Episode 166 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Every time I attempt to serve, something happens to inhibit it. Is it possible that God could be saying “hey, just sit there and warm that bench”?
2. The incident with Rehab lying is wrong even with her saving the spies, but what would have been the correct way to respond for a Christian?
3. Is predestination by grace the same as the “once saved, always saved” teaching?
4. Is the law only accusatory ultimately leading me to Christ or is the law also a guide in the Christian life?

My Best Friend Has Left the Faith, What Can I Do to Help?
Episode 290 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 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.

How Can Jesus Belong to the Royal Line of David if Mary Did Not?
Episode 479 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have heard some Christians claim that Acts 16:6 proves that God does not want to save everybody since Paul was forbidden to speak in Asia. Yet Paul and those with him were not the only evangelists. Sometimes it seems like the church in the US acts like the rest of the world doesn’t exist, and I’m wondering if this tendency can be traced even to how we read the Bible? 2. How can Stephen call the Jews stiff-necked people if it is God that changed his heart? 3. I know someone who is believing and accepting as truth this book entitled “The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross.” I wonder if you could steer me in a good direction in order to properly address this book and its contents with knowledge and grace. 4. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the promised seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, to whom belongs the everlasting throne promised to David. A lot of work went into preserving that seed, but then in Matthew 1, we are told that Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, even though it was Joseph who was connected to the royal line of David.
