Episode 778 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Questions in this Episode 1. Psalms 118:8 says it is better to put confidence in the Lord rather than man. I was wondering how you can square this in regards to the Covid vaccine? 2. What is the prayer of faith in the book of James? 3. I was wondering if Buddhist's theories could still be divinely inspired. I practiced Buddhism for a long time and it seems like he said a lot of things Jesus said and I'm not sure if he got it from the Bible. That seems doubtful. Do you think some of his writings might be divinely inspired, and if not are they satanically inspired? 4. What does Paul mean in Ephesians 5:3 when he says, "But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints"? 5.

Episode 777 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Questions in this Episode 1. I have been reading in Romans 12 about spiritual gifts. Paul seems to say that our spiritual gifts are given in accordance with the amount of faith we have. What does that look like in our lives? 2. Does God favor men over women? Seems to me that God created Eve as an afterthought in the creation process and that he created a woman to give to Adam like she was just some kind of object to help alleviate Adam's boredom. 3. What does it mean to pick up our cross and follow after God? 4. I am wondering what your thoughts are about Christian heavy hardcore and metal music. Psalm 150 says, "everything that has breath, praise the Lord." Some bands call this aggressive-worship, but some people think it's the devil's music because of all the screaming, etc. What do you think? 5. In Mark 4:11-12, Jesus says His speaking in parables is so those "outside" may not understand, otherwise they would turn and be forgiven? Why does He say this? Isn't God's will that none should perish? 6. Did Jesus go to hell after the crucifixion? And were the people in Abraham's bosom, were they people who were getting a second chance at salvation? 7. Was Jesus Michael the archangel and was he made after Satan? I have a friend who is suggesting this but I can't find it anywhere in the Bible.

What is the significance of the 42 months mentioned in Revelation 11 and 12? 2. My husband has a rare disease and it has caused to think about the ethics of donating his organs after his death. Do you think that this is an acceptable practice for Christians to do? 3. I am confused about Matthew 5:30 The Bible says that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, but in this passage it sounds like works because if I don't stop sinning by lusting after a woman, I'm going to hell—so I have to do things to stop myself going to hell? 4. There are some famous pastors who have private jets and mansions. Is there any justification for this, especially with all of the poverty we see in the world and how there are people who have yet hear the gospel? 5.

I believe God walked with me in person and taught and trained me how to be an apostle, taught me the protocols of the temple of my soul, how to enter his presence and what not to do in his presence and so much more. Why are there so few churches who teach that there are still apostles today? 2. What does Genesis 1:2 mean? 3. When I hear on the news about war, terror, and devastating things happening in other countries, where people are being slaughtered by terrorists, it sometimes leads me to think about the Old Testament passages where God ordered Israel to take over the land and sometimes kill the people who lived there, both men, women and children. I have a hard time seeing that this killing of, especially children, was something that God was behind. Could you help me understand this more? 4.

I've lost the habit of reading Scripture daily sand I am feeling distant from God. I can't seem to focus because of personal circumstances. How do I get back into it please? 4. In the story of Hagar and Sarah, Hagar seems to be the one who is treated poorly, yet in Galatians 4, Paul associates Hagar with the old covenant. Likewise, in that story Sarah seems to be the perpetrator of Hagar's misfortune, yet Paul associates her with the new covenant. Why is that? 5.

What happens to those people at the Final Judgment who have never heard the gospel? 2. I was a vet that served in Afghanistan. It's so heartbreaking and frustrating to see the devastation of what is going on there. And while I wanted to thank you for your prayer on the program that you gave for the people suffering in Afghanistan, is prayer the only bit of hope we can offer these people? We have no idea what it's like to suffer this way, and I just am at a loss for words. It seems that there is no sense of comfort whatsoever. What do you think? 3. Scripture says that we should not "love the world," but Jesus said that he came so that we may have life "more abundantly." Is this a contradiction? Should we hate our life or enjoy it? 4. It seems that if someone receives the Mark of the Beast that they will know it. But after being vaccinated, I am fearful that I accidentally have taken the mark. What do you think? 5.

There's a quote from a famous Christian author that basically says, 'If you could have all the good things in heaven except for Jesus, could you be satisfied with heaven?' Some people use this as a test for whether or not a person is a Christian. Sometimes I'm afraid that I could be satisfied with a Christless heaven, since I don't love Jesus enough. Should this make me question my salvation? 2. What does Paul mean in 2 Corinthians 12 when he talks about being taken up to the third heaven? 3.

I wrote to you a few months ago about having had a sex change and you gave me hope in Christ. But now I read in 3:16-17 that our bodies are "the temple of God," and to defile it is cause for destruction of the body. Does this mean that I will be destroyed, body and my soul?
