10 Questions with Mike Winger (Episode 5)

christian foundation10 Questions with Mike Winger (all streams)

Welcome to the new weekly stream! 10 questions every Friday at 1pm Pacific time. Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 1:32 {Did Jesus Leave the 99 in Danger?} Regarding Matthew 18: 12, does Jesus know the 99 are safe when He leaves to find the 1? I’m trying to understand how this is responsible. Should we not do things for the greater good, but for the 1? 2. 14:53 {Are We Living in Satan’s Deception?} Have you heard of the theory that we're already living in Satan's short season of deception from Revelation 20:3-8? Some of the ideas are intriguing, but most also claim extra conspiracy baggage, e.g., the "mud flood" and much more. 3. 24:45 {Markan Sandwich in James?} Could James 1: 13-18, 1: 19-27 & 2:1-13 be similar to a Markan sandwich? If so, would it be correct that the focused interpretation of the 2 breads should be “Do not accuse God” of: 1. Tempting us to sin, 2. Not creating people equally? Can you explain the meat relative to the bread? 4. 35:53 {Does Satan Know his End?} Does Satan know he is going to lose? People say, “Satan just wants to take as many people down with him as he can.” Does he/can he know Scripture? 5. 43:29 {Strategic Evangelism to Strangers} How do you initiate sharing the Gospel with a stranger? Is it best to be direct (e.g., “Can I share the Gospel with you?”), or would you recommend a more gradual approach? 6. 47:30 {Different Views on Communion} Have you considered differing views on communion? I’ve just recently learned there are more than just the typical Baptist, Lutheran, and Catholic views. Some believe in Real Presence in spirit, not corporeal. 7. 50:30 {Does Acts 13 Prove Calvinism?} I'd like to hear your thoughts about Acts 13: 48. It seems to contradict the idea that God wants everyone to be saved and that everyone has the same opportunity/free will to believe in Him. 8. 58:15 {Is the Father “Higher Up” than Jesus?} Many Scriptures sound as if the Father and Jesus have different authority. Does the Father have a higher authority than Jesus (John 14: 28, 1 Corinthians 11:3, Matthew 28: 18, Mathew 10: 40, Matthew 20: 23)? 9. 1:05:25 {Living Productively & Overcoming Bad Habits} My apartment is a mess, I wake up late, I eat junk food, I'm too lazy to read the Bible and I feel like I know a lot about God, but I don't feel like His daughter. How can I turn my life around? 10. 1:11:55 {Mark vs. Matthew – Contradiction?} Can you explain what some say is contradictory between Mark 9: 38-41 (not against us = for us) & Matthew 12: 30 (not with me = against me) & how that applies to NAR/false teachers who profess Jesus?
