Q: Did God Create Evil?
Q: Dr. Mike, I’ve heard two schools of thought on the question, “Did God Create Evil?” I’ve heard you say, when the question was asked you in a number of your seminars, that everything God created was ‘good” and as a result of disobedience, to the commands of God, “evil” became present as a correction to anyone who would transgress His Laws. Many people will look at the example of Job, Chapters 1 & 2 where Satan's heart's desire was to
Q: How Much Power Does Satan Have?
Q: I’m a young Christian; and my question is, “How much Power does Satan have?” A: The thing to remember is that ONLY GOD is "OMNI" (ALL in ALL). As one Christian teacher so eloquently stated, "The basic Christian theology centers around the proposition that there is "one Almighty" omnipotent; omniscient, omnipresent, omni-benevolent "God" (embodied in Jesus), and one less-powerful, less-knowing, less-present, all-evil devil-god named "Satan." A host of "angels," "demons," "spirits," and other supposedly immaterial entities of varying superhuman but less-than-supreme power
What Does The Bible Say About Demons?
Q: Can you share what does the Bible say about Demons? A: The Bible doesn't start out talking about demons, but it introduces us to the Chief Prince of Demons - SATAN, himself. We are introduced to Lucifer (now SATAN) - the angel in perfect beauty, the son of the morning, the one that led one-third of the angelic host against God Almighty in rebellion. This is the beginning of demonic activity for demons, followers of Satan. Satan is exposed in Isaiah
Q: Can Someone Curse A Born-Again Believer?
Q: Can you shed a little light on this question for my family? Can someone curse a born again believer or put a curse on them without their knowledge and make it stick? A: It’s interesting that this question has come up, recently, based on emails and phone calls that I’ve received. Without being lengthy in my response, I’ll simplify the answer by stating, the Bible tells us in Proverbs 26:2, “That like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved
Q: Can a Christian Be Demon Possessed?
Q: I have seen friends of mine who are believers, influenced by spirits in their bodies, in terms of sickness, and some in their minds and emotions. Can a Christian be Demon possessed? A: Emphatically NO! For a true believer to be demon possessed, it means an evil spirit has completely taken over the individual - spirit, soul, and body. The main reason this is virtually impossible is because, when a person is truly born again, the Spirit of the living
Q: “By His Stripes, We Are Healed”?
Q: Dr. Mike; can you explain to my Bible study group what the Bible means in Isaiah 53:5, when it says, “By His stripes, we are healed,” and does it mean physical healing, since we hear so many ministers use it that way? A: Praise the Lord to you and your Bible study friends! That is indeed a good question, and the debate from various denominations over this verse, rages on. I’ve given it a serious theological overview, in relationship, to
SITUATION CRITICAL BUT NOT HOPELESS!
By: Dr. Mike Jones Down through the annals of time when God’s people sought relief from the problems of life, they would immediately turn to the Psalms, because they reflect the experiences of men and women in the life of faith. And Psalms has been crowned the most loved of all books of the Old Testament. Psalm 77 is about Asaph [King David’s music director] who faced the exact same problems that many of us are facing today. Each of us can think
WE MUST KNOW GOD BY REVELATION, NOT BY EXPLANATION
By: Dr. Mike Jones The Apostle Paul said in his Epistle of Timothy (4:13), that, "We are to give attention to reading God's Word, to the exhortation of God's Word, and to the teaching of God's Word."These things are to be our constant practice throughout the duration of our lives. "Reading refers to public reading of scripture in the church's worship service, followed by the explanation of the passage that was just read. "Exhortation" challenges those who hear the Word to apply it
THE BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO THE HUMAN EMOTION CALLED GRIEF!
By: Dr. Mike Jones Saints, God in His all-knowing wisdom knows all that we go through in this sin-cursed world: He knows that life will throw us curves, during various battles, but we have to endure to the END! The Word of God declares in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Notice, the passage didn’t say, “for everything, give thanks: But in everything, we’re to give thanks!” Why? The Apostle
HOW CHRISTIANS BIBLICALLY SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER
By: Dr. Mike Jones Ephesians 5:21 says, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ…” If we correctly understand Godly submission, then we can influence and transform every relationship in our lives. Let’s look at five things we must do in order to submit to one another. 1. Bare Each Other’s Burdens Burdens can be manifested from various areas of our lives, such as sins, failures, anxieties, and even temptations. Galatians 6:1-2 says that, if a brother [or sister] is caught in
