RE: On Non-belief

April 15, 2013 at 8:37 pm

Abraham and Isaac, hmmm...tough puzzle and probably the most perplexing and disturbing one of all. What strikes me about it is this. Child sacrifice was a practice found in Canaan. Abraham would not have been surprised that a typical god would make such a request. God's bait and switch seems to me like a way to 1) test Abraham's obedience, while at the same time 2) setting worship in a different direction and 3) revealing to Abraham the difference between the Lord and the gods of other nations. Those are just my thoughts...not terribly profound given the subject.
