Summary

If God told you to kill someone, what would you do? Wouldn’t you seek a psychiatrist? Why did Abraham almost go through with killing his son Isaac? How did Abraham know God told him and not a demon? How does the violence in the Old Testament differ from that in the Qur’an? And does God really give us free choice if it’s either “worship me or go to Hell!” Atheists often challenge Christians with questions like this. In fact, Frank tells of an atheist asking some of these questions this week at the University of Nebraska. How does one respond to this and other questions? Listen to find out!
