Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:Intro - 0:001. 1:05 {Our Reign With Christ & Purpose of Authority in Eternity} What does it mean that we will reign with Christ in Heaven? What use will there be for any kind of authority in a sinless universe where our righteousness and wisdom are perfect?2. 9:54 {Study Resource Recommendations} Are there any non-Calvinist Systematic Theology books you recommend?3. 11:50 {Biblical Hair Length of Movie Characters?} In Lord of the Rings, would you consider the hair length too long for some characters, such as Aragorn or Legolas? How do I apply 1 Corinthians 11 when designing characters for my own projects?4. 16:35 {How Was the “Thief on the Cross” Saved?} How was the “good thief” in Luke 23:42 saved? He died without knowing Jesus' resurrection. Jesus tells him, “Today you will be with me in paradise,” but Christ doesn’t rise for 3 days. Confused!5. 22:35 {Should We Hate Evildoers?} How do you talk to someone who claims the Christian faith but hates people groups because they are “haters of God and denied Jesus”? My friend won’t talk to me because I don’t hate evil people enough.6. 26:24 {Meaning of the Leftover Miracle Food} What is the meaning of the 12 and 7 baskets left over from the feeding of the 5,000 and 4,000?7. 28:31 {Should I Leave My Job if I’m Kept from Church?} Due to work, I’m not able to go to church. should I look for another job so I can maintain fellowship, or should I just continue with the job I have now?8. 31:36 {Why is the NAR Unbiblical?} Please explain why the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is unbiblical.9. 38:32 {Is Heaven a Choice?} Does Revelation 22:17 mean that we have a choice to stay in Heaven (the last sentence specifically)? Would we be able to blink out of existence? Would this offend God?10. 41:05 {How Would Adam & Eve Know Disobedience was Wrong?} If Adam and Eve didn’t have knowledge of good and evil, how would they know it is wrong to disobey God and eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?11. 43:54 {Can We “Declare” things in Prayer?} What are your thoughts on “declarative prayer” or “positive confession” (e.g., “I declare revival for this city,” “I declare that this day is blessed,” etc.)?12. 46:59 {About Boycotting Businesses} Should Christians boycott businesses paying for abortion travel?13. 51:24 {How Deep in Theology to go while Evangelizing} How much of the doctrine of the Trinity do we need to explain while sharing the Gospel (especially when it comes to the hypostatic union)?14. 52:34 {Was Jesus’ Second Coming Prophesied?} Is it clear in Old Testament prophecies that Jesus will come not only once, but twice?15. 54:59 {Should We Settle On a Religion that “Feels Right”?} If a friend says they're looking for a religion that "feels right," how do I approach them if they’ve already left Christianity?16. 59:22 {Will We Remember Unbelievers in Eternity?} After a believer dies, will they remember their loved ones who were unbelievers? I understand "perfect peace," but that doesn’t answer the question.17. 1:04:29 {Why Do Two Peoples’ Prayers Yield Different Results?} Why do some people have a gift of healing that works when they pray for people, but I can’t do the same? If we are praying to the same God, why do two peoples’ prayers give different results?18. 1:07:50 {Choosing Biblical Homeschooling Resources} We homeschool, and one of the most popular "Christian" curricula happens to be from a Mormon.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I almost forgot. This is the face reveal video. Look, like you've

been thinking that this is what I look like the whole time. You guys have been wrong. I've

0:15.6

tricked you. I fooled you. Really? Really? Hold on, let me pull my earbuds out. I'm not prepared.

0:22.0

Okay, I look like this. I can never think of anything special to do for like my 500,000 or

0:31.5

100,000 or 300,000 subscribers stuff. I never do anything for them. And I just, I don't

0:36.5

know, I just, I was just being goofy. There was really nothing to it. We're going to take

0:40.0

the first question today. I'm Pastor Mike Winger. I'm here to try to help you to learn

0:43.3

to think publicly about everything. It doesn't mean I have all the answers. Really, as you,

0:47.9

if those of you who've watched my content know, it doesn't mean that I'm giving you all the

0:50.8

perfect answers, although I'm going to try to give you the best answers. I can't. It means

that you're on the journey that I'm on, which is to try to just get in the process of learning

0:58.2

to think about things through the lens of specific statements and teachings and scripture.

1:02.8

comes from Don Miguel, who says, what does it mean that we will reign with Christ in heaven?

1:13.7

What will, what use will there be for any kind of authority in a sinless universe where

1:18.4

our righteousness and wisdom are perfect? So there's like a couple different questions there.

1:23.4

I'm going to try to answer all of them here. So in Revelation 321, let's put this on your screen

1:29.0

here. Revelation 321, it does talk about this. Jesus says, the one who conquers, I will grant him

1:37.0

to sit with me on my throne as I also conquered and sat down with my father on his throne. So the

1:42.3

first thing we'll learn about this sort of future eternal raining or ruling royalty of the

1:48.1

universe is that we have it by virtue of our connection with Jesus. That's how I have this

1:53.6
