How Can You Believe in a God Who Demands Human Sacrifice?

If we are honest, and unless we read the Bible without ever mulling over implications of what we read, we must admit that there are accounts in Scripture that should really disturb us. One such story is God commanding Abraham to slaughter his son Isaac as a burnt offering to Him. That’s a problem! We can either gloss over it as if God didn’t really mean it or deal with it head-on, both biblically and philosophically. Recently, upon hearing a message given my pastor son Joshua, who just completed his PhD in philosophy, on this matter, my eyes lit up and my ears perked up. I think he offers a cogent and valid way to deal with this matter of God sanctioning atrocity, whether real or only in appearance. Listen to it and find out for yourself what I mean.
