Summary
Episode 1015 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. How can I demonstrate that the Bible is trustworthy and not corrupted?
2. Jesus tells the woman at the well that he is "living water." What does that mean?
3. My Pastor is doing a study in the book of Thessalonians. He stated that the congregation runs the church. Is that right, I thought that Christ ran the church?
4. My daughter is in the hospital and many non-believers are saying that they are praying for her. I realize they mean well, but how should I take that?
5. I am really confused about the trinity. How can they all be different and one, and how can Jesus exist before his incarnation?
