[QUOTE="jayem, post: 73884062, member: 8344"] To whom is this being demonstrated? The text says that God was testing Abraham. Wouldn't God, who is supposedly omniscient, know already that Abraham is faithful and obedient? If I understand, it sounds like you're saying this legend is a fable. To me, a fable is a fabricated story. It tells of an event that was made-up to teach a lesson. Which in this case, is that God does not demand human sacrifice. Even from a man of such surpassing faith as Abraham. Though it still implies God isn't sure of Abraham's faith. And if this story is only fabulous, then what else in the Bible is made-up? Maybe the creation accounts, and the disobedience of Adam and Eve are also mythic. [/QUOTE]
