Episode 296 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have a brother who is an atheist. He saw this pastor on television that Adam being 6,000 years old. But there is archeological evidence that some Stonehenge in Turkey is something is over 10,000 years old. I don’t know how to answer this. 2. I’m so confused on hearing the Holy Spirit or feeling his leading. when people say ask the holy spirit to help you, I don’t understand because to me, I don’t know when its him. Am I focusing too much on it or should I just not worry about it? 3. Me and my wife are parents of two young children, and we live in a neighborhood with a few gay couples. We’re navigating how to share the love of Christ with them, but also trying not to take sin lightly. If we invite this gay couple over for dinner, do we send the message to our kids that we condone this kind of lifestyle, even if we say otherwise? Do you have suggestions on how to balance loving our neighbors and teaching our children about the seriousness of sin and depravity in this context? 4. I have been reading Judges 11, the judge Jephthah. He promised to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house. It looks like he scarified his daughter to God. I would appreciate clarification on that.

Episode 532 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. I have a question on 1 Peter 4:6 which says “For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.” As far as I understand, there is no opportunity for salvation once people died. but in the passage above, what does that mean “gospel was preached to those who are even dead”? 2. Do you think it is right for the church to pay pastors? Wouldn’t it be better for pastors to earn their living at a job rather than asking other people to support them? Isn’t this just using God’s name to guilt people and take advantage of them?  3. Why do some Bibles have more books in them than other ones? Who decided that those other books, the Apocrypha, shouldn’t be in some Bibles?  4. What makes the prosperity gospel so bad? Why wouldn’t I want God’s blessings in my life? 5. I was driving to Las Vegas last weekend and saw a couple of billboards that Jesus saves, repent, the end is coming, etc. Is this really an effective way to witness?  Resources The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World by Michael Horton Woman Designs Sturdy Cardboard Beds For Overrun Hospitals in India – And Her Proud Family Sells Them At Cost Offers Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
