104 - Bible Questions Pt. 3

from Crash Course Catholicism · host Dr Caitlin West

caitlinwest.comFINAL EPISODE OF THE DEEP DIVE LET'S GOOOOIn this episode, we consider common moral problems that people encounter when they read the Bible. Why does the God of the Old Testament seem so angry and cruel, while Jesus seems merciful and loving? Why does God give such harsh punishments to people in the Old Testament? Does the Bible condone things like slavery and genocide? What about all those people who do terrible things in the Bible?Basically just a few really easy simple questions that aren't at all controversial, you're welcome.
