Everything you said has been thrown out of context. You have accomplished nothing from this other than making yourself look like an idiot In my eyes and in Gods. I hope people read into the verses you said and they can see the true meanings behind the lies youve said. If anyone reads this and is unsure about this. Not everything in the bible is literal. In fact most of it isnt. Analogies and metaphors are used very frequently. Use your mind, think a little and you will see.

@aaronturtle "Use your mind, think a little and you will see." Yeah, you should start doing that yourself mate. If what you said above is true then nothing in the bible has any veracity and should just be considered myth. All of it. Not just most of it because there is no metric to tell them apart. Furthermore most American baptists are biblical literalists (as in everything therein is true) and the message is directed at them, not wishy-washy christians. Bible not literal? Pick a bone with them

This is a story of Abraham's obedience to God, not one of child abuse or human sacrifice, which incidentally did take place throughout the ancient Near East. According to the Old Testament, it was because of child sacrifices and other abominable practices that God was driving out the inhabitants of Canaan (Deut. 12:29-31; cf. 2 Kings 3:27; 16:3; 23:10; Jer. 7:31; 19:5; 32:35). This is how God's ways are our ways.

@jayhanson2 It's a story of monumental abuse of authority on many levels. Its about obeying someone to commit murder, not only that but infanticide. That is great obedience for sure.

[jayhanson2]

For example, the story of the binding of Isaac includes Ge. 22:1-19. Isaac even asks his father in v. 7, “Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham answers in v. 8, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” And after God provided the lamb as Abraham predicted, v.14 concludes, "So Abraham called the name of that place The LORD will provide; as it is said to this day, 'On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.'”

@jayhanson2 Oh, thanks for that. That would have been very useful if it actually addressed the points I raised and didn't sound like gibberish.

[InfectedDaemon]

@jayhanson2 Well, you'll excuse me if you seem to be "yanking passages out of context to make them say whatever we want". How do you know which one is which?

Furthermore, this looks like an appeal to "Might makes right". So God can command everything and anything he wants and it makes it right.

[RaizeMusic]

Mankind's perception of God being evil is hinged around one thing ultimately - ignorance of who He is. It is that simple.

@aaronturtle Can you put the verse about paying the father 1/4 piece of silver if he rapes an un-engaged woman, and then has to marry her? Please share with everybody the divine context that we are all missing out on apparently, regarding exodus 35:2, regarding stoning people who work on the sabbath. Can you provide the context that relieves these passages of their immorality?

People fear to reconcile that God is real,, but yet acknowledge Evil.There is only two factors that effect our lives that we live in.Good & Evil.Now you be your own judge.

*correction to my *correction: the second verb is imperfect not infinitive and thus not a double infinitive. (My Hebrew is rusty and my memory is worse, so I had to check.) The point is doubling of the Hebrew root brk ("bless"), which makes Gen. 22:17 emphatic. Literally the verse reads: "When blessing I will bless you," which most English translations render, "I will indeed bless you."

[jayhanson2]

*correction: double infinitive of the Hebrew in Gen. 22:17 (not "double infinite").

[jayhanson2]

The point is that if we see only abuse and murder in Gen. 22:1-19, we are missing the point of the story, which is to show 1. God will provide a lamb for the sacrifice himself and 2. that Abraham's faith was perfected by his act of obedience to God (note the double infinite of the Hebrew in Gen. 22:17 [ki-varekh 'avarekhka], which makes God's covenant renewal language quite emphatic).

(My comments are a bit fragmented and unrelated to your responses only because I had to break up my comments. Please read all as single comment. Bear with me and I will get back to you when I can. Thanks.) The story is best understood in the larger context of Abraham's life from the time of his calling in Gen. 12 to his death in Gen. 25, especially Gen. 22:15-18 since God there renews his covenant with Abraham.
