The story in Genesis chapter 22 is that the crazy old coot lied to everyone to keep them calm while he was carrying out his murderous scheme. He had his greedy eyes on the things he would get for gutting and roasting Isaac. He tied up the kid, threw him on the wood, and was a second away from plunging a knife in his heart. Then he got the call to stop.

If he had thought that he wouldn't have to carry out his evil deed then he was just BS'ing in his preparations. That would make him a hypocrite and he should get his sorry ass tossed into the lake of fire. That guy had zero redeeming qualities.

The crazy coot here is you, you have no idea what the story of Abraham and Issac the promised son to carry on building the nation of Israel is about. Without the son no nation, are you starting to get the picture, the story is about faith and trust that's credited to righteousness. As for the preparation, without it no faith and as for your idea of who Abraham is God doesn't care about your opinion. You are hopelessly blind to what the scriptures teach, how sad.

You did not. You just claimed to know god would never ask you to sacrifice your child and Abraham didn't know that so I want to know how do you know god better than Abraham did?

I actually have the thing Abraham didn't hind sight, God said He would never require child sacrifice.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
