No, my dear, it's not a metaphor. You want it to be, so you say it is, and you think that because you said it, well, then it must be. But it's not. When Abraham was willing to kill Isaac, no law was being broken. Children, wives, and slaves were property of the head of the household. That is Middle Eastern culture to this very day.

Americans just go through scriptures and say "Oh, God didn't really mean this. And he didn't really mean that. And he changed his mind about this." Until the Bible says whatever you want it to say.

Gays do the same thing. They can explain away anything about homosexuality. You quote them something, they pick a different quote that "nullifies" it. All you religious folks are the same, from the muslims on down. You simply decide that God wants what you like. You do as you please, and you just know that God approves.

Sorry sweetie. It was a metaphor. Since Exodus 20:13 precedes
Exodus 21:17, it cannot be interpreted any other way.

Who told Abraham to offer his son and why?
