Comp View Of 1Cor11 Mark

This post is a first. I have never before taken the writing of a complementarian and posted it on my blog

@AsherJacob23060 @AlistairMerrym1 Mt 18:15–17 is plainly about a present process of confronting a sinning brother in the church, not end-time events. What in the chapter itself signals a shift to eschatology? The parable (18:21–35) reinforces presen...

@ilJohnQadamso @BenZeisloft Yes, eschatology matters. While it’s true that Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Mt 28:18), the way that authority is currently exercised is distinct from the way it will be manif...

@MikeWingerii And I wish you would reconsider your call to egalitarians to repent, tolerating those who disagree on secondary matters like you do regarding Calvinism or eschatology. https://t.co/Q6qHK

Q&A: Full Preterism and the AD 70 argument

Responding to alternative end-times views

Matthew 6:10 ('on earth as it is in heaven') is the central practical scripture of Bethel's theology — they interpret it as God manifesting heaven's conditions on earth right now

Mike identifies and challenges Bethel's key proof text for their present-kingdom expectations

Revelation 6:16-17 and Revelation 11:15-18 show that the coming of God's kingdom involves wrath and judgment, not just signs and wonders

Mike cites specific Revelation texts to establish what Scripture means by 'the kingdom coming'

Bethel's standard for 'heaven on earth' is too low: they aim for physical healing while Revelation 21:4 promises no death, sorrow, or pain — which has not yet come

Mike argues that Bethel's version of heaven-on-earth falls short even of its own claim

Q&A — Bethel's eschatology: they hold a dominion theology, believing the church should 'disciple the nations' — meaning transform entire nations, not just individuals

Q&A question from Don Schneider about end-times views

Introduction: end-of-the-world predictions have been continuous from the time of Jesus to the present day

Mike opens the stream by framing the topic — the unending stream of failed doomsday predictions — and signals his calm, informed response: 'It's the end of the world as I know it, and I feel fine.'

Pattern: end-of-world predictors always predict within their own lifetime and re-predict when the first date fails

Mike identifies a consistent behavioral pattern across all serial doomsday predictors.

Principle: fulfilled prophecy is easier to interpret than unfulfilled prophecy; future prophecy is inherently difficult

After critiquing Mead's Isaiah 24 use, Mike pauses to make a broader hermeneutical observation about prophecy study.

David Mead's use of 'generation' and the founding of Israel (1948) as a prophetic countdown trigger

Mike briefly addresses Mead's broader eschatological system, which ties generation-counting to 1948.

The Second Coming is by design unexpected; Christians differ from the world not in knowing the date but in being ready

Mike draws the practical theological conclusion from 2 Peter 3.

Reason 1: Every generation assumes it is the last generation

First of seven reasons people fall for end-times predictions.

Reason 4: We see 'fulfillment' everywhere — vague general events matching vague prophetic categories creates false confirmation

Fourth reason people fall for false predictions.

Reason 6: People want it — desire for Jesus's return creates confirmation bias favoring predictions

Sixth reason people fall for false predictions.

Reason 8 (bonus): We miss the real message of the Second Coming — it is an ethical call to readiness, not a date-prediction puzzle

Mike adds an eighth reason as a corrective that reframes the whole topic.

Preview of next livestream: How long did Jesus expect it would be until his return? Examining parables and Second Coming teachings

Mike closes the main presentation and previews the follow-up topic.

Q&A: How should Christians prepare for the end of the world?

Question from Bethany Cole Baum. Mike answers from a premillennial perspective.

Q&A: How should Christians feel about the end times — fear, joy, concern?

Question from Joshua Rivera.

Q&A: Premillennial vs. postmillennial; why Mike identifies himself as premillennial in this context

Question from B.C.B. Lloyd about millennial views.

Q&A: Pre-trib vs. post-trib rapture — Mike's personal uncertainty and call not to divide over it

Question from 'Detective in Christ' about the timing of the rapture.

Closing exhortation: test all end-times claims by whether they come from clear Scripture or from Bible-to-symbol-to-math-formula chains; be ready rather than predict

Mike closes the Q&A and the entire session with a pastoral summary.

Christian definition of exaltation: being with God forever in glorified human bodies — received by grace by every believer as part of salvation.

Eighth vocabulary comparison: 'exaltation.' The Christian meaning is simply eschatological union with God in resurrected bodies.

