  • I Misrepresented Scripture: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 34)
    Oct 25 2024

    Today's Time Stamps:

    1. 0:04 {Confession Time} What did Mike get wrong about Genesis 2, relating to the topic of polygamy?
    2. 9:16 {All Things vs. All This Through Christ?} The NIV changed Philippians 4:13 from I can do "all things" to "all this" which makes more sense to me in context. Do you think "all things" has been misused historically? Will other translations follow?
    3. 14:52 and 19:57 {Unforgivable Sin in The Didache?} In the Didache, judging the spirits wrongly was included as the unforgivable sin. Could you explain why you think that is not the case?
    4. 17:17 {Apathy vs. Anxiety} I have a lot of guilt/shame about not suffering for Christ the way missionaries and the persecuted church do. How do I find the balance between lukewarmness and anxiety that I'm not doing enough?
    5. 27:27 {Can We Live More than 120 yrs?} How come people live more than 120 years when God said we wouldn’t in Genesis 6:3?
    6. 30:39 {Spiritual Power?} How can I argue biblically against the idea that we gain personal power/status in the spiritual realm by being full of the Spirit, and how does this relate to abiding in Christ & James 5-16?
    7. 37:51 {Advice for Depression & Spiritual Dryness} When I was a teen, I had depression leading to a suicide attempt. Through God I'm still here, married, and have a family. I read/study the Bible and pray, but I feel lost and far from God. Advice?
    8. 42:17 {The Doctrine of Impassability} Can you help me understand the doctrine of impassability a little bit better? It's confusing for me, and I'm not sure how to relate to the Lord and bring Him my pain, knowing this doctrine.
    9. 47:11 {Balancing Ministry & Family} As a young youth pastor, I am struggling to balance my desire to fully invest time and energy into ministry, with also being married with 2 young boys (2 and 1). Can you give some good principles here?
    10. 51:31 {If Trump Wins, Were the Prophets Right?} If Donald Trump gets elected this year, does that somehow validate any of the false prophets from 4 years ago who prophesied that he would have a second term?

Glad to have found Mike on Audible

I dislike YouTube when listening to long podcasts or teachings because it drains my phone battery and I'm not paying to have YT keep running when I turn my screen off. Tried the BibleThinker app, which crashes randomly. Audible is my reliable go-to for listening throughout the day, with zero ad interruption, and I'm so happy to have found Mike's work here.

Been binging BibleThinker on YT for about six months now, have only found a handful of things I disagreed with, but I never disagree with the godly manner in which Mike presents himself and his information. When I run into those tough gotcha questions that trolls like to throw down, I have started consulting Mike to see if he has a perspective on the matter, especially if I hadn't heard of some issue before. Thanks for pointing us to other great apologists and podcasts as well.

May our Lord continue to bless your ministry, now more than ever, in Jesus name.

Best Bible Teacher I’ve found

I started watching Pastor Mike on YouTube while studying the Bible. There are several others I also like, but Mike Winger is by far the best. His podcast and videos cover verse by verse sections of the Bible, and he has a weekly 20 questions where you can ask about specific issues or Scripture verses. He spends probably 75% of his free time studying and researching, from what I can tell. He knows more about the Catholic Church than any priest or Catholic I know.

Mike is also humble, doesn’t ask for money, and is very gracious when discussing other points of view. He’s easy to understand and likable. By far I’ve learned more from him than any other pastor or teacher. I highly recommend his content for anyone wanting to learn about scripture. He gets into the meat of content and is caring and knowledgeable, and he readily admits when he might be wrong or changes position from further research.
