Summary
Episode 1016 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. If the Prodigal Son had not repented, would he still be saved? Does God have a time limit on when he gives up on people?
2. Is the soul something different than our spirit?
3. I am struggling with alcoholism and I realize that Paul says drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God. What should I do?
4. I am wondering what it looks like to carry out the Great Commission and "make disciples of all nations?" I have heard some friends say that the Great Commission is something that only pastors do and not the average Christian. What do you think?
5. My grandson now is transitioning to be a "granddaughter." No one is addressing this issue and talking about if gender is binary. Can you help?

| 0:39.7 | First up today, here's a voicemail from one of our listeners named Becky. |
| 0:44.3 | I would like to ask about the prodigal son, the story of him coming to his senses, and he later in |
| 0:53.1 | verse 19 returned to his father's house. |
| 0:56.8 | He also asked his father and prayed, I have sin against both heaven and you. |
| 1:02.3 | So this product of son repented. |
| 1:05.6 | My question is, if he had not repented, is there a timeline that God would give up on a sinner? Thank you. |

| 1:31.1 | on someone who's just absolutely hopeless, then God is our only hope. When it comes to our sins, |
| 1:37.1 | we can't wash our own sins away. We need the Lord. And I think that there are a lot of believers, |

| 2:07.6 | And to you, to that person, I would say, no, there is an ocean of mercy for you. And the Father is |
| 2:16.4 | always calling us back home, back to repentance. |
| 2:23.1 | And so that's the good news. I think, I think, you know, when we come to Jesus, Jesus says, |
