10 Questions with Mike Winger (Episode 1)
Переглядів 136,392
День томуSatan's Guide to the Bible is a popular video pretending to represent scholarship in general while only promoting selective skeptical talking points. I'll tackle that as the first question today. The rest come from you, in the comments section during the live stream.
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Intro
1. 0:18 {Satan’s Guide to The Bible?} There is a dangerous video gaining popularity, called "Satan's Guide to The Bible," that illustrates a pretend children's Sunday school class learning from Satan as their substitute teacher. He claims that pastors keep secrets from their congregants, but that he will reveal those secrets and tell them the truth. Can you please analyze this video and refute its false claims about the Bible?
2. 38:34 {Was Evolution Used by God?} Genesis 1: 24 sounds like God created animals through evolution (at God’s command) - “The Earth brings forth…” V. 11 also uses the same language. Interestingly, it’s not used with water, birds, animals & man. Thoughts on why this may be?
3. 42:56 {Israel - Male & Female?} What is the explanation for God referring to Israel as male (Hosea 14:5-6) and as female (Jeremiah 3:6)? Is it context related, or is there another explanation?
4. 45:42 {Bethlehem & The Messiah} Did people not know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (John 7: 41-43 NIV)? I feel like that would have cleared up some of their issues with Him being the Messiah!
5. 47:38 {Does Deuteronomy Prohibit Witnessing to Cults?} Does Deuteronomy 12: 30 prohibit current Christians from learning about other worldviews/religions/cults in order to evangelize them and utilize appropriate apologetics techniques?
6. 50:14 {Why Did God Appoint Unfaithful Leaders?} Why did God choose bad kings if He knows every heart? Saul, Solomon, Jeroboam, Hazael, and Jehu all turned away, but were directly chosen by Him. Why not choose kings He knew would stay faithful?
7. 55:00 {The Divine Council Theory} I heard you once say you didn't agree with Michael Heiser's views on the Divine Council. What part of it do you not agree with?
8. 59:25 {Speaking in Tongues} When did “speaking in tongues” change from being real human languages that the speaker didn’t naturally know to being a non-human/Spirit language?
9. 1:05:24 {Biblically, how is “Neighbor” Defined?} Is there a biblical definition for the term “neighbor”? I've always thought it was a term used to describe a non-believer who shows love to a Christian (or means them no harm).
10. 1:08:28 {Interpreting the Book of Acts} How do we interpret the book of Acts? Is it a reasonable interpretation that it’s merely a transitional period and that we have to be careful how much doctrine we take from it?

Mike has still never made a video addressing my question about why Jesus was arrested with a naked young man in a public park at 4 AM mark 14:51-52. He never addressed the secret gospel of Mark he didn’t address Morton Smith, nor the mar saba letter, or pseudo Clement. He just told me that I had a dirty mind for even asking the question very disappointing apologetics in my opinion.
@Sky-xd2nu 3 місяці тому
@@Ian_622 Hi, your first question caught my attention. Your framing of the question is already leading you astray. Jesus WASN'T "caught with a naked young man" He was arrested in the company of his disciples and many others. Don't start from vers 51 of Mark 14. Start from verse 1. Verse 43 shows Jesus returning from a secluded place with Peter, James, and John. Then joining the other group of disciples and the soldiers showing up. When the other disciples tries to stop the arrest, Jesus rebukes them and is arrested. Then everyone runs away. Here's your answer: In 51, one of the younger followers is wrapped only in a linen cloth - so not naked. When the soldiers grab him, he runs off naked leaving his cloth - like any scared person would.

Well, that Daniel didn't write the Book of Daniel, and Matthew didn't write the Gospel of Matthew, etc, etc, that is not something you understand from just reading it. Dating books requires knowledge of the history of a language, for example. And you have to read the original. But, yes, many things are there in the Bible if you just read it. But it's so massively boring that almost no one does that.

@fritzco55 3 місяці тому
I'm really glad you addressed this "popular" anti-Christ video. I believe the reason there are different "names" given to the devil is for the different natures/characteristics he brings to the table. This principal holds true for the Hebrew language where names are given to describe the nature/characteristics of that which is named. For example: "Jesus" = Salvation, redemption. Jacob means "supplanter"... we could go on. The full names/nature of the devil are on full display in the video: Serpent: Twists the truth Satan: Adversary or Accuser - makes false claims or partial true claims/accusations Lucifer: Brings knowledge, and the pride that follows (“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.” ~1 Corinthians 8:1. The subtly, the twisting, and the prideful accusations are keenly apparent to a trained believer, and it's great how this is pointed out as propaganda. Many blessings!

Mike- I just wanted to say thank you. I am a mom of 2 little kiddos under 3. I left a teaching career to stay home. I’m in a hard season and it’s THAT exact season God seems to have radically shifted and shaped my understanding of Him. You, Alisa Childers, Natasha Crain and Skip Heitzig’s book 30,000 has changed my life. It feels like scales have fallen off. Like I have never loved the Word of God, His commandments or Him more. There’s been this change of place- God is God. I am His. These words; Lordship, contentment, obedience. I have not stopped sharing so many of your (and those others) resources since I found them. It’s met me exactly where I was - in perfect timing and in only the way the Holy Spirit can. Thank you. I would love to help in any way I can if the need ever arises. EDIT: It literally started with this ministry. Anyone else I found after was a domino. It's like the gateway:)
@firedingo5 3 місяці тому
So glad for your first question Mike. I watch an athiest, ex-JW. He's been making the daniel dating claim recently. My instinct has been to push back and defend God's word. I'm grateful to understand more about the context around some of the particular issues. I'm naturally cynical and skeptical which is great for defending against scammers, less helpful for having a faith. So having more knowledge helps me to balance everything and not be so easily swayed by others. So thank you!

