@psalm119164 @ich1ban123456 @ymmotrojam I’m just curious. What does “authority over men” look like? You mean, your pastor tells you what to do and you unquestioningly listen?

@JohnPiper But you don’t apply this consistently. Doesn’t your total depravity teaching say all means all in Rom 3:10-18? “They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt”? Yet this quote from Psalms 14 starts out specifying who it is...

Craig Blomberg's nuanced view: 'ezer' means the one being helped bears primary responsibility -- Mike disagrees, citing Psalm 146:3-7 as a counter-example.

Philip Payne's argument from Colossians 3:16: all Christians should have a teaching ministry -- refuted

Mike addresses another egalitarian argument about women teachers.

Paul uses 'the law' to refer to all of scripture, not just the Pentateuch

Mike argues that 'law' in Paul's usage can mean the Old Testament generally, citing 1 Corinthians 14:21.

1 Corinthians 14:21 Isaiah 28:11-12 John 12:34 1 Corinthians 14:21 Isaiah 28:11-12 John 12:34
Mike Winger idea 2022-12-04

Jesus also uses 'law' to refer to Psalms, not just the Pentateuch

Mike provides additional evidence that 'the law' was used broadly in the NT.

John 15:25 Psalm 35:19 Psalm 69:4 law as scripture John 15:25 Psalm 35:19

Conclusion 3: Christians must not despise what God commands about gender roles

Mike calls Christians to celebrate rather than resist biblical teachings on gender roles.

Bill Johnson's 'superior and inferior truths' teaching: the judgment of God is true but the mercy of God is 'more true'; anything not seen in Jesus is an inferior truth

Todd White's ministry approach of showing love and compassion is genuinely effective as a witness — but his repeated formula of 'Jesus thinks you're amazing' strips truth of important counterbalancing truths.

Harold Camping's numerology: 7,000 years of creation history derived from combining Genesis 7:4 and 2 Peter 3:8

Mike now explains the mathematical system Camping used to arrive at his dates.

Genesis 7:4 2 Peter 3:8 Psalm 90:4 hermeneutics Harold Camping numerology
Mike Winger idea 2018-04-18

2 Peter 3:8 in context: the passage teaches God's patience and the unexpectedness of judgment — not a mathematical formula for calculating dates

Mike reads 2 Peter 3:8-11 in full to demonstrate that Camping's formula rips the verse from its actual argument.

Psalm 22: David was not a prophet? Mike rebuts and notes Psalm 22 clearly speaks of future events

Ra argues Psalm 22 is not messianic because (1) David was not a prophet, (2) the Psalms are in the 'writings' section not the 'prophets,' and (3) David never experienced anything like what's described

Rashi and ancient rabbinic Midrash confirm Psalm 22 was understood as messianic

Were there any ancient Jewish authorities who read Psalm 22 as messianic?

Mike Winger idea 2018-08-29

Psalm 22's 'dogs' and 'bulls of Bashan' are metaphors for human enemies, not literal animals

Ra argues Psalm 22 depicts David being chased by literal dogs, making it inapplicable to Jesus

Psalm 22 describes crucifixion hundreds of years before it was invented

Mike Winger idea 2018-08-29

Psalm 22:16 textual debate: 'like a lion' vs. 'they pierced' — three sources support 'pierced'

Ra claims 'they pierced my hands and feet' in Psalm 22:16 is a mistranslation — the correct Hebrew is 'like a lion they were at my hands and feet'

Psalm 22:16 Septuagint Psalm 22:16 Crucifixion prophecy

Reason 1 refuted: Bible organization is not a valid test for inspiration

The skeptic argues the Bible is a 'hopeless mess' that is not well organized and should be arranged by topic (creation, relationships, parenting, prayer, etc.).

Song of Solomon Psalms Proverbs Sermon on the Mount biblical organization anachronism
Mike Winger idea 2018-04-11

Reason 7 (the 'half reason') addressed: The Bible does contain beautiful poetry; the Judges 19 example is a misrepresentation

The skeptic argues the Bible lacks beautiful, heart-rending poetry and cites Judges 19 (the Levite's concubine) as a counterexample of ugliness.

Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

Ra's appeal to Quranic prophecy is self-refuting: the Quran's 'best' examples either copy Old Testament passages Ra already called invalid, or are too vague (Donald Trump in Surah 68).

Ra attempts to relativize biblical prophecy by arguing the Quran has equally valid (or better) fulfilled prophecy.

Ezekiel 26 Isaiah 53 Psalm 22 Islam apologetics Bible prophecy
Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

God can speak through creation, but creation communicates general attributes (glory, power) not specific instruction — the written word provides far greater specificity.

Viewer question about whether God speaks through nature/creation outside the Bible.
