Is the Law of God and the Law of Moses the Same Thing?
Episode 241 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Does grace mean that we have to forgive everyone even if they sin against us in the same way over and over? At what point do we say that a person needs to repent? 2. Is the law of God and the law of Moses the same thing? Or are these unique? Is there a difference in the two or are they synonymous? 3. Why did God reject Saul as Israel’s king and accept David when David turned out to be almost as bad morally? Was the difference David’s heart and is that why God accepts some of us today and will reject others in the judgment? 4. If I was counting days between good Friday and resurrection Sunday, I’m only counting 2 days instead of 3. Am I missing something here about how Jews would have counted days or am I overthinking this here? 5. Does the Old Covenant offer a different way of salvation from the New Covenant? Are Jews today supposed to keep the Old Covenant while Christians are to keep the New Covenant? 6. The Old Testament says no one has ever seen God at any time. How can it also be true that to have seen Jesus is to see the Father? I’m struggling with apologetically explaining how both can be true.

Have I Truly Repented If I Keep Sinning?
Episode 589 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. I am concerned about my repentance and whether it is genuine repentance. I have attended church all my life, but only truly understood the gospel and received Christ last year. I know I should hate sin, but there are many instances when I find myself loving the sin that I struggle with. Often, I just instinctively run to my sin, especially the ones I have been committing most of my life. Sometimes I also wonder to myself, “If I am truly born again, would I be committing so much sin?” 2. I’m reading through the Bible this year and right now in the Books of the Chronicles and am once again struck with all the names that are recorded. Knowing that all Scripture is God-breathed and edifying, what can I can take away from these lists of names as I read them? 3. Just how important is baptism? Must it be done immediately after repentance? Do I have to be baptized in order to be saved? 4. If repentance is necessary for Christians, and repentance means to turn from sin, then does that make repentance a work that is necessary for our salvation? If so, how does this agree with the claim that we are saved by free grace through the body and blood of Christ? How do we know if we are truly repentant if we continue to commit the same sins?
