How the Bible handles SCOFFERS: Romans 3:1-20
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2017
- Atheists and anti-Christians often mock and ridicule the Bible with straw man attacks. This is a passage where Paul deals with this sort of thing and teaches us how to handle it as well. We also learn some serious humility.

Mike its so amazing that we will probably NEVER even meet. I'm a stranger to you yet through Christ Jesus you are helping along with the Holy Spirit to change my life. Seriously you have had a great impact on me. Which has had a positive impact on my family and basically the people around me. When ever your feeling down or burnt out......remember what I just wrote. You have touched the hearts of perfect strangers that you will never know. YOU ARE INDEED A FISHER OF MEN and I thank you and above all GOD for that. God Bless
just found you Mike a few weeks ago, and I can’t get enough. I always have one of your talks on my TV, knowing my unsaved wife and daughter are listening in the background. God bless you brother. ✌️
Never give up on them! People prayed for me for years. Finally, on the street in New Orleans God sent a stranger who led me to Jesus and changed my eternity. He was the answer to their prayers. That was 1984!! May the Lord continue to use you, and to pursue their hearts. May they see Jesus in you! ✌️🙏

"You cant really come to grace until you are willing to shoulder the burdens of your own moral failings and then God has so much grace"
Wow stop and think about that what a profound statement Mike has made here thanks Mike for this incredibly deep cut
Thank you Mike. Going through Scripture line by line is what my late husband & I did on Saturdays
& I miss it so until my daughter told me about you. God bless you & your wife & ministry.
My sincere condolences in your grief, sister.
The advantage of being born into a Jewish culture is that you are raised with the wisdom and teachings of God. However, none of it is of any advantage if it doesn't bring you to repentance before Jesus, who is God, and the only God.
I just watched this teaching. I am new to finding you on RUclips. I loved how you taught that when Christians read the Bible they always look at it like the bad things that Paul wrote about is about others. But we need to look at it like it’s about us. We have all fallen short. Thanks for sharing!!!
You make it look so easy and do a wonderful job breaking down a very difficult book to read and understand. I see the makings of a very fine, outstanding minister. Keep up the excellent work and may God bless.
+49685sb thank you!
the law is the white glove....and this expression is just another example to demonstrate how this individual is a good teacher..
Thank you brother I’ve just subscribed to your channel and podcast. I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for, solid food. God bless you brother from London, England
Rawjugga0 I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you Mike. Another teaching that gets to the 'nitty gritty' of scripture from you. Very well explained imho. God bless you and yours from Bolton England. :-)
Hey this is really random but thank you for putting the whole song at the end, that really blessed me :)
Good word, Bro Mike. Still enjoying this series! After being saved on the street in New Orleans in '84, after years of the drug world and suicidal, I got into a singles' Bible study at my old church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He took us thru the entire book of Romans every Tuesday night for over a year! He taught as long as you! Lol...it was awesome. Romans is perfect for a new believer. This is awesome, too!
We're still waiting on Hebrews. ☝️✌️
Mike the movie star.....Mighty Ducks 2 LOL :)
Also I’ve already learned that whatever the norm is for this world, in the spiritual-in the kingdom of God it’s usually the exact opposite.
Another superb teaching Mike. I am enjoying this series tremendously. I am thrilled that you are passionate about Israel and are not a part of the 'Replacement Theology Movement' that seems to be rampant in our churches. I also like that you love the work of Ray Comfort. I've been watching him for a few years now, have a couple of his videos and books and have learned A LOT about using the Law to witness to those who think they're good people - as I once did - even though I can't understand how I could possibly have believed that!!
I've passed your site onto my son and his wife and my home group leader and her husband. You are definitely helping us in our walk with Jesus. Thank so much. :)
I never enjoyed the book of Romans like this in my life thank you Mike Winger
Romans changed my life, and continues to, my favorite book for a while!
I am so glad to stumble upon someone who adresses the issue with scoffers.
The problem with scoffers is their "crazy-making" tactics that serve no purpose, other than to drive the person talking to them... crazy.
The scoffers have absolutely NO DESIRE what-so-ever to learn anything.
They don't WANT to learn.
Knowledge is not "valuable" to them. (Even if it's soul-saving knowledge.)
They don't WANT to change.
They see NOTHING wrong with themselves.
They feel personally attacked or "victimized" when convicted by the gospel.
They try to manipulate and "create doubt" in the minds of people they view as a threat to their ego. (ego = sin-nature)
These are all traits and characteristics of "Narcissistic Personality Disorder."
(Which is indeed a "mental illness.")
And as we know, the bible mentions a connection between "Demons" and "Diseases."
And the word "Disease" is a vague term that can describe a LOT of things... even mental illness.
