be great to have a list like that, even books he feels are a good resource on a list 👍

I think people asked him this before and he said he’s reluctant to share because he doesn’t want his recommendations to be misconstrued as endorsements of a persons theology

@@kamarwashington thats understandable, I assumed he would make a disclaimer, but people seem to put words in his mouth or make edits for their narrative often :(

Huge

Americans are generally major sabbath breakers. They want to backpack, go to the beach, water ski, go to the mall etc. Or otherwise gratify themselves. I spent time in New Zealand in the 80s and the families I stayed with went to church, had family over to eat a pre-prepared meal, and then chatted, lounged, or napped the rest of the day. Shops were CLOSED. You did your shopping, baking, errands, or cleaning on Friday evening or Saturday.

Mike, please think about this question! It makes so much sense! Jesus kept the Sabbath! Makes no sense He would not want us to as well.

Exodus 20:11 “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested* on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” ‭‭ Jesus said “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”” Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭29 Jesus is our rest now. He fulfilled the Sabbath. He directs the thinking and doing of His sheep and keeps us in a state of constant rest. Other 9 commandments still stand as necessary, but for the Sabbath, we have a new rest that has been obtained thru Jesus.

Jesus being a fulfilment of the law is vastly different from what you are saying here. You are using the words fulfilment but in a completely different context of the original passage of “fulfilment of the Law”. Please look at the passage again. . Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” (Matthew 5:17-18). . Jesus says that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets. In other words, Jesus’ purpose was to establish the Word, to embody it, and to fully accomplish all that was written. “Christ is the culmination of the law” (Romans 10:4). . Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law in at least two ways: as a teacher and as a doer. He taught people to obey the Law (Matthew 22:35-40; Mark 1:44), and He obeyed the Law Himself (John 8:46; 1 Peter 2:22). In living a perfect life, Jesus fulfilled the moral laws; in His sacrificial death, Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial laws. Christ came not to destroy the old religious system but to build upon it; He came to finish the Old Covenant and establish the New. . This has nothing to do with absolving man from obeying any of the commandments. . But YES, Jesus is also the “Lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). He decides the true meaning of the Sabbath because He created it, and He is our Sabbath rest in the flesh. So if Jesus states a different way to “do the sabbath”, then so be it. It is not a dishonouring of the Sabbath, it is a fulfilment of it, but different from what it was. . Hence, there are no actual commandments that you do not have to obey any longer. Simply one that you do not observe as one would at the time it was given. . And what then did Jesus say about this change: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27). Jesus was restating the principle that the Sabbath rest was instituted to relieve man of his labors, just as He came to relieve us of our attempting to achieve salvation by our works.

Romans 2v12-16 I think

Imagine letting the patients run the asylum and calling anyone who wuestions it derogatory names.

I even believe that this distinction should have NEVER been made and it is fundamentally anti-Christian and anti-reality.

How do you know that Paul had it naturally?

@@wishyouthebest9222 Obviously Paul had a strong character from the very beginning. See Acts

2 Corinthians 10:5 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, " Every thought. All of them. It does take discipline. Also, put on the full armor of God. Pray through that passage in Ephesians. Be willing to pray out loud if necessary or go get on your knees or face in private if you can. Read more scripture than seems necessary. Meditate on it. Memorize it. Read great books.

1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

@@RCGWho Thanks for the effort you put into your response. May the Lord bless you.

Not everyone who sat under Jesus ministry committed their lives to Him. Many people in the New Testament record did not commit themselves to Christ even though they heard the same message from the apostles. Not Everyone was healed by Jesus or the apostles. There is the matter of faith, that is trust and the illumination by the Holy Spirt. There are often times in our lives when we are more open to hearing the gospel than other times. Romans states that our conscience and the world around us, nature, declare the existence of God. Not everyone will give their lives in Worship of Jesus/God but that does not give them an excuse to avoid punishment for rejecting Jesus. Read Romans. John 1v1-11 gives an explanation of the light darkness metaphor. And John 3v19. Hope this is helpful

Exactly. Matthew cracked open Chronicles and Kings and did a little copy pasta. He had to leave out a few names to fit the number he was going for

I think so as well. But regardless the situation had nothing to do with what God commands or wants. That was all jepthahs doing.

And if Abraham got to heaven by believing in God then why did God need to add Jesus into the mix at all? I understand that Abraham had extreme faith and trust in God that could be very difficult for most people, and He wanted to make it easier for all people through Jesus.. Then why wait thousands of years to give people Jesus? I don’t understand

Still Crazy 🤪

Exactly! Everytime I have to clarify this. Such man from fish evolution has been debunked but people continue to use the word evolution but to say micro-evolution aka adaptation within the SAME genus or species.

