The Truth About Mormonism: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 82)
Today's Time Stamps: 1. 0:03 {Mormonism: Uncovering The Truth} What’s the truth about Mormon doctrine? Is Mormonism incompatible with Christianity? 2. 29:36 {Repentance Before Forgiveness?} How does forgiveness work? Does repentance have to come before forgiveness? Luke 17:3-4 and other places seem to be clear that it does. If you can explain what that looks like I would appreciate it. 3. 41:06 {Are You Ashamed of Jesus?} In Luke 9:26, what is considered being “ashamed"? I would think every one of us have situations where we don't find the boldness to testify.4. 48:09 {Painful Loss but Powerful Witness} My son found Jesus and shared the news excitedly with me over the phone, then tragically died the next day. What would be an honoring, powerful, yet sensitive testimony to others?5. 49:23 {Proof of Calvinism?} Who is Jesus referring to in Mark 4:10-12 when He says, "…for those who are outside…"? Why would He not want them to understand and be forgiven? It almost sounds like Calvinism. Could it be the non-elect?6. 56:53 {Would Jesus have Died for 1 Soul?} I’ve heard it said, “If you were the only sinner, Jesus would still have come for you.” Is this true? I’ve never heard anyone back it up. I want to believe it, but fear His love is more corporate than individual.7. 1:02:50 {Family & Ministry Priorities} How do you balance ministry and family? How do you ensure you do not sacrifice your family and time with them on the altar of ministry?8. 1:07:27 {Mike’s Thoughts on Surrogacy} What is your take on surrogacy?9. 1:15:10 {“The Restrainer” – Meaning?} What does “the restrainer being removed” mean in 2 Thessalonians 2:7?10. 1:21:13 {Godly Influence in a Dark Area} A church in my hometown has now joined a “pride community” (it’s a Methodist church). What things can I do to show people they are teaching a false Jesus? I just don’t want people to be deceived.

An OFFICIAL investigation has been launched on Gary Morgan!
I have high hopes about this independent, third party investigation and we just need more witnesses to come forward. Gary’s ministry is not able to control what happens next. Let the light shine. Email daniel@netgrace.org if you have info on Gary Morgan, Peter McHugh, or others who participated in his fake prophecy, ministry misconduct, or other pastors who participated in the cover-up that lasted over 10 years. Here’s my full, nearly six hour video with a ton of evidence and testimony about the fake prophet Gary Morgan and how his sins were covered up by Peter McHugh (and others). Included in this video is a very long zoom call where we confronted Gary Morgan and his two helpers and caught them in lies: Click Here In my opinion, an investigation is not needed in light of so much evidence that I have already presented in my video. But, I know that this third party investigation can still move a lot of people who just won’t look at the evidence or are biased against me. This will make a difference.

I Went To A Mosque And Ate Lunch With An Imam: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 81)
Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:14 {Islamic Mosque Visit} Thinking biblically about my recent trip to an open house at a local mosque and my lunch afterward with the imam.2. 43:06 {“By What Authority?”} I have a very analytical brother (Catholic/lawyer). Any advice on how to move the needle when conversations always go to “by what authority?”3. 50:12 {Repentance, Forgiveness & Justice} If Shawn Bolz TRULY repents, dies, and never makes amends, can his victims ask God for justice in Heaven? If he is justified through Christ, are his victims not owed justice? Bolz is only 1 example.4. 57:32 {Isaiah 65 – Millennial Kingdom?} Is Isaiah 65:17-20 referencing the Millennial Kingdom span, because verse 17 makes it sound like it’s about the New Heaven/New Earth that follows, but Revelation 21:1-4 says there’s no death there?5. 1:04:37 {Painful Loss: Advice & Prayer} My wife and I lost our baby Rebecca to SIDS in April. We are now pregnant again. Do you have any advice, and can you pray for us?6. 1:08:53 {Is it Wrong to Ask for Mercy?} When I repent of habitual sins, I trust I'm forgiven but I’m afraid God might discipline me so I walk in fear. Is it wrong to ask Him not to (mercy) since I know I would deserve it if He did? Psalm 6:1-2 makes me think it's ok to ask, but I feel so wrong asking.7. 1:11:49 {What Is the “Law of Liberty”?} In James 1:25, how would you describe what the Law of Liberty is?8. 1:16:54 {Wisdom for Correcting Theology} Help! Learning to think biblically about everything has made me very annoying to my believing loved ones with bad theology! How can I lovingly correct them without being that "wELL aCkShUaLLy" guy?9. 1:21:09 {Genealogies – Why Different?} Can you explain the three 14 generations and how they don’t match other genealogies in the Bible? Why did Matthew combine some generations to make the number 14 work?10. 1:26:41 {Lottery – Always Sinful?} Mike, if Scripture permits casting lots (Proverbs 16:33; Leviticus 16:8, Joshua 18:10, Acts 1:26), is playing the lottery without greed sinful?

