Jihad vs. Judgment: Why Old Testament Warfare Isn’t the Same as Islamic Terror

Roland Albertus Season 2 Episode 5

Islamic terrorists claim divine backing for their violence. Atheists say the Bible is no better. But are Old Testament wars really the same as Islamic jihad?

In this controversial bonus episode, we confront one of the hardest questions Christians face:
 “How can the God of the Old Testament command war — and still be good?”

We’ll walk through:

  • Why jihad and biblical warfare are not morally equivalent
  • How Islam self-destructs by affirming the Bible — but denying its core message
  • Why the Qur’an’s denial of the cross destroys any hope of salvation
  • And why the judgment of Canaan points us not to genocide, but to the glory of Christ

If you’ve ever felt cornered by this question — or struggled with it yourself — this episode is for you.

We don’t flinch. We go straight into the fire…
 And find a God who is just, merciful, and unshakably holy.
