RE: was God truthful when he asked abraham to sacrifice his son...

God said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” (Genesis 22:2)

In what way is this either a lie or a truth? It was simply a command, not a statement of fact or even a promise.

i don’t think God was intent on letting abraham kill his son... but to make abraham think so, well, let’s just say i will have to ask the good Lord about that one... from far away from the pearly gates, i know... but i will say i have a slight problem with that one.
