Is God pro-war? 

Marcion, a 2nd century theologian, said there was an irreconcilable gap between the loving God that Jesus taught about versus what he said was the cruel, violent God of the Old Testament. His solution was to remove the Old Testament from the canon of Scripture. 

Is that what we should do? Or should we just ignore hard passages? 

This Sunday we face this subject head on. We will work hard to understand this because there is no way to have a deep, authentic faith in God if we don’t, with as much maturity and patience and sobriety as we can muster, just real honestly face topics like this head on.