Q&A — New bodies and the New Earth: souls wait, bodies come later at the resurrection

Eschatology question on timing of resurrection bodies

Q&A — N.T. Wright's phrase 'life after life after death': Mike doesn't know it well enough to comment

Question about N.T. Wright's eschatological framing

Q&A — Sequence of events: go to heaven first, receive new bodies later at the future resurrection (1 Corinthians 15)

Follow-up on eschatological sequence — heaven, judgment, glorification, new earth

Q&A: Satan's final judgment — is Satan already in the lake of fire because of the cross?

Viewer question: Did Christ's victory at the cross cast Satan into the lake of fire? Is Satan now just a puppet?

Introduction: the topic is eschatology and the 'failed apocalyptic prophet' charge against Jesus

Mike opens the livestream, signals the depth of preparation, and identifies the central question driving the stream.

Holding eschatological views with appropriate grip: core gospel vs. peripheral doctrines

Mike pauses to address his hermeneutical and pastoral posture toward disagreement on eschatology.

Q&A: Division over the rapture — what to disagree about and why Christians shouldn't divide over it

Viewer Joshua Rivera asks about the extent of rapture disagreement.

CoG is a doomsday cult — they predicted the end of the world in 2012, scrubbed those predictions from the internet, and are reportedly making new end-times predictions

Additional facts about CoG beyond Kim's book. Based on testimony from a recent former member.

Matthew 24 — Jesus lists wars, earthquakes, and famines as signs that should NOT alarm believers about the Second Coming, not as signs that it is near.

Ra argues Matthew 24's signs are always being fulfilled, therefore the prophecy is meaningless. Winger argues Ra misreads the passage's intent.

Prophecies from Revelation are not recommended for use in apologetics because most are unfulfilled — apologetics requires prophecies that are clearly written, extra-biblically verified, and already fulfilled.

Viewer question about using Revelation prophecies with skeptics.

God has a future national plan for Israel, but that does not require uncritical support for every Israeli political action. Christians should be cautious about both Israeli and Palestinian media narratives.

Viewer question about pro-Palestinian Christians who vilify the modern State of Israel.

Revelation 20:13 — At the final judgment, each person is judged 'according to what they had done,' indicating individualized and tailored condemnation, not a uniform punishment.

Mike rounds out his biblical survey with the great white throne judgment in Revelation to show that eschatological judgment is personalized.

Hell likely involves graded punishment — Jesus' teaching about more or less tolerable judgment supports the idea that individual experience in final condemnation varies.

Q&A section: a viewer asks whether hell's punishment bends to the severity of the sin.

Treasures in heaven are eternal, imperishable blessings — not necessities but blessings, possibly including crowns cast before God — as opposed to the temporary, corruptible treasures of earthly life.

Q&A section: a viewer asks what 'treasures in heaven' means and why they would be needed when all needs are met.

It is unwise to predict the timing of the rapture; history of failed predictions demonstrates that 'no man knows the day or the hour' is to be taken seriously — Christians should live ready rather than speculate.

Q&A section: a viewer asks how close we are to the rapture given current events.

Historians broadly agree that Jesus himself understood his mission in eschatological terms — that he was bringing in the kingdom of God. This is Jesus's own self-understanding as reconstructed by historical methodology.

Q&A: Mike has not yet settled his position on pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib rapture — he was raised in Calvary Chapel's strong pre-trib culture but feels his ability to defend pre-trib is thin and wants to do thorough homework before teaching publicly on it

Question from Bradley Wilcox about tribulation timing

Matthew 10:23 — 'Son of Man comes' refers to Jesus's first coming during the disciples' mission trip, not the Second Coming

Q&A: question about a verse that appears to predict Jesus would return before the disciples finished preaching in Israel.

Hebrews 11: 'not seen' means future realities not yet occurring, not things lacking evidence — illustrated by Noah building the ark

Mike's second exegetical argument about the meaning of 'unseen' in Hebrews 11.

Christian call to defend the fatherless — abortion as a moral mandate for Christians regardless of eschatological timeline

Q&A — question about whether abortion can be abolished given worsening culture as end times approach

Face-to-face with God as the referent of "the perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13

Mike elaborates on why "the perfect" refers to the eternal state, using the internal logic of 1 Corinthians 13.
