Summary
Episode 1061 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. In step 9 of AA, it requires those in the program to make restitution with people we've hurt but I'm concerned that it's requirements for restitution aren't entirely honest or biblical. What do you think?
2. Am I going to know that I'm fully saved with complete certainty?
3. I've been listening to your program, and I have to be honest, some people calling sound like whacked out fundamentalists, and that gives the impression to others that Christianity is just made up of a bunch of zealots. What do you think?
4. Does Genesis 3:23-24 reveal an inner dialogue among the persons of the Trinity?
5. What does Paul mean in Romans 3:25 that God passed over sins previously committed? If I continue to sin after God has done this will these new sins be held against me?

| 0:40.2 | First up today, let's go to Matt, who's calling in from Memphis, Tennessee. Matt, what is |
| 0:44.9 | your question for Pastor Adriel? Yes, sir. Hey, Matt. Hi. How are you doing, Pastor? Doing well. |
| 0:53.4 | Thank you for calling in. What's your question? |
| 0:56.0 | Well, being a member of AA and having felt forgiven for things way back in the beginning |
| 1:03.6 | and then becoming a Christian later and getting more knowledgeable about the cross and the forgiveness. |
| 1:11.6 | You know, step five, you confess everything to a confidant or a clergy, |
| 1:17.6 | but step nine prevents you from, when you go out to make restitution and apologies, |
| 1:24.6 | you can't really be totally honest in certain cases, otherwise you'd be hurting them at their expense for your, to free yourself from that guilt. |
| 1:36.3 | And I've seen the practicality of it over time, but it just feels like it just wasn't being rigorously honest like they say to be. |
| 1:51.0 | And like I say, it's protected people, but to go out and bring it dredge up stuff, that'd be wrong, but it just feels unbiblical. |
| 2:03.1 | The only thing that I feel about the whole AA program, which to me is unbiblical, |
| 2:10.5 | step mine on that second part, not hurting people. |
| 2:14.0 | Does that make sense? |
| 2:15.7 | So, you know, I'm not too familiar with all of the steps in what each of them, you know, |
| 2:23.4 | tells you to do. |
| 2:25.2 | But are you saying step nine is asking you to go to other people and share with them, |
| 2:32.2 | but not share everything and you feel like you're |
| 2:34.9 | having to hold back is that what's going on right with step step five you you really get |
