Zone1 If there is no God, there is no justice

Here is my take.

During the time of Abraham, it was commonplace to sacrifice your children to the gods. So, that is probably why Abraham did not think it an odd request and did not bother to even put up a verbal fight over it. And at the end of the day, Abraham was cognizant of the promises God had made concerning the future of Isaac, which would have all been made null and void had he gone through with it.

My guess is that Abraham reasoned that maybe God would have resurrected him had he gone through with the sacrifice, because he trusted God not to be a liar.

The story may seem absurd and cruel to us but back then the message was clear. God does not demand the sacrifice of innocents as other pagan religions around the world did at that time. In fact, God hates it as he later commented how he hated how the Canaanites sacrificed their children to the God Molech, which is one of the major reasons God removed them from the Holy Land.

Like it or not, the Biblical God stopped child sacrifice, so deal with it

Are you aware that Isaac was a grown man when Abraham was asked to offer him as a sacrifice? Josephus says he was twenty-five. Others put his age as high as thirty-seven.

Interesting.

No, I did not know that.

I can't get past the fact that you are giving props to the atheist nations of the 20th century. They only murdered 100 to 200 million people. Maybe we should give it another chance.

It was more like man's transition from polytheism to monotheism. Which wasn't an event as it occurred over thousands of years.

Christianity is not a monotheistic religion, polytheism is still alive and well in the world, and older than Christianity.
