Broadcast Episode

February 13, 2023

In this episode, Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer questions from callers. The first question is about whether a Christian who dies from an addiction will still be saved. The second question is about why God killed David's son. The third question is about why Jesus had to die in order to take care of our sins, when his perfect life could have been enough. The fourth question is about why Jesus was betrayed with a kiss in Luke 22:53. The fifth question is about whether it is wrong for a church to meet in a Jewish community center. Adriel and Bill provide biblical answers to each of these questions.
