My one friend who used to drink has always been one of the most honest Christian's I know, he's had it more difficult than most people, he's recently decided to get rid of all pharmaceutical medications, he's in this year been delivered from smoking and recently also drinking, but since I've known him I've looked up to him, the sincerity I see in this man blows me away and I only wish I could be as sincere towards God... I will forever try my best not to be some legalistic jerk who thinks he's upheld the law, I've done horrible things and I thank God that he's put up with it all...
@Itryeightyfive I used to be judgemental earlier in my walk, but the finger was always pointing right back to me, I think God is beyond gracious to us after all we've put him through, we find it difficult to even empathize with him and I think it's so sad, man I hope I weep when I see him, I want him to wipe my tears away, godly sorrow has always brought peace, I've never felt condemned by him in it, rather as if he's saying I know you did this and that but so what I'm greater than it all.
@Itryeightyfive Don't guilt trip yourself or feel shameful, he has given us freedom from that, I do know what you mean though 💪 our very nature is to be self destructive, and if anyone ever challenges me on things like the flood or whatever it might be, I tell them God did those things to preserve humanity, he didn't wipe us all out 😅 but we certainly would and sadly that's the direction this world is heading in once more, Jesus is coming soon and I'm excited for the years ahead, when in the past I was scared... I believe there's going to be much trial and tribulation but how awesome will it be to depend on God once more... Jesus is coming soon and I can't wait 💪
Itryeightyfive My friend, we are all broken. And that is exactly the state we need to acknowledge in order to fully embrace our Creator and Savior who loves us beyond understanding. He is your rest, your soft place to fall, your strength, and your place of refuge. Give your battles to Him.
Isn’t that the strange part? Some of the most outwardly broken believers also seem to be the kindest or most genuine. I wasn’t able to trust a seminary student, but I’ve always been able to trust the friends who drink and cuss a little too much sometimes.
That happens Alot.. You hear a teaching and boom. It comes up again. Somewhere else completely different, sometimes even from unexpected people.. .. It's not just me!! Ty
It ok to grab a pork chop, or a catfish. Before the levitical law they ate them. We are not nor have been under that law, it was made obsolete in Christ. 🤗
Shelly Blanchard I’m confused. I admit I can’t remember every word of this lesson with everything that has happened in the past month so I don’t understand what that has to do with my pastor doing the same lesson right before Mike did. Please excuse my forgetfulness, old age stinks sometimes.
@@RunnyBabbitMom I didn't say anything about that was what someone else preached, it someone else, but I know what you're saying. There was someone else who said that. They were led to hear this to.
Thank you for your wholesome teaching. I have been looking for this type of teaching for a long time. You are actually feeding us. " The Word is the Bread of Life" , I have a new understanding of Jesus in this way. This type of teaching is a rarity in the Church. Maybe it has to do with where I live! I feel I have been starved. This is so satisfying, and helpful and growth producing. God Bless You
😃👍 Really appreciate your teaching style!! Your message has made me aware of how (dangerously) powerful my thoughts are and can lead me away from what God wants for me....
When trying to determine whether a person is truly a follower of Christ I will ask them the question "why do you think God should let you be a part of his kingdom of Heaven?". Most of the time they will respond with "because I'm a good person." That opens the door to talk about God's standard of what is good. Many people still believe they have to earn their way in.
Similar to how living waters does it/ Ray Comfort, yeah we like to think that about ourselves, one thing I've realised about God in my walk is that he'll let me fall if it means gracefully breaking me, he's good to us.
@@lmorter7867 His approach is good, does a good job of using the letter to show that we can't fulfill it, his talks are very systematic and I'm not certain if they leave some of the stuff they say out to get more people in one video... Anyways I've noticed that everyone seems to go about things their own way, not really scriptural of us to do that but I suppose at the end of the day we only plant the seeds.
@@theSoundlessHuman The gospel is simple enough to understand that a child can get it. There's more than one way to share good news. The more important part when sharing the gospel is in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you. People need to understand the gravity of sin and the love of God. They need to understand what they are being saved from as well as what they are being saved into.
@@lmorter7867 Romans 3:10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 7:1 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. De solo Mammona cogitant, They think of nothing but mammon. Mammon (ממון) "money". Mammon is the name of the demon, that in which the world is living as a sacrifice. Romans 7:1 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. The nations and $250 trillions of debt, this is really the Religion of the world. This obliging people to an irrevocable adherence of "Bad faith” and fraud, to serve death, where you are required to sell your body for debt. The securities for debts; the guarantors for debts, that you have nothing with which to pay, and you don't have the ability to pay. Neither do the newborn children have trillions, plus interest. All of their souls shall die, and I can not find one man that cares.
Everytime I think I've seen my favorite BibleThinker video I end up finding a new one... Thank you for helping me to fall in love with the word of God. It's beautiful, all of it.
Pastor Mike, As much as I appreciate this teaching, I've had to stop and start the video throughout the day. Thanks for enduring--wow! over an hour of meaningful teaching that's still digestible in bitesize increments.
not only does listening to pastor Winger make my walk with my personal savior stronger, it also makes me smarter. I now know what the phrase "pure as the driven snow" means. It does mean fresh snow. I just have to wonder how many others looked that up. haha
Thank you so much Mike ❤️. You have taught me so much God has really used you too teach me and help me think biblically. I'm so thankful ❤️ God bless you.
For the life of me I can never understand how a video like this gets dislikes? It’s so balanced and sound. Damn man, it’s sad that we don’t have sound teaching in every single church.
"And let us not grow weary of doing good for in due season we will reap if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 Keep following Christ in every way and don't give up. Don't let the temporary temptations distract you from the eternal treasures in heaven. Be encouraged knowing that God is with you and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. And if God is for us then who could ever be against us. Hopefully this helped you today. God bless you.
Thanks Mike for your teaching! Merry Christmas to all. I live in a snowy region... we understand driven snow... lol... As the snow gets dirty the driven snow that is a blowing downfall of snow that covers the dirty snow is made clean looking. That is my interpretation anyway 💨❄️
I love that you said, “Jesus not only brings us back to the heart of God but to the Word of God.” Right there in Mark 7. That is such a helpful statement in a climate of grave error, one example being Bill Johnson’s derogatory and undercutting words that “It’s not Father, Son, and Holy Bible.”
In part yes! But we need to be cautious of repeat offenders. Proverbs is full of beware undertones. It also says to guard your heart. Proverbs calls the one who doesn’t listen a fool. Forgiveness should abound from a Christian!! But also, wise discernment from those who would lead us astray.
Samuel Jaboin this guy is great, but how many teachers are there in the world, and how many have you heard. This guy is wonderful in some things, but falls short in others. Don’t be carnal
Samuel Jaboin “Call no man teacher, for you have ONE teacher, Messiah”. Not being petty, just saying we shouldn’t look at anyone as a teacher. We are the bowling ball, God is the hand that throws and guides us. Man is only the bumper to point us back to the direction of the hand’s intended path of the ball. Otherwise it can be easy to esteem man as knowledgeable and worth following. Again I’m not just trying to be petty and nit-picky
Samuel Jaboin please tell me you didn’t take offense. I’m not trying to play word games, I’m explaining a concept. I was trying to clarify I wasn’t being nit picky cause I didn’t want you to think I was misunderstanding what you were saying and I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’m just sharing the concept that Messiah is the one who gave doctrine and we have Shepards now who bump us back on track. Why are you using the scripture to argue against Jesus’ own words? This was suppose to be a friendly point about a concept, not a petty point about the technical wording used
I was trying to create healthy dialogue exploring concept, not wording, with a fellow brother as there aren’t many in my area to talk to. I will hold my peace in the future if you wish. I wasn’t trying to be annoying or be “that guy”. And I realize a yt comment section might not be the best place but where is? God bless brother, I didn’t mean any offense.
The word "hypocrite" is a transliteration from the Greek. The actual translation is "actor". The actors of that time wore masks to hide themselves and portray a character.
