Today's Timestamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 1:08 {Images of Jesus: Idolatrous?} Are images of Jesus breaking the 2nd Commandment?
2. 32:44 {Nathan: A False Prophet?} Did Nathan prophesy falsely when he told David to build the temple (2 Samuel 7), specifically when he says ?the Lord is with you??
3. 37:43 {Bad Things: Always Spiritual Warfare?} How much should we attribute things to spiritual warfare? I know some who say almost anything bad that happens is warfare, especially when leading up to or following good things in life.
4. 45:23 {Different Churches & Matthew 18?} With a narcissistic family member from whom I experienced abuse, if they deny wrongdoing and I don?t attend the same church, would Matthew 18 still apply? What would be the best path?
5. 50:44 {Greek gods Assignment: Idolatry?} My 11-year-old son refused to create a poster in school on a Greek god, feeling it was too idolatrous, and speaks out for Jesus in class. I love his boldness for Christ, but would you consider this idolatry?
6. 52:23 {Millennial Kingdom: Festivals Then & Now} People quote Ezekiel 44:24, Zechariah 14:16-21, and Leviticus 23:41 to say we will continue to celebrate the appointed festivals in the Millennial Kingdom. So why would we stop now and celebrate Easter, etc.?
7. 1:00:26 {Emotional Intentionality & Scripture?} Is there a way to make Scripture affect you emotionally so you become encouraged, or do you just have to wait for God to do that in your heart?
8. 1:05:25 {Apostles: 12 or 13?} In Acts 1:21-23, the Apostles select Matthias to replace Judas as the 12th Apostle. Later on, Paul becomes an Apostle. Was Matthias replaced as an official Apostle or were there then 13 Apostles?
9. 1:14:27 {Polygamy in Song of Solomon?} I want to receive from Song of Solomon, but it is difficult for me because it looks like the context is polygamy (Song of Solomon 6:9). What do you recommend?
10. 1:21:12 {Online Ministry: Respecting Church Elders} I want to start a Christian YouTube channel. Do I need to talk with my local church? I am currently an elder intern and want to know if I should wait till they lay hands on me (1 Timothy 5:22).

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 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?

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 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?

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. 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?

Bethel knew and didn't warn...

I believe that Bob Hartley is one of the key threads running through the past 40 years of the Charismatic church (Bethel, IHOPKC, Morningstar, etc.). If we pull on that thread, we will see the truth that there is a long-standing Cover-up Culture in the movement and some of the biggest names have participated in it.

In this video, I interview the son of Bob Hartley, Jedidiah, who exposes his father's fake prophecy grift and how Bob used it to prey upon women. I also interview Michelle Seidler and let her talk about multiple witnesses that have come forward. The reason Jedidiah has gone forward, as well as Michelle, is because Bethel leadership didn't do the right thing years ago. From all appearances their actions are consistent with Cover-up Culture and self-protection. But it is the job of the leaders to protect the people, not themselves.

Today's Time Stamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:19 {Interracial Marriage: Biblical?} Are mixed-race or interracial marriages biblically permissible?
2. 19:09 {Evangelism: Relationships Required?} I've been told that you should build a relationship with someone before sharing the Gospel with them. Thoughts?
3. 22:12 {Others? Consciences: Our Responsibility?} Are we responsible if someone is emboldened to disobey his conscience because of something we posted online (Romans 14)? I wish to show games I like on my channel, but I?m afraid they may convict a brother.
4. 35:18 {Are ?Titles? Biblical?} Is calling people by a church title, like Pastor, biblical? Nowhere in Scripture is anyone referred to by anything other than their first name, and Matthew 23:7-12 seems to forbid it.
5. 44:23 {Scriptural Coincidences?} Abram's father, Terah set out for Canaan, but stopped in Harran, where he died. Later, God calls Abraham to Canaan. How do I know if something like this is a coincidence or meaningful?
6. 45:58 {Should Abortion be Prosecuted?} Do you think it's biblical that women who have abortions should be legally judged the same way as someone who commits murder?
7. 51:50 {Balancing Ambition & Contentment} As a Christian, how do you balance ambition and contentment?
8. 54:29 {James: Works Based Salvation?} In Galatians, Paul says Jews from the sect of James were Judaizers. If the book of James was written before the Acts 15 council, do you think James in his book taught a works-based salvation?
9. 1:00:40 {Why No Marriage in Heaven?} Jesus clearly says there is no marriage in Heaven. But God established pre-fall that it is not good for man to be alone and He gave Eve to Adam despite Adam being in communion with God in the garden. Thoughts?
10. 1:03:31 {Appropriate Motivation for Hard Work} Is it wrong to reward myself for doing the things I have to do? I worry that it might cause me to work for the wrong motives. But it's so hard to get myself to do things.

The kids go to school and learn ideologies that undermine the Christian faith. Later they end up voting, teaching, and running the country with those ungodly ideologies directing them. This has been going on for a while now and the results are devastating. But we can turn the tide if we just stop sleeping on this. Where education goes, the country goes. In this video we are going to outline not only the problem but the solutions we can all participate in, to take back universities for Christ and change our country.

