Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 0:00 {How Does God Reveal Himself Today?} Why did God reveal Himself to ignorant people 2,000 years ago? Why doesn’t God do it for everyone today? 2. 25:45 {More Than One Interpretation?} Can Scripture have more than one correct interpretation? I know Psalm 22 can, but Catholics believe this is so with Peter as the rock in Matthew 16:18 or Mary in Revelation 12. Is there a good method to test Scripture for this? 3. 36:00 {Multiplying Gifts &...

If you can understand the book of Hebrews, you'll understand most of the Bible. Hebrews is the key to the Old Testament and shows us how to see Jesus in all of the Scriptures.

This is just the beginning of a new verse-by-verse study through the book of Hebrews. I'll cover Christology, bibliology, soteriology, apologetics, cults, Hebrew Roots, and so much more. We'll go deep i...

This episode features Mike Winger answering ten listener questions on a wide range of theological topics, plus a bonus question. He addresses Abraham Piper's claim that the Bible doesn't exist, clarifies the relationship between faith and works in salvation, and delves into the nature of desire and sin. Other discussions include God's role in natural disasters, the interpretation of Hebrews 1 on prophecy, the implications of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit for Calvinism, and the different ways Christians receive the Holy Spirit. Winger also provides insight into Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman and the challenges of modalism, concluding with a speculative look at the language spoken in heaven, all aimed at helping listeners approach these subjects biblically.

Keep in mind that Benny Hinn recently told the world he didn't think he would need to do very much fundraising in the future. To me, this seems like a scam that uses Benny Hinn's supposed prophetic knowledge, coupled with unbiblical understandings of giving, as a way of manipulating his followers to give money to him.

You just won’t learn that much by reading the book. Try Doctrine and Covenants, the Book of Abraham, or this passage I read from today that is in Histories of the Church, Volume 6, 408-409.
