If you read what Yahweh does and have to come up with some convicted pretzel logic to tie that to Christ and “The Truth” and “The Father”, you’re a spiritual jew.

"Hey, you, over there. Kill your son to demonstrate loyalty to me." - mysterious voice out of nowhere
"Let me think about this. Okay. hey son, come here" - Abraham with an axe
I contest that it requires pretzel logic to explain this from your standpoint.
Why does this righteous God thirst for blood spill?
Someone who is willing to kill their own son is not someone I would consider "loyal", right?
And also, wouldn't a righteous God ask you to do something wonderfully GOOD to prove your loyalty to a RIGHTEOUS God? Why would a righteous God ask you to commit an evil heinous act? And then consider you, loyal?, because you were willing to go through with it? LOL What kind of pretzel logic is this?
Because people refuse to acknowledge that a bunch of rabbinical jews demanded their torah books be stapled to the testaments of Christ after Saint Marcion compiled them in 144 AD.
“The devils greatest trick is convincing Man that God doesn’t exist”? No.
“The devils greatest trick was convincing Man that he was God”
You can take it or leave it but I used to have the same take; that God was arbitrary and unfair.
More recently I've tried to see God as more of a force of nature (or THE force of nature) and things make a lot more sense.
Having a God tell you to kill your own son as a test of faith seems insane, but what about nature itself requiring you to sacrifice you son to a seemingly unwinnible position (ie having kids today when you know the system is against them)?
The way I think of it is: here's life. It's so messed up that it seems as though bringing kids into such an evil world is itself an evil act. But feeding them, knowingly, into the meat grinder is the only way to make the world any better. As a bonus, *maybe* they won't be a sacrifice after all, maybe they'll be instrumental in changing things for the Good?

So Abraham is to give his son as sacrifice as did God give his Son for sacrifice? only God spares Abraham's son, but carries forward in the sacrifice of His own son for the saving of those who believe? I think that parallel does make more sense to me now. Thanks
There must be some kind of bond between a father and his son that makes it the ultimate sacrifice. A bond that black men don't seem to feel for their sons, LOL since they are abandoning sons every day all day.
>Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Something to consider.
