    I thought the whole point of Abraham dragging his son up to the mountain to be killed was to prove that this God would never ask you to sacrifice your child for him?

    That was soet of his biggest selling point, if my history serves me right.

      I remember the story from Sunday School, but in our church we were taught that the ‘point’ was to always obey God without question. Like, even if God’s instructions seem insane, do it anyway, maybe He’s just messing with you?
