Episode 489 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I heard that you use the NIV Bible. Someone told me that the NIV Bible is missing verses throughout it. Is this true? 2. In light of Matthew 4:17, I wonder if there is a need to repent every day. And sometimes I wonder about salvation and if you can lose it if you sin too many times. 3. I’ve been in seminary now for 2 years, feel called to ministry, and I’m an intern at my church. However, I still struggle with lust and pornography. I delved into porn at a very young age, before I was a Christian, and I’m still working through the damage it caused to this day. I have begged God to take it away, and it has become less over time, but still, if I am called into the ministry, I’m supposed to not even have a hint of sexual immorality in my life. Do I have to have 100% total victory over my inclinations before I can be a minister of the word? Why won’t God totally change my heart and take it away? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked him to take it away. Any help would be appreciated! 4. If a person did something wrong, by that I mean break the law, and then later got saved, but before they were able to be accountable to the law on a worldly level, they died. Would they still be separated from the Lord if they could not make it right according to human law?

Episode 240 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Can God save people who have never heard the gospel but are obedient to the light that they have received either through God revealing himself in nature or another religion? 2. In John 3, what does Jesus mean when he talks about the wind related to the Spirit and being born again? 3. In the beginning, Jesus was with Adam and Eve and then he was born as a child. That confuses me right there. 4. Should Christians seek to be tolerant? I know that there is a difference between being respectful and capitulating to the culture and some people are against the idea of tolerance. What do you think? 5. Jesus tells us that we must be born again? Can you get this little by little or is it like a real birth that happens all at once? 6. Genesis 1:26 says that Adam was to “have dominion over creation.” Is this still true today?

Episode 584 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. I have a couple of friends who say that Jesus has come to them and spoken to them in their dreams. Most recently, they said that Jesus came to them and said UFO’s were real. I kind of cringe any time I hear that. I wanted to know, what are your thoughts on Jesus coming to people in their dreams? 2. As an introvert, I’ve actually enjoyed being at home more these days. I actually worry about when life goes back to normal because I don’t want to lose the joy and contentment I’ve been experiencing. Is this wrong? 3. Is thinking about our Triune God as an egg Modalism? The egg, egg white, and shell are three separate things but still one egg, like how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three separate things but all God. Is this a valid way of thinking or not? 4.  I asked Jesus Christ to be my savior a while back, but I can’t stop drinking, smoking, and cussing. I’ve tried everything. What can I do?