Connect the dots.
Waste NO time with scoffers.
If they ask questions about the gospel, answer truthfully to the best of your knowledge.
(Even if the question they ask is most likely just a sarcastic "joust" at you.)
But... be ready to plant the seed and "walk away" from them.
For Jesus spoke few words to the Pharisees when they challenged him about God's law, regarding the prostitute, and how sin (at that time) should be dealt with.
And also keep in mind...
God gave "free-will" to us.
To try and force the Gospel onto someone would be to undermine the very reason God created us in the first place.
(We share the message, but only God/Jesus can save the soul.)
You can't plant a seed and watch it bloom on the same day.
Mike's channel is my favourite. I always learn something. God bless you brother
such a great lesson: the law is the knowledge of sin but it doesn't save you
Thank you Pastor Mike! God bless you for all the energy and love (and fun) you put in these teachings!
I find myself scoffing at people on occasion. When I do it takes me right back to an old “friend” in the world who turned scoffing into a science. When I get get called out on it, it’s hard not to blame him for it! LOL In a way it’s true that his attitude had an affect on me. But in reality it was my own fault for hanging around with him…..bad company really does corrupt good morals. Regardless of the influences in our lives, our Heavenly Father is not pleased with our foul play. When we sin, just own it and confess it. We must take it seriously when we do
I love the way you keep it real and engage with our culture Mike! God bless you!
Mike, I love your teaching! Side note, my cousin played one of the Northstar hockey players in the first Mighty Ducks! I've always thought that was cool! Thank you so much for digging into Scripture in every teaching!
So glad I found this series
Like everybody else, I’m so glad I found this video! I wasn’t being attacked by atheists but I was being attacked by other groups like the Muslims. Some Muslim even told me to “change my religion,” or “marry a Muslim man,” all because I was complaining about how there are no Christian men out there! Can you believe how ridiculous that guy sounded? Hilarious!
This was really awesome! Mike is a lawyer for the Word. Great examples and insight on this incredibly difficult topic.
Can’t stop listening ... God Bless u
Amen! GLORY TO GOD!
GOD BLESS Brother.
Thank you Pastor Mike!!
Thank you for this. It really helped me to better understand this chapter.
Love the original music at the end brother.
It seems to me that Paul, while still blind in Damascus, God granted Paul time to review and meditate on what he had learned under Gamaliel, and Paul connected the dots.
Thank you Pastor Mike
Hey Mike, keep at it brother, you're doing an awesome job. This sermon came into my recommended videos list at the perfect time. I've recently been convicted by the spirit to pick up ministering to people at work and on the go again. God has blessed me with really receptive witnesses so far but I feel like the appearance of this video is the LORD 's way of telling me he's about to turn up the heat. God Bless you brother, through the LORD you're impacting so many lives. God bless you! 😁😁😁
Thank you Aaron! God is good!
you're very welcome, and Amen brother, God is good.
Aaron Barber I felt a similar way! Words of truth my friend :)
Thanks Pastor Mike
I sure appreciate learning straight from the text in context, what an honor for the Jews, Gods chosen people to carry Gods word, to protect and preserve and share with the world, I want to become a stronger Christian and the Law is certainly a great place to work from, I have considered learning more of the customs and possibly learning to observe Shabbat, God has created a beautiful relationship and it seems like a day without a cell phone, tv, etc etc while focusing on disconnecting from the world and connecting with God is a great way to prepare for a week in the world, surely this would help me be a light in the darkness that construction can be.
Thank you for great study
God bless you
Ty for this. Important topics from scripture.
The law is not only intended to show that you can't be saved by your works, but also to prevent disease and outbreaks in the Isrealite community, and to help reinforce an mindset of sanitation. As well as showing us what God is against, like homosexuality and what God is for, like loving your neighbor as you would yourself.
+Justin Villada The OutDoor Son I agree with all of that! Perhaps I should say "the purpose of the law as it pertains to salvation is to show us God's righteousness and our sinful state, though it has many other benefits"
Mike Winger-Amen.
I live in morro bay love your videos brother love you
Keep up the good work; God bless you
+John K thank you, John
thanks bro Mike
Amazing teaching as always. I just wanted to point out that the tree falling in a forest is kind of a bad example though. If a tree falls but no one is there to hear, it wouldn't make a sound. It would vibrate the air but sound only exist once this vibration is transformed into sound information at the cochlea. Might be a futile distinction to you but I don't know, just wanted to point that out lol. Sound, like color, is something that is limited to an experience so it needs an "experiencer".
I am learning on how you have these videos lined up.....
Excellent thanks!
A good one again ! Thank you. What is the song after the preaching ("You are my joy")? Beautifully interpreted...
