Apologetics & Worldview: The Problem Of Evil, Part 3

This study addresses the objection that God is unjust for commanding the destruction of the Canaanites and Amalekites by arguing that these actions were acts of divine justice rather than genocide. It contends that human critics like Richard Dawkins lack a consistent moral standard within a naturalistic worldview to judge God's character. The study emphasizes that these nations had 400 years to repent but remained wicked, justifying their judgment under God's sovereign authority. By comparing this to the punishment of Israel and the destruction of Jerusalem, the text asserts that God applies the same standard of justice to His own people as He does to Gentiles. Ultimately, the message calls for submission to Scripture over human autonomy when evaluating difficult biblical accounts.
