If you received a message in your head that you were sure was god , telling you to kill your child , would you do it? We are told that Abraham was the sort of believer that God wanted. Do you come up to scratch?
First and foremost, as most of the many bibles out and about would have the reader believe, there was a man called Abraham (Abram in the beginning). There wasn't...at least not the one in these many bibles.
Second- I have a "living will" that states, in part, that should my mind become so deranged that I begin telling people that god spoke to me, I'm to be immediately put to sleep....permanently!!
So...to preserve my own life....no, I wouldn't sacrifice my child - regardless.
People don't go to heaven when they die; they're taken to a special room and burned.
