In this episode, Chris Hilkin tackles one of the hardest questions in the Bible: is the God of the Old Testament morally good?\nChris walks through five biblical and historical reasons why the conquest narratives aren’t what modern readers often assume. You'll hear how ancient war language, the slow process of displacement, divine justice, and God's mercy all help make sense of these difficult passages—and why rejecting God on moral grounds requires a much deeper look at history and Scripture.\nWhat You’ll Learn:\nWhy “utter destruction” often used hyperbolic war language, not literal commands\nHow God’s judgment differs from human genocide or racism\nThe role of divine justice in protecting future generations from corruption\nWhy God has the moral authority to give and take life\nHow to answer questions about Old Testament violence \n\n Scriptures  References:\nDeuteronomy 7, 20; Joshua 6, 10; Judges 1–2\n1 Samuel 15; Exodus 23; Job 1:21; Romans 13\nRevelation 7.\nInvite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com\nRead The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dYTexbkvAH7EjY4sdrnUJpRzc4P9Vasgn9FyCcMZZxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMjIx/YTIwZTkyNmQzYjVk/NmFkNWJhNjRmYjdl/M2VlZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
