So what HE denounced from HIS soul (human sacrifice) HE did ?
Did not GOD himself detest human sacrifice?
oh what a web we weave .
There was no human sacrifice. Can't you read?
Why do you make stuff up? Is that ALL you can do?
God was testing Abraham's heart. Satan was watching.
As we learn from Job (if you can learn this much)... Satan made a wager to the Lord. That if Job was made to suffer as Satan wished, that Job would curse the Lord to his face.
Well? What happened? Job's life was destroyed one inch from death.
Did Job curse God to his face? No, Job knew better and refused and made Satan into a liar.
Where did that leave Satan? It left Satan to be without his excuse for his having cursed the Lord to His face when the Lord was disciplining Satan in attempt to get Satan to repent before it was too late and beyond the point of no return.
Keep in mind. Angels are also "sons of God." Not just men who believe.
And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Hebrews 12:5-7
For a season God disciplined the rebelling angels in a desire to get them to repent. Satan cursed God rather than repent. Satan and the angels following him were finally expelled.
Satan had been using that excuse for his cursing God to his face. That any angel would have done the same (curse God to his face) if made to suffer like he had under God's discipline as a son.
Job's witness was God's rebuttal to Satan's claim.. For we see Job's honoring God while suffering terrible 'undeserved suffering" (Satan's was deserved). In doing so, vindicating the Lord's having condemned Satan!
God had to allow Satan to make Job suffer immensely to shut Satan's mouth about excusing himself.
As far as Abraham and Isaac? Now that was another vindication of God for Satan. But,m I'm not sure you can handle it.
And, I don't want to hear another disconnect of yours making no sense in light of the context of what is stated.
Open offer:
If anyone here is a believer who knows the Lord for Whom He is? If he wants to hear my reason why Abraham was told to offer Issac? To him, or her, I will explain.
As for you asking me to explain? I'm will keep that 'pearl' tucked away in my money bag. For, the Lord warned me about revealing pearls to minds like yours.
