Ep 882James Talarico's crazy Gospel of Thomas teaching: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 72)

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:16 {James Talarico & the Gospel of Thomas} Can you offer your thoughts on James Talarico and his teaching relating to the Gospel of Thomas?2. 28:58 {Converting from Judaism} I’m a 19 year old Jewish believer. I want to get baptized and go to church, but my rabbinic/secular family is against it and some don’t know about my faith yet. How can I wisely share my faith without messing up?3. 33:36 {How to Walk by The Spirit} Regarding Romans 8:4-6, how do we walk according to the Spirit and set our minds on the Spirit?4. 39:21 {Denomination Boards = Eldership?} I’m wondering if elders are solely a local church function/office/role. Is a woman who is serving on a district or national denomination board biblically considered an elder?5. 43:38 {Biblical Justification: Works Based?} I’m struggling DEEPLY with James 2:24 vs. Romans 3:28. Your best argument in the video you did on this 7 years ago was the definition of "justified." But my NIV Bible says "considered righteous."6. 57:24 {God’s Calling, My Desires & My Fear} I feel drawn to teaching God's Word, but I’m also afraid. How can I tell if it's truly a calling from God and not just my own desire? I understand the responsibility and that scares me. Any guidance?7. 1:02:12 {Serving, Selfishness & Complaining} I am really bad at serving without complaining. I resist change even when I know I’m going to get on board in a day or two. May I have counsel to let my selfish guard down?8. 1:07:47 {“God’s Not Done…”?} Do you think there is anything wrong with the phrase “God isn’t done with you yet”? Can something like suicide diminish the amount that God would have used us?9. 1:11:05 {“Purity Culture”: Too Far?} What is a biblical perspective of “Purity Culture”? Is it actually something that goes too far? I'm not just talking about abstinence before marriage, but the idea of purity rings, no dating, etc.10. 1:16:35 {Miraculous Fakery: How do we Not Discard All Miracles?} I have found myself despising the miraculous due to the number of fakers out there. How do you guard against this as you have been working through exposing the fakery of the hyper-Charismatic church?

Ep 881What is a Jew according to the New Testament? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 71)

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Intro1. 0:07 {The Meaning of “Jew”} When the New Testament uses the word “Jew,” who is it referring to?2. 23:41 {Serving When We Don’t Want To} I know I’m supposed to serve, but to be honest, I’m always tired and would rather go home and relax after church. I’m ashamed of that, considering all Jesus did for me, but it's true. Lately I challenged myself to just obey with a good attitude when asked, but even then, I feel so guilty knowing I didn’t want to.3. 27:17 {Celebrating Black History in Church?} Is it appropriate for a church to dedicate a service in celebration of Black History Month? If not, in what ways could it be a cause for concern?4. 30:21 {Believes in Purgatory – Still Saved?} Can a person who trusts Christ for her eventual salvation but thinks she might have to go to purgatory first be saved?5. 37:09 {Bad Tree Bearing Good Fruit?} In Philippians 1:15-18, Paul rejoices when Christ is preached from strife and selfish ambition. How is that not a bad tree bearing good fruit (Matthew 7:18)?6. 44:22 {The Divine Seed Doctrine?} Have you heard of the “Divine Seed” Doctrine that states that Christ was born solely of the seed of God and not from the egg of Mary and that His flesh was a kind of divine flesh?7. 49:01 {About Jesus or About Israel?} As someone who engages with Hebrew Roots folks often, how can Matthew interpret “Out of Egypt I called my son” to mean Jesus, when the Old Testament passage is clearly about Israel?8. 51:52 {Building Materials: Works or Teachings?} I've heard it taught that the building materials in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 are a person's works, but reading the verses beforehand makes me think it's referring to teaching in the church. Thoughts?9. 55:27 {Can a Christian Attend a Catholic Mass?} My husband’s family is Catholic, and we are traveling to see them for Easter. They want us to go to mass with them, but I feel uneasy about it now that I am an active Protestant believer. Should we go?10. 59:08 {Lectio Divina & Spiritual Formation?} What are your thoughts on the Spiritual Formation movement including practices like Lectio Divina in non-denominational churches?

