Love me or else (Part Two) (Where is it now?)
Again, it is not me putting a spin on it. It is exactly what is written there. Now, you might wonder WHY Abraham had to be tested, after he had been called righteous and so-on earlier. The reason is that he had shown some incredible lapses of faith early on, doubting that YHWH would provide him an heir, calling Sarai his sister instead of his wife, etc. So, YHWH made him prove his faith.-I agree with pretty much every assessment you have given about your interpretation of all these scriptures, Tony, but as I said before, in my post before this one, I've evolved my thoughts since this study, which was many years ago. -A question I asked myself back then, and now ask you: Why would God, who has created all things and knows every hair on every head, and knows our thoughts even before we think them, would have to test Abraham to find out if he would be faithful to Him? Some say it wasn't done to prove to God but to Abraham, and/or to the future followers and readers the extent of Abrahams faithfulness. But Abraham would have proven his faithfulness to God no matter what, eventually, anyway, as he was faithful to God, and his life, that was to be recorder in the scriptures, would have proven that out, even without this incident. And, God could have at any point at any time declared his blessings to him and his offspring before his death. -I believe God was out to prove that Abraham would obey his "voice" and nothing more. But why did God not already know this?
