Episode 392 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I’m confused by what Jesus meant when he said came before John the Baptist for baptism. He said it was to fulfill all righteousness. What did that mean if Jesus was sinless? 2. I just heard episode 282 where you talked about the three levels of forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration—I thought that was an excellent way to talk about how to handle offenses and especially abuse from a loved one. My follow up question is this: when the abusive person is a parent and you know reconciliation or restoration is unwise or not possible, how do you still show honor to your parent?   3. Since Christians tend easily to divide with disagreements about doctrine, how do you distinguish between what is essential and what is not? Or should we treat all Biblical doctrines the same?   4. In 1 John 4:1-3 what does John mean by “spirit of antichrist”? I always thought that the antichrist would be a person. 5. Is repentance a work we do? Is it meritorious in any way or is it just a change of mind? Resources Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification by Sinclair B.
