1 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214922 | ||
Hi WOS, I am truly sorry but I do not see the answer. Please help me. Why was it not wrong for God to tempt Abraham to kill his son? |

You are changing what God tells us took place. He didn't tempt Abraham, He tested him. Until you quit switching the words, you won't understand. It is an example to us of what real faith is. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:17-19: 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,18 of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Hi WOS, OK Why did Go "test" Abraham to kill his son? Isn't it a sin to kill your son? Isnt this evil? and isn't that what God said he would not do in James 1? |

He didn't test him to kill his son. He tested his faith. The condition of the sacrifice was to test his faith. Abraham knew God would provide. I can't break it down any more simple than that. Sorry. Stand in His grace, WOS |

5 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214927 | ||
Hi WOS, Thanks for your kind response. Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. In this verse can we agree that God asked Abraham to offer his son as a burnt offering? And can we also agree that if Abraham had carried through with God's request that this would have resulted in Isaac's death? |
