That doesn’t appear to ever be the case in Scripture. 6. 1:04:20 {Unruly Children: Disqualified?} Explain & define how debauchery in a man’s child or children disqualifies him as an elder.

    What bomb are we about to drop on The Passion Translation? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 78)

    Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 0:17 {TPT – Breaking Info} What BOMB are we about to drop on The Passion Translation? 2. 25:04 {Calvinism Proven False?} Do you think a good argument against Calvinism is the fact that God chose the people of Israel but clearly some Israelites didn’t choose God back? 3. 32:00 {No Christian Clothing Allowed} I’m a teenager who just got a job at a café and my boss said I can’t wear any religious clothing because some people might be offended. How do I handle this situation in a biblical way? 4. 35:19 {Illegal = More Abortions?} How do I respond to people who claim that it’s better for abortion to be legal because abortion rates are reportedly higher in places where it’s illegal? 5. 42:31 {Gentiles & Moral Laws} In Acts 15, the apostles only list four laws but exclude other moral laws (like murder). Also, Paul later says idol meat is okay. How then do I take this passage as a Gentile believer? 6. 48:22 {Given or Must Be Given?} If the Father already “gave” believers to Jesus (John 6:37), why must Jesus still “acknowledge” them before the Father (Matthew 10:32)? Isn’t the Father already fully aware of who belongs to Christ? 7. 52:41 {Did They Know the Divine Name?} Why does Exodus 6:3 seemingly say the patriarchs did not know the divine name when Genesis 28:16 records that they did? 8. 59:21 {Trajectory Hermeneutics?} If we can infer slavery abolition as the outworking of biblical principles, even though not commanded, why can't we similarly infer full female leadership? When is it okay to apply trajectory hermeneutics, and when is it not? 9. 1:10:02 {Unclean Spirit Still Present?} In Acts 16:16-18, how/why would the woman with an unclean spirit be able to correctly confirm the truth of what Paul is preaching before Paul commands the spirit to leave her? 10. 1:18:40 {Accepting & Embracing God’s Love} How do I actually accept Gods love? I know the Bible says He loves me, but how do I accept and receive it with confidence? 11. 1:23:50 {Brian Simmons’ Christology} More on Brian Simmons’ theological errors. These channels are still exposing Cover-up Culture even while I'm on break: ‪@MinorProphetsPodcast‬ (stay tuned for a coming video on Brian Simmons and The Passion Translation) ‪@WakeUpandWinPodcast‬ ‪@drroncantor‬ My Women in Ministry Playlist: Click Here Ben Schettler is here - show him some support: https://www.thecenterfortruthinlove.org/ Maven (helping train young people): https://maventruth.com/ Bring your own questions to the next live chat (put a Q at the beginning of the live chat comment and try to make it something that could be easily understood and include important references) https://BibleThinker.org

    Why You Won't Be Seeing Much of Me for a While: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 77)

    0:00 - Intro 1. 0:13 {Where’s Mike Going?} Why won’t you be seeing much of Mike for the next 3 months, and how can we help support Ben Schettler who was recently attacked while speaking? 2. 16:36 {If We’re Priests & Kings, No Alcohol?} The Bible doesn’t condemn drinking alcohol, but the two types of people in the Old Testament forbidden to drink were the priests and the kings. Since we are now both, shouldn’t that apply to us? 3. 25:25 {Trusting God On Earth} I struggle to trust God with my earthly life. I trust Him with my soul and salvation, but since He never promised comfort here, I am unable to depend on Him for my future, like finances or marriage. Any advice? 4. 33:34 {Bad Trees Bearing Good Fruit?} How can we reconcile Matthew 7:15-20 and Matthew 21-23 (or do we even need to)? If a bad tree cannot bear good fruit, how can those with the appearance of good fruit be rejected? 5. 40:44 {Why did OT Jews Miss the Gospel?} I recently watched your Romans series and finished Romans 4. My question is, it seems Paul makes salvation through faith an obvious concept in the Old Testament. If so, then why did many Jews seem to miss it? 6. 53:39 {Universal Church: A Biblical Concept?} Is it true that in every example where the word “church” is used in the Bible, it refers to the local church? I’ve heard people say there’s no such thing as the “universal church” in the Bible. 7. 58:34 {Sharing Unverified Testimonies?} Is it okay to show, as proof of the efficacy of your ministry, testimonies that you have not or cannot confirm entirely, such as healings via a prayer stream? 8. 1:05:49 {Must We Always Pray Before Eating?} Should Christians always pray before we eat? 9. 1:12:00 {Where/How did Sin Originate?} How did evil enter the hearts of Adam, Eve, and even Satan, since all were created good and in perfect relationship with God? Where did any inclination toward sin or evil desire originate? 10. 1:16:32 {Implementing Spiritual Disciplines: The “How”} Do you have any advice on implementing the spiritual disciplines?
