They discuss God’s confrontation of sin and false worship in ancient cultures and how Jesus fulfills the entire biblical story. Their conversation also addresses biblical generosity, the meaning of the temple veil, and how Christians can pursue biblical truth, peace, and discernment in modern conversations about Israel and global conflict.\n\nQUESTIONS:\nHow does viewing “holy war” as God’s confrontation with sin—not people—change how you read the Old Testament?\nWhat does it mean for Jesus to fulfill the entire Old Testament story in your everyday faith and obedience?\nWhat sources most influence your views on Israel and global conflict, and how can you intentionally filter them through God’s Word?\nREAD MORE:\nThe commander of the Lord’s army in Joshua 5:13–15\nRahab’s faith and allegiance to God in Joshua 2 and Hebrews 11:31\nJesus as the once-for-all sacrifice in Hebrews 9:11–14 and Hebrews 10:10–14\nThe tearing of the temple veil in Matthew 27:50–51\nBlessed are the peacemakers in Matthew 5:9\nTesting and holding fast to truth in 1 Thessalonians 5:21","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/eTmMKc-Y_5S7FsXZdcsTWBKoA5-k3EJsU_eTDeSZWwU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNzY4/MGQ5ZWMyZDEzYmRl/ZThmZDk0NjhkODU4/ZmM2My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
