Mike Winger idea 2022-03-07

Egalitarians do the same with Galatians 3:28; Thomas Schreiner argues no single set of texts should function as a prism controlling the others.

Mistake #7: One passage rules the rest — egalitarian side

Gal 3:28 1 Tim 2:12 proof-texting
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-10

Proof text #4: John 20:24-28 and Thomas's demand

Continuity of crucifixion marks in resurrection body

John 20:24-28 John 20:24-28 Nail prints Crucifixion marks
Mike Winger idea 2018-03-21

Thomas touching Jesus in Luke — touching is fine, clinging is what was forbidden in John 20:17

Clarifying John 20:17 by comparison to the Thomas passage

John 20:17 John 20:27 Mary Magdalene Jesus resurrection
Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

The 'never be rebuilt' clause: Phoenician Tyre was permanently destroyed. What replaced it was a Greek city under Alexander — a new foundation, new population, new identity — not a restoration.

This is the most debated element of the Tyre prophecy; Winger addresses it with historical citations.

Ezekiel 26 apologetics Bible prophecy Ezekiel 26
Mike Winger idea 2019-01-16

Pivot to objections: addressing 'but what about?' passages that skeptics use to support the faith-without-evidence definition

Mike transitions from positive case to handling counter-passages.

Hebrews 11:1 Romans 1:19-20 John 20:24 apologetics methodology Hebrews 11:1 Romans 1:19-20
Mike Winger idea 2019-01-16

John 20:24-29 — Thomas passage: 'not seen' does not mean 'without evidence'

Mike addresses the Thomas story as the third counter-passage.

John 20:24-29 hermeneutics faith Thomas
Mike Winger idea 2019-01-16

Thomas's demand to see the nail marks refutes Jehovah's Witness teaching that Jesus rose in a different body

Side point made while explaining the Thomas narrative.

John 20:24-27 Jehovah's Witnesses resurrection body Thomas
Mike Winger idea 2019-01-16

Jesus gives Thomas evidence first, then commands belief — a model of evidence-based faith

The climax of Mike's Thomas analysis.

John 20:27-28 resurrection evidence-based faith Thomas
Mike Winger idea 2019-01-16

Thomas's rebuke was for ignoring available evidence, not for demanding evidence — modern believers have the same pre-appearance evidence

Mike draws the application of the Thomas story to contemporary Christian faith.

John 20:24-29 resurrection Thomas Matt Dillahunty

Papias's key quotation about seeking living witnesses over written sources

The primary Papias text Mike uses to establish the eyewitness-guarantor model.

James John Matthew Peter James John
Mike Winger idea 2019-02-20

Four categories of worthy sources in Papias's framework

Mike breaks down what Papias considered authoritative sources for Jesus tradition.

Richard Bauckham Papias eyewitness hierarchy
Mike Winger idea 2019-02-20

The significance of seven disciples named in Papias and their consistent ordering with the Gospels

Internal consistency between Papias's disciple list and the Gospel disciple lists.

Papias twelve disciples seven as symbolic number
Mike Winger idea 2019-05-08

John 20:17 — 'Do not cling to me' means do not grasp or hold on, not 'do not touch'; the Greek haptomai connotes holding on, explaining why Jesus also allowed Thomas to touch him later

Response to question about why Jesus would not let Mary touch him but later allowed Thomas to touch him

John 20:17 Mary Magdalene John 20:17 Thomas
