  • Hi Mike, Why did the Jews refuse to come to the wedding feast? Was it because they chose to put other things ahead of their Messiah?

  • Mike Thank you for receiving my message.  I have  a question. Does God judge people living in the age of Grace while they are still on the earth?  It seems  that sometimes everything  goes wrong.  When this happens, are we to assume that God is bringing judgment up... [read more]

Why does God so love the world in Joh 3:16 (Greek: kosmos, Strong's # 2889) but 1Jn 2:15 tells us to not love the world (kosmos) or the things of the world (kosmos)?