Does the Bible support me calling people names? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 80)
My video on Benny Hinn and why he should be called an evil man: Click Here My video on divorce and remarriage: Click Here Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:15 {Biblical Name Calling?} Does the Bible support calling people names? When is it biblical to do so, and what sinful pitfalls should we watch out for?2. 38:23 {Bethel Music: Avoid or Use?} Should churches avoid music linked to Bethel, including songs by others musicians but attributed to Brian Johnson, because its use may promote questionable doctrine or financially support the Bethel ministry?3. 43:53 {Pro-Life Legislation Concerns} Considering passages like Isaiah 10:1-2 and Leviticus 20:1-5, how can Christians support pro-life legislation which enshrines into law blanket protections for mothers who sacrifice their pre-born children?4. 54:55 {Sinner: AM or WAS?} Is it biblical for a Christian to say “I am a sinner”? Does 1 Timothy 1:15 justify using that verbiage, or is it more correct to always say “I was a sinner”?5. 1:00:03 {Prophetic Guesswork} Why do many modern prophecies seem to be guesswork (“I feel like the Lord is telling me such-and-such”)? That doesn’t appear to ever be the case in Scripture.6. 1:04:20 {Unruly Children: Disqualified?} Explain & define how debauchery in a man’s child or children disqualifies him as an elder. I’ve been told that how he disciplines after the fact makes him eligible for the position. But is that unbiblical because of Titus 1:6?7. 1:11:28 {Was Abraham Born Again?} Do you think Abraham was regenerated (born again)? Please see John 3:3, John 8:56, Romans 4:1-5, and Romans 22-24.8. 1:16:33 {Helping a JW Find Truth} What Classic Christian theological books would you direct me to as a Jehovah’s Witness, so I can get a good foundation of what the truth actually is?9. 1:18:26 {God, Satan & Job} In Job 1 and 2, do you think God brought up Job to Satan because He knew Satan was already watching Job?10. 1:23:16 {God, Israel & Adulterous Wives} Why does God portray Himself as a husband to an unfaithful Israel, a role mocked today as cuckoldry? Does this imply men should remain with adulterous wives to imitate God's love for Israel? https://BibleThinker.org Bring your own questions to the LIVE chat next time, by putting a "Q" at the beginning of the live chat comment.

Brother Joshua is like a cockroach
They never quit. They just keep going, which is why they must be exposed. For those interested, he is also changing his definition of "rapture" to better prepare for when it doesn't happen on his timeline. I don't care to explain all the detail here since he's already been shown to be a liar and Scripture-twisting false prophet here --- My website: https://BibleThinker.org

This is a REAL problem for Catholics: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 79)
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:29 {Matt Walsh vs. The Pope} Is Matt Walsh’s position on the death penalty consistent with the position of the Catholic Church? And why does the Catholic Church’s position on the topic seem to contradict itself over time?2. 28:45 {Why Didn’t Isaac “Reverse & Redo”?} Why couldn't Isaac give Esau the blessing and remove it from Jacob after discovering Jacob's deception? Why don't we do this sort of blessing today?3. 32:10 {Could Adam & Eve Eventually Have Eaten?} Do you think Adam and Eve could’ve eventually been permitted to eat from the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil?4. 38:44 {Pants: Sinful for Women?} There’s a group of Holiness Pentecostals that believe pants are sinful for women to wear. They use Deuteronomy 22:5. Is it a sin, and if not, why?5. 47:30 {Hosea & the Meaning of 3 Days} Hosea 6:1-2 says He will heal Israel’s wounds. On the third day He will raise Israel up/restore, and we live in His sight. Is this end times stuff? What’s your take on the meaning of 3 days?6. 53:14 {Baptism & Communion: Only In Church?} My parents’ church believes that baptism and communion can only be done in a local church setting because it’s the only example we have in the Bible after the New Testament church was founded. Thoughts?7. 1:04:36 {Most Important Lessons for Young Christians} Regarding teenagers and young adults (ages 13-18), what are the most crucial things to teach them once they make the decision to follow Christ? Do you recommend any tools to give them to guard against wolves/bad doctrine?8. 1:08:01 {Widowed or Divorced?} When Jesus told the Woman at the Well that she had 5 husbands, is it not a possibility that she may have been widowed 5 times? People always assume she was divorced 5 times.9. 1:15:59 {Love “Covers” sins?} What does Peter mean in 1 Peter 4:8 when he says love covers a multitude of sins? Specifically, what does “cover” mean compared to a sin being forgiven by Jesus?10. 1:22:07 {Judging Sincerity Before Forgiving} If a brother sins against me, can I use wisdom to judge whether his repentance is real, or should I give the benefit of the doubt? I want to forgive, but his words are passive and full of excuses. If you're dealing with the topic of women in the Bible PLEASE watch this video first.

I figured out why Bill Johnson endorses Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland
I'm back... I've known for a while that Bill just agrees with these lousy men in more ways than his own followers may realize, but I didn't quite have the ability to articulate it like I do in this video. Prosperity preaching is in fact part of the DNA of the prophetic movement as it is influenced by Bethel. It's not just that it's in their overt teachings for they are more about culture than doctrine, social engineering than theological explanations, and pragmatic practices over explained values. But it is there. Prophsperity.
