Episode 212 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. There is this famous quote that we should preach the gospel always and if necessary use words to point out that Christian’s lives should so demonstrate love, that people would almost be able to see something of the gospel in how we live. Do you think this is helpful advice? 2. How can I better minister to other believers? Can you guys help me increase my potential in this? 3. When Paul talks about putting on the full armor of God in Ephesians 6, do you think he is drawing on the imagery of a Roman soldier or OT passages? 4. What does the Bible say about hunting wild game? 5. As I was reading in Numbers 28-29 where the Lord is laying out offerings for special days and feasts, I noticed for those that call for no work it is translated “no ordinary work” except for the day of atonement where the Lord says “You shall do no work”. Is there a difference between no work and no ordinary work? 6. Do you believe Satan can still go before God and accuse believers as he did with Job? It seems a ridiculous waste of time to bring charges to one who Satan knows will be acquitted.

Episode 406 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Why do so many churches teach that hell is a place of eternal torment when it says in the New Testament that only believers will put on immortality and in the Old Testament it teaches that the wicked will be destroyed and the New testament it teaches that death is the punishment for sin, for example in John 3:16. Johns very clear about the symbolism of the lake of fire being the second death. I don’t understand why so many mainstream churches teach this place of eternal torment. It doesn’t make any sense when people say God is a God of justice. This is very serious to me because it seems like blaspheme against God to say that he is wicked and like Satan and to go against Scripture. 2. I have friends who have struggled to find a church because they did not feel like there was genuine community in most churches. In your opinion what is Biblical community? 3. I’m the only Christian in my family and I’m always getting into arguments because my family thinks I’m crazy and can’t understand why I have “given up on reason and embraced religion.” I would like to be able to tell them that I haven’t abandoned reason but when I try, they ask me to prove the Bible is true. Can you help me out in this area? 4. When was the blessed mother filled with the Holy Spirit? I read in the Bible that when they took Jesus to Jerusalem to celebrate the was 12 years old. They left and thought he was with them and he wasn’t. They went back to find him and when they did, he told her didn’t you know I would be about my father’s business. At this point it seems to me that she wasn’t filled with the Holy Spirit. I believe she was filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 1 where all the apostles and Mary was there also and filled with the Holy Spirit.  Resources Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian in Community by Dietrich Bonhoeffer Why Should I Believe that Jesus Rose from the Dead? by Dr. Michael Horton The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between by Gregory Koukl Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