1. 0:18 {Hell: Traditional vs. Conditional?} What is Mike?s perspective on the topic of Hell?
2. 26:14 {Marriage, Heaven & Vows} Regarding 1 Timothy 5:11-12, if there is no marriage in Heaven, and when a spouse dies we?re free to remarry, how then does a young widow break her first vow?
3. 33:34 {Purpose of the Tree of Life} If we were created as eternal beings, then what purpose did the Tree of Life hold in the Garden of Eden?
4. 36:00 {Matthew 6 ? But Poverty?} How do we reconcile Matthew 6:25-33 with the reality of poverty? I'm comfortable saying "even He doesn't, God is still good" but this passage sounds almost Word-of-Faith.
5. 44:13 {Purgatory in the Book of Matthew?} I've been curious about the word ?until? or ?till? in Matthew 18:34. Does this imply purgatory?
6. 50:57 {Jesus Given a Higher Name?} New believer here, and my question is, since Jesus is YHWH, why is He given the name above every other name in Philippians 2? What does that mean?
7. 56:46 {Can All Believers Prophesy?} Does 1 Corinthians 14:31 mean all believers can prophesy? If all can teach in some way without being teachers (i.e., teaching their children), can all prophesy without being prophets?
8. 59:37 {Hyperbole in Scripture} The Sermon on the Mount has some hyperbole (cut off your hand). How do you know what is hyperbole and what isn't, specifically regarding anger?
9. 1:05:08 {Does God Use our Sin?} Do you believe that God uses the consequences/results of a sin for His own purposes, like a one night stand resulting in a child? A reference could be Joseph and his brothers.
10. 1:08:07 {How/Why was Jesus Amazed?} Matthew 8:5-13 says that Jesus was amazed at the centurion's faith. In other places in the New Testament, Jesus knew the thoughts of the Pharisees. If Jesus could read thoughts, how could He be amazed?

Kirk Cameron's recent video has been like a match to dry grass, igniting a debate about Hell that has been building for some time now. Since a number of people are putting my name in the mix (and misunderstanding my own position), I want to bring clarity and also offer some advice for us all to lower the temperature on Hell. Sorry, the puns just come.

Letter to Congress and senate:

Subject: Please Defend Persecuted Christians in Nigeria, Stop the Coming Massacre, and Get Mark Walker Appointed as Religious Freedom Ambassador.

Dear [Congressman/Senator] [Last Name],

Credible reports state that there is a coming massacre of Christians by Fulani Ethnic militia who are planning to hit on or before Christmas, the towns of Riyom, and Bokkos in Plateau State and in Kafanchan in Kaduna State, and in Agatu in Benue State. See TruthNigeria.com for details. Do something to stop the coming Christmas massacre in Nigeria and protect persecuted Christians there. Get Mark Walker an immediate hearing to be appointed as the ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom. If he fills that position he could help the situation and he has been denied a hearing for 8 months now, even though Trump appointed him.

3. 51:37 {How to Serve the Lord} How do we serve the Lord, biblically? Sometimes I feel like I don't know how to serve the Lord.
4. 53:55 {Finding Our Identity?} Can you explain the trend about finding our true identity? Jamie Winship and others talk about knowing your true identity. Is it more specific than who we are in Christ (i.e., that we?re redeemed, etc.)?
5. 59:30 {The Minimum to Be Saved?} What's the minimum one must believe to be saved? Romans 10:9? But anything else? What about polytheists who believe it? Or if someone said, "Yes, Lord Jesus died and rose, but His death wasn't for our sin"?
6. 1:03:49 {Impassability ? Does God Have Emotions?} Could you help me understand impassability? I?ve heard that God doesn?t have emotions, meaning we can?t move God to ?feel.? What about Deuteronomy 32:21 which sounds like we can move God to feel things?
7. 1:09:47 {Discouraged by Free Will} My son is bothered by free will because it causes so much pain and suffering and that God foreknew we would sin. How can I encourage him?
8. 1:14:41 {Developing Belief as an Analytical Person} How do I develop a belief in Christianity? It feels very difficult as an analytical person. I?ve been looking into apologetics but still can't develop faith and I strongly want to live righteously.
9. 1:20:35 {Trusting God While Questions Linger} I keep thinking I?ll trust God easier if I get more questions about God answered. But I?m sad about things like unmet godly desires. Remembering God?s promises doesn?t help. How do I fix this?
10.1:25:45 {No Sin After Salvation?} I have difficulty knowing what the Bible means when it says that someone who sins after being saved was never saved. I know that?s a very simplistic version, but it has always caused me anxiety.

There is an information war going on about Nigeria right now. While persecution has intensified, we are flooded with lies about how there simply is no Christian persecution by Muslims in Nigeria. Completely deceptive propagandists are appearing all over, including one platformed by Tucker Carlson recently, who denied the truth about Christian persecution.

Yet, just this last week we've seen 300 kids kidnapped, one church assaulted during a live stream of their services, and another incident of 50 kids being kidnapped, all due to Muslim violence and terror squads.

