The dangerous trend of fake prophets on YouTube: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 76)

How A Few Charismatic Pastors Went Viral With Deception

This was embarrassing. They went viral with smoke and mirrors and I just want to clear the air and suggest that these men aren't the thought leaders for our uncertain future.

The dangerous trend of fake prophets on YouTube: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 76)

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 0:52 {Fake Prophecies: How To!} How to make money from giving fake prophecies on YouTube. 2. 29:50 {Christians = Pushovers?} Where's the line between graciousness/meekness and tenacity in everyday life situations (such as a store manager not giving me a refund I'm rightfully due, or a restaurant stating no available seating despite me calling in advance and being told “yes” before driving all the way there)? I'm left feeling guilty when I push for what's right, but are we supposed to be pushovers? 3. 36:30 {Tithing: A Universal Obligation?} Does Abram’s tithe to Melchizedek support that tithing is a universal moral obligation since that passage is pre-law and Melchizedek is a type of Christ? 4. 48:17 {Discerning the Spirit Realm} Coming out of the NAR where everything is over spiritualized, how would someone know if they are actually seeing into the spirit realm or if they need to see a doctor for psychiatric help? 5. 51:55 {Was Jesus Poor?} I can’t imagine Jesus depending on others for money. Didn’t Jesus work as a carpenter for over 15 years before He started His ministry at age 30? He was probably good at it, so wouldn’t He have had His own money? 6. 56:49 {Finding Biblical Definitions} How do laypeople go about finding reliable definitions of specific terms in the Bible, specifically like the word “works” in the book of James? 7. 59:39 {Removing Our Ego from Our Worship} Do you have any advice on how I can get out of my own head while worshiping? I play bass on Sundays, and my ego always tries to take over. 8. 1:01:47 {Ezekiel 44-46: Who is The Prince?} Who is the prince referred to in Ezekiel 44-46? I’ve heard it explained as Jesus during the Millennial Kingdom, but that doesn’t make sense given that he must sacrifice sin offerings. 9. 1:10:24 {Learning to Choose Diligence} What advice would you give someone who wants to change, but keeps choosing laziness instead? 10. 1:14:31 {For When You’re Feeling Condemned} How do you explain to someone that is saved and still messes up (sins) that they are still going to Heaven if they have trusted Christ for salvation?

Vivek's Pagan Jesus Isn't Jesus: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 75)

Bring your own questions to the live chat (put a Q at the beginning of the live chat comment and try to make it something that could be easily understood and include important references). Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1. 0:14 Does Vivek Ramaswamy have a biblical view of Jesus and the Gospel? 2. 16:15 Is Genesis 1:3 the moment Lucifer was made (Morning Star, first creation, first worker, Genesis 1:31 jealous of mankind, new standard very good)? Please also see Ezekiel 28:11, Genesis 3:1, Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18. 3. 24:22 The Parable of the Laborers (Matthew 20) says we get the same reward in Heaven, but the Parable of the Tenants (Matthew 25:14-30) says we get different rewards based on our works. How do we reconcile this? 4. 34:38 Why do Christians continue the tradition of using "LORD" for YHWH in modern translations, and why isn't this practice blasphemous or wrong as groups like the Jehovah’s Witnesses would argue? 5. 42:33 In Acts 19:5-7, it says there were 12 men in total that began prophesying and speaking in tongues. How does this align with Paul’s direction to limit tongues to 2 or 3 people in 1 Corinthians 14:27? 6. 51:42 J. Warner Wallace talks about sanctification as a long hallway between justification and glorification. If some people still make it to glorification without the hallway, why is it necessary at all? 7. 55:28 Hey Mike, what does it mean to "not provoke your children to anger"? Scripture instructs us to discipline our kids, and Hebrews 12:6 allows for the use of punishments, so what counts as provoking? 8.58:44 I do TikTok lives reading Scripture and sharing insights I've found. But does 1 Timothy 2: 11-15 make this sinful for me as a woman? I truly want to know how to please God. 9. 1:01:38 I recently came to Christ and since have been on fire for Christ. My wife has been a Christian all her life and often compares her walk to mine and wonders why she doesn't have the same fire. Advice? 10. 1:05:53 This might sound weird, but sometimes thinking of God as perfectly good and loving makes me doubt. Can we really be so lucky to have the best-case scenario God?

These accusations are too big to ignore

I don't share this in a lighthearted way. If children are in danger and victims are left undefended, then those who can do something should do something. If Greg is telling the truth, then he can do something. If he is lying, he needs to publicly admit it. But I've learned too much over the past year and a half to just ignore such strong accusations accompanied by claims that Greg has proof to back them up. Of the two videos I showed you, I can only find one still available online. Here's the full sermon where Locke said the stuff about Joel Osteen. That portion starts around 1:05:00 in.
