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