Bible Question: Was Abaham lying to his servants when he said, ...I and the young man will...come again to you? (Gen 22:5)

Bible Answer: I agree with Searcher. Even if Abraham had succeeded in the sacrifice, Isaac would have rose from the dead as he was the promised child. If Isaac did die, and stayed dead, then God would be a liar, and all would be lost of them and us.

This is the 10th and final test of Abraham. He'd been through a lot. The mere fact that Isaac was born of a woman who's womb had died is really no less than a resurrection itself.

Of course, Hebrews 11 confirms all this to be the case.
