The Law of God has two massive challenges: Slavery is permitted and the death penalty is commanded for offenses that don't seem like a big deal. How can God be good for including these challenges in his Law in the Old Testament?
This series on bible difficulties is also a book that I wrote with Josh McDowell! Check out: Why Did God Do That?: Discovering the Goodness of God in the Hard Passages of Scripture. To learn more and go deeper with this book, check out josh.org/wdgdt
This is the fifth video in our series on Bible Difficulties, and the second video talking about challenges related to the Law of God. If you want to see this whole 10-video series, then visit this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbG4xNJY63Pm0zT2yZhaILuaPHmRYpKD6