1. 0:16 {God?s Presence Upon Death?} Will we see God right away when we die?
2. 12:33 {Churches Promoting Events w/Drinking?} Should churches publicly promote local events involving alcohol? It seems unwise and inconsiderate toward those with weaker consciences. Some say we shouldn't legalistically refuse to advertise these opportunities for fellowship since drinking in moderation isn't sinful. Thoughts?
3. 25:34 {Hating vs. Loving Evildoers} Psalm 139:21-22 and Psalm 5:5 seem to imply it is good to hate evil people who oppose God, but Matthew 5:43-48 seems to encourage the opposite. Where is the proper balance between these things? Thanks!
4. 34:29 {Sin Struggles = Double Minded?} What's the difference between being a double-minded man (James 1:8) and being a sincere Christian struggling with sin and the flesh's love for sinful things (Romans 7:14-25)? Can you draw a distinction?
5. 42:02 {Wrath: An Attribute of God?} Do you think "wrathfulness" is an attribute of God, or that wrath is just a practical outworking of His attributes of justice and holiness?
6. 45:29 {New Christian Channel: Am I Ready?} How much planning should a person do before starting a Christian channel? How do you know when you?re ready and it?s time to post your first video?
7. 49:05 {Adam?s 930 Years} Could Genesis 5:5 mean Adam?s 930 years began after the Fall, so he and Eve lived much longer in the Garden? Romans 5:12 says death came through sin; did Adam start dying then?
8. 51:09 {Family Member Teaching Falsely: Help!} How do we deal with a family member (brother) who is actively teaching a false gospel (Hebrew Roots but Jesus is not God)? He has started his own group in person and is also sharing online.
9. 56:06 {Specific Prayers: Controlling God?} When we pray, should we be specific? Or is that trying to control God?
10. 59:06 {How to Stop Scrolling So Much!} In a generation that grew up scrolling, how can we overcome it? It?s not inherently sinful, but it sucks up so much of our time today. Biblical advice on this?

Letter to Congress and senate:

Subject: Please Support H. Res. 220 and S. 2747 to Defend Persecuted Christians in Nigeria

Dear [Congressman/Senator] [Last Name],

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria, who are enduring one of the worst humanitarian and religious freedom crises in the world today.

Thousands of Christians have been slaughtered, kidnapped, raped, and displaced by radical Islamist terrorists. Entire villages are being wiped out while the Nigerian government turns a blind eye?or, in some cases, is complicit in these atrocities. The United States must not remain silent in the face of such evil.

I strongly urge you to:

Support and co-sponsor H. Res. 220, introduced by Congressman Chris Smith, which calls on the U.S. Department of State to re-designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for its severe violations of religious freedom.

Support and co-sponsor S. 2747, Senator Ted Cruz?s Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which would impose targeted sanctions on Nigerian government officials who enable or ignore persecution and human rights abuses.

Designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and enforcing targeted sanctions are critical first steps in holding the Nigerian government accountable and protecting vulnerable Christian communities. These measures will help ensure that U.S. foreign policy truly reflects our nation?s commitment to religious liberty, justice, and human dignity.

Please stand with the persecuted, and let your voice be one of moral leadership and courage in defense of the innocent.

Thank you for your time, compassion, and commitment to defending freedom and human rights.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City, State]

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Intro
1. 0:03 {Is Diwali Demonic?} Can you tell us a bit about Diwali? And is it OK to wish others a ?Happy Diwali?? How should Christians view the holiday?
2. 13:31 {Words of Comfort vs. Prophecy?} Is there a distinction between God speaking words of comfort to someone and the gift of prophecy? I?ve understood that anytime God speaks, it is by definition, prophecy and subject to testing.
3. 19:01 {OT Food Laws vs. Homosexuality?} If we aren't required to keep the Old Covenant food laws, then why are the unclean animals described in Deuteronomy 14:3 with the same Hebrew word for homosexuality in Leviticus 18?
4. 23:50 {When Christians Devalue Scripture} I?ve heard believers say things like, ?The Bible isn?t the fourth member of the Trinity.? Phrases like this can feel dismissive of the Bible. How should we take this from well-meaning Christians?
5. 29:07 {Demonic Fear & Sexual Temptation} This may sound like a silly question, but do you have any advice for someone scared of demonic or evil forces when going to sleep? It doesn't help that I often fall sexually at night, too.
6. 34:12 {Contradicting Passages?} In the plague after the incident at Peor, 24,000 people died. But, in 1 Corinthians 10:8, Paul says 23,000. How can I hold to inerrancy?
7. 47:48 {Spiritually Guiding our Loved Ones} My mom is a baby Christian (2 years), but she feels most comfortable in an Orthodox church. She seems to be growing in her faith there. Should I intervene or just let her go where she feels led?
8. 54:56 {More Important: Faith or Love?} 1 Corinthians 13:13 says love is greater than faith. So then why do we treat faith as more important for grand things like salvation?
9. 1:00:54 {Witnessing to Muslims} My Muslim friend is willing to go through the Bible with me. Which books should I start with?
10. 1:03:31 {Ladies: Is Makeup Sinful?} Is it sinful for a Christian woman to wear makeup? Nothing too much, but makeup nonetheless. How about nail polish? I don?t personally feel a conviction on this, but I heard a Christian say she ?saw people in Hell for it.?

Taking your questions from the live chat in this weekly Q&A helping you to learn to think biblically about EVERYTHING

https://BibleThinker.org

I plan to continue engaging more in not only discussing these issues but in intentionally mobilizing believers to take action in the public square to preach the Gospel (above all), to change minds, rescue our countries, change laws, transform institutions, and become activists. Why? Because that's what it means to think biblically about loving your neighbor and seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Since today is the third rapture prediction we've had so far this year (from the same people each time) I thought we could look at some of the videos they have been posting that are spreading a harmful delusion.

Joshua Mhlakela went public again after his second failed rapture prediction. It's real bad.

