Rom 3:1
by Mike Vinson
Much in every way is the answer, but an explanation is given as to why the Jew has this advantage: For first indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God (Rom 3:2 Concordant Version).
The advantage of being Jewish was that they were the first to hear the gospel. Th... [read more]

Dear Mike,
Please receive my thoughts concerning the "last 7 plagues" talk you gave in Michigan. I've had extremely mixed ideas as to the coming out of Babylon as being a long- drawn out process that will never be accomplished until my physical death or Jesus' return. (Not to s... [read more]

Mike,
I have been reading the Revelation paper, and I know this is ahead of where you have written, but this makes it sound like the chosen are actually quite a large number, but my guess is that in comparison to all humanity it's only a few. As pointed out, the angels are actually us, the elect. A... [read more]

Thanks Mike,
I would be grateful, if you could answer me one more question before I make a final decision. I wrote a letter to some loved ones, just to explain how I feel, about us not being able to agree on God's word; how this did not bring Glory to God. I said to them we are not in a... [read more]

Get the audio
We are in Mat 22 where Jesus is talking about the kingdom of heaven. All of the parables are about the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is the theme of the entire Bible, from Gen 1:1 to Rev 22, through the last verse of that book. It is presented to begin with as a conflict bet... [read more]

Hey Mike,
I really enjoy reading everything you write. I recently have been given the eyes to see the things of the spirit, and my brother introduced me to your site. Question: Are all those who are given the 'eyes to see' God's elect? Personally, I don't think so, but from what I rea... [read more]

I have only just come across it, but already read a number of your articles and email answers to questions.

Hey Mike,
Could you give me some insight about the parable of the ten virgins.
God Bless you!!

Sure J____,
The five wise symbolize those who are chosen out of the many called. The five foolish symbolize the many called. Percentages are not the subject here. Lack of God's spirit is what is in... [read more]
