Episode 791 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Did God command genocide in the Old Testament?
2. My brother-in-law says he believes it’s unfair that all the people who died before Jesus was born didn’t have a chance for salvation. I know there are old testament people who are in heaven but I don’t know how to answer him.
3. Is Jesus the true passover lamb?
4. What does 1 Corinthians 7:39 mean when it talks about remarriage?
5. Is the makeup of man a dualism of body and soul? Or are the body and soul one and the same? I ask this question because I would like to know how best to help my dad who has various mental illnesses diagnosed by his doctor (he has PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD). Should my dad take just take medication or does he need to repent, or both? What is the relationship between his body or mind and his spiritual side?
6. What happens to the souls of unbelievers immediately after death?

How Should We Understand Our Ongoing Struggles With Sin?
Episode 218 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. How should we understand places where Jesus calls us to take up our cross? How does this relate to salvation being a free gift? 2. My father died and I don’t believe he repented of his sins and was “born again.” My father was a good man and believed in Jesus but I really don’t know if this was a belief in his heart or his head. Will he be subject to judgment? 3. How should we understand ongoing struggles with sin? No matter how hard I try I don’t achieve any noticeable victory? 4. In another episode you talked about doubts as not being sinful. This is completely different from what I heard growing up. Can you explain this more? 5. What does the Bible mean when it describes our life as hidden with Christ in God and raised up with Christ? 6. What does it mean that the wicked perish? I know it’s taught that the wicked burn in hell, but in John 3:16how can we translate that into ‘burn in hell forever,’ instead of being separated from God forever?

How Do I Have a Better Prayer Life?
Episode 258 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What do you think can really make the difference between continual failure and gaining victory over sin? 2. What is your view on people who are narcissistic? How do you deal with them, especially if they are a family member or your husband? 3. I’m struggling with my prayer life. I don’t really pray on any sort of regular basis and I’m thinking maybe it would be good to start writing out my prayers in a prayer journal. I have a friend who does this, and even though I’m worried about formalism, I think that this might at least help me to start praying. What do you think? 4. We have a church that is really into choruses. My family and I are more into hymns and classical songs. We do not feel worshipful when we have to sing the same phrase over and over. How do we approach people to try to get through what you are talking about, the meat of the music, the core of the doctrine, what psalms and hymns profess?