Today's Timestamps:

0:00 - Intro
Bonus Update: 0:24 {Breaking News!} Covering a ?Rapture Cult Update? from the recent false prophets.
1. 12:53 {Is Christianity a Cult?} In light of Mhlakela's serious error, how can Christians be assured that we aren't also blind members of a cult? Scholars are quick to explain t:hat "near" means quickly, unexpectedly, or suddenly. Then why don't they translate "tychikos" (soon) as such? 2 Peter 3:8-9 is also frequently used as an excuse.
2. 18:11 {Is Repeated Repentance a Deception?} I have heard you say we should keep repenting. But, if we are continually repenting for the same sin or sins, has it lost its value? Is our repentance real or are we deceiving ourselves?
3. 23:54 {Politics in The Pulpit?} To what extent is it appropriate or necessary for pastors to address current events & politics from the pulpit? How should church members respond if these topics aren?t addressed thoroughly or at all?
4. 37:22 {Mark of the Beast: Always Wrong?} If a man takes the Mark of the Beast to provide for his family, how will God judge him?
5. 43:40 {The Church?s Voice = God?s Voice?} My dad said, ?The church asked me to be a deacon, so it must be God.? Is it wise to treat the church?s voice as God?s voice?
6. 48:38 {About Clear Truth Media} I think you?ve written for Clear Truth Media and they are platforming Mark Driscoll. With your stance on unqualified pastors, how do you respond?
7. 55:44 {Dietary Laws: Fulfilled?} How did Jesus fulfill the dietary laws? I?m considering Jesus grafting in Gentiles into the faith to be the fulfillment of that (Matthew 5:17, Acts 10:9-15).
8. 1:01:22 {Overcoming Anxiety: Death & Illnesses} My wife often deals with anxiety. She is a firm believer, but struggles with the fear of death/illnesses. Not for her own sake, but because of the people she would leave behind.
9. 1:09:17 {Gentle Guidance for a Friend in Error} How can I share the Gospel with a friend who lost his mom and believes she?s watching over him? I know it?s necromancy, but he?s hurting and I fear sounding harsh.
10. 1:11:51 {500 Witnesses: Verifiable?} I?ve got a question regarding the reliability of the 500 Witnesses source. Atheists say that we have no way to verify that the number Paul gives is accurate. How would you answer this?

TODAY I want questions that represent skeptics, new believers, and doubters in general. I welcome the hard questions and will try to answer them well. The first question is to simply examine an X post from Zachary Levi where he says a bunch of stuff about the Bible that I thought would be of interest to skeptics, doubters, and new believers, as well. I'm not roasting the man, just walking through his thoughtful post and providing some insights.

0:00 - Intro
1. 1:38 {Responding to Zachary Levi} A respectful analysis of Zachary Levi?s beliefs on the Bible.
2. 32:56 {The Witness of the Spirit} If I know I believe the Gospel is true but I don?t feel any ?witness of the Spirit,? what does that mean? I?m trying to trust with my whole heart.
3. 40:13 {Has God Abandoned the World?} My dad is an unbeliever but acknowledges God?s existence through creation. He believes that God created the world and then abandoned it. How can I help show him that God is still with us to this day?
4. 43:30 {Should I Worship a God I Don?t Like?} A common objection I hear is, "Why should I worship a God I don't like?"
5. 45:58 {Is My Sin Even My Fault?} Why am I accountable to God for my sins when I was born with a sin nature? Shouldn't a loving God provide the basic remedy for creation when they had no choice in being created and no choice regarding their nature?
6. 53:57 {Was YHWH Beaten in Battle?} How can I defend 2 Kings 3 when skeptics use it as an example of Yahweh being beaten in battle by another entity in driving the Israelites out, despite them being prophesied to win?
7. 1:05:46 {Learning to Evangelize Better} I converted just over a year ago and had some success evangelizing to my community (libertarians). I've read the New Testament and I?m working on reading it twice now. What can I do to evangelize better, especially to libertarians?
8. 1:07:20 {How Can God Have a God?} I heard this question in my group: God is considered the Most High; thus Jesus (who is God) is the Most High. Therefore, why does Jesus claim that He has a God above Him in Revelation 3:12?
9. 1:12:26 {Does Doubt = Incomplete Faith?} I?m a new believer who used to be a Jehovah?s Witness. I gave my life to Christ a few years ago, but sometimes I wrestle with doubt. Does that make my faith incomplete?
10. 1:18:40 {Acceptance Only of a ?Higher Power?} My daughter (13) believes that there may be a higher power, but doesn?t believe in Jesus. I?m trying to figure out how to reach her in an effective manner. What advice can you offer?
11. 1:21:59 {The Sadness of Animal Suffering} Why is there such a great amount of suffering that animals need to go through? Wouldn?t a good God create it to where the animals didn?t have to suffer and still feed us?
12. 1:34:19 {Answered Prayer or Coincidence?} How can I tell if God actually answered my prayers or if the outcome was just a coincidence? Many Christians say God has spoken to or guided them without evidence. How can such claims be tested objectively?
13. 1:37:23 {Does God Send Us to Hell?} How can I convince my brother that God does not condemn us to Hell and that it?s our own free will that puts us there? He has stopped talking to us due to that belief he has.
14. 1:41:33 {Explaining the Trinity to Muslims} I have a Muslim friend who is struggling to understand the Trinity and asked, ?how can God be 3 things all at once, and how can He be crucified?? Can you explain it in a way that a Muslim will understand?
16. 1:45:51 {Street Healings: Are They Real?} Are street healings real? Christians pray for strangers who report relief from pain and various illnesses. But atheist Derren Brown has produced similar results. Are these miracles or psychological effects?
17. 1:51:07 {Is Mental Illness a Fallacy?} I'm in a faith crisis. I shared my mental health struggle with my discipler, and at the next study, they called mental illness a fallacy. I walked awa...

