If I may, Abrahams faith was not tested so that GOD would know his faith, but that ABRAHAM would realize it. Testing usually has the effect of causing us to realize where we are strong or weak, something that God already knew.

Do you drastically test your loved ones? Would you load a revolver with blanks, unbeknown to them, and then make them play Russian roulette? If someone did that in real life, he would be locked up and deservingly so for sheer cruelty.

You always try to put man's feelings and emotions and give them to God. Why is that? God is so far above us, and his purposes are so incomprehensible to us, that you only confuse the issue with these arguments.
