Listen to this episode from Yūgen To Ikigai on Spotify. Cliffe Knechtle- Is The Biblical God A Monster In Cliffe Knecktle's debate on "Is the Biblical God a Monster?", he addresses the challenging question of God's actions in the Bible, especially those that seem harsh or difficult to understand, such as instances of violence or punishment. Knecktle argues that while some of these actions can appear troubling, they need to be understood in their historical and theological context. He suggests that God’s actions in the Bible are rooted in justice, holiness, and love, and that God's ultimate desire is to restore humanity, not to harm it. Knecktle emphasizes that the biblical narrative reveals a God who is not a capricious monster but a righteous and loving being who desires justice, mercy, and reconciliation. He invites people to consider the broader context of God's redemptive plan, where God's justice is balanced by grace and His actions are always aimed at bringing about a greater good.(Music- https://www.youtube.com/@nobodyplaylists - "Music For When You Have A Deep Existential Crisis In The Shower"
