Was Jesus in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve?
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?

If We Found the Lost Letters from Paul, Would it be Right to Add Them to the Bible?
Episode 337 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have a question about 1 Corinthians 5:9. Paul says he wrote to the Corinthians an earlier letter, before the letter of 1 Corinthians. There are other places in Paul’s letters where he seems to allude to other correspondence that has now been lost to time. My question is this: if this correspondence was ever discovered somewhere, and if it could be proven to be from the pen of Paul (assuming such were possible), would we be compelled to add these letters to our Bibles? My question is really about a larger question, I suppose: do we believe something is Scripture merely because an apostle wrote it, or do we believe it can be trusted as Scripture because God has also preserved it for the church to read? 2. I tend to struggle with how people could be 900 years old or Goliath actually 10 feet tall. I don’t know if it’s a translation thing, but I struggle to believe some of it. 3. How do we know which Bible translation is the right one? 4. What did Jesus mean when he said, “you judge according to the flesh, I judge no one”?5. I’ve recently moved to a new city and am having a really hard time finding a new church. How do I know if I’m being too picky? 5. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?
