Bible Question (short): God sanctions murder of the innocent? |
Question (full): If the only way we can test whether someone or something is of Christ is by testing his actions against the Bible, then surely God commanding Abraham to kill Isaac is "ungodly"? If a rather person came to tell you that God had told him to tell you to kill your child, surely you would not believe he was "of God"? How can God sanction the murder of innocent people? People can argue that God really didn't mean for Abraham to kill Isaac, yet obviously Abraham killing Isaac would have been the right thing to do, so there is no difference. |
