And My Father’s Love Was Nothing Next To God’s Will byAmatullah Bourdon
[text ID: Isaac did not forgive his father When they returned home he saw In the sidelong glances of his father’s eyes That everything had changed Under the cold knife That kissed his skin on the mountain He knew they could never Be the same again “You were my father,” He wanted to say “So why couldn’t you be my father?” end ID]

So all the people who were killed in the events of the Chanukah story died for no reason? All the people who were killed in the Spanish Inquisition? Literally the second commandment is to not serve any other god and aside for Islam, other religions count as a different god.

@piratedykes that’s not what my former rabbi taught, regarding the conversion to other religions. But yes I appreciate what you said about it being a test.

@elenge you have a misunderstanding of Judaism. We are allowed to convert to Islam under pain of death but only because at its core we have the same belief in god. In fact any other religion is forbidden even under pain of death. Anyway he wasn’t meant to sacrifice his son. Judaism doesn’t believe on human sacrifice. It was a test. Either it was to see if he would trust god & he passed or to see if he would protect his son & he failed. Either way, g-d was never going to let isaac die that day
