The Ethics of God (permitted polygamy, slavery, & eternal hell) w/Paul Copan

2 hours? What is this, YouTube shorts?

Congrats Jake and Heather!

🌹Heavenly Father please give me courage to overcome the battles I face as a single parent, I feel so alone. I suffer from lupus and heart disease. Raising both of my sons on my own is overwhelming at times because both have special needs. Lord give me courage and strength as I struggle to provide daily necessities like shelter, food, and clothing for my sons.

“I did have a bad attitude last week but now I’m moving forward”, to me, is one of the most beautiful parts about mercy & grace that The Father allows to minister to Him on our behalf. The notion that today I can be completely wrong, enter His courts with repentance, change & be anew right then and there is absolutely awe inspiring.

While watching this, I realized something really deep. There are people who understand the bible very differently from others. I have read the bible cover to cover and I agree with the majority of what this man is talking about. To me it is self explanatory because there are several scriptures to back up those quesstions that that need answers. They are right there. Why is this so for me? When I read the word of God I emptied my mind and allowed God to direct me. My mission was to understand who God was and not just to read the history or stories of the Bible. This helped me Greatly when the holy spirit led. There are people who have read the bible cover to cover and still don't understand how God operates. The bible is not just a Text Book, you need God for directions. I would really encourage people to set aside pride and surrender their hearts to God. Assuredly he will teach you. He is the greatest teacher, ask him. Never waste your time debating God and conflicting with him. Strive to know how he operates. God is a Just God, he is merciful, he is holy and we have no idea of the intense love he has for us. So seek to know him.

Something left out on the discussion of genocide: when the world was restarted with Shem, Ham, and Jephath (the 3 sons of Noah and their wives), the world was divided into 3 territories, one for each son. Ham chose Africa, but that didn't stop one of his son's (named Canaan, whom Noah himself cursed for being an evil man) from usurping part of Shem's territory now known as the promised land. Canaan knew what he was doing, and through evil knowledge that was found in Egypt, he helped bring back the mixing of things from the antediluvian world, meaning: the creation of giants. They practiced cannibalism, human sacrifice, and all kinds of evil. It was not even their territory. So when the Israelites were brought of Egypt, they knew their time for repenting was over, now it was judgement time. And God knew they would not repent, so it was time to get rid of all the abomination happening in Canaan. Many of the people there were products of literal monsters and giants, not just normal tribesman living there as some uneducated people will tell you.

“If God is not wrathful, then God is not loving.” This brings up a point about holy anger versus human or flesh anger.

Bless Heather and Jake and their new little baby girl
