Summary

I'm hoping to some more content on violence in the Old Testament as well as a much more detailed and thoughtful response to Greg Boyd's "Cruciform Hermeneutic" in the future. Until then, here is a video getting started on those topics and hopefully offering some help on topics like "How could God kill people?", "What about the Amalekites?", "How literal are the 'destroy them all' passages?", "Is it reasonable to just say that those passages don't really reflect God's commands?" Here's a link to Paul Copan's book "Is God a Moral Monster?" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EPYPY4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Here's a link to the YouTube channel for The Remnant Radio https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC31RZ-b3D1w452JLuzLVl4Q Here are my three videos on whether the Bible has been changed or not and it includes my full explanation of what’s going on with the passage in John about the woman caught in adultery. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuzJhPtmrgqpVoXhjvqiIjW If you want to help me continue making free content then you can do so through my website at this link https://biblethinker.org/index.php/donate

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. Earlier this week I was interviewed on
0:11.4	remnant radio on the topic of violence in the Old Testament
0:14.8	and just understanding those concepts and passages better dealing with challenges and tough ideas.
0:19.8	In the same interview that you're about to see, we also get into a whole section of discussion on how some people try to reinterpret the Bible, I think in a very bad way.
0:31.0	It's called the cruciform hermonutic and it's been championed by a gentleman
0:35.2	named Greg Boyd. So we're going to deal with that in detail after we deal with some of these passages as well.
0:40.0	I hope this is really fruitful for you. I will get into these topics in more detail in the future on my channel. I can't tell you when but it will happen.
0:46.8	Consider this like a good introduction and maybe maybe a little bit of help as you're kind of thinking through these things.

1:02.4	We've got an exciting episode with Mike Winger. Louis with New Testament and God in the Old Testament as if Jesus isn't God. That was a
1:14.3	slip of the tongue. God in the New Testament and God in the Old Testament. Is that?
1:17.6	Yeah, yeah.
1:18.6	Orthodox way of saying that. Mike's over there already riding a list of things to correct.
1:23.0	Nope, that was wrong.
1:24.0	I already got to fix something there.
1:26.0	So looking forward to this interview today, Mike has been on the show twice before.
