E1 | Did God Command Genocide? (1 Samuel 15:3)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Few passages trouble Christians—and fuel skeptics—like 1 Samuel 15:3, where God appears to command the destruction of an entire people group. In this episode of Curious Verses, Pastor Jason Jimenez tackles one of the Bible’s most disturbing texts head-on.
Rather than dodging the tension, we slow down and read the passage in its historical, cultural, and biblical context. Who were the Amalekites? What does “devoted to destruction” mean? And how do God’s justice, patience, and covenant faithfulness fit together without compromising His goodness?
If you’ve ever wrestled with hard Old Testament passages—or struggled to answer objections about God’s morality—this episode will help you think clearly, biblically, and confidently about why these verses matter and what they teach.
No fluff. No shortcuts. Just careful insight for curious Christians.
