Episode 290 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. I heard you talk about grace and about laws too. I’m wondering why you both didn’t talk about them in the same way. One of you landed more on grace. One of you landed on, “it’s the law too.”
2. My best friend has been one of the strongest Christians I’ve known for the past decade. She has really been through some extremely tough times and has always remained faithful. That is until now. She doesn’t curse God or anything, but she’s decided that his guidelines will no longer run her life. When I spoke with her about all of this, she had this to say: “I know Jesus promises trials for his church, I know it rains on the just and the unjust alike and I’ve accepted that long ago. But I wasn’t prepared for him to not be with me while I was in the thick of it. In the hardest season of my life, I cried out to him and prayed faithfully for what seemed like forever, and he had nothing to say in return. I feel completely abandoned and I’m done.” How do I help my friend?
3. Why are ministers the only people allowed to administer communion in certain churches?
4. How does the soul get out of the body? It doesn’t really say anything about it in the Bible. I was just wondering if you can explain that to me.

Is It Okay For Christians to Date Non-Christians?
Episode 183 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. On an episode you said that prayer is just talking to God, but I know that you also think written prayers are a good thing. Can you explain how you hold these together? 2. Is it okay for Christians to date non-Christians? What about a person who is open to coming to church? 3. In a few places Jesus teaches that Christians should expect to suffer persecution. In your understanding how does that make sense of most of us in America who hardly seem to suffer any real persecution for their faith? 4. Should we teach our children to pray to God when they haven’t yet professed faith? Or should we wait until we are confident that they are really Christians? 5. What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? What am I supposed to experience?
