Quote:So my question is this: If you were raised in the P/C tradition, would your parents have killed you if they thought God told them to? Did you ever ask them about Abraham and Isaac and what they would do?
Quote:And I think a much more difficult question, if you raised your children in P/C, did you ever ask yourself how you would respond to such a test from God?

Quote:She did, however, have many dreams and "revelations" that she claimed were from G-d, and if one of those had been a command to kill her children, she would have -- especially my youngest brother and me, both of whom she saw as "black sheep"
Quote:Would my mother have killed me? Yes, absolutely. In fact, like Deer, I was always under the impression that my days were limited. She seemed to be always working up to it, talking about how God wanted her kids to be martyrs and such and that she had to be willing to give them up for God.

Quote:The story of Abraham and his willingness to sacrafice his son has always bothered me. It's only been in the last few years that I have wondered if we have made a great mistake in how we viewed this story.

Quote:Later we discussed it and I told him how confusing I thought that would be for our precious little ones and I wouldn't want them to get the idea from that story that God would EVER have us do that type of thing. The thought had never crossed his mind. I asked him what he thought about the story. His defense was that this was OT and now we are living under the new dispensation. That just doesn't make sense to me.
