  • Four Stages Of Mans Free Will

  • 17 years ago
  • Mike, I was sent an article on loving God and free will. Interesting. The Reformers used to teach four stages of man's will – and that seems to clear up most of the discussion for those who can't accept scripture. Stage 1 – Pre- Fall – Adam and Eve - fully able to love God.  T... [read more]

  • Does His Sovereignty Extend To Babies?

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, Thanks for your response on the animal thing. I'm still struggling with this sovereignty issue. Although I probably know the answer already; are you saying that the answer of the tongue is true for every man, woman and child of all time, and if so at what age does that start? I mean is he...

  • He Is Not A Man Who Needs To Repent

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi!   The question that I have is about Gen 6:5-6. "The Lord saw how great was man's wickedness on earth; and how every plan devised by his mind was nothing but evil all the time. And the Lord regretted that He had made man on earth, and His heart saddened." I was wondering why it says tha... [read more]

  • The Meaning Of Genesis 6_6

  • Hi Mike,    I used to think I understood this verse when I believed in free will: Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. But God has graciously shown me this is true: Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,... [read more]

  • Is Christ God Or Is He Not God

  • 17 years ago
  • Mike, I am really confused right now.  In the many articles in the website, you have convinced me that Christ is God.  But when listening to the Spiritual Significance of the Color Blue Part 2 audio, (starting at the 52:54 marker), here is what you said: "It's a mistake to say that C...

  • Gods Two Amazing Miracles

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, Amazing how we have such difficulty accepting the truth, the tendency to accept the teachings of Babylon. THERE IS THE TRUTH RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, still there is a strong pull to revert to the accepted easy but sinful ways of the world. Your teachings encourage referring to the word. Thanks...

  • Who Suffers His Wrath?

  • 17 years ago
  • Mike Thanks for the answer to my email.  I agree with your response, and all of the verses you quoted. I hope I did not sound like I was disagreeing with the fact that we must live every word of God.  I believe that we all must go through all of plagues. I just realize that to count it all...

  • David And Bathsheba Not Stoned

  • 17 years ago
  • Dear Mike, I hope you and yours and doing well. I have always been puzzled by the account of David and Bathsheba. Here we have a man having intercourse with a married woman, and the law clearly stating that under such circumstances both the man and the woman were to be put to death. Deu 22:22 If a m...

  • Our Days Were All Written

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi N____, Thank you for your question. You ask: "If God commanded not His subjects to do sacrifices and burnt offerings, (Jer.7:22 & Isa.66:1-4), then why would He require Cain and Abel to do the same? As you know, God tells us He changes not." Here are the verses you reference: Isa 66:1 ... [read more]

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike Whenever you have some time, would you mind explaining this verse or even point me to where I can find some clarification? I tried the 'search' on the IWWB and noticed that you have alluded to this verse, but could not find anything more.  Mat 18:18  Truly I say to you, W... [read more]

  • Not My Will But Thine Be Done

  • 17 years ago
  • Dear Mike, Several weeks ago I sent a question re: karma in the bible and you were kind enough to reply.  I also thanked you for helping me to understand the total sovereignty of God.  And I shared with you how that knowledge has helped me to be able to forgive. Somehow, my mind wants to connect ... [read more]