10:25 sounds like a majority of old guard pastors to me, you have to meet this long list of traditional standards that they have created or they question your love and faith Christ.
1:10:00 yes makes sense. When you take into account in Timothy, how Paul describes doctrines of demons, as well as his rebuke of Peter's hypocrisy, as well as Peter's vision; what he is intending to say becomes clear. ❤
@Dominus Vobiscum that all foods are clean, and are to be recieved with thanks giving. If you read the authors I mentioned that all talk about different aspects of this. Making it clear what he taught and passed on to them.
As a former calvinist, this is exactly what calvinism does. In the counsels they actually call the institutes a holy doctrine. It's like SDA and Ellen White's lesser light. Col 2:8 would include calvinism. Great video.❤ The answer is to see where it comes from. Its rooted in stoic and gnostic deterministic philosophy. Read the first few centuries of the early church in context. Compare it to the tradition and philosophy of calvinism. If you have received the Spirit, ask him to lead you into all Truth, mature, and Spiritually discern Truth. You'll see calvinism for what it is. This applies to many traditions and philosophy in the "church." Calvinism was just my experiance and being corrected by God. ❤
At 1:05:00 I really appreciated the point about Sola Scriptura. People like Candace Owens who converted to Catholicism mention how they realized there is "no reason" to believe in Sola Scriptura and while it's clear in my mind/experience that nobody would require their teaching/tradition to be equal in authority to scripture unless scripture did not support (or clearly contradicts) their teaching, I have heard Protestants struggle to give a meaningful biblical defense here and wasn't sure how to respond to something like that.
I would point out that Scripture is much harsher on the Jewish people than is the reality of how the Jewish people were acting. It is meant to be a lesson. Think about it a bit. 40 years they were in the wilderness and you can count their infractions on just a bit more than two hands. That's it. This theme is repeated throughout Scripture. King Solomon was a very righteous man yet one would think he sinned greatly. The same is with King David. But in fact neither are true. The same is true with Zedekiah where Jeremiah tells him that he will burn Jerusalem when in fact the Chaldean's did this. (Jeremiah - Chapter 38 verse 23) Then there is Jeremiah chapter 41 verse 9 which states '9 Now the pit into which Yishmael had cast all the corpses of the men who had been slain by the hand of Gedaliah'. Did Gedaliah actually slay them? Was it not Yishmael who had slain them? (verse 7)
'Pure as the driven snow'. means driven by the wind. When you wake up in the morning, and it has been snowing, the snow looks pure and clean because nothing has marked it yet, and it looks smooth and wave like, like a sand dune. We haven't had snow like that where I live since I was child.
Really like that you brought up the point about foolishness. I’ve been slowly looking for more teachings on it and finding examples in my own life. It seems that humor is often used as a pass for morality; as long as something is funny, how can it be wrong? But the Bible doesn’t support that thinking.
Good to listen Mike. But one thing I see you don't understand is that nominal divisions are bad because Christ isn't divided, as we see in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13.
Hi Mark! (hehe jk) Really appreciate all the work that you do for us all! Just wanted to ask if you could please make a Playlist for the Mark series? Thanks :)
@Dominus Vobiscum Seriously, I use terms per the dictionary. The word is not a proper noun as your inquiry suggests. "Clouding an issue" is common in deception. "(capital T)", lol. I bet you friends think you're smart.
@Daughter of Tryggvi DOT, noted, and completely UNDERSTANDABLE. I don't answer questions as a 'guideline' b/c answers are room for argument. You don't ask questions, just start off with 'fightn' words'. Let your hate flow DOT...breath ez...let it flow.... Easy for ya, huh?
@Daughter of Tryggvi Agreed, "Dude wasn’t being argumentative...". One (1) reason might be b/c I gave no room for argument. Likely other reasons too. He can do his own fact checking, he would have done so with my answer anyway. I don't EXPECT, to be believed, nor have a RIGHT to be believed. You mentioned "unnecessary comments." Yours are necessary? Leftist - "Laws 4 thee, not me." Your opinion is "Not cool".
Mike, though this sermon is over a year old, I want to point out that we still have dietary restrictions given through the Holy Spirit at the council of Jerusalem. Acts 15:20 - abstain from things that have been strangled and from blood. Also Acts 21:25.
My answer still stands. The message to Gentile Christians was to abstain from food that was, for instance, sacrificed to idols if it was going to offend a Jew who might be offended and not become a a Christian because of it.
@@NancyBeee That's not what it says. It says to stay from things polluted by idols AND sexual immorality AND from what has been strangled AND from blood. Nothing there about not causing Jews to stumble.
I will say I’ve really liked what Greg boyd has taught could you pin down some points where you two disagree so I and others could evaluate them. Been encouraged by your approach to scripture and teaching many blessings to you
Thoughts about food being clean: Mark was Peter's gospel, Peter had the dream in Acts about clean foods; could this be a retrospective commentary as Peter looked back on what Jesus said? Which at the time they may not have understood.
In mark it says are u too without understanding nothing goes into u that defines u. Jesus I truly believe was being cryptic I spent time in hebrew roots. I was ready to toss all my food habits Then I read acts. I begged the lord to understand why and how 119 ministries could ever believe that it wasn't about food. Then wam I got hit with chills lost my breath went to floor It was instant. I realized why of course it was about food. Solberg and other pastors soon showed and I listened. That spark of listinging when I was stunned. It dawned on me that the food laws were to seperate the gentile and jew The food shown was the fare of the world How would the gospel spread
I like the bookcase background better. It seems as if there is no audience when you are behind the lectern. Podcast look would be good also. Love your content however. Enjoyed the colab! With the apologists
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the pulpit and the kind of "country-western" looking Scriptures in the background. I miss the bookcases, the jelly beans, and the kitty cat..
Tradition is good, if it is the right tradition. 1 Cor 11:2, 'I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.'
One thing people who hasn't grown up in environment doesn't know what it was about. Just like now if you grew up in the 60's knew how it was with black when the couldn't use certain water fountains or would have to ride in certain seats on the bus. The kids now didn't grow up in that situation. It's around 60 years. Each generation is bit different.
"Thus he declared all foods clean" is NOT in the greek. Therefore, it is added in commentary to sway the reader to think he changed the law of God which is unchangeable or else he fails the Deut 13 test. we must rightly understand the Bible. he was saying, food doesnt effect your salvation.
Christopher Walls that is a subtext added by the scribes and translators after the fact. It is a provable fact what this person said. The oldest manuscripts that we have today don’t actually have that in there. That’s why so many people call the NIV the “nearly inspired version”. Of course it’s not just that version. It’s atrocious to add that in to messiahs words and trick readers into thinking he inspired it
@@williamcashmusic "that is a subtext added by the scribes and translators after the fact" is the statement I'm asking to be supported by evidence. We can talk about the meanings of words, but everything I've seen definitely has the phrase "καθαρίζον πάντα τὰ βρώματα" roughly meaning "is cleansed all food" or "all food is cleansed." What manuscript does not have that phrase?
Christopher Walls and also in the verse right before the one I just mentioned it talks about it being food for the “faithful” Indicating a specific, pre established list of food that was meant for the people of God. Hope this helps
I think “driven snow” in the expression you quoted is referring to driven by wind, drifted-not having a car drive on it. Pure as the driven snow would be snow blown about in drifts.
In Mark 9:49 What Did Jesus mean by saying "Everyone will be salted with Fire?" Is this a Hebrew idiom? Or something else? Just curious because he says everyone will have this done.
1:05:00 oof! The scribes come from Jerusalem added tradition and spoke from the seat of Moses, the pope comes from Rome added tradition and speaks from the seat of Peter. Yet they don't seem to have gotten the wake up call in the 1600s, not even right now.
@Sara Rainey I really hope he doesn't do that. Men without beards are the worst, for proof: Hitler, Stalin, Sadam Hussein, Musolini, Mao, etc, all beardless. Whereas men with beards are awesome: Jesus, Santa, Abe Lincoln, Marcus Aurelius, da Vinci, etc, all bearded.
