Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: ~~~1:13 Pastor Mike's thoughts on the book "Like Clay Under the Seal" by Pastor Dean Odle (who teaches that the Bible supports a "flat Earth" perspective)~~~ 1. 12:14 What does the Bible say about taking communion at home? Can we do it, and if so, how? What do we need to be aware of? 2. 14:43 In 1 Corinthians 15: 2, what does Paul mean when he says, "...unless you believed in vain"? 3. 17:48 Since you say that Ephesians 2: 8 does not teach that faith is the "gift of God", does it originate with us then? How does that square with 1 Corinthians 2: 14, since the "natural man" cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God? 4. 25:36 To what extent is Satan involved in the sins of mankind? Some believe that he has little to do with the current sins of man, but others believe he is at the heart of every temptation. 5. 28:47 In your opinion, who is the "he" referring to, in 2 Thessalonians 2: 7? Do you think this verse pertains to the rapture? 6. 32:48 What do you believe about "Mystery Babylon"? 7. 34:21 What are some practical things I can do to help further God's Kingdom through apologetics? 8. 37:13 What would you say to an atheist who agrees with Christian values but can't get around the idea of the existence of a "higher being"? 9. 39:20 What do I say to someone who says they can't believe that the Bible is the Word of God because it's "been tampered with" by many people? 10. 41:07 Can you please do a study on 1 John? 1 John makes it seem like we have to be perfect (literally), which seems works-based. 11. 45:16 What does 1 John 5: 16 mean? What are some responses to "future judgment" verses and verses about future temple sacrifice being used to get believers to observe the Torah? 12. 47:37 Question about divorce & an announcement about upcoming content 13. 48:43 Is baptism required for salvation? 14. 50:20 My current church is unsteady and I've found a new church that I love. How can I leave my current church in a loving manner without causing hurt? 15. 51:53 Sometimes I feel intimidated by the Catholic Church's claim of authority and the claim that non-Catholics are damned. Do you recommend any verses for me, and may I have your advice? 16. 55:04 How do I explain to a 17 year old that we have "free will" when God knows the outcome? If God knows what I'm going to do, did I really have the choice to do it? 17. 56:34 Is it a good analogy to think of the Trinity like the "body, soul, and spirit" that we have? 18. 57:56 What are we to make of the name Jehovah? My web site is https://Biblethinker.org My original flat earth video showing that the Bible does not teach the earth is flat. https://youtu.be/qePiXK_8Agc My long debate with my friend Dean Meadows on baptism and whether or not it saves https://youtu.be/x2TfBVNuuY8

0:00.0	We are live. Welcome guys. We're going to do Q&A today, but before we get into that I just have a few
0:08.8	ramblings that I want to get into. Actually I want to talk a little bit about this right here. This is a book that I received from Dean O'Dle, who is the guy who's video I critiqued in my recent response to flat earth teachings in the Bible.
0:26.4	My goal in that video was to show that the flat earth does not teach or the flat earth is not taught in the Bible.
0:31.6	The Bible when you actually take the verses in context
0:36.7	you'll see that the Bible simply doesn't teach that the earth is flat. I think I show that it's
0:42.1	actually impossible to use the proof text that I brought up in my video to say that the earth is flat because it uses the term ends of the earth and it talks about places like Babylon and they knew that this was just a distant place not a physical
0:54.9	end of the earth anyway so before we get to your guys questions you can start loading them now you
0:58.7	can put your questions in the live chat thank you for joining me I'm Mike Winger this is the
1:01.5	Tuesday live stream and you know all that stuff.
1:05.2	Subscribe and click and things and bells and likes and things like that. They all help this
1:11.6	ministry to continue to reach more people
1:13.6	but this book the reason why i have it is because d odle was kind enough and i do think
1:17.8	it's a kindness he was kind enough to send me a copy because as you can
1:21.6	imagine he's one of the like lead teachers at least amongst for a lot of
1:26.2	flat earthers others others would probably say they don't like him I like other guys but
1:30.0	Dean Nodle is one of the major guys and he saw my, and I don't know how many people sent it to him.
1:34.9	I know from my own experience that I get lots of people
1:39.3	that keep sending me the same videos over and over.
1:41.3	Now I'm not saying to stop because I do want to be
1:43.4	aware of video content I should maybe respond to but I would say I get how you can
1:48.6	be overloaded in those things. Anyway he sent me this video this this book in response and he wrote a little inscription on it and he said
1:55.2	among other things that he was he this book has a lot more detail in it and that the stuff the video I had quoted was from years ago