Today's Time Stamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:01 {Failed Rapture Predictions} Learning the lesson: An autopsy of recent rapture predictions.
2. 1:16:42 {The Mortality of Adam & Eve} Is Adam and Eve's mortality a result of the poison in the forbidden fruit or the declaration of God in Genesis 2:17?
3. 1:19:57 {Ezekiel 37: 2 Separate Events?} In Ezekiel 37, Ezekiel is told to prophesy to dry bones, and they come together, but he had to prophesy again for them to come to life. Do you think this is referring to two separate events?
4. 1:23:05 {Honoring Tradition & Embracing Change} How can pastors balance honoring tradition with leading forward when influential members of the congregation resist technology, new ideas, and change?
5. 1:25:14 {The Value of Fallible Gifts} If all the gifts of the Spirit are subject to human fallibility, what is their true value for the Church? Why would God tell us to eagerly desire them if they can so easily be misused or misunderstood?
6. 1:27:33 {Repentance after Spiritual Drought} Do you have any advice for someone who was raised Christian, who professed faith and went to church but still lived a worldly and immoral lifestyle, then has recently come to Christ in repentance?
7. 1:29:17 {A ?Word? from the Lord?} I go to a Calvary Chapel and there are a lot of ?words? given to people. They?re not unbiblical but seem sort of vague, like I?m not able to test them. Should I only accept it if I can test it?
8. 1:32:46 {Gathering while Disabled?} In light of the Scripture that states not to forsake the gathering together, I am concerned about that because I am disabled, do not drive, and do not have consistent transportation to church. Advice?
9. 1:34:45 {Enoch & Elisha ? In Heaven?} Enoch and Elisha are said to be in Heaven in the Old Testament. Why did Jesus say in John 3:13 that no one has gone to Heaven except Him?
10. 1:36:14 {Let?s Grow in Christ!} Can you please share a few suggestions, just for fun and faith-building, for us to do this weekend to grow in Christ (besides going to church)?

It has taken months to gather this evidence and the testimonies of many people to expose Steve Koko. He calls himself "the Billy Graham of Panama," and he has done many outreach events and is well known in Latin American countries. But, there is a very dark side to him that must be exposed. We cannot allow someone to do what Steve Koko has done to multiple young women, who thought he was a man of God. Not only that, we need to expose the people behind the scenes who have worked to cover up for Steve Koko.

Why is there a Rapture craze going on right now? I think it traces back to this mystery man, "Brother Joshua." He appeared out of nowhere about 3 months ago and said God took him to Heaven multiple times and Jesus told him the date of the Rapture.

Today's Time Stamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:59 {Rapture Craze?} Can you address ?Brother Joshua? and the current rapture craze?
2. 36:29 {PSA + Crucified WITH Christ?} How does the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement harmonize with us being ?crucified with Christ? (Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:5-6)? The substitution element seems to be missing, and wrath seems confusing if we are to affirm crucifixion with Christ.
3. 40:57 {Pre-Wired to Sin?} Why are Adam and Eve guilty when the brains God gave them are what guided them to make their decision to sin? They processed the situation based on the way God had pre-wired them.
4. 44:15 {Eschatology in The Psalms?} Is it valid to interpret Psalms 42-49 as talking about the End Times (Tribulation in 42-44, Lamb?s wedding in 45, God?s reign/judgment and New Jerusalem with a river in 46-49)?
5. 50:00 {Obedience Leading to Hardship?} My walk with Christ feels harder the more I obey. I lost family, friends, and even my girlfriend. Sometimes I wonder if this is even worth it, yet I still long to stay faithful. Any advice?
6. 55:42 {Baptismal Regeneration: False Gospel?} Would you consider the teaching that baptism is necessary for salvation to be a "different gospel? (Galatians 1:6)? If not, how would you distinguish it from the Circumcision Party's false teachings?
7. 1:00:31 {Malachi 4: About Jesus?} Is Malachi 4:2 talking about Jesus? Some translations like NKJV vs. NASB seem to reference it differently.
8. 1:05:30 {Loving God Above Family} My husband is an unbeliever. He recently told me he can't be a believer because he idolizes me and our kids and couldn't love God more than us. Beyond praying, how can I address this biblically?
9. 1:09:14 {Church Membership but Rarely Attending?} I?m a youth pastor at my church, and several families at my church consider themselves members but are only present a few times per year due to weekend activities. Should we address this strongly?
10. 1:14:43 {Trusting God More in Prayer} I fully believe God never fails and His decisions are always right and good. But it's still hard not to feel like He's "let me down" when I pray SO hard for something and it doesn't happen. It feels like He's absent and it (ashamedly) makes me question the parts in Scripture where He invites us to ask and SAYS He'll act.