Hi I don’t know if you read comments on old videos but I really feel confused on coveting as you spoke about it? I thought it was like sinfulling wanting things or like being jealous of stuff people have that you don’t but in the video you describe it kinda by repeating I want so like I jump to maybe it’s just obsessing over wanting things? But then you describe it as like a desire for something and just like ... I’m confused mike? Like ... here’s an example in my life my laptop is getting kinda older I want a new one occasionally I look at them or like enter give aways I see for some if I’m in the mood to bother with that but like is that coveting?
Ya, one of the traditions of the flds that was taught for doctrine, was that in order to go to the highest degree of glory you had to live plural marriage.
I was reading Judges for the first time and I was getting very upset with the people of Israel because they kept doing the same thing over and over again. God let me know that he didn't write it for them, they were all dead, but he wrote it for me. The Bible is a book about God's nature and my nature.
I really appreciate what Mike Winger does. Here, I think his comparison between tattoos, Christmas and alcohol is a logical fallacy - apples and oranges comparison (and maybe pears, since there are three). For example, one relates to a negative command, one relates to history, and one has no prohibition. Pairing an objective matter with one that is more subjective gives the appearance of credibility with the issues that are more subjective. I would add that, in my observation, the desire to see unity and fellowship has lead Christians to compromise and to dumb down or twist truth. Disagreeing is hard, and it takes work, and it is sometimes awkward. The emotion-driven "thought police" who hear "unity" feel the need to shut down disagreement as fast as they can. That isn't healthy, and it isn't a biblical goal. The Bible doesn't seems to put ideas like love, commitment and truth above unity. The plea for unity can also be an argument in itself. Here is what I mean: If one person thinks tattoos are okay, and the other says they are not, the one who says they are okay can call for unity, complaining that the subject causes division. In that case, the one who is a proponent of tattoos, as a practical matter, wins.
They where trying to convince themselves and others that Jesus wasn't "of God" so they were accusing the disciples to say "see He isn't from God because He doesn't teach the traditions"
Helet Van Blerk Jesus said unless one spouse commits adultery , you can’t divorce. So if I am correct, yes you can remarry since ur former hubby commuted adultery.
Both Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 (KJV) says (which is clearer): And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, EXCEPT it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Matthew 19:9 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. Matthew 5:32 Since all is inspired of God, they must agree, so I see it as saying the same thing in Mark and Luke. So as I understand it, the "innocent party" (you) can remarry since your ex committed adultery. But then you need to be careful who you remarry.....
@@nocoincidencesm1660, not that I am a Christian but how can a man commit adultery by taking another woman? (unless of course the other woman is married) Don't you know that a man can marry as many women as he pleases? (except for a King of Israel who is limited to only 18 wives) P.S. I'm Jewish.
A lot of people doesn't think that God cleansed food that was once uncleaned. People doesn't listen. Peter wouldn't accept it either. Lot of people still think it wrong to eat , pork , shellfish, and lobster. God gave them for us to eat. So should enjoy them.
SWINE Leviticus 11:7 (KJV) And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you. Deuteronomy 14:8 (KJV) And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. Isaiah 65:4 (KJV) Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels; Isaiah 66:17 (KJV) They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. Acts 10:11 is what you referring ? You notice the sheet let down three times with unclean creatures. He did not eat . Later you see three gentiles ( unclean to Jews ) at the door . Should explain its self to you .
What do you do when you find yourself in a Christian School who has implemented traditions as rules, like face shaving and how long your hair can be, what kind of clothes you can wear? When we are told to obey our authorities and leaders in scripture but they have shifted into using their rules as "fruit testers" by saying things like "well if you were truly humble you would just shave your face or wear this"? But really we aren't to view those things as requirements in the first place right?
That sounds concerning. It’s one thing to have rules for school. It’s another thing to make them an inherent moral code. Pretty sure only God can test fruit because only he knows the heart. Believers can only observe fruit and even then we don’t see clearly.
@Mike Winger: 34:00 I accept your argument that false teaching should be confronted, but is it mutually exclusive with approaching them privately first? An email at least? Love your channel regardless, keep up the great work.
Jesus said to the rulers of the temple that when they sit in the seat of Moses what they said was from the Torah. Its when they stood and taught that they referred to the traditions. That is what is meant. Jesus was telling the people to only listen when the teachers were sitting in the seat of Moses.
May I suggest you actually read Jeremiah chapter 31. Beside the fact that the Gentiles have no part in the new covenant there is no mention of jesus there at all. There is mention of forgiveness of sin though. Seems there is no need for jesus to have forgiveness. Makes one think...
Big Shmooz All scripture is inspired by God, not all scripture applies to new covenant Christians. The blood of Jesus ratified the new covenant which is a better way than being justified by the works of the law. All scripture is profitable for doctrine ,reproof, and correction, if your understanding of a scripture does not align with other scripture, you have an incorrect understanding. Is not God the God of the gentiles also? Gentile believers were not to follow the Jewish covenant. Also Paul says there is neither now Jew nor gentile, slave or free, male or female, all are one in Christ! It is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to forgive sin. Jesus died once for all sin, past, present, and future. “Jesus” there is no other name given to men by which they must be saved. If Jesus is not your Lord in whom you trust, He does not dwell in you or have any part in you, nor you in His kingdom.
@@fredc61'All scripture is inspired by God,' My response, it is not merely through inspiration. All Scripture was *authored* by God. God is the one who wrote Scripture. Not man. & the new test is NOT Scripture. That was written by men. (who actually contradict God) 'The blood of Jesus ratified the new covenant which is a better way than being justified by the works of the law.' My response, how can you possibly get better than what God does? That doesn't even make sense. & in your opinion what is better about it? & what new covenant are you even talking about? The only new covenant I know of is the one spoken of in Jeremiah chapter 31. (which has nothing to do with jesus) 'All scripture is profitable for doctrine ,reproof, and correction,' My response, is that not a quote from Timothy? The new test was not even written yet at the time this was said. Thus this is not even a reference to the new test. Even according to your beliefs this is *not* referring to the new test. 'if your understanding of a scripture does not align with other scripture, you have an incorrect understanding.' My response, this is my point precisely. The new test is *not* Scripture. It is a man-made collection of documents. The new test *never* aligns with the word of God. It is filled with contradictions of the word of God throughout. 'Is not God the God of the gentiles also?' My response, that depends on if said Gentile obeys God's seven Noachide laws or not. (because God commanded him to do so) In Scripture God is NEVER referred to as God of the Gentiles. He is referred to (by God) *only* as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, and the God of Israel. (speaking of the nation of Israel) 'Gentile believers were not to follow the Jewish covenant.' My response, exactly. They have the Noachide covenant to follow. (the seven Noachide laws) 'Also Paul says there is neither now Jew nor gentile, slave or free, male or female, all are one in Christ!' My response, ahh Paul... Thanks God for Paul. He really did such a good job messing things up so as to show every Jew how false the teachings of the new test are. Every word you just quoted is literally anti God. God said he separated Israel from the nations to take Israel to Himself. Israel is God's inheritance These are both explicitly stated in the Torah. Do you truly expect any person who believes in God to take the word of a mere man who contradicts God, over the words of God Himself? You really need to contemplate what you are doing here. 'It is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to forgive sin.' My response, that's true. God is the one who forgives sin. But God says that through the bringing of certain offerings through the blood certain sins are forgiven. 'Jesus died once for all sin, past, present, and future.' My response, there is no atonement for sins not yet done. That doesn't even make sense. & there is no positive concept to somebody dying for another's sins. This contradicts the Torah and the rest of Scripture over and over which explicitly states that each man dies for his own sins. & you really must think God is so cruel as to have somebody die for another person's sins. Imagine if your next door neighbor committed a sin and I went and killed your wife and said to your next door neighbor 'now your sin is atoned for'. What would you think of me? & then I would kill your children and say to you that not only is your next door neighbor's sins atone for, the sins of the entire world are atoned for. What would you say to me then? 'Jesus is not your Lord in whom you trust, He does not dwell in you or have any part in you, nor you in His kingdom.' My response, this is so true & I thank God every day for this as I don't think anybody would want to be where jesus is right now. Let me give you a hint as to where jesus currently resides.... the temperature where he is at is way way way north of 1,000 degrees.
