S1 E83 | The Binding: Abraham Sacrifices His Only Son (Genesis 22:1-19) [Featuring: Isaac Soriano]
Manage episode 510174137 series 3460454
The Binding. This is one of the pivotal stories of faith in the Hebrew Scriptures and the life of Abraham.
God asks Isaac to sacrifice his son. His God, a child murderer; why would He ask such a request especially since he promised Abraham descendants rule his son he was asking him to sacrifice.
To God, intense for him, the sacrifice Isaac, or did he intend to not only test Abraham‘s faith, but also show him the exact opposite of what he asked, showing him that he is not like the other gods and hates human sacrifice and bloodshed.
Something really important to listen and look out for is all the connections that prophetically parallel, the life of Jesus!
