A viewer asks: “The book of Acts 13: 13 to 25 (quoting a Catholic Bible source) includes the passage, ‘The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.’ How truthful is this scripture about God destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan and how does it fit with the loving nature of God?” Reference: see April 30thhttps://readings.livingwithchrist.ca/

A viewer asks: “There are so many examples in the Old Testament of God’s people killing the inhabitants of lands that they overtook at the Creator’s suggestion or command—every man woman and child. The Israelites were commanded to destroy several nations, including the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as well as the Midianites. These commands are found in Deuteronomy 20:16–17 and Numbers 31:17. In the case of the Midianites, the Israelites were instructed to kill every man, woman, and child, except for the virgin girls, as recorded in Numbers 31. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all nations destroyed by the Israelites, but these are prominent examples in the Bible. Were these events truly commanded by God? Who was behind all this killing?”
