Answering Questions From Live Chat Today on Theology, Apologetics and the Christian Life
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 2:16 If Jesus is not the Father, why did He say He was in John 14: 9? 2. 7:06 Does God, at times, want a believer to be wealthy, pursue wealth, have a big house, or buy an expensive car? Would you trust someone whose prophecy is weighted toward wealth and success? 3. 11:40 There’s a video going around by Creation Liberty Evangelism, that the word ‘repent’ (metanoia) means “godly grief and sorrow”. Is there any merit to this teaching? 4. 16:55 Do you h

A Bunch Of Reasons The Empty Tomb Is Historical
There are several reasons to believe that the empty tomb accounts in the Bible are historically true, even if you aren't a Christian. And if they are historically true, then perhaps you should become a Christian. In this video I will outline several specific lines of argument that build a cumulative case for the historicity of the empty tomb and support the resurrection of Christ. Join for the live stream (after this live stream) where me, Whaddo You Meme??, and Capturing Christianity reveal o

The Gospels Are History Not Myth
Sometimes complicated issues can be made very simple. Here are some good reasons to think the Gospels are the preserved testimony of eye-witnesses from the 1st century. We will talk about the early second century writings of Papias, the introduction to the gospel of Luke, the riddle of names in the gospels and the issue of genre. All these elements are like arrows pointing to one big fact; the gospels contain the record of eye-witness testimony and attempts to treat them as though they are a hod

I've Been Looking Into The Hebrew Roots Movement and Here's What I've Found So Far
YouTube deleted this video but the audio is still available here on this web site and the video is available on the Mike Winger Facebook Page. facebook.com/MikeWingerBibleThinker Evaluating some of the teaching and rhetoric of a representative of the Hebrew Roots Movement, 119 Ministries.

Why Every Pro-Choice Argument Fails
When it comes to the topic of abortion there is usually a lot more heat than light. This video is meant to be an analysis of abortion for the sake of clarity. The central question of "what is this thing that we are aborting?" Once this is answered, the issue of abortion becomes crystal clear. The answer to this ONE question is also the answer to every pro-choice argument. It's simple. When we realize the nature of the thing being aborted we see that every pro-choice argument fails and this is w

Please Stop Saying Faith Is Belief Without Evidence
I am very happy to report that the Christian definition of faith is NOT belief without evidence! I'll establish this by looking at specific passages of scripture which refute this definition. The problem is that by saying "faith is belief without evidence" we are no longer talking about the way we hold to a belief. We are saying something about the evidence for the Christian faith. Specifically we are saying there is no evidence. I have a problem with this... and so should you. This ministry exi

The Book of Hebrews: How to find Jesus in the OT pt 17
This teaching survey's the book of Hebrews gathering data about typology (foreshadowing) of Christ in the Old Testament. It turns out that the book of Hebrews is chock full of examples of types.

Thinking Biblically About Tattoos
In answering the question of tattoos it's important to not only consider Leviticus 19:28 but also what Romans 14 teaches us about handling potentially contentious issues of conscience. On one side we have those who can not distinguish the difference between following their own conscience and requiring that everyone else does. On the other side we have some who recognize a liberty to get a tattoo while forgetting to partner this liberty with wisdom and love. Both of these errors causes division i