Through Jesus’s sacrifice and sending the Holy Spirit to dwell in me, I have been delivered from depression, perversion, and materialism, life is so much better not being in bondage to the things that were destroying my life and relationships, may your eyes be opened long before the anti christ sits in the rebuilt Holy of Holies.
@@fredc61 'Through Jesus’s sacrifice and sending the Holy Spirit to dwell in me, I have been delivered from depression, perversion, and materialism,' My response this is what is known as a placebo. It's real to you, but it's not reality. There was a woman who suffered from these types of things as well. Her children made her a fake lottery ticket that they told her she won. Her entire life changed at that point. she no longer had a negative outlook on life. Things literally tuned better for her. But it was all based on a fraud. The same is true with you. I believe everything you're telling me except for the source for it. Btw... just so that you know, if that is the reasoning you are going by, the fact is people of all religions have had supernatural experiences which have caused them to have life changing results for the better. Does that mean that their religions are also true? On a personal note, you may wish to know that God actually TOLD ME personally in regard to jesus to follow what the Rabbis say. (the Rabbis say jesus was an idolater who also enticed others to idolatry) So if one is going to go by their own personal experiences rather than what God says in scripture, then the answer from God is that jesus was an idolater who enticed others to idolatry. I personally never use that as a reason to tell others that jesus is a lie (despite this being the case) because I go by God's word ALONE In Scripture to convince others. You need to trust ONLY in the word of God (rather than your own personal feelings) as everything else is merely a test of your love for God. This is what Deut chapter 13 says. This is the word of God on the matter. 'may your eyes be opened long before the anti christ sits in the rebuilt Holy of Holies.' My response, there is no such thing. God Himself is the one who is going to build the Temple (actually it is already built but it awaits us in heaven at the moment I am typing this) and at that point all people will know God. This is straight from the word of God. Do you think God lied? You either believe God or you believe the new test. As Elijah the Prophet said I quote... '21 And Elijah drew near to all the people and said, "Until when are you hopping between two ideas? If the Lord is God, go after Him, and if the Baal, go after him." And the people did not answer him a word.' Are you going to go after God or are you going to go after jesus? (baal) As for myself, I will choose God every time. I do suggest you do the same lest you fall into the pit jesus fell into. A pit he can never escape.
Pretty sure the “pure as the driven snow” saying has to do with the way the snow gets pushed into snow drifts. I don’t think I’ve ever seen dirty snow drifts, they’ve always been really white.
2 things, will you paint a graphity on church? Then if our body is Gods temple why put a tattoo? Alcohol is not condemned but clearly getting drunked is condemned in the bible.
Unity is great regarding peripheral things. But the Bible does draw lines against fellowshipping with people engaged in willful sin and doctrinal heresy. Also, i think sometimes we have to protect ourselves and our family from toxic and abusive individuals.
As a Biblical Unitarian, I have been to several trinitarian churches. They usually don't have any problem at all with me not belieiving in the trinity and are even willing to talk about the issues.. But there has been at least one church that didn't want me there at all. Not being a salvation issue, I believe we can all fellowship together. In fact ,in most churches there is usually no mention about the trinity, or of whether or not Jesus is God, even though they might officially believe it. I think this is because even trinitarians don't agree with each other on the nature of God. It shouldn't be a divisive issue in my opinion.
@@tahquameken Jeremiah 44:25Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Note that the Hebrew word for bride, (kallah), closely resembles the verb (kalah), meaning to bring to completion.This latter verb is closely related to the verb (kalal), meaning to be or make whole or perfect, from whence derives the noun (kal), meaning all. The All"in the bridal chamber, so as to enter the Chuppah "covering" canopy beneath which marriage ceremonies are performed. It was customary for one of the grooms party to go ahead of the groom (chatan), leading the way to the bride's house and shout - "Behold, the bridegroom comes." Nisuin which means “to lift up” or “carry” the lifting up the bride. How blessed is your generation ? For it is they who shall accompany the Bride to the Chuppah, all those who rejoice in Her this night shall have their names recorded in the Book of Life. ( That is if they can learn to stop selling their souls to a demon, so that they can worship paper $$$.) A Chuppah is a "canopy" or "covering" Hebrew חֻפָּה (chuppah), In a more general sense the chupah is symbolizing the new home being built and the place by which nesuin, is accomplished. A Chuppah which occurs in only 3 verses. Psalm 19:4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber (chuppah), and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. Joe 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet (chuppah). Isa 4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence (chuppah). Isaiah 51:18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up. 19These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? Hosea 2:14Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 15And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and THE VALLEY OF ACHOR FOR A DOOR OF HOPE: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, SOUGHT OUT, A CITY NOT FORSAKEN. Isaiah 65:10 And Sharon("plain"; easy to perceive or understand )shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. Isaiah 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut THE WOMB? saith thy God.10 Rejoice ye with , and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: Luke 13:20-21And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a WOMAN took and HID IN THREE MEASURES of meal, till the whole was leavened. Even those of Islam know of the womb. That the Messenger said, إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ، وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِىءِ، وَلكِنِ الْوَاصِلُ الَّذِي إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا (Verily, THE WOMB is attached to the Throne. And connecting its ties does not mean dealing evenly (with the kinsfolk), but it rather means that if one's kinsfolk sever the ties, he connects them.) الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمنُ، ارْحَمُوا أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ، وَالرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمنِ، مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَتْهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَّتْه (The merciful ones will be granted mercy from the Most Merciful. Have mercy on those on earth -- the One above the heavens will then have mercy on you. And Ar-Rahim (THE WOMB) is from Ar-Rahman, so whoever joins it, it joins him; and whoever severs it, it severs him.) تُوضَعُ الرَّحِمُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَهَا (حُجْنَةٌ كَحُجْنَةِ) الْمِغْزَلِ تَكَلَّمُ بِلِسَانٍ طَلِقٍ ذَلِقٍ، فَتَقْطَعُ مَنْ قَطَعَهَا وَتَصِلُ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا (The WOMB will be placed on the Day of Resurrection, curved like a spinning wheel, speaking with an eloquent fluent tongue, calling to severing whoever had severed it, and joining whoever had joined it.) Ahmed Ali 43:81Say: "If Ar-Rahman had a son I would have been the first of worshippers."
2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours."
Mark Campbell People seem to miss that there are God-inspired Holy Traditions, and man-made legal traditions. Baptism, communion, confession, etc. These are all holy and apart from Scripture. Scripture attests do these things, but they are equally valid and authoritative. Scripture is a part of the entirety of our Faith. A part of the entirety of the God-given religion and Tradition.
Mark Campbell Just to clear the air, I think we are in agreement. I was referring to things like Sola scriptura, “believer’s baptism,” etc. Other examples could be how to dress on Sundays, whether or not to have instruments for worship, hymns vs contemporary, etc.
What are dispensations? Does anybody know? What is a dispensationalist? When I went to the Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) the Pastor almost had a heart attack when he thought I was a dispensationalist. I didn't even know what it meant..Is it the same as believing in Covenants?
I realize this comment is almost a year old, so you may have already found the answers to your questions. Just in case you are still curious about it... "Dispensations" refer to different eras of history in which God relates to people differently. For example, one dispensation would refer to the era between the Fall of Man and the Flood, another would be the era from the giving of the Law of Moses until the crucifixion of Christ. A "Dispensationalist" is simply someone who believes in Dispensations. Some of the other distinguishing features of Dispensationalism are belief in the Rapture, a literal 7-year Tribulation, and a literal 1000-year Millennium. The system was crafted by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s, and is held by many different churches. A lot of churches based on older traditions, including the LCMS, have a deep dislike of Dispensationalism, which is very different from their eschatology.
