Episode 902 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Questions in this Episode 1. I have children with someone outside of marriage. I am trying to get back into the faith but she is not a believer and we're not together. What should I do? I have heard from others that we should get married and from others not to try and get married and to try to find a Christian woman instead. 2. James 4:3 says, "You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." I have been praying to God to give me a godly wife to curb my passions in light of 1 Corinthians 7:9, "But if they can not exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than burn with passion." But James 4:3 seems to imply that God won't answer my prayer because I seek to fulfill my passion. Is that right? 3.

Episode 900 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Questions in this Episode 1. When Paul says that the law is dead and we are no longer bound to it, does he mean "man's law" or "God's law"? I know the 10 commandments were written by God's hand and that other ceremonial laws were written by human hands. Which one are we bound to? 2. Should God be addressed with "she" and "her" pronouns to accommodate for God's "feminine attributes"? The church I currently attend believes God is not solely patriarchal because of some verses in the Old Testament that describe Him as a "mother hen." This doesn't make sense to me because Jesus, who is fully God, is a man and also refers to God in heaven as "Father." 3. I struggle with severe anxiety and my friend was trying to comfort me by saying that, "God will never give you something you can't handle." Is this biblical? 4. Should Christians practice foot washing like Jesus did? 5. Can you have a hard heart and still be saved?
