Episode 883 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. I am a trustee at my church and the leaders here are encouraging me to get ordained, but that idea makes me uncomfortable. What should I do?
2. I have always felt that I have had a strong walk with God since childhood, but recently I find myself struggling with ideas of eternal judgment and even some of the ways doctrines and spiritual things are put so bluntly. Instead of receiving God’s word without question I find myself having to examine it, which makes me think God may see this as a lack of faith. Can you help me with this?
3. What did Jesus do between age 12 and 30?
4. Does the New Testament negate the Old Testament?
5. Our grandson is Muslim and he is coming to live with my husband and I. How do we be hospitable while not being ashamed of Jesus’s name?

Some people think that the greatest challenge facing the church is pluralism. They seem to worry about America changing and moving away from being a Christian nation. Should we be concerned? 2.

Is Jesus or the Bible the Word of God?
Episode 610 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. CoreChristianity.com Show Notes 1. I have heard a pastor say that he has never once had someone come to him and repent of being greedy, even though Jesus talks about greed more than any other sin. My question is then, has anyone ever confessed to you that they struggle with greed, and if not, what do you think about this? 2. In Mark 13:30, Jesus says, “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” How do we correctly interpret this passage? It seems to say all of those things have already happened since that “generation” has already passed away. Or, who is this “generation” referring to? 3. Please explain what Jeremiah 48:10 means, “Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed” This is very confusing to me—why do the books of the prophets often speak in these dark and confusing ways? 4. What is the word of God, Jesus, the spirit behind the word, the bible itself? And do pastors quote the bible, and instead of saying, “God says this,” they say, “Paul says this,” etc. Today’s Offer How to Read Your Bible Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.

Do All Infants Who Die Go to Heaven?
Episode 199 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Some believe that if you worship on any other day than Saturday that we will not be holding true to God’s commandments. How are we supposed to interpret the Sabbath? 2. I have been asked to consider being an elder in my church. Titus 1:6 lists the qualifications of elders. We have 4 children who all made profession of faith, were baptized and partook of communion, but they are in their early 20s now and sadly only one is following Jesus. Am I disqualified to be an elder? 3. Do all infants who die or aborted babies go to heaven? 4. I was baptized as a child and was an atheist for many years and I was wondering if I need to be baptized again?
