Summary

A rare Tuesday stream! I'm Mike Winger and I think we've underestimated how amazing the Bible is. Every other Friday at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time we do these live Q&As. To ask a question during a future stream, just wait until after the stream has actually begun, type your question into the chat (on YouTube), and start it with a "Q" to help us identify it as a question. I may have already answered your question. You can check the "Clip Search" feature HERE on my website to see if I have.  Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:1. 1:12 {Different Wills among the Godhead?} In the Trinity, do the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all have three separate wills?2. 22:15 {Conflict in Israel – Eschatological Significance?} Is the war going on in Israel right now part of a biblical prophecy? 3. 30:28 {One Governor or 12?} In 1 Kings 4:7-19, there are twelve governors for Israel listed. I’m confused by verse 19b: “There was one governor...” What’s your take on this? 12 or 1?4. 36:22 {Do Some Sins Indicate a Lack of Salvation?} Verses like Matthew 6:14 make me feel like there are sins so bad that if you commit them (like unforgiveness), you’re 100% not a Christian. I feel like I have to maintain my own salvation.5. 41:04 {Would the Spirit Ever Leave Us?} Can you please explain what it meant in 1 Samuel when the Spirit left Saul?6. 44:16 {The Vatican & Revelation} Does Revelation 7:9 apply to Vatican City despite its size and hosting unbiblical stuff?7. 48:42 {Is Marital Intimacy Only for Procreation?} Can a biblical case be made for the purpose of sex within marriage being for procreation AND intimacy/pleasure and not just for procreation? Is sex without the possibility of procreation evil?8. 55:11 {Christians Made Whole “Again”?} How do you feel about songs that state, “You make me whole again”? It’s my understating that before faith in Christ we aren’t whole, saved, or forgiven. Thoughts?9. 58:38 {Teaching Convictions as Truth} How should we deal with a pastor who is unwilling to receive correction on anything against his own convictions? It wouldn’t be as big of an issue, but he preaches his ideas as truth (i.e., no alcohol).10. 1:03:57 {Counting our Trials as Joy} How are we to “count it all joy” when we face trials and temptations, as James chapter 1 says?11. 1:09:58 {Wisdom = “She”?} Can you help me understand why in Proverbs 2 the Bible refers to wisdom as “she”? How do we argue this with those who try to speak about multiple gods, or LGBTQ+ people saying He is neither gender?12. 1:13:45 {Refuting Modalism} What is the best way to dismantle Modalism in a loving way to someone?13. 1:17:05 {The Commander of the Lord’s Army} In Joshua 5:13, who is the commander of the Lord’s army? Is this another Christophany? And why do we read so little about him if he helped Joshua in his ventures?14. 1:20:53 {Are the Mentally Disabled Saved?} What happens to autistic people or mentally disabled people? Do they go to Heaven?15. 1:22:54 {Am I Saved if I Have An Addiction?} How do I know If I actually have a saving faith, especially considering that I’m addicted to pornography, and am having a hard time asking for someone to help me stop. Thanks.16. 1:29:46 {Congregational Votes – Sometimes Sinful?} Is it against the Bible to have your congregation vote on whether or not to have women as elders?17. 1:31:48 {Indwelling, Infilling & Assurance} Do you have the Holy Spirit if you haven't been baptized with Him? I don't feel/believe like I do. I can't hear His voice. 18. 1:34:51 {The Day of The Lord & His Second Coming} How do the ideas of "The Day of The Lord" in the Old Testament and Jesus' second coming in the New Testament intersect? I've been studying this, but I'd like some of your opinions.19. 1:36:51 {A Cure...

All right, y'all. Sorry if there's a delay there, but we are live and welcome to the Q&A.

0:09.8

It's not Friday. It's Tuesday. This is a rare Tuesday Q&A. I'm Mike Winger. I'm here to

0:14.2

try to help you learn how to think biblically about everything. This is a journey we're

0:18.2

all on together. It's just those of us who think one of two questions that you're asking

0:22.7

is is for the maybe the Christians in the audience. I want to understand what the Bible

0:27.3

says about these different tough questions I've got. They're being loaded into the live

0:31.1

chat right now. I'm taking 20 questions today. I got the first one ready and the rest

0:34.9

come from the live chat. You just want to know what the Bible says about things, not just

0:38.4

what a pastor says, not just what Mike thinks about it, but specifically what a scripture

0:41.9

actually say to illuminate us on these issues. Then the other audience, you're maybe not

0:47.8

a Christian, maybe you're not a believer or maybe you're on the fence or maybe you don't

0:52.5

know what to call yourself, but you still want to know you're curious. What if I actually

0:58.1

found a preacher, a pastor, a teacher, a person online, maybe who actually talked about

1:02.4

what the Bible says about something and wasn't just trying to do a salesman thing on

1:07.2

me with Christianity. That's my agenda here. You've come to the right place. The first

1:12.7

question today is from Kang, her, that's the name of the YouTube user who says in the

1:20.1

Trinity, do the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit all have three separate wills. Do

1:26.2

they have three separate wills? That's a very interesting question. I can partially answer

1:30.9

it because there are things I don't know about this issue, about the doctrine of the Trinity.

1:36.4

But before I give you some specific scripture that I think gives us a strong response to

1:40.6

this, a yes answer, a yes to a degree, but then it leaves some questions to be unanswered

1:48.8

at least for me to leave unanswered. I want to talk about some mistakes you can make
