Summary
Episode 1012 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Is what happened to Israel in the Old Covenant happening to America now?
2. I have heard that some Bible scholars say that what Paul describes in Romans 7 is describing his pre-conversion experience rather than everyday struggles in the Christian life. What do you think?
3. There seems to be a lot of confusion about baptism. We should be emphasizing preaching the gospel rather than baptism, shouldn't we?
4. Paul warned us not to take communion in an unworthy manner, but I unfortunately used to take communion before I understood what it's significance was. Today, I have severe mental illness and diabetes and I struggle with knowing where I stand with God. I'm afraid God was angry and that he caused me to get sick. Are these things connected?
5. How do I respond to a Christian who thinks Eastern Medicine having to do with one's energy can be infused with Christianity?

| 0:38.7 | First up today, let's go to Brian calling in from St. Louis, Missouri. |
| 0:43.1 | Brian, what's your question for, Pastor Adriel? |
| 0:45.3 | Yeah, I've been a Christian for a long time, and I've been reading lately in the book of |
| 0:49.6 | judges and some very similar things that kind of parallel what happened to the Jewish people back then. |
| 0:58.2 | I really truly believe we're happening in America today. |
| 1:02.4 | I think that when they took Jesus' prayer in the Bible out of the schools, |
| 1:09.7 | that's when the school system started going downhill |
| 1:12.4 | because they started teaching humanistic teachings to our young children. |
| 1:17.8 | And I really think that if America doesn't wake up and realize what happened to the Jews in the Old Testament |
| 1:24.2 | isn't happening to America now, America's in big trouble. |
| 1:30.9 | Hey, Brian, thank you for that question. |
| 1:34.9 | So a couple of things. |
| 1:36.5 | One, just in terms of thinking about Israel under the old covenant, in covenant relationship with God, as this body that basically, you know, you had this this theocracy on earth where God is ruling over them. They're in a distinct situation in the history of redemption that isn't the same as what we're in right now. And specifically, we want to be careful when we're careful when we're drawing these sort of one-to-one |
| 2:02.1 | correlations between the covenant people of God in the Old Testament, Israel, and any particular |
| 2:09.2 | nation of this world, including the United States of America. Really, Israel under the old |
| 2:15.0 | covenant was a type of the church today. |
| 2:18.3 | The church of Jesus Christ is the holy nation on earth today, the embassy of heaven, if you will. |
