1 | God sanctions murder of the innocent? | Genesis | Rats Feet | 162018 | ||
Aren't you using circular reasoning? The whole point of why Abraham's faith is admired is because he was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac- if he knew that God really wouldn't allow Isaac to die, then the test of Abraham's faith shows nothing. |

2 | God sanctions murder of the innocent? | Genesis | inmyheart | 162021 | ||
No, I'm not using circular reasoning, I quoted the word of God, and it says, Gen 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship AND RETURN TO YOU." (caps to emphasis). The testing of Abraham's faith shows everything, he did not know when God would show up, it just so happened when Abraham was on the downward thrust of the knife that God stopped him. You may even examine your own faith, God may not have responded exactly when you wanted Him to, sometimes it's in that midnight hour, in the last minute of the testing that God shows up. As for me, I'm blessed by that verse, the Bible clearly states that faith comes from hearing.... Romans 10:17. God bless inmyheart 1Cor. 2:5 |

3 | contradiction? | Genesis | Rats Feet | 162030 | ||
I fully agree with you- faith conquers all. However, you mention the fact (in the previous note) that Abraham, in saying, we will return to you, basically KNEW God would show up- or am I mistaken? |

4 | contradiction? | Genesis | inmyheart | 162145 | ||
Rats Feet, Make no mistake, he KNEW! Let's put it this way, God didn't just come up to Abraham one day and ask him to sacrifice his son, no, God demonstrated that Abraham could trust Him. If God could cause Abraham and Sara to have a baby in their nineties, then Abraham could trust God to provide a sacrafice. Abraham did not stagger at the promises of God. God bless inmyheart |

5 | Where is Abraham's test of faith? | Genesis | Rats Feet | 162153 | ||
If Abraham knew God was going to save Isaac, how does it show Abraham's faith? If he did know- the entire mock sacrifice was nothing more than a elaborate set up then. |

6 | Where is Abraham's test of faith? | Genesis | Searcher56 | 162165 | ||
Scripture ... Gen 22:5, Rom 4:11, Heb 11:19 ... It wasn't a mock sacrifice, because Abraham had faith that He would raise up his son. |
