Episode 198 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. I grew up hearing that God’s church is supposed to be holy, but in our culture today, the church doesn’t look holy and it seems to have fallen for much of the same controversies that I see in the world. What does the Bible have to say about this?
2. What do you think about listening to non-Christian music?
3. Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit something that happens sometime after becoming a believer?
4. How do we know that the 66 books in the Old and New Testament are the right books? Weren’t the choice of those books politically motivated?
5. How can I discern the difference between a good choice and God’s perfect will for my life?

Is Jesus or the Bible the Word of God?
Episode 610 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. CoreChristianity.com Show Notes 1. I have heard a pastor say that he has never once had someone come to him and repent of being greedy, even though Jesus talks about greed more than any other sin. My question is then, has anyone ever confessed to you that they struggle with greed, and if not, what do you think about this? 2. In Mark 13:30, Jesus says, “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” How do we correctly interpret this passage? It seems to say all of those things have already happened since that “generation” has already passed away. Or, who is this “generation” referring to? 3. Please explain what Jeremiah 48:10 means, “Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed” This is very confusing to me—why do the books of the prophets often speak in these dark and confusing ways? 4. What is the word of God, Jesus, the spirit behind the word, the bible itself? And do pastors quote the bible, and instead of saying, “God says this,” they say, “Paul says this,” etc. Today’s Offer How to Read Your Bible Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
