About this listen
I will admit, there are alot of challenging reads in the Bible and I don't blame anyone for feeling uncomfortable and having a problem with the material that is presented in the Bible (especially in the Old Testament).
But if we do not read in context and try to understand the bigger picture of why things took place as they did, then that is when debates, arguments and inaccurate perceptions happen. Instead, reading intently into the scriptures and asking questions to those who have studied well in certain areas will help us get the answers we want/need.
Although we read that "God is love," we must understand that God is just and there must be a justice system to press a charge against the evil and have the good prevail in the end.
Nothing God does is out of spite or evil intent, but out of justice, bring about a better circumstance (children in the Old Testament dying, but are brought up to Heaven; 2 Samuel 12:23, Isaiah 7:16, Deuteronomy 1:39, Matthew 18:3-6, 1 John 2:15-17) and to also prevent something bad from occurring...
Things covered:
- God's love, justice and righteousness
- Destruction of Canaanite women and children
- Evil and Sin
- The killings of animals
