Greg Koukl responds to the common atheist objection—voiced by Richard Dawkins and echoed by skeptics—that if Christians take the Bible “literally,” they must support executing homosexuals and disobedient children. Greg explains why this misunderstanding fails to distinguish between interpreting the Bible at face value and wrongly applying ancient laws to modern times. He clarifies that the Levitical laws were part of a legal code for ancient Israel under a theocracy and are not binding for Christians today. Greg argues that Christians must understand biblical context to rightly interpret and apply Scripture, and doing so isn’t hypocrisy—it’s wisdom.
