| Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: | |
| 0:00 - Introduction | |
| 1. 0:17 {Can Megachurches be Effective?} From a biblical and | |
| practical standpoint, is there a maximum number of people that | |
| can or should make up a local church? Assuming their doctrine is | |
| biblical, can a megachurch with multiple satellite sites or | |
| campuses be an effective church? | |
| 2. 13:52 {Was Mary Surprised about Jesus� Deity?} If Mary was | |
| aware of the immaculate conception (visited by an angel, etc.), | |
| why in Mark 3: 21 does it seem she�s surprised about Jesus being | |
| the Messiah? Scripture says His "family" that goes to "take | |
| charge of Him" for being out of His mind are His mother & | |
| brothers. Why would Mary think He is out of His mind if she had | |
| been visited by an angel? | |
| 3. 19:40 {About the Apostles� Martyrdom} A big defense for | |
| Christianity is that the Apostles died & were tortured, never | |
| recanting Jesus. How are the Heavens Gate & Jonestown 1978 | |
| incidents any different? They all willingly died for a lie, too. | |
| 4. 24:33 {Who are the Called & Chosen in Matt.?} Who are the | |
| called & chosen ones in Matthew 22: 14? Is it God who does both | |
| the calling & the choosing? | |
| 5. 30:32 {Does Jesus Mean �Hail Zeus�?} What do you say to | |
| people who claim that the name Jesus really means �hail Zeus�? | |
| They say one is unknowingly doing witchcraft by using the name | |
| Jesus. Why didn�t His name just continue as Yeshua? | |
| 6. 35:17 {Is John 15 Works-Based?} Is John 15 works-based? v.10 | |
| says, �IF you keep my commandments, THEN you will abide in my | |
| love.� That sounds like obedience earns God's love, contrary to | |
| the Gospel. What does a life of "abiding" look like daily? | |
| 7. 42:25 {Ways to Grow in Christ} I've recently found a renewed | |
| desire to get closer with God and was just wondering if you have | |
| any advice about how to do so. | |
| 8. 44:05 {Did God Ordain Animal Sacrifices?} Does Jeremiah 7: 22 | |
| & Matthew 9: 13 indicate God never ordained animal sacrifices? | |
| To me it seems God has gradually moved mankind away from | |
| sacrifices & idol worship and into His ideal form of religion. | |
| 9. 54:05 {About Angels} I know that we are made in the image and | |
| likeness of God and are called God�s children, but what are | |
| angels to God? Are they made in the image and likeness of God? | |
| Are they God�s children? | |
| 10. 57:22 {Is there a Contradiction?} In Matthew 2: 19-22, was | |
| Joseph�s second dream (vs. 22) from God? God says all who mean | |
| to kill you are dead, but God warns him again. Some translations | |
| of vs. 22 leave out �God.� Is this a contradiction? | |
| 11. 1:00:40 {How Many People are in Heaven?} It's estimated that | |
| 60% of natural conceptions fail to implant in the uterus and | |
| that at least 50 billion people lived until now. Does that mean | |
| there are around 75 billion people in Heaven? | |
| 12. 1:05:32 {How to Recognize the Spirit vs. Enemy} How do we | |
| know when we feel the Holy Spirit that it isn't a trick from | |
| Satan making us think that it�s God? And how do you know Jesus�s | |
| resurrection wasn�t a false miracle/wonder by Satan? | |
| 13. 1:09:26 {How to Glorify God as an Artist} I like to draw and | |
| write fiction in my spare time, and I want to glorify God as | |
| best I can doing this. Is there anything I should do or avoid | |
| doing as a Christian artist? | |
| 14. 1:11:19 {Does Forgiveness Challenge Responsibility?} My | |
| grandma rejects Christianity because she claims relying on the | |
| forgiveness of a savior teaches us that we don�t have to be | |
| responsible for our own actions. How can I help her untangle | |
| that belief? | |
| 15. 1:14:35 {About the �Day of the Lord�} What must come first, | |
| per 2 Thessalonians 2:3? Does �apostasia� mean a spiritual | |
| falling away/rebellion, or a physical departure, as in the | |
| rapture? | |
| 16. 1:19:03 {What does �Cowardly� Mean in Revelation?} Can you | |
| shed some light on what Revelation 21:8 really means by the | |
| cowardly or the fearful having a special place in the lake of | |
| fire? | |
| 17. 1:21:31 {About Liberal & Conservative Christians} It seems | |
| like conservative Christians are biblical with respect to | |
| personal morality, to the exclusion of societal justice - and | |
| liberal ones vice versa. Why? Is one more important? How do we | |
| reconcile the extremes? | |
| 18. 1:26:36 {Forming a Biblical Self-Image} How do I overcome | |
| self hate? Whenever I look at myself, I see a sinner and a | |
