  • What is Meant by the Word "Perfect"?

  • 19 years ago
  • Was Paul a "Wretched Man?" John wrote: Hi Mike: Have been reading through your series on Revelation, 1-2-3. I appreciated the detail and the work that you have put into it. I am struggling with this totally new understanding that I am slowly acquiring. The understanding of deeply symbolical termi... [read more]

  • Living Soul

  • 19 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I have been thinking about the verse that tells us God made man in his image, and how this really refers to the end result of mankind, and is not representative of Adam in the flesh and us in the flesh. With this verse, it appears to me this could also be seen that way. Gen 2:7 So then Yah... [read more]

  • The Thorn In The Flesh of Paul

  • 19 years ago
  • You asked about Paul's thorn in the flesh. Here is that scripture: 2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Co 12:8 For thi...

  • Christ As The Messiah

  • 19 years ago
  • Mike, I have enjoyed the Truths you have pointed out. I desire to believe "All" will be saved, but so many verses cast doubt onto this. Questions: 1. Are there any that go on to Destruction? I know you repeat many times 1 Timothy etc. about "All" will be saved. This is the Fathers will, but doesn't ... [read more]

  • Life Comes Out Of And Through Death

  • 19 years ago
  • Mike, I noticed on your article Law of moses vs. the law of the spirit that you have a major error. On the summary section there is a quote from Heb 5:6. I think you're referring to Heb 5:7. You quote it as saying "save him through (NOT FROM) death...." However, every translation I have looked at ha... [read more]

  • The Meaning of A Resurrected Body

  • 20 years ago
  • Hi Mike! I have a question regarding the future resurrection. It is my understanding that you teach that in the resurrection, only our SOUL is revived and NOT our mortal bodies. Is this what you believe? If so, how do you explain the following passage? Rom 8:11 Now if the spirit of Him Who rouses Je... [read more]

  • Adam Exist In The Flesh For Eternity?

  • 20 years ago
  • Has anyone ever asked the question why God has allowed all of this, from Genesis to Revelation, the "fall of man", "sacrifice of Christ", etc. to take place? For whose benefit was all this - man's or God's? Why not let Adam exist without the fall, etc? D____ Hi D____, Thank you for your question... [read more]

  • Made Subject To Vanity

  • 20 years ago
  • Hello Mr. Vinson, I greatly appreciate your work. Do you have anything condensed, that deals with Adam being a sinner before the fall. How can it be proved that he was a sinner before he ate of the tree? I mentioned this at a group that I go to, and it caused quite a stir. Where did the teaching of... [read more]

  • Made In His Image

  • 20 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I have been thinking deeply about the creation of Adam. I have come to believe that Adam was created MORTAL and not IMMORTAL. I don't know what your position is on the subject, but here is why I believe what I do... perhaps you can straighten me out if I am wrong: God placed TWO trees in t... [read more]

  • Did Paul Have Free Will?

  • 20 years ago
  • Posted February 3, 2005 Hi. Mike, My husband and I have a question. We have read the papers on free will. We are trying to come to a conclusion on the whole issue. We think we do and then we run across another verse that brings questions to mind. Here are several verses that we can't figure out. Je... [read more]

  • Offering of Cain Was Not Accepted

  • 21 years ago
  • Mike, In your article on the Law, under the definition for Sin, you imply that Cain needed to bring a blood offering. I wanted to know how and why you come to this conclusion. From my study I can see that Cain did not bring the good fruit (from the tree and not of the ground) which underscored the ... [read more]
