Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 Introduction and a bit about the American Gospel movie 1. 5:15 Did Old Testament saints believe in "faith + works" for salvation? 2. 11:34 How familiar are you with Steven Furtick and Elevation Church? Is it wrong of me to be wary of mainstream churches that seem to be too "seeker-friendly"? 3. 15:22 How do you respond to Richard Carrier's argument that Jesus was in outer space and the Apostles where schizophrenic or schizotypal? 4. 18:33 In Romans 5: 12-21, does our nature inherit the guilt of Adam's sin, or are we only guilty of our own sin? In Hebrews 2: 17 and 4: 15, did Christ's human nature inherit Adam's sin, or just desire sin like us? 5. 27:19 How do you interpret the Beatitudes at the beginning of Matthew 5? 6. 30:57 What are your thoughts on the 2 trees in the Garden of Eden representing both the law and the Gospel in Genesis 3 (The Tree of Knowledge representing the law, and the Tree of life representing Christ)? 7. 32:13 Does it say in the Old Testament that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire? 8. 34:06 How would you biblically define our fallen state, and how would this compare to the Calvinistic view of "Total Depravity" and "Total Inability"? What are the key passages to help us understand our fallen state? 9. 38:45 How can we know that we're saved, when the heart is deceitful, since it's not biblical to believe that speaking in tongues is the indication of whether or not someone is saved? 10. 41:30 How often do you fast, and do you allow yourself coffee while fasting? 11. 42:51 I know that it's better than anything in this present Earth, but what does it mean to be "least in the Kingdom of Heaven"? 12. 45:01 What's wrong with "The Shack"? 13. 46:43 The book of James tells us that God will never tempt us, but in the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us to ask the Father not to lead us into temptation. Why is this? 14. 51:24 Why didn't Jesus stone the adulteress, if it was written in the law to stone those found in that sin? Quick rules for the Q&A 1) Please wait to ask questions until the stream starts 2) Before you submit your question please reread it to make sure it's clear and that I will be able to figure out what you are asking. Thanks! 3) Do not ask your question multiple times because it confuses our mods when they are compiling the questions 4) I apologize ahead of time for those who ask important questions which I won't have time to answer. There's only one of me.

on a more regular basis just taking your guys questions where I don't have a topic I don't have anything except for

0:07.0

your questions from real people put into the live chat. I'm not entirely sure

0:15.2

everything you know on YouTube there aren't really rules on how I have to do these things. I just sort of have to make decisions based on what seems like it'll

0:19.2

minister to the most people and will be in line with the particular giftings and calling that I

0:23.9

think God has given me. So your feedback last week though was that you really want

0:29.2

more Q&A videos and we'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. So we're going to do this today and I hope that it's a blessing to you. I hope that you find answers to questions you had or maybe questions you didn't even expect to find. And as usual, we will put after the video is over a like a time stamp map in the video description

0:48.3

Now if you're watching a mobile you won't be able to do it through that video description at least not right now

0:52.4

Maybe YouTube will change things in a week, but you'll have be able to do it through that video description at least not right now maybe

0:52.7

YouTube will change things in a week but you'll have to go to the first comment the

0:56.1

pinned comment and there you'll find a list of questions as well as time stamps to

1:00.2

take you right to the things that you think that you need to know.

1:03.6

All right, so my name is Mike Winger and I am a pastor in Southern California who's made it

1:08.4

his goal to help people learn to think biblically about everything.

1:10.9

I like to teach and defend biblical truth so it's both of those

1:14.8

things. I'm not that much of a preacher in my honest opinion as far as preaching you

1:20.7

know stirring and motivating the crowds there There's some of that, but it's more about

1:26.5

getting godly and true convictions and then trying to live those things out. And one of the ways we do that is we try to

1:33.2

think biblically about things. We think thoroughly and thoughtfully and

1:35.8

carefully about them and try to come to a rounded biblical view. And so I'm not

1:40.4

interested in Pat answers. I'm interested more in as much as possible thorough thoughtful, careful answers that can withstand criticism.

1:48.0

So that being said, put your questions in the live chat and thanks for joining everybody.

1:52.0

Happy to have you here
