Episode 295 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. It seems like the Bible has a progressive revelation about the afterlife. It seems like there is more in the New Testament. At what point did people of God begin to give a fuller picture of heaven, hell, intermediate state, and resurrection?
2. What are your thoughts on homosexuality?
3. How do you understand Matthew 7:14, “Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and few there be who find it.” Does this mean only a few people will be saved?

Have the Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit Ceased?
Episode 578 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. When can I be a witness for Jesus and evangelize, do I have to wait until the Spirit descends on me and anoints me? 2. What does the Bible say about fasting? Is it just about giving up food for awhile to draw closer to God? Is it something we can do to unlock some form of holy power like the apostles did in the New Testament? I hear about it on Instagram a good bit but I just don’t fully understand it. 3. Me and my friend were talking about if miraculous signs, wonders, and spiritual gifts have ceased. He said “there’s no way a person can read through the entire New Testament and come to that conclusion.” So, is there a way? 4. I have become more conscious of trying not to shame and alienate others for their faults, especially in this contentious year, but I have gotten pushback by others saying that no matter how kind I am my belief that we are all inherently sinners means that I am teaching others to hate themselves, especially those who have experienced abuse or trauma who already struggle with self-hatred and feeling ashamed. How can I answer these responses and tell people that even though they are sinners that God loves them? Today’s Offer Is God Great and Good?
