Episode 422 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. What do you think of the idea that the sons of God in Genesis 6 are angels in light of Hebrews? Isn’t it more coherent to think of them as descendants of Seth?
2. You guys recently answered a question of mine so I don’t know if I’m hogging the airtime, but here’s my question: This COVID-19 virus started with the Chinese eating bats in Wuhan, China. How does that fit I with what the Lord Jesus told Peter in Acts 10:9–16, that all animals are clean to eat? Thanks! Love you both brothers!”
3. I’m from the UK and listen regularly to your podcast on Spotify. Thank you for your insight and help to understand the Scriptures. In this time of fear and anxiety as the coronavirus continues to ravage so many countries, what can Christians take from Psalm 91, will we be spared from this ‘plague’? I am a frontline worker in the health service. Thank you for your thoughts.
4. I was talking to one of my good brothers and we were talking about the Hebrews 6:4–6 passage. And I wanted to get your take on it. Are we able to lose our salvation?

How Will I Make It To Heaven When I Keep Sinning?
Episode 537 | 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 will Christ be returning? In how many years? 4. I accepted Jesus many years ago, but I still sin. How will I make it to heaven when I still sin? I do not always perfectly obey. I am still sinful. 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?

Does the Bible Teach that Heaven Will Ultimately Be Destroyed?
Episode 277 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I’m confused about the unpardonable sin. How does it fit with Jesus saying that whoever comes to me, I will not cast out? It seems like the gospel is offered to everyone without exception but if you commit the unpardonable sin, where does that leave you? 2. Should we think of Jesus’ ministry of miracles and healings as just proving that he was God? Or does Jesus’ ministry have a greater meaning somehow connected to his death? 3. My question is dealing with 1 Peter 1:17. It makes me not want to pray. Can you give me some help and guidance? 4. I’m confused about the end times. Does 2 Peter 3:10 teach that heaven will be burned up and destroyed?
