Episode 306 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I’m wondering how I should understand Genesis 1-3. I heard that some people think that it is just a myth, and that Adam and Even didn’t really exist but instead the fall was just a symbol of how we all sometimes fail to do good when presented with the choice of evil. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and how we should think of Genesis as Christians. 2. I have been reading a lot of Navy seal books and those guys are really driven. It makes me want to do some great accomplishment which isn’t sinful necessarily. There is a line, I guess. I feel like God is kind of a kill joy and makes me not want to—and his will is that I can’t work at the things I want to do because those are worldly things and selfish and not necessarily glorifying to him, in my head, meaning as I pursue them. 3. The book of John talks about Jesus saying, “ask and it will be given you”. If that’s true, then why do I have so many unanswered prayers? 4. When someone claims to have become a Christian, how do we know that they are genuine in their conversion? 5. What should I do if I’m experiencing a demonic attack?

Episode 364 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. The church I attend uses gluten free crackers and grape juice for the Lord’s Supper. I wonder if that is okay. 2. I recently ran into the infamous verse of Isaiah 45:7 where people often claim is where it says God purposefully created evil (as the King James Version uses the word “evil” where other translations, notably the ESV, use the word calamity). There’s no real context I can see on this statement in surrounding text. What am I supposed to make of this verse? 3. Why does Paul so often begin his letters with “grace and peace”? What does that mean?  4. How should we respond when scandals happen within the church? 5. I’ve heard that the term “Christian” was originally given to believers with a negative connotation attached to it. If this is true, would it be better if we identified ourselves as “followers of Jesus” instead?
