Genocidal God? - The Jesus Trip

About this sermon

Did God Say the Hard Stuff? One of the most difficult passages of scripture is God's Old Testament order for Israel to conduct a genocide of the Canaanite peoples - men, women, children and animals. This poses difficulty for many who attempt to reconcile such horror with the God of love seen in Jesus and the New Testament. What is the proper way to handle these acts? Do we relegate these passages to human misinterpretation of God's decree? Do we view this as the "dark side" of God that is appeased by Jesus' death? Or is there another option that holds to the genuine inspiration of scripture without painting God as a moral monster? This week, John Crowder tackles the massive topic of the inspiration of scripture, showing that God's "No" in the law was actually His hidden "Yes" in disguise. What if those shadowy old passages were not yet God's final word for the Canaanites?
