Episode 325 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. There are a lot of objections to Christianity concerning the doctrine of hell. Is hell eternal like heaven and why would people who don’t want to accept Christ go to eternal hell? I know what the Bible says, but how would you address this if someone asks you? I know that God doesn’t want anyone to go there but sometimes that doesn’t suffice as an answer to them. What do you guys think? 2. Should women teach in the church and in what capacity if so. I feel like I had a good understanding of this yet as of late am being questioned about this continually. 3. How was the Bible canonized? 4. Is it necessary for a Christian to believe that all the miracles in the Bible actually happened? 5. Why does Jesus seem to be so extreme in Matthew 5:29 when he suggests that we should tear out our own eye? 6. What should Christians be expecting living in the End Times?

Episode 461 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Jesus is often called the son of David in the New Testament. However, his genealogy given in Matthew is connected to Joseph, his adopted father. Luke’s genealogy differs, but he also traces Jesus’ lineage through Joseph. How is Jesus the son of David, and thus the Messiah, if he is only related to David through Joseph, who wasn’t his real father? This has caused a lot of doubt for me.  2. My little niece asked, “Who made God? And who is the Holy Spirit?”  3. My question is in reference to the role of the Holy Spirit today versus in the Old Testament, specifically in the lives of believers. I know that we are sealed with the Spirit at conversion when we repent and put our faith in Jesus. And I know that Old Testament Jews were saved by faith in the same way we are today. But when I look at my life of sanctification and how God has delivered me from some very egregious sin patterns, it makes me wonder how Old Testament Jews would fight sin in their life. My understanding is that the Holy Spirit would indwell only select individuals and only temporarily during the time of the Old Testament. If this is true, does that mean that the vast majority of Old Testament Jews would fight sin without the help of the Holy Spirit? The growth I have seen in my walk with Christ is without a doubt a work of the Holy Spirit. I can’t imagine fighting the ‘sin battle’ without the work of the Spirit. I know that apart from Christ, I wouldn’t even seek a life of holiness. Thank you again and I appreciate your thoughts on this. God bless.  4. In Acts 5 once Ananias and Sapphirias were found out and each died on the spot, did they go to heaven, or were they sent to hell?  Resources Kids Say the Darndest Things (Theology Edition) by Adriel Sanchez Rediscovering the Holy Spirit: God’s Perfecting Presence in Creation, Redemption, and Everyday Life by Michael Horton Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
