Hi Mike,
I am reading Strong Delusion again, and there is this issue on the unpardonable sin which I don't understand.
As I understand from it, the unpardonable sin is committed by babes in Christ. However carnal babes in Christ are not 'once enlightened'. Carnal babes are the called and not chosen.... [read more]

Mike,
I forget what verse it is, but doesn't Christ say man shall give an account of every idle word? What does this mean? is it literal? I know we give an account every day. J____
Hi J____,
You ask what is meant by 'giving an account of every idle word?'
The important thing to notice here is that t... [read more]

Hi Mike,
While reading "What is the fire in the lake of fire", something caught my eye.
Luk 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, o... [read more]

Mike,
What do you believe the purpose of Abraham's Egypt trip when he first got to Canaan was all about? Do you think it was to increase his faith or to show how GOD can bring blessings out of our trip to Egypt? It was obviously a scary trip for Abraham because he was so afraid that he commit...

Mike,
I was wondering what you thought about this holy laughter revival movement. Have you heard of Rodney Howard Browne? People in his church are seen laughing on the ground for more than half an hour!! Do you believe this is of the Spirit? J____
Hi J____,
Thanks for asking about 'holy laughter. I ... [read more]

Hi Mike,
I would just like to ask a question: Why is it that a God who claims to be omnibenevolent and ever- loving can be so manifestly unfair? I'm of mixed Northwest European (Scottish & Irish), African and Indian descent, and, quite frankly, I loathe my physical identity. I mean, I had no say... [read more]

Mike,
I am almost convinced that the events of the end will mimic the events of the beginning. As I continue reading and continue observing the signs of our times, I am almost certain that the Serpent of Old will come to Mankind and offer him "eternal life", "dominion over the earth", and all we hav...

Hi Mike,
Here I am one again. I thank you for your answers to my last questions. They certainly cast more light into my dim mind. I do not believe in the Trinity, but I am struggling to know exactly how to define what I believe. The article I have enclosed brings out the dilemma that I have. It goes... [read more]

Mike,
Do you understand why blasphemy against Christ can be forgiven in this age, but against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven in this age?

Hi J____,
Thanks for your question. It allows me to explain how "all things" things past, present and future in Christ, are all ours. Thi... [read more]

Mike,
Do you believe if someone breaks into our home we are to not defend ourselves and our loved ones? Some people would say, "we are not to trust in guns, but rather trust in God for safety. However, even when the Israelites were (right with God), they still used weapons for defense didn't they? S... [read more]

Mike,
Thanks for your response.
When I read this passage, I saw something in it that I had not seen before - obviously there's a clear reference to God's sovereignty but I also got a glimpse of his mercy. Here's what I mean:
Suppose a man says to God, 'I am guilty but will offend no more. Teach me ... [read more]

Mike,
Do you really see our early walk with God as 'many years of failure'? That time was a stage we had to go through as God planned. I see it as just a stepping stone to where we are today. There were many happy times in the churches, doing our thing for God, as we then saw it. Of course now we ... [read more]
