Episode 616 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Why does Paul say that those who have faith are children of Abraham when Hebrews says Jesus mediates a better covenant than the old one? These seem to me like two opposing attitudes toward the Old Testament. How can I make sense of this? 2. I am a believer, and I’m wondering whether I should have a traditional burial or if I can get cremated when I die? Cremation is much cheaper than a traditional burial,  but I know someday I will be resurrected. Will God be angry at me for taking the cheaper option financially? I don’t have an answer when I pray. 3. Approximately when do you think Christ will return? 4. I accepted Jesus many years ago, but I still sin. How will I make it to heaven when I still sin? What if I am not close enough to God? What if I don’t read my Bible and pray enough? Or have enough good works?  5. Is the Kingdom of God something that exists today, or is it something that we are waiting for in the future?

One of the things you have stressed is that the psalms teach us about Jesus, that the Psalms are messianic. Can you explain that? 4. One of the most famous Psalms about Jesus is Psalm 22. What does this Psalm teach us about Jesus?
