Episode 471 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have a dear friend who is a devout Mormon who believes she is a Christian. Now, I’m a Christian, and we were in a conversation the other day and she was talking about “the Prophet.” How do I witness to my friend? She believes in Jesus Christ and talks about how Jesus Christ is her savior, but I know that Mormonism is a cult.  2. What does Isaiah mean when in Isaiah 64:6 he says,  “All our righteous acts are as filthy rags”?  3. Why wasn’t Joseph at Jesus’ crucifixion? Any explanation will be of much help.  4. Why was one of Noah’s sons cursed and not the others?  5. Does God ever tell us that we’re with the wrong person, other than what is written in the Bible? Over a year ago, I walked into a lecture hall and I got the weirdest sense that I was supposed to be with someone I saw in the room. I dismissed the thought immediately. I’m happy with my partner. We are dating not married, and I don’t want things to change. But the feeling kept coming back, so I prayed for wisdom and read the Bible. I then prayed for the feeling to go away. Now, I just feel stressed. I can’t shake the sense that this isn’t the life I’m intended to live, and I’m with the wrong person. I thought this feeling would go away once the semester was over, but it’s been over a year. Does God ever do things like this? Resources Knowing God by J. I.

Episode 308 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I go to a church where people can serve themselves communion. I’m new to this church and I have never been to a church that does this. I did talk to one of the pastors about it and he assured me that it was Biblical, because what mattered was that people were being led by the Spirit to take communion. This still bothers me. Can you tell me what you think about this and provide Biblical support for your view? 2. I was just wondering about prayer. The other day I asked a number of my friends to pray for another friend who is going to have surgery. I realized after I did that that one of my friends is not a Christian, and she actually doesn’t even pray. So, when she replied she just said, “I’ll just hold her close to my heart.” Now I’m wondering, did I goof when I asked her that, or does God honor good thoughts too? 3. What’s the difference between excusing sin and showing grace? 4. Why does God tell Jeremiah that he will not listen when his people call for him? 5. How do we get back to the teachings of the early church?
