Subject: Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son |
Bible Note: Hi, OK "God is in fact not telling your so-called friend to kill anyone." But since God is no respecter of persons would you say the that: "God did not in fact not tell Abraham to kill anyone." You see the point that seems to be missed here is my friend who I have know for over 25 years is using this passage to justify his sin against his wife and children. He is a good man in many ways, it is just his thinking of late has become extremely erratic and nuts. As a friend I feel obligated to help him if I can. I am a Christian and I beleive the Word of God and no matter what he says my faith will not be shaken. But his is! And I must find a way to show him that God is NOT unjust and that Genesis 22 and James 1 can be reconciled. I am very sorry I have not been able to communicate it well in that a number of you are seeming to pile on me and trying to drive me from this board. Someone who visits this board told me that you were all very polite and very understanding. I am beginning to think he was wrong. |
