Episode 385 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Why did Jesus’ ministry focus on the Jews? Why did he not go out to the gentiles if the gospel is for all people?
2. Hello, I want to thank you for your wonderful shows which have been so helpful to me in understanding the scriptures, could you explain what is meant in Leviticus 27:29 – did the LORD require human sacrifice?
3. I’m really confused when Paul says that no one seeks God in Romans 3 because we are the ones who have to have faith and seek God. Isn’t seeking God required to be saved? Is it that Paul isn’t being literal?
4. Certain Scriptures that we read we tend to personalize them such as Jeremiah 29:11. Now I love that verse and like to think about that verse in terms of my own life. However, that was said to specific people. And God was making a promise to that group of people. Now is it safe for me to take that verse out of its context and apply it to my own life?

How On Earth Was the Bible Composed and Compiled?
Episode 527 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Sometimes I feel like the most inspirational verses in the Bible actually leave me feeling hopeless. Like 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I’m not always happy, I don’t always pray, and I often forget to be thankful. If this is God’s will for me, why do I have such a hard time living it out? 2. I heard a TV pastor talk about the bible verse, “God is no respecter of persons.” He went on to say that this meant that God does not respect people, only Jesus. Is this correct? I know God loves people, perhaps everyone, but does he respect them? 3. I know the Bible talks about Scripture being God-breathed, but who was the first person that started writing the Bible, and how has everything been compiled into one book? 4. How can I reach out, on a spiritual level, to a friend and fellow Christian who has fallen away to drugs and alcohol and has seemingly lost his love for the Lord?
