  • 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've heard many a preacher claim Rom 13:4 gives the NATIONS the right to vengeance. I saw it said that anything in the bible that is italicized was added by the translators (in this verse execute is italicized in King James). I'm new to your site and would like some clarification. Thank ... [read more]
  • Hi again B____, Thanks for sending me The Bible study course of The United Churches of God. This church is the largest splinter group of the church I came out of back in 1973. I spent ten years under the law of Moses while in this man- made organization of Herbert and Ted Armstrong. I am a personal ... [read more]
  • Hi Mike I have your article on the "law." It is very wonderful. I just have some questions about it. Didn't Jesus come in our place so that we wouldn't have to bear the curse of the law? I understand that he came to fulfill what the law and the prophets testified to "types and shadows, fulfillment ... [read more]
  • 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]
  • Hi Mike, How's it going? It's certainly been a while, but I generally only get to this computer on the weekends nowadays. I've been having a discussion with a friend of mine about faith and the free will of man. I know what you believe (it's the same as me); I've read your article. But I'd like som... [read more]
  • Mike Leviticus 19:18 is the Golden Rule, which Christ quoted. And Moses commanded them to kill people in an act of judgment, oftentimes those He (God) commanded be killed were those who were worshiping Molech - which required child sacrifice. This was not to be done all through the ages. Governme... [read more]
  • I wonder why each time we think everything will be fine now, that nothing can happen anymore to shake us, trials are happening. Is it really in the will of God, or is it the devil sending us those trials. Thanks, P____ The scriptural answer to your question is that "it really is in the will of God... [read more]
  • Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which we... [read more]
  • Hi J____, 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 admi... [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)? World = Kosmos = system, arrangement or organization. Does kosmos hav... [read more]
  • Hello Mike, I've read with interest several of your articles, especially those regarding God's sovereign will and man's supposed "free" will. In this respect I ask the following question: If God has predetermined who He will drag to Christ in this age, how is it possible for one's name to be blotte... [read more]