2. 35:26 {Teaching Kids Theology} What are some easy ways to explain hard theological concepts to my son as he grows up? He?s only 9 months old right now, but I want to be ready.
3. 38:22 {Jesus? Stripes vs. The Cross?} My former church claimed that Jesus' stripes specifically paid for our sickness, while the cross paid for the rest, using Isaiah 53:5 to support it. Is this biblical?
4. 41:14 {Paul & The Cretans} What point was Paul making in Titus 1:12 when he quoted a "prophet" who said ?Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons??
5. 46:59 {Prenups Always Bad?} Is a prenuptial agreement ever biblical? My fiance?s parents want us to get one. In my opinion, prenuptial agreements undermine the permanence of marriage, its covenantal nature, trust, and unity.
6. 53:47 {Supporting Israel?} How do we know whether supporting what Israel is doing in Gaza is or isn't God's will?
7. 1:05:48 {The Moses Model: Biblical?} Given your Calvary Chapel background and current focus on church leadership structures vulnerable to abuse, how does the Moses Model ensure checks and balances on authority in the church?
8. 1:14:57 {Does History Really Repeat Itself?} With the death of Charlie Kirk, it feels like we are in times similar to the 60s. Is it biblical to think that history repeats itself, or is mankind just predictable?
9. 1:17:30 {What?s a Backslidden Christian?} What's a backslidden Christian? Is this the same as a Christian with thorny soil (Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8)? And are they a slave to sin if they do sin? I'm afraid I'm this Christian.
10. 1:28:16 {Anxiety: Am I Doing Something Wrong?} I am a Christian and struggle with anxiety. It especially happens when I try to speak or when God is using me for something even around believers. It cripples me. Am I doing something wrong?

10 years ago the Supreme Court decided they could redefine marriage, to include same-sex couplings. What they did was legally wrong, morally wrong, and irrational.

Today it seems the tide is shifting. Good. But we need to know what was wrong with their actions and not just jump on the bandwagon of "that's not popular now."

My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:02 {Flat Earth Use of Scripture} Do I still say that Flat Earthers misuse Scripture?
2. 22:11 {Why Some Reject & Some Accept Faith} Could you help me answer the Calvinist who asks what the difference is between a person who has faith and a person who rejects faith? If we are all equally sinful, why do some choose Christ?
3. 31:15 {Why My Prayer Isn?t Answered} How can I tell why a prayer hasn?t been answered? How do I know if I just have to wait longer, or if some sin is hindering my prayer, or if the answer is simply ?no??
4. 40:50 {The Bible: Chronological Order?} Is it helpful to read the Bible in chronological order?
5. 44:31 {The ?Who? of Romans 7} Who is Paul talking about in Romans 7? Himself, some hypothetical believer, or someone else entirely?
6. 51:29 {Single but Living As Married} My fiancée moved in, is sleeping with me, using my credit card, is on my home title and health insurance, and we?re filing taxes jointly. But our wedding ceremony is not until 2027. I want to break up with her. Is that OK since we?ve made no vow yet before God?
7. 55:08 {Sin Before The Law} In Romans 5:13, what does it mean that sin was not counted against those before Moses gave the law? Did all those people receive eternal salvation?
8. 1:01:54 {Are You Reformed?} I think you've said that you consider yourself Reformed, and I wondered what you mean by that. What Reformed doctrines do you accept besides the ones that constitute basic orthodoxy?
9. 1:04:26 {Does Porn Disqualify from Ministry?} What are your thoughts on pastors struggling with porn/lust? Is it disqualifying? I stepped out of ministry to heal. Many ministers my age (23) struggle. Please pray. I?ve seen progress, but I still fight.
10. 1:10:05 {Evangelism amid Difficult Family Dynamics} What?s the appropriate way to navigate being an uncle and sharing the truth with nieces/nephews when your sibling doesn?t have a biblical worldview?
1:18:41 Bonus ? Prayer Request: Can you please pray for my mom? She?s been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her prognosis looks good, but we are praying for God's miraculous and complete healing.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

1. 0:10 {Child Preachers: Biblical?} Are ?child preachers? biblical?
2. 15:29 {Expository Teaching: Biblical?} I asked a pastor at my former church why they chose to teach in a topical style rather than expository. He said we do not see examples of expository teaching in the Bible. Is this true, and a good reason?
3. 26:50 {Baptism for the Dead?} Does 1 Corinthians 15:29 give validity to the Mormon practice of getting baptized for the dead?
4. 34:14 {Struggling with Sexual Temptations} I struggle with same-sex attraction, unfortunately. How can I be sure that I?m not reprobate/unregenerate? The idea of evanescent grace scares me.
5. 42:44 {Apostles vs. Disciples?} Does it matter whether I refer to Jesus' followers as the 12 Apostles or the 12 Disciples?
6. 43:23 {Sheep, Goats & The Rapture} Have you considered the sheep and goat judgment of Matthew 25 in light of the timing of the Rapture? The Rapture HAS to be before the tribulation in order for the Earth to be repopulated.
7. 47:24 {Having the Gift of Prophecy} How does a Christian know if they have the gift of prophecy?
8. 49:35 {Does God Choose to Love Us?} Does God choose to love us? If He Himself is love and He can't help but love us, why should we feel honored by it? Doesn't that take away the meaningfulness of it?
9. 52:28 {The Fear of Failing} I?m afraid I?ll sin or lead myself away from God if I make the wrong decisions about personal convictions, theology, and even daily choices. How should I deal with the fear of being wrong?
10. 55:38 {Divination Worked: Am I Unsaved?} A man who practices divination visited and gave info about me that was about 60% correct. Does this mean I?m not saved if his spells seemed to work on me?

