Before we judge God's actions in Joshua, we must understand what the Canaanites were actually doing. Child sacrifice. Ritual prostitution. Demonic worship. Archaeological evidence confirms the horrifying practices that filled the land. Today, we explore the moral context of God's judgment—not as cruelty, but as justice against practices so depraved that they demanded intervention. This is the story of a God who waited, who gave opportunity for repentance, and who finally acted to stop the unspeakable.
