Today I had the honor of interviewing Paul Copan on a very sensitive and heavy topic; the skeptics claim that the God of the Bible is wicked and immoral. I ask Paul Copan the below questions in this video. I pray this interview will enlighten you, allow you to understand on to stand on the morality and love of God, and for those skeptics, I pray the interview opens your eyes to remove the bias and copy-and-paste arguments that many times are used. Remember, context is key...along with Covenantal understanding!
1) Slavery: Is God calling slaves property or slave owners? Is God allowing slave owners to beat their slaves, without repercussion, as lon as they don't die? (Exodus 21:20-21)
2) Rape: Why would God command a rape victim to marry the rapist? (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
3) Intentional Lying: If God is against lying and intentional deception, how can God justly send a "lying spirit" out to King Ahab" (1 Kings 22:20-22)
4) Pedophilia: Is there a difference between the Western pedophilia push today and the belief, that in the first century, and earlier, many males were married to teenage girls?
5) Murder: Did God command two bears to maul-to-death kids? (2 Kings 2:23-24)
6) Human Sacrifice: Did Japhtheh kill his daughter via human sacrifice? (Judges 11:30-31)
7) Genocide: Did God command the genocide of the Amalekites, to include infants? (1 Samuel 15:3)
8) Child Sacrifice: How do you explain God's command to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? (Genesis 22)
9) Bashing Babies Against Rocks: Does God really bless someone who bashes babies against rocks? (Psalm 137:9)
10) Abortions/Miscarriages: Did God truly cause miscarriages in the womb? (Numbers 5:20-28, Hosea 9:14)