If one stumbles on accepting the atoning blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, can we as gentiles fall back on a yearly sacrifice of a lamb without blemish?? Assuming we follow Levitical law regarding this type of offering as the seat of the Pharisees have instructed??
Sir, having a thought even without will placed behind it is still sin is it not?? - But I say unto you, Matthew 5:28: That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
When Jesus says “to lust after her” he seems to add some measure of intentionality. This would mean I didn’t just look but I looked “to lust”. I think this includes an act of the will, even if it is a very quick act which doesn’t take time to deliberate.
"We don't find God's heart by abandoning Scripture, we find the heart of God in Scripture." Amen!
My one friend who used to drink has always been one of the most honest Christian's I know, he's had it more difficult than most people, he's recently decided to get rid of all pharmaceutical medications, he's in this year been delivered from smoking and recently also drinking, but since I've known him I've looked up to him, the sincerity I see in this man blows me away and I only wish I could be as sincere towards God...
I will forever try my best not to be some legalistic jerk who thinks he's upheld the law, I've done horrible things and I thank God that he's put up with it all...
@Itryeightyfive I used to be judgemental earlier in my walk, but the finger was always pointing right back to me, I think God is beyond gracious to us after all we've put him through, we find it difficult to even empathize with him and I think it's so sad, man I hope I weep when I see him, I want him to wipe my tears away, godly sorrow has always brought peace, I've never felt condemned by him in it, rather as if he's saying I know you did this and that but so what I'm greater than it all.
@Itryeightyfive Don't guilt trip yourself or feel shameful, he has given us freedom from that, I do know what you mean though 💪 our very nature is to be self destructive, and if anyone ever challenges me on things like the flood or whatever it might be, I tell them God did those things to preserve humanity, he didn't wipe us all out 😅 but we certainly would and sadly that's the direction this world is heading in once more, Jesus is coming soon and I'm excited for the years ahead, when in the past I was scared...
I believe there's going to be much trial and tribulation but how awesome will it be to depend on God once more...
Jesus is coming soon and I can't wait 💪
Itryeightyfive My friend, we are all broken. And that is exactly the state we need to acknowledge in order to fully embrace our Creator and Savior who loves us beyond understanding. He is your rest, your soft place to fall, your strength, and your place of refuge. Give your battles to Him.
Isn’t that the strange part? Some of the most outwardly broken believers also seem to be the kindest or most genuine. I wasn’t able to trust a seminary student, but I’ve always been able to trust the friends who drink and cuss a little too much sometimes.
🤣 my pastor just did the same chapter yesterday.
That happens Alot.. You hear a teaching and boom. It comes up again. Somewhere else completely different, sometimes even from unexpected people..
.. It's not just me!! Ty
Mrs. Patterson it’s amazing how God grabs us like that.
It ok to grab a pork chop, or a catfish. Before the levitical law they ate them. We are not nor have been under that law, it was made obsolete in Christ. 🤗
Shelly Blanchard I’m confused. I admit I can’t remember every word of this lesson with everything that has happened in the past month so I don’t understand what that has to do with my pastor doing the same lesson right before Mike did. Please excuse my forgetfulness, old age stinks sometimes.
@@RunnyBabbitMom I didn't say anything about that was what someone else preached, it someone else, but I know what you're saying.
There was someone else who said that. They were led to hear this to.
Thank you for your wholesome teaching. I have been looking for this type of teaching for a long time. You are actually feeding us. " The Word is the Bread of Life" , I have a new understanding of Jesus in this way. This type of teaching is a rarity in the Church. Maybe it has to do with where I live! I feel I have been starved. This is so satisfying, and helpful and growth producing. God Bless You
@Dozo [ Χριστός Ανέστη ] what about Voddie Baucham? Have you listened to him? He is great too
Love what you do here man! I have learned SOOOOO much from you. Thank you so much!!
I hope and pray you are still doing well brother biscuit 🙏
😃👍 Really appreciate your teaching style!!
Your message has made me aware of how (dangerously) powerful
my thoughts are and can lead me away from what God wants for me....
'Driven snow' is snow that has blown into drifts and is untrodden and clean.
lol. i was about to clear that up too.
Right! Driven by the wind lol, not driven over by a car😅
Thank you! Living in south TX where we rarely even see snow, I have never known what this phrase meant
When trying to determine whether a person is truly a follower of Christ I will ask them the question "why do you think God should let you be a part of his kingdom of Heaven?". Most of the time they will respond with "because I'm a good person." That opens the door to talk about God's standard of what is good. Many people still believe they have to earn their way in.
Similar to how living waters does it/ Ray Comfort, yeah we like to think that about ourselves, one thing I've realised about God in my walk is that he'll let me fall if it means gracefully breaking me, he's good to us.
@@theSoundlessHuman I like Comforts approach. The only thing is I feel he only covers the half of the gospel message.
@@lmorter7867 His approach is good, does a good job of using the letter to show that we can't fulfill it, his talks are very systematic and I'm not certain if they leave some of the stuff they say out to get more people in one video...
Anyways I've noticed that everyone seems to go about things their own way, not really scriptural of us to do that but I suppose at the end of the day we only plant the seeds.
@@theSoundlessHuman The gospel is simple enough to understand that a child can get it. There's more than one way to share good news. The more important part when sharing the gospel is in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you. People need to understand the gravity of sin and the love of God. They need to understand what they are being saved from as well as what they are being saved into.
@@lmorter7867 Romans 3:10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 7:1 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. De solo Mammona cogitant, They think of nothing but mammon. Mammon (ממון) "money". Mammon is the name of the demon, that in which the world is living as a sacrifice. Romans 7:1 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. The nations and $250 trillions of debt, this is really the Religion of the world. This obliging people to an irrevocable adherence of "Bad faith” and fraud, to serve death, where you are required to sell your body for debt. The securities for debts; the guarantors for debts, that you have nothing with which to pay, and you don't have the ability to pay. Neither do the newborn children have trillions, plus interest. All of their souls shall die, and I can not find one man that cares.
You make these verses so understandable!! Thank you!!
Everytime I think I've seen my favorite BibleThinker video I end up finding a new one... Thank you for helping me to fall in love with the word of God. It's beautiful, all of it.
Thank you brother. You truly have such a gift from God. I’m grateful ✝️
Pastor Mike, As much as I appreciate this teaching, I've had to stop and start the video throughout the day. Thanks for enduring--wow! over an hour of meaningful teaching that's still digestible in bitesize increments.
Lisa Redden me too..
not only does listening to pastor Winger make my walk with my personal savior stronger, it also makes me smarter. I now know what the phrase "pure as the driven snow" means. It does mean fresh snow. I just have to wonder how many others looked that up. haha
Thank you so much Mike ❤️. You have taught me so much God has really used you too teach me and help me think biblically. I'm so thankful ❤️ God bless you.
Couple of those questions I haven't even thought about before. Thats why I like the Q&A.
For the life of me I can never understand how a video like this gets dislikes? It’s so balanced and sound. Damn man, it’s sad that we don’t have sound teaching in every single church.
Bobby Johnson Pharisees, man, 😅🌈😅🌈😅

"And let us not grow weary of doing good for in due season we will reap if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9
Keep following Christ in every way and don't give up. Don't let the temporary temptations distract you from the eternal treasures in heaven. Be encouraged knowing that God is with you and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. And if God is for us then who could ever be against us. Hopefully this helped you today. God bless you.
Another excellent video with real and valuable application.
Thanks Mike for your teaching! Merry Christmas to all.
I live in a snowy region... we understand driven snow... lol... As the snow gets dirty the driven snow that is a blowing downfall of snow that covers the dirty snow is made
clean looking. That is my interpretation anyway 💨❄️
Finding encouragement today in your teaching. Thank-you.
I love that you said, “Jesus not only brings us back to the heart of God but to the Word of God.” Right there in Mark 7. That is such a helpful statement in a climate of grave error, one example being Bill Johnson’s derogatory and undercutting words that “It’s not Father, Son, and Holy Bible.”
Kathleen S. LaRoche
Jesus IS the Word of God. Just so we’re clear here.
