About this episode
In this episode, we examine the imprecatory psalms (aka mean psalms!) and discuss what their purpose is and whether we can apply them today. Many Christians have said that imprecatory psalms have no usefulness today. There certainly seems to be a difference between what Jesus said about loving your enemies and the psalms that call curses on the heads of your enemies. Let's talk about it. Time Stamps:
