 One of the many objections that scoffers tend to level against Biblical theism, is that the Old Testament, they charge, makes commands that seem unreasonable, unethical and even quite barbaric! They argue that if that is who the God the Bible is all about, then they would rather have nothing to do with him (as if anyone could ever escape God!) However, their ‘objection’ betrays not only a deficient understanding of the Mosaic Law, but that the law ultimately serves but one purpose… to drive men to Christ! |

The very notion that God would command the obliteration of entire nations is abhorrent to sceptics and seekers alike. Read in it’s proper context however, we come to see that God’s commands are perfectly consistent with his justice and his mercy…
On the face of it, the Mosaic Law gives several ‘scandalous’ imperatives that assault modern sensibilities and that seem to do nothing more than to fuel objections to Biblical theism!
