Episode 365 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Does God reveal himself in other religions or should we only expect God to reveal himself to Christians?2. I recently ran into the infamous verse of Isaiah 45:7 where people often claim is where it says God purposefully created evil (as the King James Version uses the word “evil” where other translations, notably the ESV, use the word calamity). There’s no real context I can see on this statement in surrounding text. What am I supposed to make of this verse?
2. Thank you Dr. Horton and Pastor Sanchez for your work to answer core questions about the faith. I’m also thankful for your response to more difficult or sensitive questions of praying. In the Magnificat, Mary praises God and says, “…all generations will call me blessed.” How are we to think about this?
3. Why don’t we see many miracles in the church today?
4. Is introspection a good thing for Christians to practice?
5. Psalm 8 says that man are, “made a little lower than the angels”. How does that fit with man’s sinfulness?
6. What does it mean in John 17 when Jesus says that eternal life is to know him and the Father?

How Do We Witness to People Whose Heart Is Hardened Toward God?
Episode 334 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What is your stance on lordship salvation? 2. I have a friend whose grandfather is dying. He’s not a Christian, and every time we speak with him about Christ and the afterlife, he says he’s too logical to believe things like that. We have been praying that the Holy Spirit would work in his life and know that salvation does not come through anything we say or do. But what other things can we use to work with someone who seems to have a heart that is hardened toward God? 3. 1 Peter talks about us being, “guarded through faith for salvation ready to be revealed at the last time”. Does this mean that we aren’t actually saved yet? 4. Is James Chapter 5 requiring me to confess my sins to other believers? 5. Do you have any advice for someone who is trying to get serious about their faith? 6. Is Isaiah 43:10 teaching that all Christians should evangelize?
