Q
Why did god ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac (Abrams son)
A
God wanted to test Abraham and see if he would listen to him. So he asked him to kill his son as a sacrifice for him. So Abraham lied to Isaac to get him to the mountain in order to kill him. But as soon as Isaac was going to die, god said ‘ Do NOT kill Isaac!’ He said that because he knew Abraham was trustworthy and able to do anything he asks.
