  • Hi Mike, It's been a while since we last talked via the wonderful internet, hope you and your family are well. Anyway, I'll be brief as possible. Could you give me your clear biblical opinion on demons, i. e, what are they? How do they operate? And are there really such things as curses that can br... [read more]
  • 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]

At WCG one of my jobs was Personal Correspondence, but it was always difficult to correspond through, at that time, CCMail, that is still the case. I became a member of WCG in 1970... [read more]

  • Hi Mike, I have written before, and I have a small problem that I am needing scriptures for. Right now I am sad and confused as what to do. I try not to go to this baptist church my husband goes to. I didn't go this past Sunday, and it made my husband mad. He said a mean thing in front of our girls:... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I find it baffling and hard to believe that NO orthodox church has the truth of scripture. Isn't there a single preacher in the denominational Church who would fall in the category of the 'elect' who knows what you are teaching from Scripture?" Yours Truly, S____ Hi S_____, The answer to y... [read more]
  • I will go line by line through this letter and give God's Word and contrast God's Word with the carnal minded reasoning of your friend. Your friend, as I myself once did, and all carnal minds do, fails to see the difference between the ability to choose based upon the causes he himself admits to in ... [read more]
  • I have posted an article entitled After The Counsel Of His Own Will. The title is taken from Eph 1:11, which says that all things are done after the counsel of God's own will. This is in accord with all other scriptures, like Rom 9:16: ... It is not of him who wills, nor of him who races, but of God... [read more]
  • by Mike Vinson A friend questioned the sovereignty of God when reading in Jas 1:13 that God did not tempt men and thought that therefore God is not responsible for evil, only the good things that happen to us. What James says is "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I'm reading your "Law Moses vs. Spirit" paper. I just finished the portion on divorce and what it really meant. Not to sound critical, as I have a great deal of respect for you, but you mention in 1 Corinthians 7:10 the clause "Not I but the Lord" but you don't mention the opposite in ... [read more]
  • Mike, I am glad that you are glad for me to help correct the scripture mistakes. Your article, After the Counsel of His Own Will, while I was reading and meditating every day it came to my mind like pop- up; I understood [ that all is] of God's will and nothing [ is of] men's will [ alone]. What wa... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I read your article "After the Counsel of His Own Will", and I found one mistake scripture. I could have ignored it, but you work very hard writing many articles, and I feel that I owed uit to you to let you know if I find a mistake. I am happy to be able to give it to you. See below that ... [read more]
