Does the Old Testament Promote Genocide?
Manage episode 481519241 series 2930385
In the Old Testament, God commands His people to commit what could be described as mass genocide. For instance, in 1 Samuel 15:3, God orders King Saul to attack Amalek and spare nothing within the city, including women, children, and livestock. Dr. David K. Bernard explains how these incidents fit within the larger framework of Scripture, including the more loving and gentler depiction of God in the New Testament.
