Sinopse
A Violent God? Today Mike and Tim are joined by the other Tim to discuss various topics, including Gombis's experience teaching kindergarten, the performance of the Cubs and Giants, and the small issue of violence in the Old Testament. Together, we explore different perspectives on reconciling the violence in the Old Testament with Jesus' teachings in the New Testament. Gombis offers insights into how the Old Testament portrays God's judgment and the role of Israel as His agents, while acknowledging the complexity of the issue and the need for further exploration. The conversation explores the tension between the violent portrayals of God in the Old Testament and the message of love and hospitality in the New Testament. We look at various interpretations and explanations for these portrayals, including the idea of God accommodating to the cultural context of the time, while emphasizing the importance of the church practicing radical hospitality and caring for the marginalized and oppressed.
