1 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214889 | ||
Hi, Thanks for the reply. You said above: "God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering not to "kill" him (Genesis 22:2)." Do you have Scriptural support that a "burnt offering" does not result in the death of the thing offered? |

2 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214890 | ||
Hi Thanks for your reply. Above you said: "we can determine that God did not have any intention in letting Abraham go through with the sacrifice of his son." So are you saying that God did not mean what he said and was lying when 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..." Genesis 22:2 |

3 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214891 | ||
Hi Thanks for your reply. Above you said: "Even if Abraham had Killed his son as you have stated. That act would not have been sin, based on the grounds that there was not at that time, any law about killing, murder, etc." Rom.4:15 Rom. 5:13 Well was not Genesis 9:6 the law concering killing? Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. If Abraham had killed his son would not others at that time been under the command of God to kill Abraham? |

Hi Vintage68, Sorry but this forum is sometimes hard for me to figure out where to reply or post. Sorry my fault. No I am not trying to catch God in a lie. I am trying to understand this passage in the light of James 1. I have someone I am ministering too and they have asked this question. Just trying to find an answer. |

5 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214909 | ||
Hi Steve, I do not know what the test was. But I do know this God told Abraham to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering. That would lead to his son's death of course. Thus his son would die. In SC we would say Abraham killed his son. So what I am trying to find out is: How could God require of Abraham to kill his son by the act of human sacrifice which would be an evil act - when in James 1 Scripture tells us that God does not temp with evil. Nobody seems to have the answer. If you could help I would appreciate it. |

6 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214917 | ||
Hi Vintage68, Wasn't God asking Abraham to kill his son? 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. This seems pretty clear to me. I mean after all did not any other burnt offering that was ever offered result in the death of the thing offered? |

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? |

8 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214925 | ||
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? |

9 | 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? |

Hi John, Thanks for your response. OK I have a friend with big time problems along these lines. So by what you are saying... my friend who is saying that God is telling him to kill someone as an act of proof of obedience to God... that would would NOT be a sin? Since God is telling him to do it. Is that correct? |

Hi Tim, I agree! But why did someone not try and get Abraham some help for the same problem? Did not Abraham have any friends around him that cared? |

Hi WOS, I understand your thinking but upon what basis do you assure me that this test cannot take place again? |

13 | Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son | Gen 22:2 | bibleman12 | 214946 | ||
Hi Steve, Above you said: "We do know God cannot be tempted with evil nor does He tempt anyone (James 1:13). This is clear teaching in the scriptures." I agree. But based on that agreement then you seem to be saying that it is NOT evil to kill your son and offer him to the Lord as a sacrifice. That is very hard fro me to accept. |

Hi John, Sorry but I must have misunderstood you. I thought you said: "So even if God had allowed Abraham to kill his son, (and that is just speculation) it would have been a righteous act, and not a sin." Remember John the word allowed is a weak word - God commanded Abraham to kill his son. Genesis 22:2 "...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..." This is opposed to God's Word in James. James 1:13 "...for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:" Seems to me that either killing your son is evil or it is not. If it is not then it is not evil to kill you son today. (And I of course think that it is) If it is evil then we have a problem with James 1 and Genesis 22. No one here has offered an explanation as of yet for the proper understanding of these two passages. (Me included). (smile) |

Hi Azure, You said: "The scripture said it is a test, then it is a test, period." I agree, you are correct. But does that make it OK to kill your son even though it is God who the one testing you to do it? And would bot that test be a test of evil? |

Hi John, Smug? I thought there were rules on this board about treating others in the Love of Christ! John, you don't know me and have borne a false witness toward me. I do have a friend and he is a Christian who is bipolar. He comes up with these strange beliefs about Scripture. Like saying his family must sacrifice because of God's so called "call" on his life. He does not work but reads the Bible all day long - but comes up with these strange beliefs. His family is suffering and I am trying to help. He has asked this question concerning Abraham and I am trying to get him "NOT a religious answer" but a Biblical answer. To date you are no one else (including me) has been able to offer a Biblical response that makes sense. So before you start judging you should know a little bit more of the facts. Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. |

Hi John, Sorry you seem to be upset, it was not my intent. I know this is a very difficult question, that is why I came here, thinking you folks might could give a Biblical response. To this date after reading every single response I have not seen one response that tells why it was OK for Abraham to kill his son. If I have missed it you are welcome to point it out to me. I have a friend who needs desperately to ave an answer. |

Hi Vintage68, Your calling my question dishonest is very un-Christian. I said only what I need to say to ask the question. I did not say anything further until some members began to say I was only here trying to play games. That dear brother was wrong. So to show that then I gave the "additional" information. My, but you folks are sure ready to jump on anybody that is truly seeking a Biblical response. I have only asked a question that is very difficult to answer, I know that. I have a number of resources I have looked at and have not found the answer as of yet. So if you do not know the answer please do not get upset with me. I don't know the answer either. |

Hi Steve, Thank you for your response. I have Barnes commentary and I read the part that you mentioned above. "But the moral difficulty of human sacrifice is not so removed... Without the divine command, it is needless to say that it was not lawful for Abraham to slay his son." So am I to understand that Barnes is saying that since God commanded it, then God who is over all of creation, it cannot be unlawful. And if God did NOT command it then of course it would still be unlawful? Well that being the case it seems that Barnes and you are saying that "if" God in fact is telling my friend to kill his family members then it is OK or lawful. Is that correct? |

Hi, Of course God is not obligated to answer me in any shape form or fashion. But I thought this was a board where you could get questions answered. Sorry that a difficult question bothers you. |
