Ok, so I was going through wiki for the significance of the Eid el-Kabir and here's what I found:

Significance

-Commemoration of Ibrahim (Abraham)'s willingness to sacrifice his young first-born and only son in obedience of a command from God

-Marks the end of the annual Hajj to Mecca.

Now, I would like to ask every Christian and Moslem on Nairaland, or whoever believes or think the (attempt to) sacrifice Isaac (Isiak) in the holy books was ethical:

Would you kill/sacrifice your only child, if asked by your God, without no idea if it's a test or not? Yes or no?

Do you consider your answer morally acceptable (within the confines of religion or lack-of)?

Constructive criticism please.

I can do that, but I will have to see him first.

Another dumb question in nairaland. People do stupid shit in the name of religion. Why would I kill my child for a God that don't exist?

Abraham did not 'see' God. He only heard 'voices' I think.

Niglet, I understand your frustration. We're in this together.

that is for Abraham, as for me hearing voices is not enough.

Which techincally means a no. Thanks for sharing.

How do you know it is God you are hearing from.One might have psychiatric problems and think they are hearing from God.
In answer to your question,NO.

Huh?

If yes then educate me.

have you seen or heard him before?? And I ain't talking about the self induced hallucinations you do have..

My own God has commanded me.


Thou shalt not kill


when abraham was taking isaac to d altar,he knew God will never let him kill his child and if he killed is child,he would provide another one for him,
THIS IS THE BEST DEFINITION OF FAITH


1corinthians 1:18,
for the message of the cross is to them that perish foolishness,but unto us which are saved,it is the power of God

You may have a problem convincing Judge and court appointed psychiatrist about your vision

a times when I read that particular topic it got me puzzled. how can God an all knowing being who knows the future test somebody if he has already knows the outcome.

You didn't answer the question. From your response, you quoted the bible, which suggests you're a christian.

Please answer the question

ehen if am your neighbour I will call the cop for you

chronic hallucinations

Which God? There's many Gods in this universe and dimension. A good God wouldn't pressure or toy hueman into evil acts. Creators only watch and wait. Throw different tasks for the spirits of the universe to become stronger.

I'll kill anybody (child, dad, mum, bro, sis, neighbor, friends etc) if dats what god wants and loves.
It's a pity my god doesn't like sacrifices, killing or even worship. Almighty FSM is a cute god.

Bullshiiit!

I may kill am first if I could

What if it's set/satan trying to be pretend to be God. God is love, not killing people like little lambs

Atigba:

that is if we Yankee.

Dakun, is the biblical Abraham the same man in the Koran who was asked by allah to sacrifice his only son?

No

lol....

Lol, so many rebels

Hmm. So if your father walks into your room one day with a knife and tells you God has commanded him to slaughter you, but not to worry, after all God will surely provide him with another son, this will console you? That's great, as for me I'll suggest he should stick that knife up his rectum. So NO, I'll certainly do no such thing, and if an angel shows up to do it for me, I may just have to execute the final move of the Batoussai
