You're trolling right? You realize that question should be asked by atheists, not Christians. I've covered this question before. My personal answer, no. Even if he proved he existed I would not follow him. His character is a sadistic tyrant. I hate when christians say he would never say that, because he DID many times in the bible. Also, what gives them justification to know what god would and wouldnt do, they admit over and over god is incomprehensible, so how can they even judge he's good in the first place? And to any Christian that would not listen to god if he told them to do something like sacrifice their child, what that does is prove that we do not use god as a moral barometer; that we know on our own that there is a line that even they won't cross, and yet will still foolishly defend it. |

By wat means wld God require us to do such big thing different from our sacrificial service to him. Didn't Jesus say in Matthew 16 :24 that "If anyone wants to follow me, let him disown himself and take up his torture stake and keep following me"? Dis is the standard or benchmark of faithfulness or true worship. It involves daily making choices of service to God in a sacrificial way. From ur job that doesn't honour God, to the type of movies u watch, how u refused to pursue being vindictive to doz who hurt u. How u wld rather be cheated for the sake of the gospel thru ur conduct. If wat u ar talking about is different from the above, then I fear ur understanding of wat "test" is may be limited to "give ur one month salary to the man of God", which makes OP a sheeple Besides, James 1:13 say God doesn't test us . OP, awon Omo sheeple |

hopefulLandlord:is it not funny, some say God is unfair to judge without a trial while some others say God doesn't know all things that is why he puts us on trial. so God puts up a trial to prove to all lesser beings that he is just, does he have to, nope but he wants to. why? to teach us to trust him. Ah well we are stubborn to learn ain't we i mean why does a teacher ask me 2+2 if she doesn't know the answer. i think it's more important that i discover what i need to learn and know. God called Job just, none could see why, so God used a test to reveal why. God favored Abraham but why, none knew why God chose Abraham till he revealed why. God rejected Esau, oh none knew why, he is so unfair till he revealed why. before God proves a thing, he declares it that's why he is GOD. |

James 1:13, "......God does not tempt anyone" and if you are being tested/tempted (by whoever) He will not allow us to be tested/tempted beyond our carrying capacity 1 Cor 10:13. |

ybalogs:k Read this recently and to be honest I wondered why. What was the point of the test if you already knew Abraham would kill Isaac? Why do it? God had nothing to prove or benefit? Imagine the trauma Isaac went through being tied up and placed on an altar. Jeez. I wonder how isaac looked at his old man after the test knowing that this man was going to kill you just some hours ago. That would be one wierd trip home. |

kingJoya: In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen even now and forever more Amen I was asked to go into a building with barbed fence to pray, initially the thought of trespassing came into mind, about passing to ignore the message, it came even stronger that an entrance opened,finishing the prayers people came out and asked how I got in, tried showing them where I got in through but it was sealed. how did it happen, I don't know, only God knows. I bet you, I received the worst beating of my life. The police man almost fractured my joint with batons,thank God it was just pains and nothing more. I was asked to get a massage but I objected to it. I became naturally healed. God is still working in our time. Let thanks and praises be to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen, in the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen Now and forever more Amen |

salvation101: You first have to believe the scriptures as it is. James 1:13 is an epistle and is as clear in thought as ABC. God doesn't test/tempt any man. That is the stand of the scriptures. Abraham issues you pointed to was an historical event of which the correctness of its interpretation rely on clear teachings (not events) of the scriptures. James 1:13 is not an event or personal experience, it's an epistle, scriptural teaching on which all experiences and events are proven. You must take the apostolic teachings (epistles) at face value (no double interpretation) of its context, and no twisting to justify events in the OT. James gave you what causes temptation in verses that follows. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 13- No one should say he's tempted of God, God tempt NO MAN (including Abraham) 14- Every man is tempted through his OWN lust (that leave the cause of temptation to man's choice) 16- Don't fall into error (this type here of misinterpretation of who God is) 17- This is our God - Giver (not tempter or tester) John 3:16, Rom 8:32 - Gives good gift (good means good), not temptation of test. He freely gives (Charis) Rom 8:32, even to the unjust Matt 5:45 - Father of light implies no darkness in him. - No variables nor cast shadow, He doesn't change. If the scriptures says he doesn't tempt or test, it means he has never done so before and will never do so. His light doesn't cast shadows. His gift doesn't come by conditions or by testing. It's men that changes, God doesn't. |
