Episode 489 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I heard that you use the NIV Bible. Someone told me that the NIV Bible is missing verses throughout it. Is this true? 2. In light of Matthew 4:17, I wonder if there is a need to repent every day. And sometimes I wonder about salvation and if you can lose it if you sin too many times. 3. I’ve been in seminary now for 2 years, feel called to ministry, and I’m an intern at my church. However, I still struggle with lust and pornography. I delved into porn at a very young age, before I was a Christian, and I’m still working through the damage it caused to this day. I have begged God to take it away, and it has become less over time, but still, if I am called into the ministry, I’m supposed to not even have a hint of sexual immorality in my life. Do I have to have 100% total victory over my inclinations before I can be a minister of the word? Why won’t God totally change my heart and take it away? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked him to take it away. Any help would be appreciated! 4. If a person did something wrong, by that I mean break the law, and then later got saved, but before they were able to be accountable to the law on a worldly level, they died. Would they still be separated from the Lord if they could not make it right according to human law?

Episode 223 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Why do the Prophets in the Old Testament talk so much about judgment instead of focusing on the love of God like Paul and Jesus? 2. I am working for a Christian retreat center that schedules events on Sunday, which requires myself and other employees to miss attending church. What should I do? 3. In 1 Corinthians 15:5-8, Paul uses the language of optical, visible, sight when he writes about Jesus’ appearance. Is this correct? 4. In 1 Corinthians 12:21–26 where it talks about the diversity of gifts, Paul says that the weaker parts of the body are indispensable. Is being a weaker part of the body tied to your spiritual gift or is it more about spiritual maturity? 5. If God created the world good, how is there evil at all? 6. How do you think that we can keep love the focus when studying the Bible so that we don’t get too caught up in pointless debates?
