  • Resurrection(s)

  • 16 years ago
  • Hello again Mike, I have noticed some of your correspondents enjoy sending you their thoughts, reflections and meditations to which you so graciously respond. What do you think of this?: All in all is a statement of fact not limitation. None of God's Words are statements of limitation or literal phy... [read more]

  • Unbelievers Lives And The Lake Of Fire

  • 16 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I was wondering is the purpose of this life only for those that overcome (the judgment that begins with the house of God)... or are the things that the world goes through going to have a purpose for them at some point, too? It just seems to me that both the people that appear to maybe be ch... [read more]

  • Gathered Unto His People

  • 16 years ago
  • Hi Mike, I would appreciate hearing your comments on the spiritual meaning of the phrase 'was gathered to his people' (see scriptures below). I understand these old testament scriptures were written for our admonition and they minister unto us and they like all words of scripture are primarily spiri... [read more]

  • Are Unbelievers Already Justified?

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, Thanks for your prayers. I now know what Paul meant when he said if any man draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Anyway, a person tells me that unbelievers are now presently justified before God. How would this fit in with Rom 8:1 which says that there is no condemnation to those... [read more]

  • Over Whom Will The 144_000 Reign

  • 16 years ago
  • Mike, I have just read your most recent study article on the "great multitude which no one can number". I have never heard anyone equate the "great crowd" (JW- speak) to the seed of the bondwoman. I am in shock that I (and several million Jehovah's Witnesses) could see these people as those who surv...

  • What Exactly Is a Soul?

  • 16 years ago
  • Hi Mike, How are you doing? A friend was asking me about the scripture that says 'What will you give in exchange for your soul that you may gain the whole world and still lose your soul. I told him the difference is the loss of reward of the ruling and reigning with Christ as opposed to being ruled ... [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 following bible study was given at Marshall, MI on April 22, 2006 by Mike Vinson - amended January 16, 2019 for clarity] Luk 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?   Of course the Truth is God's elect "are not hurt of the second death".

  • Responses To Strong Delusion Part 2

  • 17 years ago
  • The Wilderness and The Lake of Fire Mike, Just a quick question from a 'carnal Christian': While reading your paper on STRONG DELUSION, you stated that "... even the apostle Paul went into Arabia and spent time unlearning his own destructive ways." The thought occurred to me that this might be kind... [read more]

  • The Lake Of Fire Part 2

  • 17 years ago
  • Hey, Mike, If the unjust receive and confess Christ in the day of Judgment then why are they cast, thrown, and thrust into the Lake of Fire? I do believe that Christ is this refining fire (Mal 3:2). Thanks, J____ Hi J____, Thank you for your question, As you say, God is the lake of fire only inasmuc... [read more]

  • When Is Physical Israel Saved?

  • 17 years ago
  • Hi Mike, 1) When does Eze 16:55 happen? Are they the great army of Eze 37:10 that Satan gathers in Rev 20:8 or are Sodom and Samaria raised just for judgement? 2) Who are the heathen of Eze 37:28? 3) Does Andrew Jukes believe in a Gap theory? It appears he feels Exo 20:11 starts at Gen 1:3 and not 1... [read more]