Yes that is sad about Bill Johnson and exactly what a false teacher would say. God put His word above His name!!
@IDONTKNOW Excellent point!!
@@ToOpen6seven I don't understand what you mean by "God put His word above His name!!"
@@bradleyperry1735 That's what the Bible says.......
Thank you for the reminder, we need to forgive AND forget, just as God cannot remember our sins once forgiven.
God doesn't call our sins to remembrance, but that doesn't mean He has a poor memory. He doesn't *literally* forget. (Nor can we.)
In part yes! But we need to be cautious of repeat offenders. Proverbs is full of beware undertones. It also says to guard your heart. Proverbs calls the one who doesn’t listen a fool. Forgiveness should abound from a Christian!! But also, wise discernment from those who would lead us astray.
I Love Mike teachings, keep up the great work, God bless you more.👏👏👏
Incredible teaching. Thank you so much, pastor Mike!
The best Bible teacher 💯❗
Samuel Jaboin this guy is great, but how many teachers are there in the world, and how many have you heard. This guy is wonderful in some things, but falls short in others. Don’t be carnal
Samuel Jaboin “Call no man teacher, for you have ONE teacher, Messiah”. Not being petty, just saying we shouldn’t look at anyone as a teacher. We are the bowling ball, God is the hand that throws and guides us. Man is only the bumper to point us back to the direction of the hand’s intended path of the ball. Otherwise it can be easy to esteem man as knowledgeable and worth following. Again I’m not just trying to be petty and nit-picky
@@williamcashmusic "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers"
Ephesians 4:11
Samuel Jaboin please tell me you didn’t take offense. I’m not trying to play word games, I’m explaining a concept. I was trying to clarify I wasn’t being nit picky cause I didn’t want you to think I was misunderstanding what you were saying and I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’m just sharing the concept that Messiah is the one who gave doctrine and we have Shepards now who bump us back on track. Why are you using the scripture to argue against Jesus’ own words? This was suppose to be a friendly point about a concept, not a petty point about the technical wording used
I was trying to create healthy dialogue exploring concept, not wording, with a fellow brother as there aren’t many in my area to talk to. I will hold my peace in the future if you wish. I wasn’t trying to be annoying or be “that guy”. And I realize a yt comment section might not be the best place but where is? God bless brother, I didn’t mean any offense.
The word "hypocrite" is a transliteration from the Greek. The actual translation is "actor". The actors of that time wore masks to hide themselves and portray a character.
Could you other verse by verse series? When Im being fed the word I become a glutton. I desire more
10:25 sounds like a majority of old guard pastors to me, you have to meet this long list of traditional standards that they have created or they question your love and faith Christ.
thanks for the work you do for the church and ministry
Very helpful, thank you
1:10:00 yes makes sense.
When you take into account in Timothy, how Paul describes doctrines of demons, as well as his rebuke of Peter's hypocrisy, as well as Peter's vision; what he is intending to say becomes clear. ❤
@Dominus Vobiscum that all foods are clean, and are to be recieved with thanks giving. If you read the authors I mentioned that all talk about different aspects of this. Making it clear what he taught and passed on to them.
As a former calvinist, this is exactly what calvinism does. In the counsels they actually call the institutes a holy doctrine. It's like SDA and Ellen White's lesser light. Col 2:8 would include calvinism. Great video.❤
The answer is to see where it comes from. Its rooted in stoic and gnostic deterministic philosophy. Read the first few centuries of the early church in context. Compare it to the tradition and philosophy of calvinism. If you have received the Spirit, ask him to lead you into all Truth, mature, and Spiritually discern Truth. You'll see calvinism for what it is. This applies to many traditions and philosophy in the "church." Calvinism was just my experiance and being corrected by God. ❤
So few in the modern times have faith in the guiding/revealing power of the Spirit. And I believe its mostly because of Sola Scriptura.
@@kenim I dont disagree. But if they really believed it, it says as much which would overrule their traditions.
Another insightful teaching! Thank you Mike!
At 1:05:00 I really appreciated the point about Sola Scriptura. People like Candace Owens who converted to Catholicism mention how they realized there is "no reason" to believe in Sola Scriptura and while it's clear in my mind/experience that nobody would require their teaching/tradition to be equal in authority to scripture unless scripture did not support (or clearly contradicts) their teaching, I have heard Protestants struggle to give a meaningful biblical defense here and wasn't sure how to respond to something like that.
At 23:10 I remember thinking that too when I was young! "Why don't they just trust God?? It's so easy!!!" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ hahaha
I would point out that Scripture is much harsher on the Jewish people than is the reality of how the Jewish people were acting. It is meant to be a lesson. Think about it a bit. 40 years they were in the wilderness and you can count their infractions on just a bit more than two hands. That's it.
This theme is repeated throughout Scripture. King Solomon was a very righteous man yet one would think he sinned greatly. The same is with King David. But in fact neither are true.
The same is true with Zedekiah where Jeremiah tells him that he will burn Jerusalem when in fact the Chaldean's did this. (Jeremiah - Chapter 38 verse 23)
Then there is Jeremiah chapter 41 verse 9 which states '9 Now the pit into which Yishmael had cast all the corpses of the men who had been slain by the hand of Gedaliah'.
Did Gedaliah actually slay them? Was it not Yishmael who had slain them? (verse 7)
Did you get a new camera ? This video is super clear and high quality looking. Looks great!!
This one was powerful 💪🏼🔥🙏🏼
This guy is really good. He has a gift.
'Pure as the driven snow'. means driven by the wind. When you wake up in the morning, and it has been snowing, the snow looks pure and clean because nothing has marked it yet, and it looks smooth and wave like, like a sand dune. We haven't had snow like that where I live since I was child.
That's a shame. The weather is being manipulated you know...
Really like that you brought up the point about foolishness. I’ve been slowly looking for more teachings on it and finding examples in my own life. It seems that humor is often used as a pass for morality; as long as something is funny, how can it be wrong? But the Bible doesn’t support that thinking.
New Sub, thanks to Melisa and Doreen!!!
Good to listen Mike. But one thing I see you don't understand is that nominal divisions are bad because Christ isn't divided, as we see in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13.
Hi Mark! (hehe jk)
Really appreciate all the work that you do for us all! Just wanted to ask if you could please make a Playlist for the Mark series? Thanks :)
"Tradition"...often a preservative for wickedness.
@Dominus Vobiscum Ask around; but use a bigger circle:)

@Daughter of Tryggvi DOT, noted, and completely UNDERSTANDABLE.
I don't answer questions as a 'guideline' b/c answers are room for argument.
You don't ask questions, just start off with 'fightn' words'.
Let your hate flow DOT...breath ez...let it flow....
Easy for ya, huh?
@Daughter of Tryggvi Agreed, "Dude wasn’t being argumentative...".
One (1) reason might be b/c I gave no room for argument. Likely other reasons too. He can do his own fact checking, he would have done so with my answer anyway. I don't EXPECT, to be believed, nor have a RIGHT to be believed.
You mentioned "unnecessary comments."
Yours are necessary?
Leftist - "Laws 4 thee, not me." Your opinion is "Not cool".
Mike, though this sermon is over a year old, I want to point out that we still have dietary restrictions given through the Holy Spirit at the council of Jerusalem. Acts 15:20 - abstain from things that have been strangled and from blood. Also Acts 21:25.
That was to not alienate the Jews who might be saved.
@@NancyBeee I appreciate the comment, but the passage is specifically addressed to Gentiles, not Jews.
"...But as for the Gentiles who have believed."
For the sake of unity between Jewish and Gentile believers.
My answer still stands. The message to Gentile Christians was to abstain from food that was, for instance, sacrificed to idols if it was going to offend a Jew who might be offended and not become a a Christian because of it.
@@NancyBeee That's not what it says. It says to stay from things polluted by idols AND sexual immorality AND from what has been strangled AND from blood. Nothing there about not causing Jews to stumble.
