Episode 365 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Does God reveal himself in other religions or should we only expect God to reveal himself to Christians?2. I recently ran into the infamous verse of Isaiah 45:7 where people often claim is where it says God purposefully created evil (as the King James Version uses the word “evil” where other translations, notably the ESV, use the word calamity). There’s no real context I can see on this statement in surrounding text. What am I supposed to make of this verse? 2. Thank you Dr. Horton and Pastor Sanchez for your work to answer core questions about the faith. I’m also thankful for your response to more difficult or sensitive questions of praying. In the Magnificat, Mary praises God and says, “…all generations will call me blessed.” How are we to think about this? 3. Why don’t we see many miracles in the church today? 4. Is introspection a good thing for Christians to practice? 5. Psalm 8 says that man are, “made a little lower than the angels”. How does that fit with man’s sinfulness? 6. What does it mean in John 17 when Jesus says that eternal life is to know him and the Father?

Episode 257 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What do you think about the ideas that the church has been taken captive to outrage culture? It seems like maybe there is a place for righteous anger. What do you think? 2. What’s the difference between a Major Prophet and a Minor Prophet? 3. In Jude it says, “And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.” Is the authorial intent limited to the victims of the false teachers? 4. Mark 14 says that Jesus’ soul was sorrowful even to the point of death while he was in the garden of Gethsemane and then later on the cross it seems like Jesus really did experience suffering and pain.  And I know that Isaiah 53 describes Jesus as the suffering servant, but what I’m struggling to understand is how this fits with Jesus being God?
