What is Christian Discipleship and How Do I Practice It?
08/17/20 • 25 min
Episode 511 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today's show:
1. Is it possible to have sins unpaid for? In other words, when Jesus said from the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” were those people forgiven, or did Jesus die for those sins? Should we assume that all of the people in the crowd were eventually saved because Jesus forgave their sins?
2. Between the time of Jesus' death and his resurrection, Jesus spoke with “those in prison.” Who would they be, and what would have been the result of that?
3. I'm really confused about discipleship. What is it, and what does it look like practically?
4. When, if ever, is it okay to lie?

Why Is God Silent When I Cry Out for Help?
Episode 510 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today's show:
1. How come God hasn't destroyed Satan already?
2. I’ve been with the Lord for almost 30 years. When I was younger, I committed adultery. I did repent, but to this day I hurt so much. Yes, for the things I have done, but mostly because I was already a born again Christian. And I keep asking myself why! I had children. What happens to a person who commits adultery?
3. In view of the truth of election and the reality that we contribute nothing to our salvation, except sin. Without clouding the gospel with human effort, what does a gospel presentation look like?
4. I’m calling about the idea that Jesus comforts us when we are in trouble and going through spiritual difficulties. I’ve been a Christian for over 20 years, and I certainly believe that Christ is my only hope of being united to the Father. But one thing I have difficulty understanding and accepting is when people say, run to Jesus to give you comfort. What does that even mean, to run to Jesus? Obviously, he’s not here in person, so we can’t run up to him, and then sometimes when you ask for said comfort, it doesn’t come. What are we supposed to do with that?

Will People In Hell Believe Their Punishment Was Unjust?
Episode 512 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today's show:
1. Why do Christians argue about the gift of speaking in tongues, saying that you don’t have to speak in tongues to have the Spirit? Scripture clearly teaches that we cry, “Abba Father” when we have the gift of the Spirit. Can you explain that?
2. I heard Adriel state that church pastors or ministers “must be above reproach” in reference to why pastors or ministers cannot be gay. But isn’t it true that none of us are above reproach?
3. Are there different levels of punishment in hell? Along with that, was hell created only for Satan? I know I am thinking of human fairness. If God is just, will everyone feel the judgment they receive is fair?
4. What’s the difference between the soul and the spirit? They are always talked about as being separate and different. I would like to hear a definition.
5. What does it mean to abide in Christ? How can I tell if I am abiding in Christ? What does it look like today?
