Free Moral Agency ?
This begs the question: Is the God of the Bible All knowing ? All Powerful .All Loving ?
The Bible implies He is NOT.
How can Yahweh be All knowing if he demands Abraham sacrifice his only sononly to give His reprieve when Abraham raises the knife for the killing blow ? Didn’t HE already know what the outcome was, before HE even asked Abraham to kill his son ? Even if this was a loyalty test of Abraham’s devotion to Yahweh, an all knowing Entity would NOT NEED this test. HE knew all along the loyalties and priorities in Abraham’s heart.
So why did HE do it ? is HE cruel ? ..sadistic ?
Then HE isn’t an All Loving God.
Could it be that this was just a morality tale, to instill piousness in the ancient Hebrews ? and had nothing to do with actual events ?
Why else would an Omniscient, Omnipotent being behave as if HE were thug from a primitive, neolithic hunter gatherer society ?
It makes one wonder why the Bible portrays God as less than Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omni-benevolent.
I suppose that, rather than reading the Bible LITERALLY, we could try INTERPRETTING the meaning into something other than what the Bible implies. However, many Christians would be offended by that.
