Summary
Episode 921 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. My son was baptized this past summer. One of his friends is reaching out to him and trying to talk to him about the World Missions Society Religion and is persuading him about this new religion about "God the mother." I was doing bible study with my son and he invited his friend to join us and he continued to undermine me and what I was saying about God and the Bible. What passages can I share with my son?
2. What does it mean when Jesus calls us to abide in him? What does this look like in regards to being in the Word and in prayer?
3. I have an apologetic question for you: Surely you've encountered folks who say that it's foolish to believe the Bible. One of the big arguments they make is that the Bible, being thousands of years old, was written for people thousands of years ago. Applying it to the 21st century is putting it out of context and that some of it simply isn't relevant anymore. How do you respond to these people?
4. Is God pleased by the good-deeds of non-believers?
5. My church has made the policy that a couple living together cannot get married in the church until they live apart first. My friend believes Jesus would be welcoming and allow people to get married even if they are living together. What do you think?

| 0:57.0 | And now one of his friends is reaching out to him and trying to talk to him about the World Mission Society's religion, |
| 1:06.0 | and he is really getting a grasp on him with this. But I was doing Bible study with my son, |
| 1:14.6 | and then he invited this person, and really it's scary because they believe in God the father |
| 1:23.4 | and God the mother. Everything I would talk about or read, he was associated with God's |

| 2:05.6 | When I see Christians, people who have been baptized, who believe in Jesus Christ, being led astray by false religion, by sects, by cults. And the world mission society, I mean, usually when you got a big long name like that as a religion, |
| 2:12.6 | that's what you know, that's the first red flag, you know. |
| 2:15.6 | And I've interacted with some people from this cult before, |
