  • Is Depression Common To His Children

  • 16 years ago
  • Good morning, Mike, I'm not sure that this question bears any spiritual significance.  I don't know.  I wanted to see what your thoughts were on "clinical" depression.  I did a search today and see that I have all the symptoms for it and have had them since I was about 16.  A doctor even remarked...

  • The Church Versus The Body

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, I think this article I have pasted below raises many very good points. Did the Body of Christ Begin at Pentecost? Many Christians assume the Body of Christ began on the day of Pentecost. Without ever stopping to prove why (1 Th 5:21), they then move ahead to establish their doctrines co... [read more]

  • The Former And Latter Rains

  • 16 years ago
  • Good Morning Mike!!! I pray that God will bless your day and strengthen you. I just was reading Zec 3 and came upon the following verses and thought about Rev 1:13. Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt abo... [read more]

  • What is the Fire Of The Lake Of Fire?

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, Thanks for pointing out those scriptures and trying to comfort me.  It helps a bit, and I will try to work on my attitude, though I'm still naturally bewildered and angry at God sometimes for treating me so harshly.  It doesn't feel like love, though I know I need to adjust my attitu...

  • The Days Of Our Lives

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, While the actuary tables (I am a former financial planner by profession) for people in this country show a life expectancy of 70+ (74 for woman, 72 for men I believe), this has clearly NOT been the case in our nation's history (it has increased quite a bit) and is not the case in the underd...

  • The Time of Jacob's Trouble

  • 17 years ago
  • Hello Mike, I have another question, as I value your opinions because they are backed with scripture. I've recently heard a Babylonian minister talk about "the time of Jacob's trouble" in Jer 30:7 and refer it to the mythical "rapture" that the orthodox church believes in. I was wondering if you ha... [read more]

  • His Knowledge Of Who We Are?

  • 17 years ago
  • Mike, This is a very interesting email that you sent on the soul. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I find them very instructive and helpful. I don't understand how you come to the conclusion that the soul in scripture means, "God's knowledge of who we are." Everything in the rest of th... [read more]

  • Is It A Sin To Gamble?

  • 17 years ago
  • Dear Mike, Hope you are well. A small question for which I suspect I have an answer! A cell phone provider in our country is offering a fully functional and stocked farm as a lottery prize for those signing up with them and paying a small lottery fee. Should those after the mind of Jesus Christ indu... [read more]

  • A Sweet Smelling Savor Offering

  • 17 years ago
  • Thanks Mike, I think perhaps you would be much better suited to make certain determinations than I. You know all the verses, and you know very well the sacrifices and offering under the Levite priesthood system. You know Jesus was and is a priest of a different order- Heb 7:11 Now if it was possib... [read more]

  • What is the Soul?

  • 17 years ago
  • Hey, Mike, Do you believe God has a soul? Is there any scripture that denotes such a belief? Do you believe in the first Resurrection we will have a soul? Thanks for your time, J____ Hi J____, Thank you for your question. I used to think that the word 'soul' meant only a living physical creature whi... [read more]

  • The Message Of The Book Of Job

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I noticed this scripture while reviewing Elihu's comments to Job. It reads somewhat different in other translations, but if the NIV is correct in its expression, it seems to be supporting God's intention to judge all of his creatures with mercy and not according to their sins. This is the w... [read more]
