  • Mike, Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Could you please comment on this? Thanks, S____ Hi S____, Thank you for your question. You say, as I once quoted Paul myself: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This is actually a very common mista... [read more]
  • Thanks, Mike.  "I can do all things through Christ" are my favorite words in the Scriptures - in the world.  Thank you for your prayers.  On a side note:  I am an artist (theatre, film, music).  Though I am prepared for the fact that I will probably not make a livi... [read more]
  • Mike, I just can't find where I read it on your site...maybe you can direct me to it. It seems you were talking about "seeming contradictions." The one I'm looking for is the explanation of 1 John, I think..."He that saith I have no sin, knoweth not God... and the verse... something about 'he that ... [read more]

She had come to visit us, so we were carrying her back home. From the start I began asking her questions ab... [read more]
  • Hello Mike. I am a Christian who loves your site. But I have a problem. In spite of all the revelations and all, I have a problem and I need your prayers and advice.

I am struggling with this totally new understanding that I am slowly acquiring. The understanding of deeply symbolical termi... [read more]
  • I will go line by line through this letter and give God's Word and contrast God's Word with the carnal minded reasoning of your friend. Your friend, as I myself once did, and all carnal minds do, fails to see the difference between the ability to choose based upon the causes he himself admits to in ... [read more]
  • Mike, I noticed on your article Law of moses vs. the law of the spirit that you have a major error. On the summary section there is a quote from Heb 5:6. I think you're referring to Heb 5:7. You quote it as saying "save him through (NOT FROM) death...." However, every translation I have looked at ha... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing. I can't tell you how much it means to me. I have been reading a lot of writings from different people who are all believers of God being the Saviour of all men. In particular I find that J Preston Eby appears to have some keen insight. However, I would like your... [read more]
  • Hello Mr. Vinson, I greatly appreciate your work. Do you have anything condensed, that deals with Adam being a sinner before the fall. How can it be proved that he was a sinner before he ate of the tree? I mentioned this at a group that I go to, and it caused quite a stir. Where did the teaching of... [read more]
  • What is the sin unto death that we shouldn't pray about? Thanks D____ Hi D____, Thank you for your question. The verse you refer to is: 1Jn 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin ...
