Subject: Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son |
Bible Note: Hi bibleman Why do you equate the SACRIFICE of Isaac to God an evil act (sin)? The other places where the sacrifice of children are mentioned are only in relation to false gods, idols. I added brackets. This was the test, and the culmination of it. Gen.22:10-12 10.) And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11.) And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12.) And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: (for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.) Vintage68 |
