Vindictive Bully? Paul Copan on the
Morality of God
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5TH
Friday: 7:00 – 9:30 pm
Saturday,: 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Held at Metropolitan Bible Church
2176 Prince of Wales Drive, Nepean
Is the Bible silent on condemning slavery? Does the Bible endorse slavery? Does God command Israel to utterly destroy those living on the other side of the Jordan river? Doesn’t this mean the Bible is urging genocide? Does the Bible call for holy war? Doesn’t this legitimize atrocities committed by those who claim to be God’s people?
This is just a sample of the questions that are being asked in Canada today. Many people outside the Christian faith find verses in the Bible which lead them to ask these questions. Many Christians, when confronted with these verses and questions, do not know what to say or think. Come hear renowned Christian scholar Paul Copan address questions like the above – and the other similar questions that you have. We want you to have a mature confidence in the goodness and wisdom of the Triune God! So, bring your questions and your friends!
Plan to attend and have your knowledge of the biblical teaching on these matters sharpened and deepened. Come with your questions! Registration is now open.