I like his verse by verse teaching verse by verse
Thank you.
Thanks for these teachings Mike! Any chance you’d be willing to post your notes or a link to them in the descriptions?
Awesometeaching!
We are all sinners.
As a Canadian that’s so cool you were a mighty ducks extra, you can’t know how culturally important that movie is in Canada. It’s as popular as lion king.
Thank you
22:12 If it is not love then it is sin. Matthew 22:37-40
Mike they NEVER realize the inconsistencies. Never. We can explain what you're saying until we are blue in the face and they still insist on scoffing. Ah the non believer let us all pray for them and their unseeing eyes
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:All those who Believe negates calvanism
It's interesting you mention Ray Comfort, I just noticed recently that the two of you are based in the same town.
Do you know each other? Have you ever collaborated with each other?
Thank you Pastor Mike. I love your solid biblical teaching. I wanted to know if you can recommend any pastors in San Diego and Temecula? My sister and I are looking for a new church. I love your style and hoped you knew someone to refer in our areas. Thank you! God Bless! :)
Why cant you go to a catholic or Methodist or protestant church? In the uk l just go my lical village church.is there a special reason? I would like to understand.
Catholicism is closest to Judaism and it's the religion Jesus was in. Walk like Jesus
@@bambinoandmore46 there are people who prefer to go to churches that are good at teaching the bible. Then there is also the question of a churches position on major things such as homosexuality, female pastors and whether they stick to the biblical position or do they compromise with society?
@@azteca8037 Catholicism is if anything furthest from Jesus - Jesus did not teach that his mother Mary is a mediator between God and man or Jesus Himself and man. Jesus did not recognize Peter as head of the church. Jesus did not teach that priests alone are able to forgive men's sins and be mediators between men and God or that the rulings of pope's have a standing as equal to God's word. Many Catholic doctrines are far from biblical
Fusion Christian Church in Temecula.
Nice Denethor line Mike 😉
Thankyou
Thanks for your work Mike. Do you have a spot where I can download your messages?
Hi Sheldon, I do have a podcast which allows you to download the audio of the messages. Just go to whatever podcasting application you have (ITunes, Stitcher, Google Play, etc) and look for the podcast called “Bible Thinker”. We are updating that podcast with a lot of episodes each week in order to get it all caught up to where the RUclips channel is.
“My sin was planned”.......Mike,...when I heard you say that, immediately I thought of John MacArthur, et al, speaking as CALVANISTS....😬
He did say that? I must have missed that part
What would you actually say to someone who says “I don’t believe it so it doesn’t matter”?
God's kingdom waits for you.
Live God's Gift
I want to find the music he plays at the end of the video! someone help please :)
I want the whole album
@@josephdoctor6423 you can find it on his channel
The entire reason I looked this up, what Romans 3:3 means, is because i happened to see jentezen Franklin on tv just now, saying he this is what his message for the day is. And he explained it as, and I’m paraphrasing here, that if God has given you a special word or a dream in your heart or something you have prayed for and others don’t believe it, so what! Who cares if others scoff at what God put in YOUR heart. I’m sorry but that sounds very wrong to me. BUT I’ve only been saved for 5 years so I’m still learning. I know I’ve barely scraped the surface so far because there is so so much to learn. I believe we can never learn everything, every lesson, every secret in the Bible. BUT, am I right that that has nothing to do with this verse? Is he making this another man centered message?
Great stuff. It's actually the Hebrew people that carried the word of Yah, The levitical priesthood to be more specific not Judah
Hair splitting, really. Technically correct being "the best kind of correct". Saul of Tarsus, a Benjamite, called himself a jew. What make you of that?
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin
And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace
25:47 Sadly I know people who actually do talk and pray like this...
It's amazing how people can disregard the Hebrew scriptures, given that God prepared an expert on the Jewish scriptures to be an apostle to the gentikes.
At 12:17 you start to talk about how things don’t depend on you witnessing them to have happened you gave the example of a tree falling and what not. This is in part why I reject “quantum theory” as it’s presented.
quantum theory isn't in conflict with this, quantum theory only states that you can only know the state of a particle when you measure it. let me give you an example, can you know the color of a car without ever looking at it? well maybe if someone else tells you, but that would require them to have looked at it. people often have a mystical view of quantum theory that isn't what its really about to begin with. It isn't in conflict with Christianity
I’m just going to agree with another person who left a comment here and say that as a Christian, quantum theory is not problematic
If you want a more detailed analisis, the OT handles scoffers by either annihilating them or shuning them.
The NT in the 4 gospels, Jesus ecurages you to be the better more mature, concius and developed being, and be an example of life to the scoffers, with love and maturity.
