  • Jephthah and the Grafting In

  • 17 years ago
  • The story of Jephthah is preceded and set up by a description of the lot of Israel. Yet again, they have turned from serving God to serving the gods of the nations around them. God has already delivered them repeatedly from the oppression of their neighbors, and yet they have rejected Him again. Thi... [read more]

  • Was Christ Unhealthy Or Diseased?

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, In Luk 4 we read this verse: Luk 4:23 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country. These people apparently heard of all the miracles Jesus was doing. They were no... [read more]

  • Did God Really Forsake Christ?

  • 17 years ago
  • Mike, I watched a video by a fellow who believes that he has a different, clearer understanding of what Jesus was saying as he hung on the cross that is more in line with God's word. He claims it would more properly be translated showing that His Father had not 'forsaken' Him.  It seems he says tha... [read more]

  • With What Spirit Are We Born

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I have a question?  Reading "The tempting of mankind" I found this sentence: The dust spoken of in Genesis is "the spirit that dwelleth in us which lusteth to envy" (Jas 4:5). Can you please tell me where you found this translation, because when I read KJV or the Dutch most used transl... [read more]

  • Who Can Eat Of The Sin Offering?

  • 18 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I saw a video where Jews were swinging chickens over their heads and then killing them as a token of transferring their sins to the chicken. They sell the meat, and the money is used for charity. I would presume the meat is sold to entiles, since their sins are placed on the chicken symboli... [read more]

  • Is The Son Of Man A Worm?

  • 18 years ago
  • Hi Mike,   I want to thank you and praise God for all the wisdom that He shows us through you.  May He give you the strength to continue to feed His sheep. So simply stated, the principle Christ revealed to His disciples when He "opened their understanding that they might understand the s... [read more]

  • Did Christ Pre_Exist?

  • 18 years ago
  • Dear Mike Trying to use a format that is easier for us both to understand, and also answer all relevant questions, so I will leave question marks where I would like an answer, if that is OK. You can then answer in italics next to it if you like. Up to you. I will explain w/ my own understanding and... [read more]

  • Live While We Are Dying?

  • 18 years ago
  • Good Morning Mike, What a blessing I receive every time I visit iswasandwillbe.com. I was reading yesterday one of your responses to an email question, and you mentioned something about the "spiritual" vision God gives to us to see in His word the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. I am not ther... [read more]

  • Tribulation Versus Wrath

  • 18 years ago
  • Hi Mike, Is there a difference between tribulation and wrath?  It seems they are the same. Thanks, M____   Hi M____, Good to hear from you again. The answer is: certainly not every trial we endure is because of God's wrath against our ungodliness and unrighteousness and sins, but a... [read more]