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:33 {Restoring Predators?} As a policy, does God command us to restore predators to ministry, as Rick Joyner teaches?
2. 23:52 {?Not Many?? So Should I?} How does someone answer the call to be a teacher or a pastor if they feel called but is concerned about the warning in James that not many should become teachers?
3. 28:36 {Bringing Concerns to Leadership} I am 16 years old, attending an egalitarian church. I?ve been watching and studying your Women in Ministry series. How do I go about discussing this issue productively with the leaders of my church?
4. 34:42 {?Red Letters?: More Important?} Are Paul's words in Scripture less important than Jesus' words?
5. 38:47 {The Best Counsel for Couples} My wife and I recently starting doing pre-marital counseling for other couples in our church. What is some of the best advice we should give these couples?
6. 41:37 {Paul?s Gospel?} In Philemon 1:19, why did Philemon owe himself to Paul? And why does Paul call it "his" gospel (please also see Romans 2:16 , 16:25, 2 Timothy 2:8)?
7. 49:32 {Worship Lyrics: Thinking Biblically} I have a question about a worship song. Do you think it is appropriate to sing ?Let Your holy fire consume us??
8. 51:55 {Are Annulments Biblical?} What are your thoughts on annulments? Are they biblical and are they ever wise? Or are people just trying to justify their divorce?
9. 57:53 {Hats: Disrespectful or Stylish?} My mother-in-law is "old-fashioned." What's your opinion about wearing hats in church? How about pastors preaching in them?
10. 1:01:42 {Why We?re Never Satisfied} How do I deal with not being satisfied in life? I feel guilty because God should satisfy me and be all that I need, but I don't feel satisfied or content.
11. 1:06:19 BONUS: Can you PLEASE give a shout-out to my husband, Michael (non-believer) who started listening to you because I wouldn't stop talking about it! Please pray for him!

They are trying to put Mike Bickle back in ministry and using false prophecy to do it! This is bad.

Delight in God's Word.

This reading is from the NET Bible. Unlike most translations, the NET allows for people to use it as much as they want without worrying about getting special permissions for quoting long sections. This is why I'm using it here. The copyright warnings of most modern translations forbid me from making this kind of video without approval from the publisher.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

1. 0:58 {Pastors Using AI?} For pastors preparing sermons: What is the proper use of AI (artificial intelligence)? What are some rules of wisdom we can apply when using AI as a helpful tool?
2. 27:23 {?Soul? in the OT/NT} How do we reconcile the Old Testament use of "soul" to mean a whole person with statements by Jesus implying that a soul is a separate entity? He seems to be contradicting what the Old Testament teaches.
3. 31:24 {Why is Open Theism Unbiblical?} I know in the past you have been against Open Theism. Why is the idea of a non-completely settled future unbiblical? I lean toward Open Theism due to God?s freedom.
4. 33:53 {Praying for Personal Blessings: Selfish?} Can you share your insight on how to get over the feeling that it?s somehow wrong to pray for personal blessings? Objectively, I know it?s not, but the feeling often creeps in, as if it?s selfish.
5. 37:47 {?Lord? in the OT vs. NT} Is the title of Lord used in the same capacity in the New Testament as it is in the Old Testament (for example, in John 13:13)?
6. 42:26 {Confessing to Others} You've recently been calling leaders out publicly. Do all Christians need to publicly confess our sins, or only leaders? Is confessing to God and repenting enough, or should we tell each other?
7. 51:36 {The Importance of Jesus? Lineage} Why was it so important for Jesus to be born from Seth vs. Cain, Isaac vs. Ishmael, etc., since He came to save all mankind?
8. 53:49 {Should Shame Linger?} As a kid, even after apologizing, I felt my parents' shame/disappointment/anger in the room until a period of time would pass. I know my sin harms my intimacy w/God even though Romans 8:1 is true, so I can't get over the "awkward in the room" feeling when I try to pray or draw near to God after sinning. Should shame linger for a period of time?
9. 57:09 {Church Leadership: Unbiblical Demands?} A church I know has an Intellectual Property document that staff signs and it says they can't pursue personal creative projects without the leadership?s permission. Is this biblical?
10. 1:02:04 {How to Draw Near to God} How can someone draw closer to God?

If anyone involved in the cover-up and harm comes forward with genuine repentance and confession we will FULLY forgive and embrace them in brotherly love. That would not only be acceptable, it would be an ideal goal and hope.

Today's Timestamps:
1. 0:19 {Would They Abort Jesus?} What are four Bible verses to learn, to support the pro-live position? Would they have aborted Jesus back in history, based on current cultural reasoning we hear?
2. 21:43 {Sins Against Us or Just God?} If someone commits a sin against you (abuse, etc.), are you also owed justice? Can Jesus forgive the justice you are owed, or was the sin committed only against God and not you (the sinner is now saved)?
3. 29:54 {Choosing Between Two Churches} What would you do if you had to choose between a Calvinist leaning church and a church that believed women could be elders? Both churches are otherwise healthy and doctrinally sound.
4. 33:14 {Interpreting the ?High Places?} How should we understand the "high places"? 2 Chronicles 15: 17 and other passages condemn the kings for not tearing them down, but in 1 Samuel 9: 12, Samuel attends and blesses a sacrifice at a high place.
5. ?44:43 {Processing Past Relationship Issues} My wife had several partners before our marriage. I wasn?t around, but I feel like I have to forgive the men. Am I being weird? How do I bring this to God, because I'm still losing sleep 10 years later?
6. 49:02 {Different Translations = Different Meanings?} Why does 1 Samuel 13:1 have different meanings in different translations (like the NKJV and NIV)?
7. 58:25 {Is the Holy Spirit All-Knowing?} Does Matthew 24: 36 imply that the Holy Spirit doesn't know everything? How does that work if the Holy Spirit is God? I've been struggling with the Trinity lately.
8. 1:04:36 {Submitting to a Non-Christian Husband?} How should a newly Christian woman apply Ephesians 5: 22 and Colossians 3: 18 when her husband has not yet come to Christ and is not supportive of her conversion?
9. 1:10:46 {Galatians: The Meaning of ?Quickly?} When the Galatians quickly deserted the Gospel (Galatians 1:6), did "quickly" refer to the time after Paul left to when they heard false teaching, or how easily they turned once they heard false teaching?
10. 1:15:19 {Historical Data: Biblical Christianity} Is there any historical data on biblical Christianity outside the Catholic Church before the Reformation?

