How do we know when the Old Testament is foreshadowing Christ and when it's not?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

First up today, here's a voicemail we received from one of our listeners earlier this week.

I'm calling because I wanted to know what the Bible says about anime and

bestiality. I was violated when I was five, and this has led to a lot of sexual perversion in my

life. I recently told my husband about some of the stuff I've been struggling with, and he was

like, okay with it, and it says it's not hurting anybody. But I know that God wants the marriage

bed to be pure. I've tried opening up to a few members in my church, and I feel judged.

They just say, just pray about it.

I don't know how to be free.

I don't want God to give me over to these sins.

I'm just struggling, and I wanted to know how I'm supposed to be set free,

even though I have asked Jesus to take away these desires.

Thank you. Bye.

Well, sister, my heart goes out to you.

And, I mean, there's a lot to unpack there.

It sounds to me like you are longing for deliverance,

like you're being open with your husband, even with people in your church, confessing your sin.
