Episode 602 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. CoreChristianity.com
1. Fear is very real these days and how do we as Christians, believers in Christ, keep our faith in these uncertain times. How can we connect our faith to very real and palpable fear that we feel in the world around us?
2. What is the “gospel of the kingdom” that Jesus preached in Matthew 4:23? It sounds as if it is something different from the common use of the phrase “the gospel” or “the gospel of Jesus Christ” as it is used today.
3. I am scared to death that I have committed the unforgivable sin. I heard one explanation of this saying that the unforgivable sin is simply denying Christ and then I heard that it is saying the same things that the religious leaders said about Jesus. Can you help clarify this for me?
4. I love and appreciate Core Christianity, thank you both for all that you do. My question is: Is it true that Christmas is rooted in a pagan holiday? And if we want to celebrate the incarnation, then why does our celebration often look like the world’s celebration of Christmas?

What Makes for a Godly Marriage?
Episode 311 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have a question about Romans 11. In whom are what are the gentiles and Israel grafted into? And what is the nature of this engrafting since it seems Paul says that parts of Israel have been broken off and he warns the gentiles that they can be broken off? And lastly, what is the significance of this for the Christians life? 2. I’ve been taught my whole life that after the cross and resurrection, unbelievers are sitting in a prison with an open door and all they have to do is just walk out. This sounds a lot like universalism but am assured by those teaching it that is not because those that do not walk out are choosing to stay. Can you explain this idea? 3. What does it mean to “watch and pray” in the book of Matthew? 4. In Romans 9, Paul says he wished he could be accursed for the sake of his Jewish brothers. Is he saying this because he wants us to have a love for the Jewish people? 5. Why are there so many references about Jesus’ blood in our redemption, and not just that we are saved by Jesus himself? 6. What makes for a Godly Marriage?