| failure and it's hard to see God as a loving Father when all I | |
| can see Him as is a judge, and I'm afraid of Him at times. | |
| 19. 1:30:46 {About the Marks of Stigmata} What do you think | |
| about the marks of the stigmata? Is there any way this could be | |
| biblical, even if someone isn't Catholic? | |
| 20. 1:33:43 {About God Revealing Himself to Mankind} If God | |
| wants you to be saved more than you do, why doesn�t He reveal | |
| Himself to everyone like He did to Paul? Wouldn't more people be | |
| saved if they had the same �Road to Damascus� experience that | |
| Paul had? | |
| Here's my website with a new clip search feature for finding | |
| exactly where in a video a particular issue is addressed. | |
| https://BibleThinker.org | |
| Agelbert COMMENT: In regard to the person having self hate | |
| issues in question 18: | |
| Self hate can often be the result of worldly grief. Godly grief | |
| is indispensable for victory against sin, as the Scripture makes | |
| clear (see below). | |
| II Corinthians 7:9-10 (English Standard Version) | |
| As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because | |
| you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so | |
| that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a | |
| repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas | |
| worldly grief produces death. | |

| Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: | |
| 0:00 - Introduction | |
| 1. 0:48 {Does Scripture Promote Evil Things?} I�ve been | |
| challenged with the accusation that the Bible �promotes killing, | |
| [img | |
| width=30] | |
| https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/5… | |
| />and slavery,� quoting Numbers 31: 15-18. I don�t want to simpl | |
| y | |
| prove them wrong; that doesn�t address this person�s heart. | |
| Would you please help? | |
| 2. 18:36 {About the Death Penalty} As a follow up to your | |
| teaching on the death penalty, this question is from my skeptic | |
| brother: "Isn't it better to rehabilitate offenders in hopes | |
| that they may come to repentance and give their lives to God?" | |
| 3. 22:32 {About the Apostles & Judas� Position} I�ve heard it | |
| taught that the Apostles were being presumptuous when filling | |
| Judas� empty position. Why did they choose to apply Psalm 69: 25 | |
| and Psalm 109:8 to the situation? | |
| 4. 30:38 {Can we See God�s Face & Still Live?} Exodus 33: 20 | |
| says "no one can see my face and live.� How do we reconcile this | |
| with Exodus 33: 11 which says, "the Lord would speak to Moses | |
| face to face, as to a friend"? | |
| 5. 36:02 {About the 70th Week & Seven Seals} Is there any | |
| biblical evidence that the beginning of Daniel's 70th week and | |
| Jesus opening the first of the seven seals in Revelation will | |
| occur roughly at the same time? | |
| 6. 37:44 {Why Didn�t God Rewrite Difficult Passages?} Can you | |
| explain the Holy Spirit Inspiration Doctrine? I struggle with | |
| understanding why God did not rewrite controversial Bible | |
| passages. I know I am only a man, and I seek to understand. | |
| 7. 41:35 {Advice for an Unequally Yoked Marriage} My wife is an | |
| unbeliever. The more I attend church, the more strain it puts on | |
| our marriage. Is it right to continue going to church, or should | |
| I stop? (1 Corinthians 7: 14) I pray for her every day. | |
| 8. 44:40 {About the Book of Numbers} What is the best way to | |
| read the book of Numbers? What�s some really cool stuff about it | |
| and how it ties to JESUS? | |
| 9. 47:36 {Is �Deliverance� / Demon Casting Biblical?} I'm | |
| wondering about your thoughts on deliverance. Would you consider | |
| calling and identifying demons biblical, or is it not? | |
| 10. 50:43 {Reconciling 2 Important Verses/Worldly Christians?} | |
| Can you explain Matthew 7: 21 vs. Romans 10: 13? Also, how do | |
| you spot worldly Christians (1 Corinthians 3:1) from those who | |
| are unsaved but have good works (Matthew 7: 22-23)? Shouldn't we | |
| have grace for sanctification? | |
| [move]James Chapter 1:14-18 📢 What good is it, my | |
| brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? | |
| Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly | |
| clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, | |
| �Go in peace, be warmed and filled,� without giving them the | |
| things needed for the body, what good is that? [b]So also faith | |
| by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will | |
| say, �You have faith and I have works.� Show me your faith apart | |
| from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. | |
| 👉 James Chapter 1:14-18 ESV[/move] | |
