Is Alcoholism a Generational Curse?
Episode 424 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What do you do with Jesus’ call to take up our cross? It seems to me that Jesus is saying that a person should be willing to die for their faith. How would you encourage someone like me that still struggles with the same sins? I don’t feel like I can honestly say that I would be willing to take up my cross because I can’t even deal with the same sins I keep going back to. 2. Jesus taught that we should forgive a brother 70 times 7. But in the parable of the sower he also taught that people could fall away, and Hebrews 6 says that a person who has fallen away can’t come back because that would be the same as crucifying Christ twice. I need some clarification of this because I am one of those backsliders that failed the temptation and if I can’t repent and come back to the Lord, I’m in a heck of a mess. 3. I have a friend who believes in soul sleep I have tried to take him to certain passages like Philippians 1 and 2 Corinthians 4 and 5 but he keep telling me that these are talking about the resurrection and not the time between death and resurrection. I was wondering what your thoughts are on that. 4. How should I rightly understand the Sermon on The Mount? 5. I hear you talk about generational curses and how those don’t exist anymore I was just curious if there is a distinction for propensity for certain sins over a curse? For example, can a person have propensity for alcoholism that is maybe handed down even though it’s not a curse?

What Does it Mean To Be Pro-Life?
Episode 643 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Jesus proclaimed that he was the Son of God, and yet in Mark 1:25, Jesus rebuked the demons and told them not to say who he was. Why did he do that? 2. What does it mean to be saved and what does that look like? 3. Doesn’t God require us to obey him rather than man? I know Romans 13 says we should obey the governing authorities, but there seems to be a double-standard enforced by the government regarding which things can be open amidst the pandemic and which cannot. What should the church do? 4. I am a registered nurse and cannot imagine how men can tell women what to do with their bodies. I am not for abortion but I would never foist my beliefs onto others. There are lots of elderly people being mistreated in the nursing homes, why don’t “pro-lifers” care about them? 5. I take communion at my home every day. Am I “heaping judgment” upon myself? 6. I am fifty-eight and have never been married. Should I seek out a spouse or should I just wait for God to answer my prayers?
