Episode 333 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. How is God’s justice grounded in his character? 2. I have never understood the Bible when it refers to God as jealous. When I think of jealousy, it sounds sinful and inconsistent with God. 3. Sometimes people’s biggest problem with hell is that they think that God’s judgment is arbitrary? How do you explain this? 4. How does God’s mercy and grace make sense in light of the cross? Why does the cross require understanding that God is both merciful and just? 5. In John 17 Jesus says, “And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” Does eternal life refer to being saved? And how does that relate to knowing God?

Episode 439 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1.  Should Christians circumcise their boys? My wife and I decided not to circumcise our two boys but most of our friends with boys did circumcise, mainly because their parents had, and they wanted their sons to look the same. That wasn’t a good enough reason for me. I know that circumcision is no longer required under the new covenant, but why do so many Christians, at least in America, still do it when there aren’t really any medical or hygienic reasons to do it? How should we think about this?   2. What proof is there that Jesus rose from the dead beyond the testimony of his disciples? 3. 1 Corinthians 5:11 tells us not to eat with those living in sin. How should we treat someone who has fallen from the faith and is living in sin, adultery for example? 4. I have been talking to other Christians. They keep on saying, if God created everything, then who created God? I keep telling them that God was always there. How can I get through to these Christians? 5. If the Exodus really happened, why haven’t writings been found for the enslavement and exodus of millions of Hebrews within the Egyptian archaeological record? 6. Does God give different preachers different emphases in their ministries?  Resources Knowing God by J.
