Yet when Abraham took Isaac to be sacrificed he didn't actually kill him, but his faith was credited to him as righteousness

And did God have any doubts how Abraham would respond? Or did God just want to torture him a little? God has no reason to test anyone. Did God not know that Abraham had the faith, but instead had to demonstrate it to God by killing his own son? So, was God finally "convinced" that Abraham had the faith to be saved when Abraham was about to kill his son? I have seen the example you mentione used before and It's not the Christian God we know.

Yet you accuse others of having ESP.
