God told him to do it and that makes it right. Yet you find it difficult to answer when asked if you would kill your son if God asked you to do it.

God cant ask anyone to attempt killing his child in this age/dispensation . The question was if I was Abraham , and I said " I dont know"

Boko Haram believe they are killing for God, they can quote their quran to justify their action just the way you are quoting bible to justify Abrahm attempting to murder his son.

Mr. Man anybody can kill and claim its God . I proved that God actually spoke to Abraham . Which is evident in real life - The life and purpose of Christ and the population of modern Israel

You need a whole year lecture on what morality is son.


From an atheist ? Why not

Was it that obvious? grin

What Abraham did was right at the same he is running away from emulating Abraham in doing the right thing..




the illustration of God said then it is right is more like..

>>Killing your Siblings is wrong but if your mum tells you to do it then it is right..<<

Religion clouds people's mind in simple objectivity when it comes to moral ethics as long as it has to deal with the flaws in their moral compass, they'd defend it none the less.

the thread is a wonderful case study that i'd like it to stay afloat for more people to read and judge for themselves.

Care to elaborate?

God is eternal and has been existing as three entities . These entities are called the Godhead or Trinity - The Father , Son and Holy Spirit . Muslims claim the trinity is a construct of Christianity obviously to validate their religion .

Religion being fallible (arguably) does not preclude God's existence

Ebuka, if God asks you to kill your son like he told Abraham what will you do. This question is arising based on the fact that your God has actually asked someone (Abraham to do it before). this has nothing to do with any dispensation or what God can do. You can't answer the question simply proves you are being dubious.

You never proved God actually spoke with Abraham. You just repeated what the same bible that started the rumor said. You are not wise in anyway, I am just sorry for u. The life and purpose or Christ and the population of moden isreal is not a prove that God spoke with Abraham stop talking trash.

That's weird, why would there be negatives in a 'perfect' book that was inspired by a 'perfect' god?

So because its perfect there must be no negative fight ? Wrong. Take the perfect kill for instance, it's negative but it's still perfect.

Abraham was not even a christian.....he knew no trinity....wondering how he became the christian father of faith.

Religion is indeed a toxic to the mind.

And how does love preclude hate ? Doesn't God talk of what he hates eg sin ? Does not loving a thing mean hating another. Like loving a babe and hating her cheating on you.

Does loving a babe mean you should ask her to kill her loved ones to prove how much she loves you?

Gen.12 : 2-3 (Old Testament )

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves."
Romans 4:14-17 ( New Testament written centuries after )

14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

Can you provide proof that Abraham had no knowledge of the Trinity .

It seems that if you guys cant just comprehend something in the Bible , you conclude that it is deleterious to the mind .

You are just forcing yourself not to believe . Do they give trophies for being an atheist

As if the definition of perfection can't change given times and perspectives, like yours. But must Gods knowledge be synonymous with your understanding of perfection. How many tastes will God have to cater to to be perfect ? I guess He'll never be perfect in such a a case.

It constantly amazes me how little Christians know about their holy book. Whether it’s faithful ignorance, wilful ignorance, or they simply choose to put on a brave face in the midst of adversity, you will never hear a fundamentalist Christian say that the Bible is anything less than the word of God.
Any honest, thinking person reading through the bible cannot ignore the blatant misogyny and barbarity towards women, but most Christians are bible illiterates – they only hear the palatable verses from the pulpit and blindly accept that the bible emanates goodness.
The simple fact is, it doesn’t. Certainly, when you go to church, all you will hear is the message of love. And sure, those verses are in the Bible, but so are a litany of examples of intolerance – sexism, racism, homophobia and cruelty – that reflect the Hebrew society of that time.

Which begs the question, why take your moral code from only parts of the Bible? If you don’t agree that wives should submit to their husbands, women should be silent, or that the pain of childbirth is punishment for Eve’s original sin, or even justification for attempted murder (let alone, all of the sexual abuse) why hold the Bible in such high esteem. Surely, there are more modern works that better reflect your own moral code? Or perhaps, just perhaps, you already know what’s right and wrong, and don’t need a book to tell you that at all…

Since God is perfect, would you kill a loved one if he tells you to?

Something cannot be perfectly positive at the same time positive... Unless such a thing cannot exist.

PERFECTION means precise, needs nothing else so if your God is Perfect in a positive way there cannot be any negative characteristics attributed to it if it is perfectly negative then there cannot be any positive characteristics attributed to it.

Something perfectly negative at the same time perfectly positive is impossible and cannot exist...

So you must decide which perfect your God is...

The perfect kill is perfectly negative and can never be said to be perfectly positive..

Something needs to be done about these Abrahamist homicidal maniacs. These people are just too demented... isn't it about time that Abrahamism is declared a dangerous mental illness? No government would permit a deadly disease to spread throughout a nation. They would impose a quarantine and eliminate the disease!

It's hightime we faced the facts regarding Abrahamism - it's a lethal, communicable virus... an apocalyptic death cult that has no place in any civilised society. Over and over again it proves that it is completely incompatible with the modern world and with any concept of human rights. This is the 21st century. How much longer can we tolerate retarded belief systems that convert human beings into brainwashed killers?
