Abraham offering is Isaac is definitely something that used to bother me as a child. However when I got older I understood that not only God knew who he was asking to do such an offering (He knew of course beforehand that Abraham would be loyal and Isaac too). Even more interesting is that this is of course very comparable to God offering his own son.

What I didn’t understand until I was better studied: that Abraham knew he wasn’t being asked to kill Isaac in any permanent sense; Abraham believed he would be coming back down the mountain with a living son. As explained in Hebrews, Abraham figured (because he believed God when He said ‘through Isaac your seed will be blessed’) God would just bring Isaac back to life… In other words, he never believed he was sacrificing his son, and Gods never asked for human sacrifice.

I think that it goes even deeper than this. As we know from what Dr. Turek mentioned, other "gods" demanded that their people sacrifice to them their children. So, just as much of the Old Testament Law was intended to set Israel apart from the nations, the test of Abraham accomplished the same thing: As I understand it, God was sending the message that far from demanding the sacrifice of children, He Himself would sacrifice His own Son for us (a complete 180 turn). Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son,” and later in the reading, God does provides a ram. But the lamb that God ultimately provides is Jesus, His own Son, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

One thing that all atheists miss, and unfortunately most Christians, is that Abraham knew he was not going to have to sacrifice Isaac... When preparing for the journey and sacrifice, Isaac asked Abraham where the lamb for the sacrifice was. Abraham said that God would provide the lamb... Abraham was not lying to Isaac! Abraham had faith in God and trusted that God indeed would provide the lamb and not require the sacrifice of Isaac. Again, when Abraham told Isaac that God would provide the lamb, he was not lying to Isaac. Abraham did not understand God's full plan, but he knew through faith that God had a plan and would indeed provide a substitute. God was not "immoral" for commanding the sacrifice of Isaac because it was never the true plan or intent by God. The whole point was to show the plan of substitutional sacrifice by a lamb provided by God (i.e. THE Lamb of God - Jesus Christ). This was a demonstration of the plan of salvation, never at any point was Isaac in true danger of being sacrificed. Abraham understood this this from the moment God gave the command! He did not understand the whole plan of what God (as we often do not understand God's ways) but Abraham had the faith in God to follow His command and trust that sacrificing Isaac was not God's true intention. This passage is not only a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, but also a lesson in faith and trusting that God always has a plan, and that God's plan is always perfect and always for our benefit.

They say unto him, The son of David. ‭Luke 24:26 KJV‬ [26] ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? I'm just trying to point out that it's not wrong to refer to Jesus as just Christ, he has many names, and if someone wants to refer to him as the Christ that's fine, just as if someone wants to refer to him as Christ is fine.

The answer to the question asked requires way more time than Dr. Turek had to give. Generally speaking, those who are anti-GOD don’t really care to sincerely search for true understanding of His Word. They only seek out things in scripture that appear to be contradictions, then go on to formulate “gotcha” questions. If a person truly wants to know GOD they will truly seek, and truly find Him.

The answer should be a resounding yes. He contradicts himself by not saying yes. Of course the bible and Christianity is littered with contradictions, errors and falsehoods.. If god commands you to rape your children and set them on fire you do it with a smile .. after all according to Turek if god commands it it has to be good. Which is absolute vile nonsense but does explain a lot of history.

Excellent job combining the 2 videos into a concise explanation.

Very, very good channel. Thank you for your effort.

Funny thing about trying to debate a person with relative standards... they can move that standard to where they want it to be in the moment. Unfortunately, this seemingly intelligent young man isn't intelligent enough to understand that.

DDOW!!!! I applaud you, sir! Thank you for including the video of Dr. Heiser and his rundown of the underlying context of these events! You are the first person I have seen on YT who operates in this apologetic space to include this in the discussion on this topic and praise God for that! This is what underpins the logic of the apologetics regarding God's sovereign will over these events! This video has made my day. I pray it is intriguing to others to the point that they seek out further understanding of the supernatural context of scripture. Doing so leads to a deepening of faith that is so great because it completes the meta-narrative of the Bible and provides the logical thread that stretches from beginning to end. Thank you for your hard work and for your integrity in following up on comments!! Bless you, brother! All Glory to Jesus!

God had and has every right to eliminate people including the whole world if He chose to since we are all sinners, but in His mercy, He made a way from His own horrible death to save us and all who repent and follow Him. Sometimes you need to "cut out" cancer vs chemo. Once you understand the complexity of why, you would understand. God is Love, but He also demands Justice. If someone murdered your family...you would demand justice. Although as a believer we might ask for God's mercy on that person in hope he/she would believe and be saved. Only God knows and His decision is Just for all.

The phasing of the question (What would you do?) gives Frank the opportunity to avoid addressing the issue. He answers correctly that he doesn't know how he would react in a high stress situation. That's fair. But the better question would be, what *should* he do if God asks him to kill his child?

@TheNationOfTexas

15 күн бұрын

In order to have a balanced scientific answer, we'd need to add a few nuances to that question. Abraham had no children when God promised him descendants. His wife was too old to have kids, so this was a miraculous situation. If Frank saw that the existence of his child was undoubtedly the work of an all powerful God, he would probably have enough faith to say, "yes, I'll sacrifice him to you" with much more certainty of faith. I think our faith is understood in direct proportion to the knowledge God has given us. He doesn't leave us to our own devices and request faith based on nothing. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.