| 11. 55:15 {Advice for Christian College Students} What advice do | |
| you have for Christians in college? | |
| 12. 59:12 {Is there Hope After Death for the Unsaved?} | |
| http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-111… | |
| />Can the Gospel be preached to the dead? According to 1 Peter | |
| 4:6, is there any hope for people after they die? Also, in 1 | |
| Peter 3:19-20, what does �preached unto the spirits in prison� | |
| mean? | |
| 13. 1:03:43 {About Assurance of Salvation} How can I be sure | |
| that I am going to Heaven when I die? | |
| 14. 1:06:35 {How is Satan the World�s Ruler?} Can you explain | |
| how Satan became the ruler of this world? | |
| 15. 1:09:48 {About Salvation by Grace vs. Our Efforts} If we | |
| don't have to do works to get saved, why does Jesus tell us to | |
| "make every effort to enter through the narrow door" in Luke 13: | |
| 24? | |
| 16. 1:13:07 {Help for Anxiety over Unsaved Loved Ones} How do I | |
| combat anxiety about my newborn daughter�s salvation? It�s a | |
| difficult topic for me due to my younger brother walking away | |
| from the faith as a teenager. | |
| 17. 1:16:10 {About God�s Omnipotence & Non-Contradiction} Since | |
| God can�t contradict Himself, does that mean that His power is | |
| limited in a way? I know God is all powerful, but what is the | |
| logical reason behind Him being powerful and non-contradictory? | |
| 18. 1:20:06 {About Vaccines & Aborted Fetal Tissue} What are | |
| your thought on vaccines using aborted fetal cell lines for | |
| development? I�m about to lose my job at big MN clinic if I | |
| don�t get the vaccine and struggle with this issue. | |
| 19. 1:26:26 {About being Satisfied in God} How can you know that | |
| you are satisfied in God? How does it manifest practically? Does | |
| doing Christian things mean I'm satisfied in God? Can�t I do | |
| Christian stuff and still not be satisfied in Him? | |
| 20. 1:28:59 {Is Pledging Allegiance Idolatry?} Is pledging | |
| allegiance to a country or flag a form of idolatry? | |
| To ask a question for the stream just be there as the stream | |
| begins, wait until after it starts and post your question with a | |
| "Q" in front of it. You can also put "ANQ" to ask anonymously. | |

| Mike Winger 🕊️ 340K subscribers | |
| In my opinion, people are often one-sided when dealing with the | |
| topic of Halloween (or holidays in general). I hope to add | |
| something worthwhile to the conversation as I bring up 7 | |
| different issues to consider related to Halloween. | |
| [quote]Tony Cruz 🕊️ 3 months ago 👍 | |
| Mike, I appreciate your careful thinking on this subject. I | |
| myself wasted 8 years of my life in occultism where this was a | |
| sacred day so I personally don't celebrate it for this reason. | |
| But here is my thought, the cute princess and the cool cowboy | |
| will most often turn into the sexy nurse and the zombie cowboy. | |
| And I'm not even gonna touch the fact of the outreach from | |
| occultism.[/quote] | |
| [quote]Eden Elston 🕊️ 2 weeks ago 👍 | |
| The fact that 1) candy is available year round, and 2) kids can | |
| play dress up year round, 3) parents can give their kids candy | |
| and costumes year round, why would a parent choose to engage in | |
| celebration/observance of a holiday (holy day) of the occult? I | |
| can't see a logical reason for a Christian to continue the | |
| observance at all. It's like yoga practice. I completed a yoga | |
| teacher training. Surface level, it is physical exercise. But | |
| when you understand the why and how of the physical practice, | |
| you cannot separate it from its heretical spiritual aspects. The | |
| poses have purpose, they prostrate oneself to false gods and | |
| demons. The thing is, we are Spirit beings in a physical body- | |
| what the body does the Spirit follows. And this is why Halloween | |
| is a danger. Because it provides an opportunity for greater | |
| satanic/demonic influence. God refused to be worshipped as | |
| pagans worshipped their gods. Appropriating every pagan practice | |
| to Christianity because it's fun and not "inherently wrong" | |
| doesn't mean God is pleased with it[/quote]. | |

| Catholic Apologists Abuse Scripture to Teach Mariology: How to f | |

| I'll demonstrate how NOT to do typology by using examples of | |
| Catholic apologists twisting the Bible out of shape to squeeze | |
| the dogmas about Mary into the scripture. | |
| The types of Mary are supposedly the New Eve, the Ark of the New | |
| Covenant and the Queen Mother. But when we examine them we see | |
| that they not only aren't types, they don't give the dogmas that | |
