Why Did God Command Abraham To Sacrifice Isaac? by OLAADEGBU(op): 3:16pm On May 30, 2017
If God already knew what Abraham would do, why did God still ask Abraham to do it?

So that people can know the reason why God blessed Abraham.

It is simple. God did this so that Abraham would come to know the joy of absolute obedience to the Highest Power of All! If you were a Christian you would not ask this questions.

No, he's asking the question because he "probably" got answers from a so called website that has the final answer. Watch where the answer comes from.... cheesy cheesy grin

A believer may ask the question but will not pursue the answer if it is not to Gods glory. Exercising caution and humility knowing the wrath of God. The Bible tells us: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline (Proverbs 1:7).

Why are you so paranoid that the answer may not be to God's glory? We don't have to bring in our tradition and religion that prevents us from asking imperative questions. Wise seekers of the truth ask questions and receive answers. Don't remain in ignorance because of superstitious beliefs.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15).
