Q: What should be the Christian response to those that say, “If God is Righteous and Good, why does He permit so much violence in the world?”
Q: What should be the Christian response to those that say, “If God is Righteous and Good, why does He permit so much violence in the world?” A: It behoves us to first, understand the difference between God’s Sovereignty and His Providence, to gain a better understanding of what’s happening around us and in the world. Sovereignty reveals God’s absolute rule/control over the entire world – now and forever. It means that He hasn’t nor ever will depend on anyone or
“I’m HAPPY With My Life … Why Do I Need Jesus?
Q: How should we as Christians respond, when people say, “I’m HAPPY with MY life. Why do I need Jesus?” A: [Now] That question is notorious in the life of any true believer. We both know of family and friends that would literally give you the shirt off their backs, because they are simply good-hearted people. However, they’re quick to say, “Things are going well with my family, and I’d like to leave everything in my life, the way it is!
Are Those Who Never Heard The Gospel Going To Hell?
Q: You sufficiently answered the question, of “Whether I should immediately ‘assure’ someone of their Salvation, after I witness to them;” My follow-up question is, “Are Those Who Never Heard The Gospel Going To Hell?” A: [Thank You!] I find a more pressing issue of getting salvation right, here in America! As I attend funeral services, of loved ones of my extended church families, around the region, I’ve actually left the services wondering about the relationship some of the eulogists have
WHAT IS THE TRUMPET OF GOD?
Q: Hey Dr. Mike, I’ve been enjoying the readings of the Endtime; and want to know your thought on the phrase, “The Trumpet of God.” Is the Bible talking about a literal trumpet sound, or is it referencing the voice of God?” And since I can’t get out to church on a regular basis, I’ve been enjoying Dr. Fred Price and your teachings! A: Hi Ron; thank you from the heart: I will do my best to give you a sound
Q: Melchizedek … A Type of Christ or not?
Q: Dr. Mike, I’ve been studying Melchizedek, and found very little about him. Can you share, whether or not he was an appearance of Christ? Thanks, your friend, Ron. A: From the heart, thanks Ron for your question, about, who is this “Bible mystery man” called Melchizedek that’s found in the Old Testament in Genesis (14), and in the New Testament in The Epistle to the Hebrews (7). I called him the “Bible mystery man,” because sacred Scripture indicates to us that
Q: Dr. Mike, a group of friends want me to ask you, if it’s a SIN to get a small Tattoo?
Q: Dr. Mike, a group of friends want me to ask you, if it’s a SIN to get a small Tattoo? A: Believe me, when I say, that this question is one of the most asked (of me) by Christians, that I consider non-theological, biblical, or a doctrinal issue. God’s covenant people (Israelites) in the Old Testament were forbidden to mutilate their bodies like their counterpart (Gentiles) were doing, some for demonic rituals, etc. In Leviticus 19:28, the Jews were commanded, “You
Q: Dr. Mike, the Bible instructs us to “work out our Salvation,” and yet, we tell non-Christians that works don’t save them. What’s the difference?
Q: Dr. Mike, the Bible instructs us to “work out our Salvation,” and yet, we tell non-Christians that works don’t save them. What’s the difference? A: I too have heard many people, on the other side of Christendom say the exact thing, but just worded a little differently. And some Christians say that explaining it to people, isn’t as easy as it seems, since we’re constantly telling our unsaved love ones, that ‘good works’ do not get a person into heaven
Q: Based on God’s Sovereignty, does man truly have a free will?”
Q: Based on God’s Sovereignty, does man truly have a free will?” A: First, let’s decide to agree that free will does not mean that human beings can do any and every thing they please. The Apostle Paul gives us insight into this theological fact, when he says in 1Corinthians 10:23, “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying.” Martin Luther, the most noted German Theological, struggled greatly with the relationship between God’s sovereignty
What does the Bible say about our pets and Heaven?
Q: Dr. Mike, we simply love our pets (dog & cat)! What does the Bible say about our pets and Heaven? A: The answer to this question [sort of] takes the same path as a previous one, on whether God abhors ‘Cremation’ ” as opposed to ceremonial burial? The Word of God doesn’t speak for or against the soul of an animal, nor whether or not “ALL” pets go to Heaven! However, we do find throughout sacred Scripture that God breathed the
Differences between the Baptism with the Holy Spirit and the Infilling with the Holy Spirit?
Q: Dr. Mike, during your Saturday seminars and general teachings, I’ve heard YOU say that, being “baptized with the Holy Spirit” and being “filled with the Holy Spirit” are different: can you share a little knowledge with us? A: That’s a really good question. Whenever and wherever I’m teaching one of the 15 Saturday seminars, I try to stay consistent with my theological explanations, regardless of the denomination that I’m conducting the seminar(s). The reason that I made this statement, is
