Bible Q & A

Q: Dr. Mike, when you teach the Book of Revelation, I hear you mentioning the “Abomination of Desolation;” what is it? A: Good question: and thanks for attending the Revelation seminars that we’ve conducted over the past several years. I’m glad to see the interest in the study, but more so grateful to see the saints, not shy away from studies in the Book of Revelation. For so long, have Believers approached me before our studies, and had literally said, “I

Q: Dr. Mike, as a Christian, what should be my response to those that I meet who show hostility towards the Gospel? A: Good question, my friend: as believers, we have all experienced it in our early introduction to Christianity; and hostility to the ‘Word of God’ has grown worst. At times, when I’m witnessing to those outside of the “Ark of the Covenant of Grace,” you can literally here the resentment of Holy God in their words, and most of

A: First, let’s tackle the subject matter of judging, since people ask this question a lot because they want to be merciful in their judgement.  They often time quote Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged." People are quick to bring up this passage, to suggest that Christians should never criticize anyone for anything.  Christendom knows that society at-large hates theological and moral absolutes because they expose societal sins:  and if a believer attempts to address

Q:  Matthew 11:12 talks about the kingdom of heaven suffering violence and I’ve heard it explained as meaning we’re to fight spiritual warfare to receive/maintain our blessings. Can you explain the verse theologically? A:  Theologians and Biblical Scholars [alike] have concluded that this is one of the most controversial verses in sacred scripture, because Christendom does not think of Heaven as a place of violence. The verse says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven

Q:  Matthew 5:39 says, “Whosoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.”  Does this mean Christians shouldn’t defend themselves? A: Excellent question! First of all, permit me to honor you for your due diligence of sacred scripture: meaning, you would be surprised at the number of Christians, who read passages, without giving serious study to the text, thus, draw an inadequate interpretation of the verse(s). For example, Psalms 37:4 says, “Take delight in the LORD, and He

Q: "Dr. Mike, after I witness Christ to someone, should I immediately assure them of their Salvation?” A: That’s a good question! However, Biblically, it isn’t up to us to grant the new convert their assurance of Salvation, but it is the work of the Holy Spirit to grant the believer that assurance, as expressed in Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." Throughout sacred Scripture, there are many promises that the Holy

Q: “Dr. Mike, what does the Bible say about Christians owning guns?" A: That is a good question, my friend! I’m sure this question is based on the amount of violence we have seen/witnessed here in the States as well as around the world. We also know that some Christians march around State and Federal prisons at night, when someone is due to be executed at midnight. They say Christians are to be forgiven (true) and Exodus 20:13 says, “Thou shall

Q: Dr. Mike, can a "true 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 God takes up residence in the spirit of mankind. If a Christian doesn't spend quality time studying in the Word of God,

Q: If God has already "Justified" us as the Bible proclaims, then, why are we supposed to seek His forgiveness, if we sinned? Help us with this question! A: That is a good question because Romans 8:1 states, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." And we as Christians know this to be true, because it says Justification takes care of sin (past, present, future),

Q: Dr. Mike, a dear friend wanted me to ask you the question, when someone who is severely 'mentally challenged', and has the mind of a little child, dies; Do they go to Heaven? A: Young lady, that is a good question to be hit with, while walking out of church on a beautiful Sunday afternoon … smile! I could tell by the expression on your face, that your friend, intended for YOU to bring her back a satisfying answer
