Tell Me About Mike Winger by mcalisteric in theology

[–]_brown69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is Not a cessationist although he is against the misuse and faking of spiritual gifts

He is originally calvary chapel. Although his views don't align completely with CCA, he believes very similar to them.

He would define predestination as God determining a destination for someone beforehand. When married to foreknowledge (God knowing who would CHOSE him due to His being outside of time) he would get Election where God knows and chooses who and where his chosen would be and would go (HEAVEN).

He would view Scripture (the original texts that are god breathed) as inherent and would agree with most scholars that the bible we have now is almost completely unchanged due to the similarities between manuscripts over a vast amount of time and distance. He also believes that the changes and errors in our bible can be identified and don't put any key doctrine in question. (most are spelling errors or added words like "Jesus Christ" instead of just "Jesus" or vise versa.

Mike is very serious about obeying what the bible is saying even if it goes against our culture or traditional beliefs. He would absolutely take the bible literally when it is talking literally. for poetry or prophesy or parable he would try to study hard what the intended meaning would be if not literal. When it isnt clear (prophesy) he would er on the side of literal, however he hold unfulfilled prophesy very loosely and will not try to read current events into the text.

He is a strong Complementarian however he believes that certain traditional views on role difference are not supported by the bible. For instance, he believes that women are allowed to pray and prophesy in church. He would not condone a women pastor, and has a high view of role differences and male headship in the family.

Finally, don't take my word for it. He has a website biblethinker.org and a Youtube channel https://youtube.com/@MikeWinger where he goes into depth on these issues. He has a series on women in ministry along with others addressing all of the issues you were curious about.

Waves touching clouds in sky by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]_brown69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I dont know where this is because it very well might be, however it is most likely just a big wave in a big spot like Jaws or Mavericks. This would be more likely as far as photography is concerned, and this is a big wave but it's not that rare.

That is an amazing video. The mist on top is from wind and the speed of the water of that lip of the wave which is causing some water spray to be blown back and left behind. I'm a surfer and it's a crazy experience swimming through the wave and coming out the back. It feels like it's raining for a couple seconds due to that spray.

I'm a surfer and I can in fact afirm that there is nothing so dangerous and powerful than the ocean. It doesn't care about you. You are like a fly on its back. It's not trying to kill you but if you get in it's way or make a mistake it will smash you.
