Is God a Moral Monster? How can I make sense of the Old Testament God? with Dr. Paul Copan
Is the God of the Old Testament morally evil? Why do some people view the Old Testament God as a malevolent monster? How can I reconcile a God of love with what I read in the Old Testament? An interview with Dr. Paul Copan.

Greetings in Christ JESUS Les Brewer Hope that all is well with you and your family.
I think you know that English is not my native language, and more or less I can write messages in English with the help of a Dictionary and Google Translater. Conversation I am zero. So, I don,t understanding that that is spoken. That said I do not know what is spoken by the above vídeo. But based in your description and questions, I am forced to comment about the questions, as follows:
Question: Is the God of the Old Testament morally evil? Well, the Word is GOD. So, is the Word morally evil?
Question: Why do some people view the Old Testament God as a malevolent monster? Because they are demons, that is the language of the devils. Revelation 13:v.5-6 reveals: 5 - And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies ... 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against GOD, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Question: How can I reconcile a God of love with what I read in the Old Testament? An interview with Dr. Paul Copan. By His righteous Judgments. Why does He CURSED the Devil? Why does He cursed the earth? By the waay, the earth was cursed because of man? Why the woman was severely punished? And later gives birth to a MONSTER, Caim? By the way, the MAN Beast of sea -Revelation 13 - is a MONSTER having seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his 10 horns ten crowns, and upon his 7 heads the NAME of blasphemy. ----~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~----
Regarding the video, I found the title adopted on the cover of the video to be very terrible and sad. To make an illustration and likeness of our GOD, or to suggest, as if He were a biblical MONSTER, this makes no sense and is a terribleand evil comparison, very harmful to the evangelical community. Even because the Word is God, God is the Word, how can we say that the Word is an immoral MONSTER? What a most absurd title, and very dangerous for the author of this sin even now at the Judgment, the righteous Judgments of God.
As a believer in Christ JESUS, I love GOD, my GOD, I don' share and will never share with this kind of evil ilustration and manifestation.
Very sad

Hi my friend - 'Friends of Jesus' is here to help all people (including non Christians) to find answers to their questions. A common question or statement that a non-Christian will present, 'is God is a moral monster?' - They will home in on random portions of scripture to present a case that He is evil. This is the same set of people that will state to you that there is no God. So they contradict on what they believe. They say the God that they don't believe in is a moral monster. Does not really add up to what they are stating.
Anyway, the above is a podcast to try and answer the non-Christian question and prove like you have done there that God is anything but.....
Below is an article based on what the podcast was hinging on.

If we think rationally after reading what the evil say, according the comments above, we can say that if malevolent men manifest and rise up against GOD, it is because He exists, of course; Ah ha ha ha, if GOD didn't exist they wouldn't be busy saying literally or verbally that GOD doesn't exist, and besides still talking many other things so much evil against GOD to emphasize the evil tone adopted by them. Nobody talks or comments on things that don't exist, of course, why would they do it like someone demented/insane?
On the other hand, comparing the insane theory of the insane men, with what JESUS and others say according the Word of GOD, as follow:
Mark 10:v.18 and Matthew 5:v.48-Jeremiah 10:v.10 and 2 Corinthians 13:v.8, among others: Speaking of His Father, JESUS said: ... there is none good but one, that is, GOD - Mark 10:v.18;
JESUS said: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect - Matthew 5:v.48;
Jeremiah preached: But the Lord is the true GOD, he is the living GOD, and an everlasting King:... Jeremiah 10:v.10
GOD is the Truth. Paul Apostle said: We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth - 2 Corinthians 13:v.8.
Isaiah 40:v.22 - GOD is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. NOTE: heavens is not the physical space of the Universe, but celestial places in Christ according the Word of GOD - Ephesians 1:v.3 and Philippians 3:v.20-21, among others.
