How is showing disloyalty to my own son somehow twisted into showing loyalty to God? Would not a demon whispering out of a shadow tell me to kill my son? Then why does God tell me same thing? The story doesn't make sense to me. How do I show loyalty to a righteous God by performing such an evil heinous act of blood spill and murder on my own kin? This story seems strange. What is the lesson here?
u/CrusaderPepe what do you think about this Old Testament story? Why would a righteous God test our loyalty by asking us to commit such an evil action?
the story goes that before Jesus Christ made the blood sacrifice that you had to make blood sacrifices like this.
Reconciling new testament to old testament is difficult for me.
Have you noticed how in the entire Bible there isn't a single love story? A love story between a man and a woman? Zero.
By contrast, every piece of ancient European literature revolves around a love story, or at least has it as very prominent.
The Abrahamic religions are completely alien to the Aryan blood.
The timeline of events does not support a continuity between the hebrew Old Testament and the Testaments of Christ.
Christ never refers to his father as “Yahweh”.
I heard that story and thought "fuck that shit!"

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?
“The devils greatest trick is convincing Man that God doesn’t exist”? No.
“The devils greatest trick was convincing Man that he was God”
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?
Something to consider.
