Had I been Abraham, I don't know what I would have done. Thankfully, the Lord has not asked me to do any such thing and I doubt very much he ever will.
That was before the law was given. Now it would be a contradiction to be commanded to murder--even if you thought God would raise the person up again. I don't think we should consider a contradiction from God as a possibility.