@rosemarygrabowski5834 3 місяці тому
I would love to have these live questions more often, so only doing 10 questions each time is fine with me. (I think it probably would be easier on you, too---yes?) If it could be every week, that would be awesome! But even a consistent every-other-week would be good, as well. Thank you so much for doing these live questions videos! My brother was a pastor, and I love being able to ask him things and get an in-depth answer from his study at DTS, but I don't get to see him very often. Your live videos feel like the same relaxed conversations, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who benefits. Thank you so much for your ministry and all the time you devote to helping and teaching others to "think biblically." This ability is soooo very important, especially in the culture surrounds us. God bless you, sir!

Man, your response has only made matters worse for those of us who are trying to reconcile faith with the truth behind bible scholarship. By focusing so much on the "bad" intention behind the author of the video (saying "propaganda" 200 times), and not acknowledging his critique that we lay people REALLY never learn this stuff, you're actually proving exactly the point of the video
@Knight-lj7fz 2 місяці тому
I've been through what you're going through, I don't believe in christianity and I still find myself saying "God forgive me" because I believed in Christianity so strongly that it became a part of me. I've rejected many ideas Christians have about the bible, but Jesus is still a fascinating character, so I'm thinking about approaching Christianity from a different angle. I'm saying this to you because you might end up rejecting Christianity, not realising that what you believed was someone else's interpretation of a text that might, on some level, actually be inspired by God. I think the first thing you'll come to realise is that the bible is not infallible.
@joshuagrebert1072 Місяць тому
Sorry I've also watched the video, and he does back up his arguments or advises other videos he made to address an argument. And I agree he doesn't debate the fact on whether lay people learn this stuff or not, I think the argument that Mike brings up is, this is a one sided discussion where passages are presented as fairly addressed but both sides of the discussion are not heard... speaking as someone who has preached Gods word a bit, if we use all the study notes we make and scholarly sources we use when preparing a message, the message would go for a full Sunday. These by nature are scholarly arguments rather than specific preaching points. Not sure if this is useful or not

the irony of using *SATAN* to get the children to question God was clearly lost on the creators of the video
@DaysOfNoah17_15 3 місяці тому
@evilpigeonsify, I haven't heard of that series until today and just the title alone says it all! We know that Satan is a liar and the Father of lies, so that's what a show like that is going to provide. They're doing everything they can to convince humanity that God is the evil one and satan is the hero on a path to salvation. I can't imagine what kinds of things will be produced after the rapture when the Holy Spirit is no longer restraining the wickedness. They're not even trying to hide their intentions anymore! God bless you and keep you always! 🙂

@dianamatthews5965 3 місяці тому
@@IndyB23 In Genesis chapter 3, verses 1-5, Satan (in the form of a serpent) tempts Eve by telling her God is hiding truth from her, but she can enlighten herself by eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. She eats it and so does Adam, and all kinds of calamity follow. The cartoonists don't disguise Satan at all, but they put a similar script in his mouth: "Hi, I'm Satan, and I'm here to tell you the truth" is an ironic message. Did they not realize that their deception could've been more effective with a different spokesman? HTH!

Heiser's biggest passage is the Micaiah passage; it literally shows God meeting with a divine council (a group of disembodied spirit beings) and He asks them for ideas on how to deal with Ahab. It is not as though God doesn't have any ideas, it is that God chooses to operate in this way that seems extraneous to us but is His will. He also argues that the are "angels" in the sense of being good disembodied spiritual beings. The difference is that the specific term "malak/angelos" is not an ontological classification, it is a job description: the words mean "messenger."

There are other “bible” based Christian teachers out there that I also have watched but they are committed to a more high def and highly edited, and highly polished video that is released. And I really really appreciate the rawness, the sincerity, the in the moment of your videos. For me, it correlates to living life as a Christian, Where often we are thrown darts and curve balls that take time to process, and have glitches, need a sec to process before responding ….

For someone who said they did not watch video, Mike Winger has a lot of opinions about it. For first, video that modern biblical scholarship started with religious Christians. The video is not claiming for Dr. Ehrman. However, they also interview Dr. Dale Allison who is a practicing Presbyterian and Dr. John J. Collins who is a practicing Roman Catholic. Mike would have known that if he watched the video. Regarding Daniel, I cannot believe Mike Winger says Daniel was written early with a straight face. Every scholar I have read from Joel Baden to John J. Collins, to Amy-Jill Levine and Dr. Mark Zvi Brettler. All say Daniel was written in its final form around 164BCE. First, the court tales may have been earlier and the visions later. The reasons why we think it is early is for several reasons some are linguistic. The Hebrew is late but try’s to sound early. There is Aramaic and Greek loan words pointing to a later date. Lastly, the history of Babylonian kings are wrong. Daniel did not write Daniel in the 6th century BCE.
