Episode 781 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Ephesians 2 says that the prophets and apostles were the foundation of the church. If these offices are just for the foundation of the church how does prophecy operate today?
2. I am wondering if we connect with God through the church or within yourself. Do you have to go to church to get that or does it only depend on your personal relationship with God?
3. Since the Bible tells us to submit to our governing authorities, and they’re telling us to get the vaccine, if we don’t get the vaccine are we sinning against God?
4. My daughter has a hard time worshipping on Sunday instead of Saturday since the law of God tells us to keep the sabbath on the 7th day of the week. How should we think about this?
5. Between now and the resurrection, what happens to our bodies when we die?
6. Why does the bible use symbolic numbers in scripture? In Mark 5, Jesus heals a woman who had been sick for 12 years. Then he goes on to raise a 12 year old girl from the dead. These constant numbers used in Scripture make doubts creep into my head about the authenticity of the story.
7. Some pastors call cremation “sub-Christian,” what do you think?

Why Do the Ten Commandments Sound So Negative?
Episode 533 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Why did God choose Jacob over Esau or David over Saul when they were all moral screw-ups? 2. I heard your answer to Jade about there not being any shame at the judgment seat of Christ for believers. I was wondering, what does that mean, then, for our works to be tested, and what we build on Christ will last, but what we build of hay will be burned and our souls will be saved but only as through fire? What does that mean that there is no pain at the judgment of believers before we reign with Christ? 3. What do Paul and Jesus mean when they say that the bread and wine are Christ’s body and blood? Is this metaphorical? 4. Why are the 10 commandments all about telling us what we shouldn’t do? Doesn’t this focus our attention on negative traits instead of what we should be doing for one another and for God?

Are Christians Who Don’t Go to Church Outside of God's Promises?
Episode 299 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Why do Christians still die if we have eternal life? I don’t understand how the promise of John 3:16 fits with Christians dying? If we have eternal life shouldn’t that mean that we live forever, and if we live forever why do we have to first die? 2. How should we understand forgiveness in the Bible? 3. I’m having a hard time understand what Jesus meant that his yoke is easy and his burden light in Matthew 11:28. I don’t consider the Christian life to be easy and I was hoping that you could shed some light on it. 4. It seems we are suffering a generational curse in our family. How do we get out of it if it is true? Any spiritual solution? 5. If you don’t go to church you don’t receive God’s gifts. I have some friends that seem like true believers that don’t really go to church. Are you saying they are not saved?
