Why does the Old Testament read like a battlefield, and how are we supposed to square that with a God we’re told is love? Chaplain Terry Warner takes that question head-on by going to the place many people skip: Deuteronomy 28 and 29. We read through the covenant curses in plain language and sit with how severe they sound, because you can’t understand the “why” of Old Testament judgment without seeing the warnings that came first.
From sickness and scarcity to defeat, exile, and oppression, the text describes what happens when God’s people refuse to listen and choose a different path. Along the way, we connect ancient consequences to modern realities, not to frighten anyone, but to make the Bible’s moral logic easier to recognize in everyday life. If you’ve searched for answers on Old Testament violence, Bible curses, or why God judged nations, this is a direct, Scripture-heavy walkthrough.
Then we pivot to the New Testament lens: God’s character and the meaning of agape love. We talk through “God is love” (1 John 4), God’s everlasting love (Jeremiah 31), and the surprising welcome for the outsider who wants to come near (Isaiah 56). We also revisit examples where God gives repeated chances to turn back, and we end with a clear focus on free will, salvation, and Romans 10.
