Summary
Episode 930 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. As a woman trying to choose a doctor, does my gynecologist have to be a woman? Is there a line, even if they are a really good doctor?
2. Matthew 5:21-22 says that anyone who is so much as "angry" is guilty of murder. I can't believe that I am interpreting that right. I get angry with people all the time but it doesn't mean I murdered them. I would appreciate your insight on this.
3. Did the Serpent in the garden have legs before the fall?
4. If a woman preaches, is she exercising spiritual authority?
5. Why did God demand animal sacrifices in the Old Testament?

| 0:41.5 | but something happened yesterday here at the Core Christianity Office, and we can't do that today. |
| 0:47.8 | Yes, we, the offices got broken into last night, and so we don't have our cameras anymore, along with some other |
| 0:56.2 | things. And so we're obviously upset about that. But we're thankful to the Lord that we're still |
| 1:02.5 | able to do the live broadcast. And so, yeah, it's just really, really frustrating. I mean, |
| 1:08.4 | one of those things when you get, when a burglary takes place, somebody's, you know, messing with your stuff, you just feel so, so violated. And so, uh, really kind of an unfortunate situation. But I did want to take just a moment right now, uh, to pray for whoever it was that was in our studio last night, breaking in and, things that the Lord would convict them and ultimately that the Lord would save them. |
| 1:32.5 | So, Father, we thank you, Lord, that you are good. |
| 1:37.2 | And Lord, that you are in control of all things. |
| 1:39.7 | And we want to pray right now for the individual or the individuals who broke into our studio last night |
| 1:47.6 | asking Father that you would draw them to yourself by the power of the Holy Spirit through your son Jesus Christ |
| 1:54.1 | that you would convict them of sin that you would bring them to a place of repentance |
| 1:59.6 | and that you would cause them to a place of repentance, and that you would cause them, Lord, |
| 2:01.9 | to receive your grace, your forgiveness, your goodness. Would you be with them, Lord? And would |
| 2:08.6 | you be with all of our listeners today as well? In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. So the show must go on, |
| 2:14.4 | even without our cameras. You can definitely give us a call and ask |
| 2:18.0 | Adriel, your question about the Bible, theology, doctrine, whatever, 8333-3-2-3-26-73. We also get |
| 2:27.6 | voicemails here at Core Christianity, and here's one from one of our listeners named Mara. |