Thanks for the caps-lock words that really helps.... meaning; it is our lord and saviors choice who enters the kingdom and who does not.

I think you missed the point. As Mike said, it all leads back to God being the Creator. That’s the takeaway. Whether the Earth is young, or old, or whether God created the universe through the big bang, or didn’t, or whether evolution was part of God‘s creation, or wasn’t, none of that is a salvation issue. It’s not calling God a liar, simply because you’re not sure if the Genesis account is literal or not. And I’m sure as you will attest, not everything in the Bible IS literal. If you took it literally on flat earth, you would have to say the Earth is flat. But we know it’s not. Understanding that isn’t calling God a liar.

@@davegink9222 I find that riding the fence as an evolutionary creationist or theistic evolutionists or whatever they call themselves pleases no one (except themselves). Evolutionists aren't appeased by it and reject it. Creationist reject it. God knew people and where they'd go with this. So, in Genesis He was very detailed in His language to the point of redundancy. He said over and over, "And evening and morning were the.....day." No metaphor. NO room to assume a giant space of time. Unless you don't believe Him. Or don't want to be uncool among the educated. Or don't think He's able to do it as described. I can't speak for God, but I believe what we believe about this point is a much bigger deal than we're making it.

​@@RCGWho Agree. I love Mike Winger. He is one of my favorite Bible teachers but I think he has a bit of a blind spot here. He has also said that he hasn't really studied it yet. I have a feeling that if he did, like the women series, then he'd come away with a similar conclusion. That the scholarship of those who try to combine the Bible with some form of evolution, old earth, etc is similar to that of the egalitarians (but maybe worse).

​@@davegink9222 I'm not saying that you are calling God a liar but understand that most of the people preaching evolution/old earth are calling God a liar or saying He doesn't exist or maybe a god exists but not the one of the Bible. Yes there are poetic expressions in Scripture. The earth is God's footstool; no one has ever taught that God has literal giant feet resting on the planet. But that doesn't mean that we can just dismiss whatever we don't like as poetry. There are clear indicators for when something is historically described and when it is poetic. Is this salvific? Depends on what you mean. Is the truth of original creation the core gospel itself? No. Is it impossible for someone who believes in evolution to be a Christian? No. But is it profitable? Is it impossible for someone who doesn't believe in Virgin births, angels, or church gatherings to be a Christian? I don't think so but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Is the 2nd coming the core gospel itself? Is there no problem if we just say that all of Revelation is poetic, not literal? What about lgbtq issues? I'm not saying that evolution/creation teaching is a salvific issue for you or every person. However, I have heard many, many people explain that ideas related to evolution are what keep/kept them from believing the Bible and accepting Christ. Humanism/Marxism/atheism have become the dominant religion of the west and many hundreds of millions are in fact being led away from Jesus because of their lies. How is that not a salvific issue for those people? Not much different than the people rejecting God's Word because of LGBTQ or because of the Judaizers in the 1st century. I think it is dangerous for the church to continue to ignore this.

Hey, man! That's me! There's a lot to unpack in my question that I wasn't able to mention, but more to what you just commented on...that philosophy doesn't make sense in light of John 5:24 and 1st John 5:13. The Bible says that we can KNOW that we have eternal life, right? And that once we believe, we are immediately passed from death into life, right? So how does what you said make any sense? If i kill somebody AFTER I am saved, am I still saved? Like, if I don't show "receipts," as you say, what then? I mean, are YOU saved? Do you really know that? I mean, you could fall away at any second, right? Pride cometh before a fall, bro. So, you could do some horrible stuff, so do you REALLY know that you're saved? No, cause you don't know if you'll fall. This CONTRADICTS the verses I cited above. This is one of the many reasons I lost my faith.

@@LandonMetochoi Hey Landon! I think that Ephesians 2:8-10 really clear this up: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ We see from these two verses that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. Now if we read on just one verse ahead in Ephesians 2:10 it says: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV The keyword in this verse is “should.” As believers in Jesus Christ, we should do good works but we do not have to in order to obtain salvation. We are justified (saved) by believing the gospel, which is simply stated in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, and we are continually being sanctified by choosing to do good works throughout the rest of our life as believers. Once we are justified, we now have the ability to either walk in the Spirit or walk in the flesh because we do not lose our free will once we are saved. I hope that was helpful for you. I pray that you come back to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

@@eclipsesonic I just looked at the Hebrew. It's 100% "he." There is no grammatical possibility of "they." Those translations probably switch it to the plural in order to make clear that it's referring to Judah.

@@jml5100 Good observation.
