  • The Sword Of The Letter

  • 15 years ago
  • Mike, I think I have learned a some helpful truth regarding the question I sent you a few days ago. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Al...

  • Two Creations

  • 15 years ago
  • Dear Mike, Like you I was a member of the WCG and left in 1994 when the church tried to introduce the trinity. At that time I prayed to God and told Him that if he would teach me His truth, I would discard my current beliefs and accept what He would reveal. I have been taught since then that God is...

  • Is The Face of the Deep Spiritual?

  • 15 years ago
  • Mike, Can you tell me how a "day" is literal in Genesis as a first type but "face of the deep" is not? YBIC, M____ Hi M____, The word 'day' is qualified by "the evening and the morning" six times, to tell us it is a 24 hour day under discussion. As far as "the face of the deep" is concerned, it is b... [read more]

  • The Prayer Of Faith Shall Save The Sick

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi there Mike, I hope this email finds you in good health and good spirits? Recently I was asked what I make of this particular scripture: Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And...

  • New Jerusalem Down From Heaven

  • 15 years ago
  • Tell me something, Mike, If heaven is in us and not somewhere 'up there', then why do the Scriptures say... 'one being in Rev 3:12...'new Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven'? This is not a question of disbelief, just a query. J____ Hi J____, Thank you for your question. You ask: If heaven is i... [read more]

  • The New Testament Versus The Old

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I was reading through the Law paper again, and I had a thought on some of these differences. My observation is that I see clearer and clearer just how different the two laws are. My question is this. When you read through the laws and concepts of the Old, you always read stuff like: 'You wi... [read more]

  • Why The Spiritually Blind Cannot See?

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, I have been discussing the matter of free will with a religious friend of mine. I told her that without discord we could never understand harmony! "But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." I the... [read more]

  • The True Mark Of The Beast

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, I am almost convinced that the events of the end will mimic the events of the beginning. As I continue reading and continue observing the signs of our times, I am almost certain that the Serpent of Old will come to Mankind and offer him "eternal life", "dominion over the earth", and all we hav...

  • What is the Fire Of The Lake Of Fire?

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, Thanks for pointing out those scriptures and trying to comfort me.  It helps a bit, and I will try to work on my attitude, though I'm still naturally bewildered and angry at God sometimes for treating me so harshly.  It doesn't feel like love, though I know I need to adjust my attitu...

  • The Meaning Of The Spirit In Man

  • 16 years ago
  • Hi Brother Mike, I understand your reasoning in arguing against the prevailing notion within Christian circles of an immortal soul. Howbeit, there is a peculiar Scripture verse that appears to be problematic, namely 1Co 2:11, which reads thus: "For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except th... [read more]