The other letters of the NT just have a task list of things to fullfil, like be good, dont hate, dont fight, yada yada yada.
Good journey.
Perhaps what God knows that Matt Dillahunty needs, is to stop rebelling against the light he's been given.
Why is it EVERYTIME i click on this video, i get an ad? EVERYTIME! And its the same ad too?!!
Try getting adblock, it helps much. What a difference between my computer and my ipad and phone.
@@cherylcogan3542 I deleted my previous response because I erroneously replied to you when I meant to reply to Derek in order to help him. Please try to forgive this grievous mistake.
@@kevinschaefer3945 yes, something there did not make sense. 😁. Most certainly forgiven. Maybe I best delete mine then too...
Scoffers do not believe on this 27. And he sat on the Throne of His Glory and the whole judgment was given to the Son of Man and he will cause the sinners to pass away and be destroyed from the face of the Earth.
One thing the old covenant was a mistration of death. We don't want to be under the death penalty. Jesus took care of it.
They still put people to death, even Christians put people to death.
@@rockovahsacralonte570 yes for the crime that is committed.
Scoffers are found everywhere. Some of them do so while saying they are Christian by choosing the negative in their interpretations of what was written in it instead. Like when the Corinthians were not welcoming saint Paul after his conversion by doing so. According to them somehow the Lord had already perfected their hearts and so they were not conscious about how unwelcoming they were being towards saint Paul while not valuing his contribution there too. Kind of like how some men false accuse their wives of cheating on them first before becoming joyful about the good news. Or instead how a wife who is guilty of doing so is then all afraid of accepting the only Jewish remedy that was available at the time to her to help prevent a kind of infection later while she was having no choice while participating herself too in the adultery. A kind of infection which often plagued women who were being put away by their hard hearted husbands through no fault of their own accord if they were not Jewish far more often.
Hey
Do you preach to pleas your audience or do you revel the real truth to them? What did Jesus say was the first commandment? How did he say we should pray? Are you the only minister of the gospel is true and what is false teachings? What is the will of God for Christians?
the will of God is that we believe and be saved "for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." but, "he who believes in Him(Jesus) is not condemned; but he who does not believed is condemned already because he does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
James JAH Avey the will I’d God is your sanctification according to Paul in 1 Thesolonians 4.
James JAH Avey the will of God is to love... Point blank period
The way you phrase your statements first spews blood on the other person first. And then you smear that same blood spewed. No one can win your argument. But God is LOVE. That immediately cleans out the dirty blood spewed. And your statement dies. Period.
@@kelventan9886 well, yes. we are ALL guilty. all of us. and then God sent Jesus to clean up the mess and pay our debt owed. His blood shed does clean us all up if we accept it. you pretty much summed it up :)
Levitican Law was unjust that's why Jesus stopped the stoning of the adulterous woman.
The law wasn’t unjust, later in Romans Paul says the Law is good. It’s God’s Word it can’t be unjust.
I love Mike Winger, but this didn’t age well when applying this knowledge to the jab! 😬.
06/28/20 - Again Good Stuff ! Romans, the Book that changed the world. Well, actually the Holy Bible is the " Collection of Books " that changed the world. God Bless in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Muslims take Romans 3:7 out of context. They say Paul spread the Gospel through deceit.
Good teaching!
You think there were atheists in the old testament. Nah, they just didn't believe in the God of Israel. They believed in their own gods. Science is the Advent of Atheism, it's a new thing.
There must have been at least one atheist in antiquity;
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.
In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
Evidence?
Mike, the person you describe at minute 24 is exactly why purgatory makes sense from a purely logical point of view.
Scripture says for we are appointed to die once and then there is judgement. Hebrews 9:27. No purgatory, its a false doctrine made up by the Catholic church.
"Stop building strawmen! 😢" Says the guy who five minutes earlier misrepresents Matt Dillahunty's position beyond recognition, puts words in his mouth (deliberately one must presume) while scoffing at him mockingly. The amount of hypocrisy in such a small amount of time is almost impressive.
Anton Ekstrand Glad you’re listening to his sermons at least! God is offering you eternal life through repentance of your sin and faith in Jesus Christ! Obey the gospel. It is truly good news.
Right, it's like he mentioned "strawmen" specifically, to trigger the scoffing spirit that indwells you.
You are powerless to the spirit that indwells you.
Humble yourself and know Christ. Jesus is waiting right now in his Word. He's waiting to intrduce himself to you. Seek him with a sincere heart.....
He isn't hard to find, if you actually look where he can be found. He'll introduce himself to you and it won't be possible to deny he exists. Personal confirmation....man can't prove Christ to you, but Christ can prove himself to you.
Have you ever looked at the Talmud?
