    I think a good teaching approach is to note that all people possess both good and bad traits, and that a nation comprised of persons will naturally exhibit both good and bad behavior.
    Just like the OT. God shows the good, the bad and the ugly of the patriarchs. That is part of what gives it credibility. It is not written like a fairy tale.
