NASB | Genesis 22:12 He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 22:12 The LORD said, "Do not reach out [with the knife in] your hand against the boy, and do nothing to [harm] him; for now I know that you fear God [with reverence and profound respect], since you have not withheld from Me your son, your only son [of promise]." |
Subject: Who was the one to be sacrificed? |
Bible Note: I find it ironic that you would think so. You can look at a previous line of messages I posted with the subject of Jesus/Joseph/Heli or Jesus/Joseph/Jacob. You will see that I have included a thanks for the help and the "satisfactory" answer I got. So I find it ironic that you would even question. Secondly, I can only tell you that being a person who has dedicated much of his life to the study to the relations between religions in general. But Islam and Christianity in particular, I've met with many Muslims and Christianis. Most of the questions I pose here were given to me by Muslims accompanied by the Koranic verses (and the ones given to me by Christians questioning the Koran I give to Muslim scholars). As an unbiased scholar I find it only elementry to ask those more knowledgable about Christianity of their religion, and about Islam of theirs. Thus refering it back to Muslims to appose their views, or to christians to appose theirs. That's why I demand detail from anyone, so my explanation would be satisfactory to the other side. I see no error in that. The other alternative if you wish is to tell Muslims that they're simply right in their accusations without asking people like you. Is that acceptable to you? I do concider the fact that I'll be hated by both Christians and Muslims, but you can't have it all lol. As for what I personally think. Then it'll remain nothing more than what I personally think. If you want I can give you the last "book" I recieved from Muslim scholars and I wouldn't mind you give me your replies to anything you can help me with clarifying. But that's another matter. Here's my email if you do want to discuss this matter more. mistknight@lycos.com Mist |
