Should Race Cease to Exist in the Body of Christ?
Episode 396 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What is implied by calling the church the body of Christ given that Christ’s physical body has ascended into heaven? 2. Thank you so much for his show. I have a question about Paul’s comments in 1 Corinthians 11:29. When Paul tells his readers they need to discern the body when they take the Lord’s supper, I’ve heard some say this means before I can take communion, I first have to be able to understand the nature of Christ’s presence in the bread and wine. But it doesn’t seem like Paul is talking about that much in this chapter. His primary concern seems to be how we discern the community of the Church as his unified body. He’s upset about divisiveness in the church fueled by selfishness, and because the Corinthians are failing to do this as they sit at the Lord’s Table, they are eating and drinking judgement on themselves. What do you think it means to discern the body? 3. Where are Heaven and hell in your understanding? Because of science we know that hell isn’t under our feet and heaven above our heads, so I’m not sure how to understand Heaven and hell in the Bible. 4. In 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession…” does this mean our own race and nationalities are now erased in a sense?

Should We Concern Ourselves With What's Going on in American Culture?
Episode 232 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Should we as Christians concern ourselves with whats going on in American culture? 2. How do you know if a church is biblical? Should I look mainly at the preaching? How important is the worship? 3. How do you understand John 6:44 where Jesus says, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.”? Do you think God draws everyone? And if so, why doesn’t everyone come to faith? 4. Should Christians be sending their kids to public schools when it seems like the foundation and worldview they operate from is secular humanism? 5. In Ephesians 4, Paul speaks again about Christ being the head of his body, the church. Is this just a metaphor?