| Catholic apologists pretend they do. | |
| From the "New Eve" they want to say that Mary was immaculately | |
| conceived (that she was born without sin and never sinned | |
| through her life). From the "Ark of the New Covenant" they want | |
| to say she was perpetually a virgin (even after Jesus' birth) | |
| and that she was taken bodily up into heaven at the end of her | |
| life. From the "Queen Mother" they want to say she is exalted to | |
| the right hand of Jesus and can intercede for us today. | |
| Agelbert NOTE: I had an interesting exchange with a Catholic | |
| determined to defend his worship of Mary, who is, according to | |
| Catholic Dogma, the "Queen Mother of Heaven". | |
| Anthony Gelbert 2 days ago | |
| Worshipping an alleged "Queen of Heaven" is idolatry that was | |
| condemned by the Prophet Jeremiah in the Old Testament. | |
| Catholics, rather conveniently, do not wish to equate their | |
| usage of �queen of heaven� with the book of Jeremiah. However, | |
| one cannot miss the fact that the phrase "queen of heaven" in | |
| Jeremiah is a CLEAR reference to idolatry. | |
| Jeremiah 7:18 English Standard Version | |
| The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women | |
| knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. And they | |
| pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. | |
| See also Jeremiah 44:17�19 and Jeremiah 44:25. | |
| The Catholic Dogma advocating the worship of, and prayer to, | |
| Mary, is Heresy. My Christian wife told her (Catholic) mother, | |
| "The Catholic Church is trying to morph the Holy Trinity into | |
| the "Holy Quartet.". That is Blasphemy! | |
| mike teixeira > Anthony Gelbert 2 days ago | |
| As a Catholic, I adore the Mother of my Savior; Her ' YES | |
| ' to God's Will gave us a shot at eternal life with | |
| God.......no apologies !!! | |
| Anthony Gelbert >mike teixeira 2 days ago | |
| Your ' NO ' to Holy Scripture that was written by Jeremiah the | |
| Prophet is not something Mary would have done. Mary certainly is | |
| Blessed among women, but she was NOT "born without original | |
| sin". In so many words, Mary herself admitted that (see Luke | |
| 1:46-55 below). | |
| And Mary said, �My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit | |
| rejoices in 👉God my Savior,👈 | |
| 👉for he👈has looked on the | |
| 👉humble estate of his servant.👈 | |
| 👉For behold, from now on all generations will call me | |
| blessed; for | |
| 👉he who is mighty 👈 | |
| 👉has done great things for me, and | |
| 👉holy is his name👈. And his mercy is for those | |
| who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown | |
| strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the | |
| thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from | |
| their thrones and | |
| 👉exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the | |
| hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He | |
| has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as | |
| 👉he spoke to | |
| 👉our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.� | |
| Luke 1:46-55 ESV | |
| Adam and Eve, though never conceived, were created, I am sure | |
| you agree, without original sin. Consequently, Adam an Eve did | |
| not need a Savior before their Fall. Mary rejoiced in God her | |
| 🕊Savior. Everyone with original sin requires a | |
| 🕊Savior. | |
| Furthermore, according to Mary herself, her 🕊Savior | |
| spoke to "our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever." | |
| Jeremiah the Prophet was one of those Saints that He spoke to. | |
| Jeremiah said 'YES' to ☝🏻 his calling✨, as | |
| did ☝🏻Mary ✨. Mary would never have | |
| rejected what Jeremiah wrote. Yet sadly, you do. What makes you | |
| think Mary would not find the very idea of her being proclaimed | |
| the "Queen of Heaven" by you a Blasphemy? The Holy One is God, | |
| as Mary said. Mary did not die for our sins, our Savior Jesus | |
| Christ did. | |
| Mary, like all the Saints, is to be venerated, but we pray to | |
| God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Why would anybody | |
| think we need to pray to anyone but God Himself? | |
| Jesus Christ is our intercessor. There is no other. Mary never | |
| claimed to be anything but an obedient servant of humble estate. | |
| Why don't you trust the words of Mary herself? Her allegiance | |
| was to her Savior, as ours must be too, in order to obtain | |
| eternal life with God. 🕯️ | |
| mike teixeira > Anthony Gelbert 1 day ago | |
| @Anthony Gelbert ...............There are two ways to be saved | |
| as is written in the Lord's Prayer..........see Matt. 6: | |
| 13..........before temptation or delivered from evil. | |
