Thru the Bible: Joshua Part 2 (The Question of Conquest & the Scarlet Cord)

March 04, 2024 • Annie Perkins Ministries • Season 4 • Episode 29

In today’s conversation we’re going to walk head-on into a question which plagues many modern Bible readers—the ethicality of the conquest of Canaan. Yes, we’re going to go there, and we’re going to discuss why God would not only condone, but actually commission the conquest of the land of Canaan. We’ll reason and examine our way through the biblical narrative, while also acknowledging that this relationship we have with our omniscient, sovereign God will always require us to trust His character. We’ll surrender our questions to the pen of the divine Author who is writing His story, and we’ll marvel (as I’m sure Rahab did) at the scarlet thread of grace and mercy which is woven so lovingly throughout the entirety of that story, culminating with the blood of Jesus. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.
