Deconstructing the Monster God: Is the Old Testament Wrong?

If you read the Old Testament literally, let’s be honest: God sounds like a monster. He orders genocide, sends bears to maul children, and flies into a rage at the slightest provocation. For years, we were told this was a "mystery" we just had to accept. But what if your moral disgust at these passages isn't a sign of a lack of faith? What if it's actually your intuition telling you the truth? In this video, we explore the "Dirty Mirror" theory—a concept from 18th-century mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. We look at how the ancient writers might have projected their own violence onto the Divine, creating a "Bipolar God" that has confused Christians for centuries.