| Mary is Queen of heaven because Her Son is the King of Kings | |
| after the Davidic reign........see Luke 1: 32. In the | |
| Davidic reign, it is the mother of the king that has open | |
| access to the throne to intercede for the people. Compare | |
| Bathsheba, both as wife then as mother of the king in 1 Kings | |
| 1: 16 with 1 Kings 2: 19. | |
| Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 19 hours ago | |
| @mike teixeira Solomon told Bathsheba, "NO WAY!" to her | |
| request. His polite initial greeting was the part where you seem | |
| to have stopped reading. If you had continued reading, you would | |
| learn that Solomon's brother was attempting to use Queen Mother | |
| Bathsheba to steal Solomon's kingdom. Solomon saw right through | |
| that and had his brother killed after telling Bathsheba that she | |
| was WAY out of line in making that request. "Access" and | |
| "intercessory power" by a Queen Mother was limited to whatever | |
| the King said, period. She did NOT ever have the power to | |
| "command" zip from the king. | |
| And anyways, what, EXACTLY, does the Davidic kingdom hierarchy | |
| structure have to do with Mary??? As far as I can tell from | |
| carefully reading Old Testament Scripture, absolutely nothing. | |
| So, based on Solomon's DENIAL of the Queen Mother Bathsheba's | |
| request, for you to try to build case for Mary as an | |
| "intercessor" between us and Jesus Christ is illogical as well | |
| as wishful thinking. | |
| If you want to bring up a successful intercessor during Davidic | |
| kingdom times, you MUST point to David's top military man, Joab, | |
| who interceded on behalf of Absalom. Joab was a successful | |
| intercessor! Bathsheba was definitely NOT a successful | |
| intercessor. Yet you want to use her unsuccesful intercession as | |
| "typology" for "Queen Mother" Mary as an "intercessor" between | |
| us and Jesus??? | |
| Is the issue for you successful intercession or not? If the key | |
| adjective is "successful", Queen Mother Bathsheba need not | |
| apply. So, trying to associate Bathsheba with "Queen Mother" | |
| Mary is of no use. | |
| On the topic of successful intercession, General Joab was not | |
| the only successful intercessor with a King of Israel. Even | |
| before David became King, another example of successful | |
| intercession with the King is Jonathan, King Saul's son, who | |
| successfully interceded on behalf of David to keep King Saul | |
| from killing David. | |
| In summary, as is irrefutably written in Old Testament | |
| Scripture, the Queen Mother during Davidic kingdom times had no | |
| special advantage over either the son of a King or his top | |
| military man in the ability to intercede on behalf of somebody. | |
| So, this "Queen of Heaven" concept does not match up with | |
| Davidic kingdom access or intercessory power. | |
| Therefore there is no Scriptural basis for a "Mary Queen Mother | |
| of Heaven" interceding for us with Jesus Christ. And no, just | |
| because they were successful intercessors during Davidic Kingdom | |
| times, I will certainly not pray to Joab or Jonathan. I will | |
| continue to pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. | |
| There is no other intercessor between us and God but God's Son, | |
| although many Catholics labor under the flawed belief that Mary | |
| has some kind of "soft tough" with Jesus that will get believers | |
| some blessings that Jesus is "too busy to give". | |
| I was a Catholic for over 40 years. I know all about praying to | |
| that saint for misplaced items items or that other saint when | |
| you are lost or that wearing the scapular thing for a period of | |
| time or the "promises" from Mary to "guarantee salvation" if we | |
| go to Mass on certain extra days and the statues being carried | |
| from home to home to make us more "holy", and so on. It is all | |
| idolatry. If that offends you, please read this: | |
| Revelation 22:12 �Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my | |
| recompense with me, to REPAY EACH ONE FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. 13 I | |
| am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the | |
| beginning and the end.� 14 Blessed are those who wash their | |
| robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and | |
| that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the | |
| dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and | |
| IDOLATERS, and EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND PRACTICES FALSEHOOD.16 �I, | |
| Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things | |
