Episode 201 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Philippians 4 says that we should always rejoice in the Lord. How do we do this? What advice do you have for believers who struggle to rejoice?
2. What exactly did Paul mean, or what exactly happened in 1st Corinthians 5:5, when he sent the sinful brother to Satan for the destruction of his flesh?
3. My question is one that perhaps a number of us that were born-again later in life have. Because we walked according to the ways of the world (Eph 2) for a long period of time, many of us have suffered the consequences of our own disobedience. We know that His promises are for us, so in Romans 8:28 we may see through that promise how He used our disobedience to humble us, and call us out of the world, and yet we may question why God did not call us out sooner as those who were raised in Christian homes and converted at a young age. We know that being raised in a Christian home is a great privilege. Not that it converts anyone necessarily but still a privilege. So I struggle with the question…. does God love me less, that He left me so long in unbelief?
4. I have heard you say that Satan can’t place thoughts in our minds and that when we are confronted with Satan or attacked we should use God’s word. What does it really mean to come in contact with Satan?

What Will Our Spiritual Bodies Be Like in Heaven?
Episode 395 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. In 1 Corinthians 15 it speaks of a spiritual body that we will receive in heaven. I’m confused about this because the Bible doesn’t seem to say much about it. Can you shed some light on what our spiritual bodies will be like and how that will be different from the physical body we now have? 2. How do you understand the story of Judah and Tamar? What are we supposed to learn from this? 3. If I’m depressed and have anxiety am I a bad Christian? 4. Can you speak to the idea that God helps those who help themselves? There are a lot of Christians that believe that we just need to sit around and wait for God to do everything. When the Bible gives us a very different picture.

If We Found the Lost Letters from Paul, Would it be Right to Add Them to the Bible?
Episode 337 | 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 1 Corinthians 5:9. Paul says he wrote to the Corinthians an earlier letter, before the letter of 1 Corinthians. There are other places in Paul’s letters where he seems to allude to other correspondence that has now been lost to time. My question is this: if this correspondence was ever discovered somewhere, and if it could be proven to be from the pen of Paul (assuming such were possible), would we be compelled to add these letters to our Bibles? My question is really about a larger question, I suppose: do we believe something is Scripture merely because an apostle wrote it, or do we believe it can be trusted as Scripture because God has also preserved it for the church to read? 2. I tend to struggle with how people could be 900 years old or Goliath actually 10 feet tall. I don’t know if it’s a translation thing, but I struggle to believe some of it. 3. How do we know which Bible translation is the right one? 4. What did Jesus mean when he said, “you judge according to the flesh, I judge no one”?5. I’ve recently moved to a new city and am having a really hard time finding a new church. How do I know if I’m being too picky? 5. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?
