Episode 767 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Why don’t protestants make the sign of the cross before praying, and why are crosses in protestant churches bare, without the body of Christ on them?
2. If we are new creations in Christ, should we still refer to ourselves as “sinners”?
3. Why did God make the world?
4. Did Jonah die in the whale and then resurrect like Jesus?
5. Is it ok to pray for God to provide for me financially?
6. I have a question about Philippians 4:19. I’ve heard that verse being used as a promise that God will meet all of our physical needs if we have enough faith in Him. Does God actually promise that somewhere in the Bible? In 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 Paul talks about his sufferings and how he experienced lack of food, water, and clothing and I don’t understand why God allowed that.

We Had Faith, So Why Didn’t God Heal My Brother?
Episode 359 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have a brother in law who is a preacher and he heads up a ministry of healing. He is really into healing words and Scripture. He has gone through a major operation for his heart and he is a little depressed and wonders why he wasn’t healed. I know that the Bible teaches that not everyone is healed. But they say that if you really, truly believe then your prayers will be answered. I’m wondering about it too. I would appreciate any insight. 2. I recently had a conversation with a coworker about how she’s a Christian who believes in purgatory. My understanding of purgatory is that it’s a Catholic belief and not biblical at all. Her argument is that God will provide a resting place before we go to Heaven. I got a little confused, especially remembering the Scripture in Luke where it says we will die one death and then there’s judgement. Would you be able to clarify this for me? 3. What does it mean when Paul speaks about us being, “raised up with Christ”? 4. Is it possible to be angry but no be in sin? 5. Should Christians observe Jewish holidays and festivals like Hanukkah and Passover?