Which is why the entire incident happened in the first place.

Dr Heiser and his work on the supernatural aspect of the Bible have opened up my eyes to truly understanding the big picture So grateful that The Lord allowed me to find his work we need more of his videos and books in churches we think we understand the supernatural aspects of The Bible but we don’t even know trust me his Unseen Realm book and Supernatural book helped me so much very highly recommended for anyone that wants to dive deeper into the text and build your foundation even stronger

All HUMAN BEINGS are FREE to DECIDE and CHOOSE what they WANT - LIES, DECEITS, and FALSE TEACHINGS of ATHEISTS and RELIGIONS OR HONOR and ETERNAL LIFE and EXISTENCE on EARTH The LIE and false claim of Atheists that the Creator doesn't exist and even if existing is still unworthy and undeserving to be honored and respected as the True and Sovereign GOD and the LIES and false teachings of the Pastors and Leaders of Religions about "hellfire", "afterlife", "immortality of the souls", "Armageddon", "Trinity", "rapture", and "reincarnation" will definitely bring nothing but dishonor, disgrace, shame and cause the downfall and ETERNAL DEATHS of Jehovah's Witnesses, SDAs, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Born Again Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, fanatics of all kinds of Religions, and Atheists. The teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" written in Luke 4: 43 will definitely bring honor and the Creator's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4 to lowly, ordinary, kind, and respectful persons on earth who willingly submit to the authority of Jesus Christ in their obedience to what's written in Matthew 28: 18. The teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Resurrection of the Dead" written in John 11: 25, 26 guarantees that loving, kind, considerate, and respectful persons on earth who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's Followers and disciples, and many others will all be RESURRECTED back to life in the Creator's right and proper time so they can live and exist on earth forever as submissive and obedient citizens and subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD" and fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, goodness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.

I love hearing others enjoy Heiser's content! God working through him changed my life by bestowing upon me an awareness of my son of God status since Jesus lives in me. This status changes how I see life and the powerful spiritual "powers"

For those who read the example of Abraham (and the fact that God stopped the sacrifice) we know that it's not something that God *would* ask of us. We have the advantage of thousands of years of scripture to learn about God's nature. Those actually *in* the Bible had very little to go by and had to basically learn about His nature by (often painful and confusing) experience.

Theists: "God can kill infants and babies and it's not evil" Also theists: "God is all loving and the highest moral standard"

If there is a God, which I believe there is, He created all things therefore owns all things and can do as He likes with His creation. The old testament was a direction pointer toward Christ and in Christ, Grace, salvation for one's' soul. The old testament was to establish a basis for good and evil, right and wrong, righteousness and unrighteousness ergo the ten commandments. The ten commandments is the basis for all moral societies. The ten commandments is not the basis for atheism. Atheism has no foundation. Atheism is inherently evil hence the 80,000,000+ deaths (murders) due to communism. God will always judge evil sometimes He does it Himself as in Sodom and Gomorrah or other times people as in allies in WWII against the N A Z I S or the people of Israel against the Canaanites. The fear (respect and honor) of God is the beginning of wisdom. God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

"He created all things therefore owns all things and can do as He likes with His creation. ". Sure, but that doesn't mean God is in the right. If I am a dog owner, I technically own that dog but I still have responsibilities to look after the dog, because it's just abusive to literally do whatever you want without anny care for the actual wellbeing of your property. "The ten commandments is the basis for all moral societies. ". You mean Christian societies. All other societies don't. Though i would doubt it results in moral socities, considering the atrocities Christian societies have committed, like genocides, oppression of minorities, slavery, colonialism. I'm not saying Christian societies cannot do good. For example, they also played a pivotal role in eliminating slavery. But that doesn't eradicate the bad. You cannot just have it your way and only look at the good. Every society does some good, and some bad. "Atheism has no foundation. Atheism is inherently evil hence the 80,000,000+ deaths (murders) due to communism. ". I think you are forgetting that atheism isn't a religion or ideology really. It is simply a form of belief (or rather, lack thereof). So you saying atheists and communists is like me saying muslims are the same as Christians because they both believe in monotheism. They're different religions, just with the same belief in one god. Not all atheists are communists. I'd guess most aren't. I aren't for example. I like democracy a lot. And I argue against all forms of authoritarianism. Also, you are being selective. Most European wars in history, and atrocities by Europeans, have been done by Christians. As a final note, keep in mind that there are more people in the modern day, so obviously casualties will be higher. But the proportion of deaths relative to the overall population could be the same or greater in the past, so it's not all that simple

"There's nothing wrong with genocide if atheism's true" It's hard to believe any human adult actually believes that. If God kills children, it's the moral thing to do? And someone who believes that has the audacity to call anyone else a moral relativist? At least there's not a shred of evidence any of these stories are true.

If you're a materialist atheist who believes we come from the primordial soup and became human through evolution, then you really have no moral claim over anything. Slavery, genocide, rape, or murder can all be seen as the expression of "Survival of the Fittest". There is nothing wrong, then, with culling the weak and propagating the fit. "But it's not good for society!" Based on what standard? "Progress!" Again, based on what standard? I'm assuming it's based on how you and your buddies feel clutching each other's pearls, wagging your finger at GOD. P.S. there's plenty of archeological evidence for what happened in the Bible. For example, they recently found Soddom and Gomorrah glassed.
