Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Can Christians become demon possessed?

2. How can I tell if I am being disobedient to God in not wanting to be a missionary? Are there other ways to be part of the great commission without going to other cities or countries?

3. What exactly happens after heaven and hell? I believe that we are all here for self-betterment and becoming closer to God. What happens if a person in hell wants to better themselves, is there a way for them to better themselves and become saved?

4. How exactly is it that Jesus' suffering and death saves people?

5. Are the gifts of the Spirit like healing and tongues for today? I have heard that they died with the apostles and I have heard they are still for today because that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. I hear a lot on the radio about addictions and the Lord Jesus Christ and his relation to God and submitting to God and finding direction. I would like to hear more in guiding my way out of agnostic belief and finding a path

2. In John 2:19 Jesus refers to his body as a temple. Is this the same thing that Paul means when he calls believers temples of the Holy Spirit?

3. At what point does something become a non-disputable matter? At what point over doctrine should we separate?

4. Some Christians are really concerned to reach out to people and talk about being all things to all people. I'm generally encouraged by an approach that puts evangelism first but how can we do this without getting caught up in the world and the culture?

5. What did John mean when he called Jesus "the Word made flesh"? Is this verse teaching that God became a man?

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Romans 3:11 says no one seeks God. Is the Bible speaking literally here? It certainly looks like people seek after God. What do you think?

2. Who changed Jesus' name from Yeshua to Jesus?

3. Does Luke 9:27 teach that the kingdom of God would come before some of his disciples died? I'm confused about this.

4. Is it wrong to pray to Jesus instead of God the Father?

5. Is salvation really by grace? Is there really no place for our works? If this is true why isn't everyone teaching this?

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. How do I know that Jesus is real?

2. What you think about the state of our culture and how Christians should think about it?

3. Psalm 111.9 says, "he sent redemption unto his people. He hath commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverend is his name." If God's name is reverend, why is it okay to use reverend in front of a man's name like reverend so and so at church?

4. Is it possible to struggle with addiction and be a true Christian?

5. What does it mean to be saved? I'm confused by the past, present and future language of being saved in the Bible.

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus the mediator?

2. Is there a rise of liberalism in the church? If so, how should we be dealing with that?

3. How do we reconcile Matthew, Mark, and Luke, with John? I know that there are skeptics who use this as a way to say that the Gospels are just made up accounts.

4. How has God used the church to be a blessing in your life? Do you think the blessing of the church is a good reason to be part of a church?

5. Is it selfish to pray for yourself? Should our prayer life be focused on others or is it okay to pray that God would bless us?

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. The thief on the cross who ended up dying, in Scripture it says that one needs to be baptized in order to be born again. If he was not born of water and Spirit, how would he be saved?

2. Is pluralism a bad thing? I know that some Christians are set on making America a Christian nation, but shouldn't we want America to be open to all religions, and isn't this better for the advancement of the gospel if a mission field comes to us?

3. I go to a seminary and we are supposed to celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday. Is that correct? Does it still apply to us or was God just talking to the Israelites the Sabbath that supposed to be on Saturday?

4. There are passages that teach that God is sovereign and others that teach we are responsible and active. My question is, how does God's providence and human responsibility work together in our lives?

5. Can fear of hell be used as a good motivation to holiness or should we only be motivated by grace?

Is the Law of God and the Law of Moses the Same Thing? Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Episode 241 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Does grace mean that we have to forgive everyone even if they sin against us in the same way over and over? At what point do we say that a person needs to repent?

2. Is the law of God and the law of Moses the same thing? Or are these unique? Is there a difference in the two or are they synonymous?

3. Why did God reject Saul as Israel's king and accept David when David turned out to be almost as bad morally? Was the difference David's heart and is that why God accepts some of us today and will reject others in the judgment?

4. If I was counting days between good Friday and resurrection Sunday, I'm only counting 2 days instead of 3. Am I missing something here about how Jews would have counted days or am I overthinking this here?

5. Does the Old Covenant offer a different way of salvation from the New Covenant? Are Jews today supposed to keep the Old Covenant while Christians are to keep the New Covenant?

6. The Old Testament says no one has ever seen God at any time. How can it also be true that to have seen Jesus is to see the Father? I'm struggling with apologetically explaining how both can be true.

Was Jesus in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve? Aug 02, 2019

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Can God save people who have never heard the gospel but are obedient to the light that they have received either through God revealing himself in nature or another religion?

2. In John 3, what does Jesus mean when he talks about the wind related to the Spirit and being born again?

3. In the beginning, Jesus was with Adam and Eve and then he was born as a child. That confuses me right there.

4. Should Christians seek to be tolerant? I know that there is a difference between being respectful and capitulating to the culture and some people are against the idea of tolerance. What do you think?

5. Jesus tells us that we must be born again? Can you get this little by little or is it like a real birth that happens all at once?

6. Genesis 1:26 says that Adam was to "have dominion over creation." Is this still true today?
