Obama Speech on Religion

Again your missing the point it isn't a test of faith if you know something. After you have knowledge of something it is no longer based in faith but facts.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Just ask Jim Jones, David Koresh, Andrea Yates, and that lady who cut off her baby's arms because God told her to how obeying God's every command worked out.

He's a liberal christian, who has attended a cultic radical black liberation theology based church for 20 years. Liberals deny all the essential teachings of the christian faith so him being an Atheist is not much different.

Read your bible again. Abe had Isaacs head on a stone and was ready to slit his throat. This is what a sacrifice is. You can pray to a sick imaginary friend if you wish, but don't try to justify it. By the way, how do you justify god drowning babies and small children during the great flood? Or watching (all seeing) children being sodomized (all knowing) and doing nothing to intervene? (all powerful) You, my friend, pray to a sick god indeed.

He was told to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering. But God didn't say exactly what kind of sacrifice, if it was spiritual or not. OR that He intended abraham to go through with it. God was testing him to let him demonstrate that he was WILLING to sacrifice his son, ie give up or commit his son to God. Gen 22:5 Abraham said he would come back down with his son after the sacrifice was made. vs 8 he says God will provide the offering. vs 12-13 +15-16 clarify the intent of the test.

So no, you're wrong, the point was whether he was WILLING to offer his son as a sacrifice to God, NOT whether he was going to surely murder him or not..ie to commit what is is very important to him to God in a real and challenging way. You take it out of context because you have a bias against it being true. You have a motive to not wanting it to be true for whatever hurt you've gone through which is understandable.

But if he was willing he would have to kill him or try to you can't prove your willingness by saying you would do something or stop befor you do it. To him God wanted his son dead it was not to prove anything when he was going to murder his child.

No. He was willing to sacrifice him, give him up, and the New Testament says Abraham reasoned that even if God had him kill him He was HAVE to raise Him from the dead because He already promised that he would have a lineage by his son. This is why he said they BOTH would come back down ALIVE. So he understood it as a test because God not only already promised he'd remain alive, and God cannot lie, and also because God doesn't command but condemns child sacrifice and murder.
