21 | 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 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? |

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? |

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? |

25 | 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. |

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. |

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 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 |

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? |

When God told Abraham to kill his son... why was that not sin and why was that not tempting Abraham to sin? Which would be against what God said in James chapter 1 about God NOT temping any man with evil. | ||||||

Hi John, Thanks for the welcome as well. You seem to really understand the problems with relationships with various people groups. Do you attend a interracial church? |

Hi Cheri, Your welcome is very thoughtful. I was beginning to think that no body wanted me on this forum. I agree concerning the masterpiece. Sometimes I think about our church as a bouquet. An arrangement with many different colors of flowers. While a lot of things have changed for my people in the last few months, still it seems that many churches are still isolated with one race on Sunday morning. |

Hi John I agree. It just seemed that some where saying that they did not like the writings of Watchman Nee who is Chinese. I was simply trying to say that sometimes when people complain about not being diverse they themselves do not fully understand others they do not associate with. I attend a church that has white people in it and we all get along just fine. |

Hi all, You know I go to an interracial church that has many denominations in it. I am not a racist. How many of you folks attend a interracial church? |

Hi Doc, Your response is fine... I just thought that sense you had said you rejected Watchman Nee's writings that you would have had a specific reason why. That way I could also look into his writings myself and reject it as well if he was in error. If you happen to come up with something that you can quote I would be happy to hear it. I particularly like Nee's emphasis on "reckoning ourselves dead in Christ and alive unto God" based on Romans 6. That teaching has helped me greatly to honor our Lord in a life free from sin's dominion. |

Hi Doc, I don't think I know what you are talking about. I certainly don't want to offend anyone. What did I say that offended you? |

Hi Azure Just a couple of points here: If you can get "The Spiritual Man" book by Watchman Nee you will see that for the most part he is right on target. The idea that some have that "spirit and soul are unseparable" is not Biblical. Scripture teaches us in Hebrews 4:12 that the soul and spirit may be divided. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Another problem of Nee's teaching is his view on local church planting and its polity. Nee insisted one church one region and he strongly refuted and rejected denominationalism, thus caused more division instead of better unity. While I would agree that denominations have done more to divide the body of Christ than most demons have done... The followers of Nee that I have met do seem to be overboard on home churches and the like. |

HI Doc, I have not read The Normal Christian Life by Nee. Could you share a bit of what you found un-biblical in the book? |

Hi John, Sounds like the folks at http://www.apologeticsindex.org/n01.html know very little about Watchman Nee. His writings were of course written in Chinese and sometimes in the translation things are lost. You would do well to actually read a man's works before you make a decision to reject him. Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. |

Hi John, Thanks for the excerpts concerning the soul. I am familiar with the idea that the soul is the seat of the emotions and would agree. Have you read the book "The Spiritual Man" by Watchman Nee? It is one of the best books out there that deals with the Spirit, Soul and Body of man. |
