Episode 115: Does The Old Testament Paint God In A Bad Light? - With Paul Copan
Is The God of The Old Testament a bloodthirsty, slave owning, narcissistic entity? Many skeptics of The Bible would argue that is. How could a good God command the genocide of the Canaanites? How could He regulate slavery instead of outright ban it? Does that mean God is ok with slavery? If so, how could we worship such a God; a God who thinks humans should be owned as property? And what about that strange episode where some youths mock Elijah and God calls two she-bears to attack them on Elijah’s behalf?
Today’s guest is Paul Copan, and he tackles all of these issues and more.
