Understanding Violence in the Old Testament

About this sermon

Friends, parts of the Old Testament depict God commanding the Israelites to massacre entire populations—every man, woman, child, and animal. How should Christians make sense of these passages? They seem to present God as angry, vindictive, and genocidal, contradicting the New Testament presentation of God as loving and merciful. That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss in today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show." A listener asks, what are your thoughts on Carl Jung? What do you agree with and disagree with?