Join live to ask a question https://BibleThinker.org Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:13 {Man of God Syndrome?} What is “Man of God Syndrome”? Responding to At Boshoff’s message.2. 43:05 {False Teachings & Family Conflict} My brother attends At Boshoff’s church and wrote me off after I challenged At's teachings. He doesn't want to speak to me. It's terrible for the family. I don't feel like reconciling. How do I handle this?3. 45:04 {Bad Leadership but Good Teaching?} The only church in our town doesn’t have a healthy leadership structure. The main pastor acts like an overlord. No council, no elders. He is proud and very arrogant. But the teaching is good. What do we do?4. 47:52 {Evangelism: Not Afraid of Hell?} What do you say to someone who says they know they're going to Hell, but doesn't even want the way out?5. 53:36 {Leaving Family for Military Service} I am a former member of the military and have a desire to go back to an elite unit. However, I feel anxiety leaving my wife and daughter for periods of time. How do I reconcile this?6. 57:04 {2 Tim: Soteriological Implications?} What are your thoughts on 2 Timothy 2:24-26, and how does it inform your soteriology?7. 1:02:09 {Jesus: “Everlasting Father”?} How do we reconcile Jesus being called "Everlasting Father" in Isaiah 9:6?8. 1:05:59 {Baptism = Membership?} What are your opinions on the best practices for meaningful church membership? For a specific example, should baptizing someone immediately make them a member?9. 1:12:49 {Can Fallen Angels Be Forgiven?} Does Hebrews 2:16 imply that fallen angels can never be forgiven? If not, what else could it mean?10. 1:19:41 {People Pleasing vs. God Pleasing} I often obsess over others’ opinions of me and seek emotional validation deeply. How do I become freed from the need to be validated by others, and is there a way to satisfy that need in the Lord?1:26:07 Bonus Q! Who is your favorite Lord of The Rings character, and why?

Ep 876Quick Update on Cover-up Culture and 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 69)

Taking questions from the live chat. Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:21 [Cover-Up Culture Update} Do you have an update on the cover-up culture exposure project? 2. 15:42 {Un-Learning Without Deconstructing} For those who used to be a part of Bethel, what advice would you give to those who are deconstructing things learned there without losing faith? I attended their ministry school years ago.3. 22:22 {Inter-Faith Marital Conflicts} My wife is Catholic, but I have an issue with our kids going to mass due to it being a propitiatory sacrifice. Am I doing more harm (by causing strife in the marriage) than good by not exposing them?4. 24:55 {Who Was Theudas?} Who was Theudas in Acts 5? Is it a contradiction?5. 31:20 {God’s Will & Our Choices} Some people pray for God to remove a potential partner from their life if they aren’t the right fit. I’ve tried this, too, but God doesn’t always remove the partner in question. Why is that?6. 34:35 {One of Mike’s Favorite Verses} What is your favorite Bible verse and why? P.s., I liked your cat video.7. 37:47 {Adam & Eve Clothed with Lamb?} Do you think God used a lamb to clothe Adam and Eve in Genesis 3? Paul says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” the lamb!8. 41:07 {How to "Test All Things"} 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 says to "test all things," but gives no context as to what the testing looks like. I am a Bethel alumni who doesn’t want to throw away prophecy. I need to know how to test all things.9. 49:30 {Third Temple: Location?} For third temple prophecy, is the location specified? Does it HAVE to be the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, or can it be built somewhere else in Israel?10. 54:02 {Mental Illness vs. Demonic Possession} What is your opinion on whether or not the spike in mental illness in this world could potentially be demon possession? 11. 57:07 {Non-Competitive Evangelism} I do a lot of evangelism, in an older tradition that has not focused on evangelism for a long time. How do I evangelize without it feeling like it’s a competition with newer, trendier churches?12. 58:58 {Parents & Adult Children’s Sin} How should parents of adult children respond to a son or daughter's sinful lifestyle? If your daughter lives with her boyfriend, should you have them over for dinner together?13. 1:01:13 {Earning vs. Receiving God’s Love} How do I go from trying to earn God’s love, to just receiving it?14. 1:03:44 {How to Depend on The Spirit} I know that as believers, we live life through the Holy Spirit and He gives us strength to obey God. But how do we depend on the Holy Spirit's strength? What does that look like lived out?15. 1:06:17 {Finding Meaning & Contentment} I feel spiritually empty despite recent financial blessings. I’m not lacking, yet discontent. What gives life meaning, and would serving or evangelizing help fulfill me?16. 1:10:27 {Why Didn’t Jesus Come Sooner?} If Jesus was always God’s “Plan A,” why did He wait? Why not reveal Jesus sooner? 17. 1:14:57 {Explain the Latter Rain} Can you explain the “Latter Rain” in Joel 2:23-29 from a biblical perspective? This seems to be a root of a lot of all this cover-up culture.18. 1:25:20 {Handling Injustice: Work vs. Church} How should injustice/unethical actions in the workplace be handled in comparison to how we handle sin in the church?19.1:26:39 {Fig Leaves & Fig Tree: Connection?} Was the fig tree cursed because it was fig leaves that Adam & Eve covered themselves with?20. 1:28:08 {Romans 13 & Corrupt Government} Many preachers use Romans 13 to promote supporting our current governmental leadership. Yet those same preachers were anti-Biden or anti-Democratic when he was in office. How do we walk that out rightly? When to rebel against government: Click Here The conversation...
