Episode 311 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. I have a question about Romans 11. In whom are what are the gentiles and Israel grafted into? And what is the nature of this engrafting since it seems Paul says that parts of Israel have been broken off and he warns the gentiles that they can be broken off? And lastly, what is the significance of this for the Christians life?
2. I’ve been taught my whole life that after the cross and resurrection, unbelievers are sitting in a prison with an open door and all they have to do is just walk out. This sounds a lot like universalism but am assured by those teaching it that is not because those that do not walk out are choosing to stay. Can you explain this idea?
3. What does it mean to “watch and pray” in the book of Matthew?
4. In Romans 9, Paul says he wished he could be accursed for the sake of his Jewish brothers. Is he saying this because he wants us to have a love for the Jewish people?
5. Why are there so many references about Jesus’ blood in our redemption, and not just that we are saved by Jesus himself?
6. What makes for a Godly Marriage?

The Difference Between American Presidents and Israel’s Kings
Episode 579 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Can you please give me some scripture references on if someone can or cannot lose their salvation? 2. In 1 Corinthians 8, it talks about the “strong” and the “weak” as groups within the church in Corinth. These groups had differences of opinion over various issues, but Paul specifically encouraged “the strong” group to put the needs of the “weak” above their own. My question is then: why is it so difficult for us to do this? Why can we in the church be so preoccupied with our group’s views on various issues that we forget to love those around us? 3. I have a friend who doesn’t believe in the “universal Church” because the word “ekklesia” means “the gathered ones” and therefore she states that the Church is only a local body. What we call the universal Church, she calls the family of God. Where can I turn to show her that the “family of God” can be called the universal Church? 4. I am wondering what you think about there being similarities between 1 Kings 1, where Adonijah is replacing David as king, and today’s political climate. Is there a parallel?
