This episode features Mike Winger answering diverse questions from his audience, beginning with a detailed explanation of Diwali's pagan roots and why Christians should approach it discerningly. He then delves into theological discussions, clarifying the nature of prophecy, reconciling biblical discrepancies, and distinguishing between types of faith. Practical advice is offered on confronting dismissive views of scripture, overcoming fear, and guiding family members in their faith journey. The episode concludes with a look at biblical perspectives on makeup and an outline of Winger's future ministry plans, emphasizing deeper engagement with government theology and Christian advocacy in public life.
I plan to continue engaging more in not only discussing these issues but in intentionally mobilizing believers to take action in the public square to preach the Gospel (above all), to change minds, rescue our countries, change laws, transform institutions, and become activists. Why? Because that's what it means to think biblically about loving your neighbor and seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Since today is the third rapture prediction we've had so far this year (from the same people each time) I thought we could look at some of the videos they have been posting that are spreading a harmful delusion.
Joshua Mhlakela went public again after his second failed rapture prediction. It's real bad. Today's Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro Bonus Update: 0:24 {Breaking News!} Covering a “Rapture Cult Update” from the recent false prophets. 1. 12:53 {Is Christianity a Cult?} In light of Mhlakela's serious error, how can Christians be assured that we aren't also blind members of a cult? Scholars are quick to explain t:hat "near" means quickly, unexpectedly, or suddenly. Then why don't they translate "tychikos"...
TODAY I want questions that represent skeptics, new believers, and doubters in general. I welcome the hard questions and will try to answer them well. The first question is to simply examine an X post from Zachary Levi where he says a bunch of stuff about the Bible that I thought would be of interest to skeptics, doubters, and new believers, as well. I'm not roasting the man, just walking through his thoughtful post and providing some insights. 0:00 - Intro 1. 1:38 {Responding to Zachary Levi} A...

Why is there a Rapture craze going on right now? I think it traces back to this mystery man, "Brother Joshua." He appeared out of nowhere about 3 months ago and said God took him to Heaven multiple times and Jesus told him the date of the Rapture. Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro 1. 0:59 {Rapture Craze?} Can you address “Brother Joshua” and the current rapture craze? 2. 36:29 {PSA + Crucified WITH Christ?} How does the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement harmonize with us being “crucifi...

Is this biblical? 4. 41:14 {Paul & The C...
10 years ago the Supreme Court decided they could redefine marriage, to include same-sex couplings. What they did was legally wrong, morally wrong, and irrational. Today it seems the tide is shifting. Good. But we need to know what was wrong with their actions and not just jump on the bandwagon of "that's not popular now." My website: https://BibleThinker.org

They are trying to put Mike Bickle back in ministry and using false prophecy to do it! This is bad. I know my words here are harsh. They need to be.

Delight in God's Word. This reading is from the NET Bible. Unlike most translations, the NET allows for people to use it as much as they want without worrying about getting special permissions for quoting long sections. This is why I'm using it here. The copyright warnings of most modern translations forbid me from making this kind of video without approval from the publisher. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Would they have aborted Jesus back in history, based on current cultural reasoning we hear? 2. 21:43 {Sins Against Us or Just God?} If someone commits a sin against you (abuse, etc.), are you also owed justice?

Today's Time Stamps: 1. 0:02 {Temptation Increasing vs. Satan Fleeing?} The Bible says when we resist the devil, he will flee (James 4:7). So why does it often feel like spiritual warfare INCREASES when we try to buckle down and resist sins of the flesh, addictions, etc.? When I resist, it doesn't feel like the devil flees - it feels like he tries even harder to get me to fall. Why is this? 2. 12:17 {What is Blasphemy?} What is the biblical understanding of blasphemy? A Catholic online was compl...

Why do New Testament authors often not address Jesus as God and appear to place Jesus outside of the Godhead (e.g. 2 John 1:3)? 3. 20:04 {Biblical Recipe for Anointing Oil?} The book of James tells us that if any are sick they should call for the elders and get anointed.

Micah Turnbo, as of 5/3/2025 is a pastor/seer/prophet at Vineyard Northwest in Ohio. He teaches many people through online ministry and has more visions and supernatural experiences than anyone in the Bible, it seems. I'll share evidence that he is a false prophet, deceiver, and shares obviously false experiences and even teaches some things that contradict the Bible. Why do this? Because we are commanded to test all things. When someone has millions of eyes and ears on their prophecies and visi...
