Christians, would you do as Abraham did and obey God's order to murder your only child?
For those who aren't familiar, the story goes like this:
God: Hey Abraham, take your miracle baby Isaac and go kill him on an altar for me, k? Abraham: Will do, Lord✌
So Abraham gets up early the next morning, grabs Isaac and they start making the long journey to Moriah where God wants Abraham to murder his only child.
Isaac: Hey Dad? Abraham: Yes, my dearly loved son? Isaac: Uh....we didn't bring a sheep or anything to sacrifice. Abraham: Don't worry about it, kiddo😉
They finally arrive at Moriah whereupon Abraham builds an altar...
Isaac: Great altar, Dad! Now where do- wait what are you doing?!
...and ties Issac down onto it. He then takes his sacrificial knife and prepares to kill the son whom he loves dearly. But at the last moment an angel appears!
Angel: Hey Abraham actually stop tho. This was just a test, bud! Great Job! Abraham/Isaac: ..... *visibly traumatized*
And then Abraham spotted a ram caught in some bushes and cut that bad boy up for the Lord. Hurray! And lo, the walk home was pretty fucking awkward.😓

Soooo no, you refuse to answer the question. Duly noted😘
lol it's just a hypothetical. It's rather telling that you'd rather make excuses for why this scenario wouldn't happen rather than answer a simple question if it did happen. My guess is that for all your performative piety, you don't think you'd be faithful enough to follow an order like that and that makes you uncomfortable. But instead of sitting with that discomfort and thinking about what it means...you attack me. And you're the only one attacking here. I didn't try to discredit god's word. I didn't tell you that you were wrong for believing in god...all i did was ask if you had the faith that Abraham had and it's rather odd that this has made you so angry. Pray on that
WELP, i think we're about done here, sweetheart. Unless you were gonna grow a pair and just answer the question😏 Anything you'd like to add?
@Pikachu if Jesus appeared before you just like the Bible says He appeared before Paul, would you obey him and repent and change your life just like Paul did? Hypothetically of course.
