Bible Question:
Will you please give me the Biblical reference for Abraham telling Isaac that he would be the sacrifice? I cannot find it anywhere in Genesis 22. Furthermore, if the only way we can tell whether something is truly from God is whether or not it is ethical, if God does command for murder, then how can we know what is true? What is there to stop Osama Bin Laden from saying that he was correct in the Sept. 11th event if God could also command Moses to kill the men, women, and children in the kingdoms of Heshbon and Og on God's command (Deut. 3:6). According to Bin Laden, Americans are also leading very sinful lives. |
Bible Answer: Abraham did not tell Isaac he would be the sacrifice. During the early days of Israel, God ordered the destruction of many nations. These were His judgments against those nations. We don't often agree with God what is ethical. Osama Bin Laden has his opinion. I would'nt expect to be able to reason with him over anything. Yes, Americans are leading very sinfull lives. more importantly, americans are turning away from God. It would'nt surprise me if God was planning to judge america. So far He's shown great restraint. |
