  • Who Is The Tempter?

  • 14 years ago
  • Dear Mike, Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: Jas 1:14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. If we say that God created a devil named Satan to do the tempting fo... [read more]

  • Free Moral Agency The Fall

  • 14 years ago
  • Hello Mike Concerning your e- mail and article about your understanding of the Godhead; I have read it and believe I grasp your view, although I'm not sure I agree with you. Even as you wrote, I am willing to have my understanding change if I am wrong. I wouldn't believe in the Trinity simply becau... [read more]

  • Does God Foreknow Our Decisions?

  • 14 years ago
  • Mike, I heard someone actually say God does not foreknow our individual decisions. They used Gen 22:12 and Deu 8:2 as their prooftexts. Read those verses and they, at least on the surface, seem to back up this claim. But I know of many scriptures that declare God's foreknowledge of the future, so I ... [read more]

  • Free Will And His Sovereignty

  • 14 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I just read your post entitled "Are All Choices In Life Predestined By God?" and would like to comment. As is the case for most (all) people, when we come to see the sovereignty of God in the scriptures, it is a struggle to accept. I'm sure it took you some time too. I used to believe in to...

  • God Lead Us Into Temptation?

  • 14 years ago
  • Mike, I enjoyed reading "After the Counsel of His Own Will" on the Internet. How do you interpret Mat 6:13 "And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one (NKJV)"? From your teaching, it would seem that we should pray that GOD not turn us over to the buffeting of Satan, but yet... [read more]

  • Does His Sovereignty Include Our Sins?

  • 14 years ago
  • Dear Mike, When studying one of your articles, I came across this phrase: "We cannot so much a commit a sin if it was not first written in God's book before we were ever born." Could you throw more light on this please? Does this mean that those who sin could not help but sin because it was already ... [read more]

  • Controlling Evil Versus Being Evil

  • 14 years ago
  • Hello Mike, I am in a discussion with a young man about the Lord and the evil he thought about the nation of Israel. Exo 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: Exo 32:8 They have turned aside qu... [read more]

  • Can Christian Men Work With Female Bosses?

  • 14 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I pray daily for you to be faithful to God's Word as well as I ask God to help me be faithful, too. I have a question about the article I am reading for the second or third time. You state that the women should not usurp the authority of the man, or rather the scriptures state that the wive... [read more]

  • What Advantage Is It To Be A Believer?

  • 14 years ago
  • Mike, Very interesting! You said, "The person who sustains "the law of sin and death... in our members" is the person who is responsible and accountable for everything that happens in this earth." Are you saying that non- believers are not accountable, or only those of whom walk in the Spirit, and i... [read more]
