(2) The Quran never said that God told Abraham to kill (sacrifice) his son. Instead, the Quran teaches us that Abraham had a dream in which he saw himself slaughtering his son. Abraham believed the dream and thought that the dream was from God (The Quran never said the dream was from God). The choice of the wording in the Quran is crucial. No word was chosen by accident or out of control. Every word and expression was deliberately chosen by God.

(3) Islam never advocated human sacrifice. God would not contradict Himself an order Abraham to commit what he prohibited even as a test.

(4) Prophets are human beings also and as much susceptible to the tricks of Satan as everyone else. God never left this issue unsolved. See 22:52

"We have not send before you a messenger nor a prophet without having the devil interfere with his wishes. But God nullifies what the devil has done, and God perfects His revelation. God is, Omniscient, Most Wise." (22:52)

(5) Because Abraham thought the dream was from God and he proceeded to sacrifice his son Ismail, God sent him the lamb to be sacrificed instead, and to save the son, and the father-son sacred relationship.

(6) No where in the Quran does God say that it was God who told Abraham to sacrifice his son. No where in the Quran does God say He gave Abraham that dream. God does not forget and does not choose His words except for a specific reason.

(7) Those who know God and appreciate Him, know that God would not ask any of us to do evil and commit the gross crime that is severely punishable by God and the human communities.

Hope to See ur Replies Soon

I would not take it so much as a disinterest in Islam, Capt, but more perhaps of their current fascination with that new Gnostic Christian book about to come out called The Gospel of Judas. It is the current hot topic at the water coolers connected to religion and beliefs.

You may call me Auntie if you wish. I am sure it is much better than some things I might have been called by some in some Private Messages.

I am glad you like my post. I was surprised when I came across it as I did not know that some moslims believed the same as some arians that God would never have asked for a human sacrifice, so somehow Abraham was mistaken and that for some reason someone must have erased that he could make a mistake, in hebrew history, as they must have wished to believe he was perfect.

Wow, I never knew that, I was always under the impression that God had told abraham to sacrife his son in order to proof he had faith & obediance to him and then once he was at the sacrificing altar that god came to him and told him never mind because he had proven his loyalty by just taking him up there??

Yes. There are also Reformed Jews who also believe that Abraham was mistaken, as God would never have asked for a human sacrifice by their beliefs also.

this plays a perfect example of how, within the world of the abrahamics, Islam IS the completion and perfection of the message from the god (who not only delivered the final message, but corrected the corruptions man created of the words of the previous prophets).

this means that just like this story not beeing very accurate, there could be dozens of others stories in the bible not beeing interpretated right huh??

Revisionist history is a very popular human pastime.
One needs to do some checking and search with your heart and your head even when reading any historical text written within the last ten years.

history is "revisionist" by nature.

remember it is "his story", and every one has a slightly different perspective on an event.