Bonus Q! 1:21:59 What?s your favorite Star Wars film?

Shawn Bolz is the false prophet. Elijah Stephens is the Christian who was misled and greatly harmed. Bethel is the church that I believe could have stopped it, and chose not to, endorsing the fake prophet and failing to deal properly with him and warn their people when evidence came out that he was lying in God's name. This video is made to help stir up positive change in the movement.

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:02 {Temptation Increasing vs. Satan Fleeing?} The Bible says when we resist the devil, he will flee (James 4:7). So why does it often feel like spiritual warfare INCREASES when we try to buckle down and resist sins of the flesh, addictions, etc.? When I resist, it doesn't feel like the devil flees - it feels like he tries even harder to get me to fall. Why is this?
2. 12:17 {What is Blasphemy?} What is the biblical understanding of blasphemy? A Catholic online was complaining about how Protestants blaspheme Mary. How do we biblically define blasphemy, and what verses support this?
3. 20:16 {Paul vs. Barnabas} What are your thoughts on the dispute between Paul and Barnabas over Mark in Acts 15:37-40? Were either of them at fault? What can we take from it?
4. 30:41 {Seeing God in Creation} Despite Romans 1:20, I do not inherently see God in His creation. I choose to believe in God, but I feel like an ant lacking the capacity to contemplate my surroundings, let alone a creator.
5. 42:26 {How to Share Concerns w/Leadership} Can you share some advice on how to approach church leadership with concerns regarding what appears to be false theology creeping into my church? Specifically: a lot of Hillsong/Elevation songs, TPT references, etc.
6. 49:43 {When AI Grows Too Much} If AI (Artificial Intelligence} keeps developing to where society at large starts to call it sentient, would we as Christians have to stand in opposition to that?
7. 52:20 {Resolving 2 Challenging Passages} 1 Chronicles 20:5 and 2 Samuel 21:19 seem to disagree with each other. How should we think biblically about these two passages?
8. 57:50 {Protection from Legalism} How do you keep yourself from legalism? I?m breaking an addiction right now, and it feels like I?m doing it to be saved instead of because I am saved. It?s also been hard to rely on God lately.
9. 1:03:45 {Is MMA OK for Christians?} Is participating in MMA wrong? I'm a new Christian and I'm conflicted and want to do right. I've just signed with a big promotion but now I don't know what would please God. Please Help!
10. 1:10:25 {The Role of Physical Attraction} What role should perceived physical attractiveness play in choosing a partner?

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:10 {2 Thess. 2 = Sola Scriptura?} Does 2 Thessalonians 2 teach Sola Scriptura?
2. 10:51 {Jesus? Deity: Why isn?t the NT Clearer?} In Titus 2:13, Is Paul explicitly saying Jesus is God and Savior? Why do New Testament authors often not address Jesus as God and appear to place Jesus outside of the Godhead (e.g. 2 John 1:3)?
3. 20:04 {Biblical Recipe for Anointing Oil?} The book of James tells us that if any are sick they should call for the elders and get anointed. Shouldn?t we be using the anointing oil recipe in Exodus 30:23-25 instead of just olive oil like most people use?
4. 27:03 {Personalities in Heaven} I believe that we will still have our personality in Heaven, but what about unborn babies? Will they walk around in Heaven like non-player characters since they haven't formed their own personality yet?
5. 32:22 {?Buried with Him in Baptism?} Can you help me understand Colossians 2:12? Is this water baptism? Which baptism is it?
6. 38:13 {Where Was God Before Genesis?} Where was God before Genesis 1? If space, matter, and time was created, what was before it? Heaven and the angels already existed, so where was the ?nothing? where God created everything in Genesis 1?
7. 45:01 {About Jesus? Omnipresence} I have a question about God?s nature. Since the Godhead hold all of their being in one indivisible present, in theory, could Jesus have been on Earth and in Heaven concurrently?
8. 53:12 {The Atonement: The Importance of Jesus? Deity} Why did Jesus have to be God to be the acceptable sacrifice? If it was Jesus? humanity that died on the cross and not His divine nature, why did Jesus have to be fully God?
9. 59:34 {Can Christians Benefit from Secular Therapy?} What are your thoughts on secular therapy for a Christian? Self-help and self-idealization seem antithetical to the Bible. Why isn't the counsel of Scripture and other believers enough?
10. 1:06:54 {Must Jesus be Lord of Our Lives?} Does receiving Christ begin with you trusting in His death and resurrection, or is there more to do, such as submitting to His lordship and then we are saved?

1:12:15 Bonus Q! What are your 3 favorite books of the Bible, and why? No cop-outs! Thanks so much for your ministry, Mike, it's such a blessing.

Micah Turnbo, as of 5/3/2025 is a pastor/seer/prophet at Vineyard Northwest in Ohio. He teaches many people through online ministry and has more visions and supernatural experiences than anyone in the Bible, it seems. I'll share evidence that he is a false prophet, deceiver, and shares obviously false experiences and even teaches some things that contradict the Bible.

Why do this? Because we are commanded to test all things. When someone has millions of eyes and ears on their prophecies and visions it's important that they be subjected to public testing.
