Subject: Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son |
Bible Note: God is in fact not telling your so-called friend to kill anyone. So your question is completely irrelevant, calls for speculation, and is in fact, inappropriate for this forum, which is solely intended for Bible study, nor is it appropriate for any other form of serious Bible study. I don't know what your motivation is, nor do care, but will you please put an end to this ridiculous line of questions? As I have said before, sir, if your so-called fried has said that he is hearing from God that he should kill, then it is my sincere opinion that he should seek professional help. As for you, sir, if you do not see the logic of the answers given to you. I would suggest to you that you spend more time studying God's word, and pray that He graciously reveal His truth to you, 'before' you go out and try to witness to others. (i.e. if indeed that is what you are doing) Given the nature and timing of your responses, they raise serious doubt that you have had time to try these answers on your so-called friend, or even consider that there may be some truth in them before you responded to them negatively. Questions of this stripe, are not edifying to anyone, if the answers are not humbly accepted with a heart that is willing to be taught. What you have been doing is going around in circles. And now you are bringing into question the very Christian character of those posting to you. Sir, the premiss of the question itself, goes against the nature of God. And until you see that, there is little reason that I can see for anyone to continue this discussion. It seems very much to me, sir, that your questions and notes are an attempt to foster debate. Please desist. |
