  • Who Should We Hate Spiritually?

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, In your reply to me you write: "So to hate our father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and our own lives, simply means that we are to love our parents and children and friends less than we love God. "He that loves father or mother more than me" in Mat 10, is n... [read more]

  • Where Should I Start In Studying Revelation?

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I just pulled up your site and found the revelation series. Did you have any particular study in mind or should I start from the beginning and catch up? Thanks, D____ Hi D____, By all means start at the very beginning. The key to understanding any scripture in found in the first few verses ... [read more]

  • His Anger and His Mercy

  • 15 years ago
  • Mr. Vinson, Maybe you can help me understand a few things. Why does God appear to always be angry in scripture if He is so full of mercy? We always hear and read God is love, but He seems to always be mad at His creation. How can hell have an end when Mat 25:41 says it is everlasting? And does this... [read more]

  • Who Will See That They Have Pierced Christ?

  • 15 years ago
  • Hey, Mike, I would like to ask if you can clarify Rev 1:7 where it says every eye shall see Him. I'm struggling with it because I was told that Jesus's return is only to his chosen. Those are the only eyes that will see him and that the other unsaved people have already seen Christ with their eyes a... [read more]

  • Amazed And Thankful

  • 15 years ago
  • "While salvation certainly was secured for all men through the finished work of Christ while He was on the cross, what that 'finished' work accomplished is that now, in spirit, Christ can live His life in us. We can now "fill up in our flesh that which is behind of the sufferings of Christ." It i... [read more]

  • And the Word Was God

  • 15 years ago
  • Dear Mike, It is my observation that when the New Testament says that one thing is another, it means either that the one thing represents the other, or else that the other thing represents the one thing said to be the other. Thus Christ is not literally an anatomical head over an anatomical body, ... [read more]

  • Why Did God Command Israel to Kill Infants?

  • 15 years ago
  • Mike, I don't mean to be asking atheistic questions, but I truly don't know why God would ever command any of his people to include the killing of infants along with their enemies. I don't expect you to give me the answer, but you must have asked these questions before. I would hate it if an atheist... [read more]

  • Who Did King David Call Lord?

  • 15 years ago
  • God bless you, Mike! I have just read what you have written about no man having seen the Father in O. T. In Luk 1:32 Jesus is called the Son of the Highest or Most High! HYPSISTOU in Greek, which in Septuagint translates ELYON in Hebrew. Melchizedek was priest of ELYON (Gen 14:18-24). In Dan 7:17-27... [read more]

  • Gods Left Hand

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I just though of something that I had sort of known before but just had some scriptures come to mind that confirm it, and I just wanted to share them with you. Satan is the left hand of God and Jesus is the right hand, and both work for God to do his work. 1Pe 3:22 Who [ Christ] is gone int... [read more]

  • Hated of Men Like Christ

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I never fully understood why I would be hated of all men, but now I do. I have one question of which I think I know the answer, but I will ask it anyway for confirmation. I do not celebrate Christmas, Easter, father's and mother's day. Not celebrating my children's birthdays will be hard. I... [read more]

  • Are All Things Really Ours?

  • 15 years ago
  • Mike, It serves no purpose for me to take the argument over the wheat and tares parable and the proper use of it into other scriptures that are not directly related to the word "tares". The word has a specific meaning, the parable has specific, even a narrow definition of meanings from the Lord hi... [read more]

  • Is The Garden of Eden A Mere Parable?

  • 15 years ago
  • Mike, Do you think the story of the Garden of Eden is a literal story or a parable? J____ Hi J___, Thank you for your question. You ask: Do you think the story of the Garden of Eden is a literal story or a parable? The answer is that like every parable or type and shadow of scripture, the creation s... [read more]