I will say I’ve really liked what Greg boyd has taught could you pin down some points where you two disagree so I and others could evaluate them. Been encouraged by your approach to scripture and teaching many blessings to you
Thoughts about food being clean: Mark was Peter's gospel, Peter had the dream in Acts about clean foods; could this be a retrospective commentary as Peter looked back on what Jesus said? Which at the time they may not have understood.
In mark it says are u too without understanding nothing goes into u that defines u.
Jesus I truly believe was being cryptic
I spent time in hebrew roots.
I was ready to toss all my food habits
Then I read acts.
I begged the lord to understand why and how 119 ministries could ever believe that it wasn't about food.
Then wam I got hit with chills lost my breath went to floor
It was instant. I realized why of course it was about food.
Solberg and other pastors soon showed and I listened.
That spark of listinging when I was stunned.
It dawned on me that the food laws were to seperate the gentile and jew
The food shown was the fare of the world
How would the gospel spread
Absolutely agree with you Mike about the public rebuke.
I like the bookcase background better. It seems as if there is no audience when you are behind the lectern. Podcast look would be good also. Love your content however. Enjoyed the colab! With the apologists
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the pulpit and the kind of "country-western" looking Scriptures in the background. I miss the bookcases, the jelly beans, and the kitty cat..
Very relevant to the situation between Mark Driscoll and John Lindell.
Tradition is good, if it is the right tradition. 1 Cor 11:2, 'I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.'
49:40 “pure as the driven snow”. It’s the snow being blown by the wind, as in “driven by the wind.” So you are close when you say the “fallen snow.”
Praise God, all glory to Him forever and ever Amen.
Thats a sharp outfit dood!😃👍
One thing people who hasn't grown up in environment doesn't know what it was about. Just like now if you grew up in the 60's knew how it was with black when the couldn't use certain water fountains or would have to ride in certain seats on the bus.
The kids now didn't grow up in that situation. It's around 60 years. Each generation is bit different.
Thank You!
"Thus he declared all foods clean" is NOT in the greek. Therefore, it is added in commentary to sway the reader to think he changed the law of God which is unchangeable or else he fails the Deut 13 test. we must rightly understand the Bible. he was saying, food doesnt effect your salvation.
What makes you say that "he declared all foods clean" is not in the greek?
Christopher Walls that is a subtext added by the scribes and translators after the fact. It is a provable fact what this person said. The oldest manuscripts that we have today don’t actually have that in there. That’s why so many people call the NIV the “nearly inspired version”. Of course it’s not just that version. It’s atrocious to add that in to messiahs words and trick readers into thinking he inspired it

"that is a subtext added by the scribes and translators after the fact" is the statement I'm asking to be supported by evidence. We can talk about the meanings of words, but everything I've seen definitely has the phrase "καθαρίζον πάντα τὰ βρώματα" roughly meaning "is cleansed all food" or "all food is cleansed." What manuscript does not have that phrase?
Christopher Walls and also in the verse right before the one I just mentioned it talks about it being food for the “faithful” Indicating a specific, pre established list of food that was meant for the people of God. Hope this helps

I think “driven snow” in the expression you quoted is referring to driven by wind, drifted-not having a car drive on it. Pure as the driven snow would be snow blown about in drifts.
In Mark 9:49 What Did Jesus mean by saying "Everyone will be salted with Fire?" Is this a Hebrew idiom? Or something else? Just curious because he says everyone will have this done.
1:05:00 oof! The scribes come from Jerusalem added tradition and spoke from the seat of Moses, the pope comes from Rome added tradition and speaks from the seat of Peter. Yet they don't seem to have gotten the wake up call in the 1600s, not even right now.

Hi I don’t know if you read comments on old videos but I really feel confused on coveting as you spoke about it? I thought it was like sinfulling wanting things or like being jealous of stuff people have that you don’t but in the video you describe it kinda by repeating I want so like I jump to maybe it’s just obsessing over wanting things? But then you describe it as like a desire for something and just like ... I’m confused mike? Like ... here’s an example in my life my laptop is getting kinda older I want a new one occasionally I look at them or like enter give aways I see for some if I’m in the mood to bother with that but like is that coveting?
Just a reminder. You can see others and compare them. Look at your self, examine it. Isn't that what you are doing???

I was reading Judges for the first time and I was getting very upset with the people of Israel because they kept doing the same thing over and over again. God let me know that he didn't write it for them, they were all dead, but he wrote it for me. The Bible is a book about God's nature and my nature.
I just got to the part where you told about how you had the same revelation... lol
Wow, very good
Which translation are you using Pastor Mike? Thank you for the teachings!
He uses ESV and NKJV version usually not sure what he was using here
I really appreciate what Mike Winger does. Here, I think his comparison between tattoos, Christmas and alcohol is a logical fallacy - apples and oranges comparison (and maybe pears, since there are three). For example, one relates to a negative command, one relates to history, and one has no prohibition. Pairing an objective matter with one that is more subjective gives the appearance of credibility with the issues that are more subjective. I would add that, in my observation, the desire to see unity and fellowship has lead Christians to compromise and to dumb down or twist truth. Disagreeing is hard, and it takes work, and it is sometimes awkward. The emotion-driven "thought police" who hear "unity" feel the need to shut down disagreement as fast as they can. That isn't healthy, and it isn't a biblical goal. The Bible doesn't seems to put ideas like love, commitment and truth above unity. The plea for unity can also be an argument in itself. Here is what I mean: If one person thinks tattoos are okay, and the other says they are not, the one who says they are okay can call for unity, complaining that the subject causes division. In that case, the one who is a proponent of tattoos, as a practical matter, wins.
They where trying to convince themselves and others that Jesus wasn't "of God" so they were accusing the disciples to say "see He isn't from God because He doesn't teach the traditions"

Please help with Mark 10 and Luke 16..... may I not marry again if my husband still lives?
He left after 25yrs with another woman.....
Helet Van Blerk Jesus said unless one spouse commits adultery , you can’t divorce. So if I am correct, yes you can remarry since ur former hubby commuted adultery.
Both Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 (KJV) says (which is clearer):
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, EXCEPT it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Matthew 19:9
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. Matthew 5:32
Since all is inspired of God, they must agree, so I see it as saying the same thing in Mark and Luke. So as I understand it, the "innocent party" (you) can remarry since your ex committed adultery. But then you need to be careful who you remarry.....

What do you do when you find yourself in a Christian School who has implemented traditions as rules, like face shaving and how long your hair can be, what kind of clothes you can wear? When we are told to obey our authorities and leaders in scripture but they have shifted into using their rules as "fruit testers" by saying things like "well if you were truly humble you would just shave your face or wear this"? But really we aren't to view those things as requirements in the first place right?
That sounds concerning. It’s one thing to have rules for school. It’s another thing to make them an inherent moral code. Pretty sure only God can test fruit because only he knows the heart. Believers can only observe fruit and even then we don’t see clearly.
@Mike Winger: 34:00 I accept your argument that false teaching should be confronted, but is it mutually exclusive with approaching them privately first? An email at least?
Love your channel regardless, keep up the great work.
Yes, tradition kills Scripture when normative experience is imputed upon Scripture.
Jesus said to the rulers of the temple that when they sit in the seat of Moses what they said was from the Torah. Its when they stood and taught that they referred to the traditions. That is what is meant. Jesus was telling the people to only listen when the teachers were sitting in the seat of Moses.
Especially the tradition of mixing covenants, the new covenant righteousness comes through faith in Jesus.
May I suggest you actually read Jeremiah chapter 31. Beside the fact that the Gentiles have no part in the new covenant there is no mention of jesus there at all. There is mention of forgiveness of sin though. Seems there is no need for jesus to have forgiveness. Makes one think...
Big Shmooz
All scripture is inspired by God, not all scripture applies to new covenant Christians. The blood of Jesus ratified the new covenant which is a better way than being justified by the works of the law. All scripture is profitable for doctrine ,reproof, and correction, if your understanding of a scripture does not align with other scripture, you have an incorrect understanding. Is not God the God of the gentiles also? Gentile believers were not to follow the Jewish covenant. Also Paul says there is neither now Jew nor gentile, slave or free, male or female, all are one in Christ!
