Genocide and God: Did the Old Testament Authorize Ethnic Cleansing?
Did God really command the destruction of entire nations in the Old Testament — including women and children?
This episode tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions in Scripture. With biblical clarity and theological depth, we explore the Canaanite conquest, the justice of God, and how it all points to the cross of Christ.
We also confront modern accusations of “divine genocide” and show why the Bible’s vision of judgment is nothing like Islamic jihad or modern terrorism.
🔍 Topics include:
- The depravity of the Canaanite nations
- God's justice, patience, and mercy
- Hyperbolic war language in ancient texts
- Why this was judgment — not genocide
- How this all leads us to Jesus