| for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the | |
| bright morning star.� 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, �Come.� | |
| And let the one who hears say, �Come.� And let the one who is | |
| thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life | |
| without price. 18 I WARN EVERYONE who hears the words of the | |
| prophecy of this book: IF ANYONE ADDS TO THEM, God will add to | |
| him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes | |
| away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take | |
| away his share in qhe tree of life and in the holy city, which | |
| are described in this book. 20 He who testifies to these things | |
| says, �Surely I am coming soon.� Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The | |
| grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. | |
| THINK, man, THINK! | |

| @Anthony Gelbert ..........The point is this, the king makes | |
| the decision.........his mother makes the intercession for the | |
| people. In John 2: 1-11, they got the BEST WINE. | |
| Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 4 hours ago | |
| @mike teixeira So now you want to present Christ's water into | |
| wine miracle, written about in John, as the basis for Mary as an | |
| intercessor, even though there is zero basis for Mary as an | |
| intercessor for Old Testament Davidic kingdom Scripture? What | |
| did Mary say at that wedding? Mary said, �Do whatever HE tells | |
| you.�. Yet, the Catholic Church REFUSES to do what Christ | |
| actually tells us to do. | |
| Where does Christ tell us what we actually must do? Throughout | |
| the New Testament, of course. And, while we are on the subject | |
| of Christ's miracle at Cana, as written by John, please remember | |
| that John also wrote Revelation. If there was any Scriptural | |
| Basis for Mary as an intercessor, based on her asking Christ to | |
| help out at the wedding at Cana, John would have said so in | |
| Revelation. Do you find Mary mentioned anywhere in the Book of | |
| Revelation? No. The only female symbol in the Book of Revelation | |
| that has Scriptural Basis is the Bride of Christ, which you know | |
| is a symbol for the Church, not Mary as an alleged "Queen of | |
| Heaven". | |
| Mike, when you placed all those exclamation marks after the "No | |
| apologies" portion of your initial comment defending the fact | |
| that you worship Mary, I felt the need to contend for the Faith | |
| 🕊️ through sound Christian Doctrine. Thoughout | |
| this exchange, I kept in mind that, even if your injured pride | |
| keeps you from embracing these truths, other Catholics, more | |
| receptive to sound Christian doctrine, may read the exchange and | |
| see the Heretic, Idolatrous errors in Catholicism and seek | |
| Salvation through Christ. 🕊️ Otherwise, they are | |
| sadly doomed to perdition. As Paul said in Galatians, God is not | |
| mocked. ☝🏻 | |
| Mike, I will remember you in my prayers. May God have mercy on | |
| you and bring you to life everlasting, Amen. | |
| Proverbs 28:23 Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more | |
| favor than he who flatters with his tongue. | |
| James 5:19-20 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should | |
| wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, | |
| remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their | |
| way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of | |
| sins. 🕊 | |
| II Peter 2:1-3 But false prophets also arose among the people, | |
| just as there will be false teachers among you, who will | |
| secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master | |
| who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And | |
| many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way | |
| of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will | |
| exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago | |
| is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. | |
| Proverbs 22:8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the | |
| rod of his fury will fail. | |
| Proverbs 27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar | |
| among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart | |
| from him. | |

| @Anthony Gelbert .........YOU missed the part when Mary told | |
| Jesus, " They have no more wine.' That is an intercession. | |
| Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 1 second ago | |
| @mike teixeira 🤔 No, the statement by Mary, " They have | |
| no more wine." wasn't an intercession. Jesus Christ did what he | |
| did, including the miracle of the water into wine and all the | |
