God didn't see it that way, and he was the judge in the matter.
Quote:God commanded it knowing the outcome, and knowing that he would therefore have reason to bless Abraham. Have you actually read the account?None of that makes it something other than conspiracy to commit, and attempted murder. So they did it for a big payout....yeah, plenty of people do the same thing, for the same reason. They still go to jail. Hows it going for abraham and his descendants anyway? As usual, the accomplice gets the shaft, and the head conspirator walks away with the loot. Perhaps if god had afforded Abe the foreknowledge that he had, that every single promise made would be un-kept or worse..Abe would have told him to stuff his shit..like you and I would...probably. OFC, this is all just an establishment legend...so there's no way that Abe would have ever done anything other than what he did. / shrugs
-all of this, and we could have been discussing the good disobediance to divine commands that both you and I agree upon........a real shame, huh? That'd be about a million times more candid and classy than the standard internet apologist schtick. Guess we have more christian onion to peel after all. No nuanced, life, and goodness affirming version of modern christian faith for us today..just retrograde divine command shit.
