Is the "Old Testament God" Immoral? | Answer Anyone with Sye Ten Bruggencate #3


Listen Later

Have you ever heard objections like, “I could never worship a God who killed so many people in the flood," or "How could God have commanded genocide against the Canaanites?" It may be common to accuse God's actions recorded in the Old Testament as immoral... but is it right?

Or could it be that, by accusing God of being immoral or evil, the skeptic undermines his own foundation for morality? Is it really true that, without God, moral categories don't even make sense? How should a Christian respond to the accusation that God is immoral or evil?

That’s what Sye Ten Bruggencate and Joel Settecase discuss in this third episode of “Answer Anyone with Sye Ten Bruggencate.”

Specifically, you’ll find out…

  • Why people raise these accusations.
  • What the Bible really says about God's actions in the Old Testament.
  • How the Triune God of Scripture. is the only possible foundation for telling the difference between good and evil
  • What happens when we abandon God in order to argue against God's goodness.