| other miracles he performed, when he performed them, because of | |
| THIS: | |
| By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my | |
| judgment is just, for I seek 👉not to please myself | |
| 👈 but him 👈 who sent me. John 5:30 | |
| Well then, did Mary intercede with God the Father at the wedding | |
| in Cana? You probably think so, because Mariologists are always | |
| looking for something to provide Scriptural evidence for their | |
| "Mary Queen of Heaven" case. Again, you would be heretically | |
| guilty of cherry picking without any Scriptural context | |
| whatsoever. | |
| Of His own admission, Christ said He said and did ONLY what the | |
| Father told Him to say and do. If you doubt that BASIC TENET of | |
| New Testament Holy Scripture, then I have nothing further to say | |
| to you, because you have totally lost it in regard to the Misson | |
| of Christ on Earth. | |
| However, if you DO admit to the irrefutable Scriptural TRUTH | |
| that Christ only said and did what God the Father told Him to | |
| say and do, then you have to look at ALL the interactions | |
| between Mary and Jesus Christ, as quoted in Scripture, to see if | |
| your "Mary is the intercessor for us with Christ" case has merit | |
| or not. But Catholic Mariologists didn't do that, because then | |
| their, "Mary is the intercessor for us with Christ" case falls | |
| apart (see below). | |
| Matthew 12:48-50 He replied to him, �Who is my mother, and who | |
| are my brothers?� Pointing to his disciples, he said, �Here are | |
| my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my | |
| Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.� | |
| And, that isn't the only place that Christ disregarded Mary's | |
| attempt to influence His actions, but Mariologists either don't | |
| read the New Testament objectively, or they just ignore any | |
| inconvenient passages that don't fit their Mariology Procrustean | |
| Bed Heresy. 👎 | |
| Did you read about what happened in Nazareth when Christ had | |
| difficulty performing miracles because of the unbelief there? | |
| Mary lived there! Why didn't Mary have anything to say when | |
| Christ bemoaned the unbelief of the people there? Because she | |
| was as human, and needing Salvation, as the rest of us! | |
| Please keep in mind that it was God the Father that told Christ | |
| this: | |
| Mark 6:4-6 "A prophet is not WITHOUT HONOR except in his own | |
| country, AMONG HIS OWN RELATIVES, and in his OWN HOUSE." Now HE | |
| COULD DO NO MIGHTY WORK THERE, except that He laid His hands on | |
| a few sick people and healed them. And HE MARVELED BECAUSE OF | |
| THEIR UNBELIEF. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, | |
| teaching. | |
| There are other passages, too, but I'll stop for brevity. | |
| It is clear from all your comments that you obviously didn't | |
| watch, all the way through, the excellent solidly Scripture | |
| Based video this comment stream is on by Pastor Mike Winger | |
| 👉 Catholic Apologists ABUSE SCRIPTURE to TEACH | |
| MARIOLOGY: How to find Jesus in the OT pt 15. | |
| What you are doing is parroting, after swallowing, hook, line | |
| and heretical sinker, whatever the Catholic Church cherry picks | |
| in a Scripture passage to Mariology typology twist, Mike. | |
| 👎🤦‍♂️ | |
| What you cannot seem to get is the FACT that Christ's | |
| Incarnation, while sine qua non to our Salvation by his | |
| sacrifice on the Cross over 30 years later, was a DESCENT for | |
| Him. The Angels were celebrating Him at Christ's birth, not | |
| Mary. Being born of a virgin DID NOT "elevate" said virgin Mary | |
| beyond being blessed among women, but you Mariologists want to | |
| crown her with some great and exalted "Queen of Heaven" Heresy | |
| simply because you think it was a big deal that she submitted to | |
| the will of God, as Mosaic Law REQUIRED ALL Jews to do. | |
| 🦉 By the way, do you read the Bible regularly? I don't | |
| think so, because if you did, you would understand that what you | |
| are doing right now is judged severely by God. ☝🏻 | |
| 🚩There are many passages in Holy Scripture that make it | |
| clear that those who teach heresy, like all Mariologists, are a | |
| disgrace in the eyes of God. Here is just one of them: | |
| You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is | |
| like a sharpened razor. You love evil rather than good, | |
| falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful | |
| word, you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to | |
| everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your | |
| tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. 👉 | |
| Psalm 52:2-5 | |
