Episode: #181 Is God Different in the Old Testament Than He is in the New?
Description: Some seem to think the God we read about in the Old Testament behaves differently than he does in the New. Today we are asking the question, is God a vindictive bully as famous atheist Richard Dawkins has stated? In todays epsiode, Dr. Paul Copan joins the podcast to talk through difficult Old Testament passages such as 2 Kings 2:23-35 where 42 young men are mauled by bears after calling Elisha “Baldhead.” We also touch on the Canaanite Conquest, and the Old Testament law codes concerning rape and adultery.
