Understanding Challenges to Faith

Many individuals, particularly young adults, face significant challenges to their faith when encountering difficult biblical passages. Critiques often center around harsh depictions of God in the Old Testament, prompting questions about morality and divine commands. For example, stories of the slaughter of populations raise doubts about God's character and intentions. Addressing these challenges requires a deeper understanding of scripture and context to reconcile these difficult questions with a cohesive view of God's nature.