It is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to forgive sin. Jesus died once for all sin, past, present, and future. “Jesus” there is no other name given to men by which they must be saved. If Jesus is not your Lord in whom you trust, He does not dwell in you or have any part in you, nor you in His kingdom.
@@fredc61'All scripture is inspired by God,'
My response, it is not merely through inspiration. All Scripture was *authored* by God. God is the one who wrote Scripture. Not man. & the new test is NOT Scripture. That was written by men. (who actually contradict God)
'The blood of Jesus ratified the new covenant which is a better way than being justified by the works of the law.'
My response, how can you possibly get better than what God does? That doesn't even make sense.
& in your opinion what is better about it?
& what new covenant are you even talking about? The only new covenant I know of is the one spoken of in Jeremiah chapter 31. (which has nothing to do with jesus)
'All scripture is profitable for doctrine ,reproof, and correction,'
My response, is that not a quote from Timothy? The new test was not even written yet at the time this was said. Thus this is not even a reference to the new test. Even according to your beliefs this is *not* referring to the new test.
'if your understanding of a scripture does not align with other scripture, you have an incorrect understanding.'
My response, this is my point precisely. The new test is *not* Scripture. It is a man-made collection of documents. The new test *never* aligns with the word of God. It is filled with contradictions of the word of God throughout.
'Is not God the God of the gentiles also?'
My response, that depends on if said Gentile obeys God's seven Noachide laws or not. (because God commanded him to do so) In Scripture God is NEVER referred to as God of the Gentiles. He is referred to (by God) *only* as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, and the God of Israel. (speaking of the nation of Israel)
'Gentile believers were not to follow the Jewish covenant.'
My response, exactly. They have the Noachide covenant to follow. (the seven Noachide laws)
'Also Paul says there is neither now Jew nor gentile, slave or free, male or female, all are one in Christ!'
My response, ahh Paul... Thanks God for Paul. He really did such a good job messing things up so as to show every Jew how false the teachings of the new test are. Every word you just quoted is literally anti God. God said he separated Israel from the nations to take Israel to Himself. Israel is God's inheritance These are both explicitly stated in the Torah. Do you truly expect any person who believes in God to take the word of a mere man who contradicts God, over the words of God Himself? You really need to contemplate what you are doing here.
'It is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to forgive sin.'
My response, that's true. God is the one who forgives sin. But God says that through the bringing of certain offerings through the blood certain sins are forgiven.
'Jesus died once for all sin, past, present, and future.'
My response, there is no atonement for sins not yet done. That doesn't even make sense. & there is no positive concept to somebody dying for another's sins. This contradicts the Torah and the rest of Scripture over and over which explicitly states that each man dies for his own sins.
& you really must think God is so cruel as to have somebody die for another person's sins. Imagine if your next door neighbor committed a sin and I went and killed your wife and said to your next door neighbor 'now your sin is atoned for'. What would you think of me? & then I would kill your children and say to you that not only is your next door neighbor's sins atone for, the sins of the entire world are atoned for. What would you say to me then?
'Jesus is not your Lord in whom you trust, He does not dwell in you or have any part in you, nor you in His kingdom.'
My response, this is so true & I thank God every day for this as I don't think anybody would want to be where jesus is right now. Let me give you a hint as to where jesus currently resides.... the temperature where he is at is way way way north of 1,000 degrees.
Through Jesus’s sacrifice and sending the Holy Spirit to dwell in me, I have been delivered from depression, perversion, and materialism, life is so much better not being in bondage to the things that were destroying my life and relationships, may your eyes be opened long before the anti christ sits in the rebuilt Holy of Holies.
@@fredc61 'Through Jesus’s sacrifice and sending the Holy Spirit to dwell in me, I have been delivered from depression, perversion, and materialism,'
My response this is what is known as a placebo. It's real to you, but it's not reality.
There was a woman who suffered from these types of things as well. Her children made her a fake lottery ticket that they told her she won. Her entire life changed at that point. she no longer had a negative outlook on life. Things literally tuned better for her. But it was all based on a fraud. The same is true with you. I believe everything you're telling me except for the source for it.
Btw... just so that you know, if that is the reasoning you are going by, the fact is people of all religions have had supernatural experiences which have caused them to have life changing results for the better. Does that mean that their religions are also true?
On a personal note, you may wish to know that God actually TOLD ME personally in regard to jesus to follow what the Rabbis say. (the Rabbis say jesus was an idolater who also enticed others to idolatry) So if one is going to go by their own personal experiences rather than what God says in scripture, then the answer from God is that jesus was an idolater who enticed others to idolatry. I personally never use that as a reason to tell others that jesus is a lie (despite this being the case) because I go by God's word ALONE In Scripture to convince others.
You need to trust ONLY in the word of God (rather than your own personal feelings) as everything else is merely a test of your love for God. This is what Deut chapter 13 says. This is the word of God on the matter.
'may your eyes be opened long before the anti christ sits in the rebuilt Holy of Holies.'
My response, there is no such thing. God Himself is the one who is going to build the Temple (actually it is already built but it awaits us in heaven at the moment I am typing this) and at that point all people will know God. This is straight from the word of God. Do you think God lied? You either believe God or you believe the new test.
As Elijah the Prophet said I quote... '21 And Elijah drew near to all the people and said, "Until when are you hopping between two ideas? If the Lord is God, go after Him, and if the Baal, go after him." And the people did not answer him a word.'
Are you going to go after God or are you going to go after jesus? (baal)
As for myself, I will choose God every time. I do suggest you do the same lest you fall into the pit jesus fell into. A pit he can never escape.

Hey Mike, do you know Brian Holdsworth? An interesting Catholic channel.
He did some videos about protestants, he is a nice guy actually, but it'd be interesting to see your take on certain stuff down the road.
Unity is great regarding peripheral things. But the Bible does draw lines against fellowshipping with people engaged in willful sin and doctrinal heresy. Also, i think sometimes we have to protect ourselves and our family from toxic and abusive individuals.
As a Biblical Unitarian, I have been to several trinitarian churches. They usually don't have any problem at all with me not belieiving in the trinity and are even willing to talk about the issues.. But there has been at least one church that didn't want me there at all. Not being a salvation issue, I believe we can all fellowship together. In fact ,in most churches there is usually no mention about the trinity, or of whether or not Jesus is God, even though they might officially believe it. I think this is because even trinitarians don't agree with each other on the nature of God. It shouldn't be a divisive issue in my opinion.

What are dispensations? Does anybody know? What is a dispensationalist? When I went to the Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) the Pastor almost had a heart attack when he thought I was a dispensationalist. I didn't even know what it meant..Is it the same as believing in Covenants?
I realize this comment is almost a year old, so you may have already found the answers to your questions. Just in case you are still curious about it...
"Dispensations" refer to different eras of history in which God relates to people differently. For example, one dispensation would refer to the era between the Fall of Man and the Flood, another would be the era from the giving of the Law of Moses until the crucifixion of Christ. A "Dispensationalist" is simply someone who believes in Dispensations. Some of the other distinguishing features of Dispensationalism are belief in the Rapture, a literal 7-year Tribulation, and a literal 1000-year Millennium. The system was crafted by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s, and is held by many different churches. A lot of churches based on older traditions, including the LCMS, have a deep dislike of Dispensationalism, which is very different from their eschatology.
@@DamonNomad82 Thank you.......
If one stumbles on accepting the atoning blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, can we as gentiles fall back on a yearly sacrifice of a lamb without blemish?? Assuming we follow Levitical law regarding this type of offering as the seat of the Pharisees have instructed??
Sir, having a thought even without will placed behind it is still sin is it not?? - But I say unto you, Matthew 5:28: That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
When Jesus says “to lust after her” he seems to add some measure of intentionality. This would mean I didn’t just look but I looked “to lust”. I think this includes an act of the will, even if it is a very quick act which doesn’t take time to deliberate.
