Subject: Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son |
Bible Note: 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 |
