About this sermon
Why is there violence in the Old Testament? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. When we look at the New Testament, we see such a loving and caring God. All we have to imagine is the cross, all His miracles, and how God cared, loved, and healed the people. We also have to look at his commandments. He says, "Be perfect, love, give, and forgive." However, when we look at the Old Testament, we see a very different God: a violent God that seems to like wars. In the Old Testament, he said, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” In other words, if someone hits us, we hit them back. Nevertheless, in the New Testament, He says to give the other cheek. Therefore, we tend to ask ourselves: is the God of the Old Testament the same as today’s? SUBSCRIBE TO COA! https://www.youtube.com/copticorthodo...
