just a thought not an anti-sermon |
God orders Abraham to kill Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham shows his love for God by his willingness to murder his son. Abraham shows his willingness to kill his son for God. Only an evil God would ask a father to do that; only a bad father would be willing to do it.
"Now I know that thou fearest God..." This is an odd statement from God, who supposedly knows everything. If God knows the mind and heart of all humans, then why did he have to test Abraham to find out what was in his heart?
I'd definitely tell anyone who thought God was telling them to kill someone to go see a doctor and make sure they're on the right meds.
