“Abrahamic religions are religions that teach that their beliefs and perhaps even their physical ancestry come from the legendary Abraham. They include Judaism, Samaritanism, Mandaism, Christianity, Islam, Yezidi, Druze, Rastafari and Bahai, etc”

Abraham became a legend because of Akedah but In the earliest layer of the Biblical text, Isaac was not rescued by an “angel” at the last moment, but was in fact murdered by his father, Abraham, as a sacrifice to El in Mouth Moriah.
The version contained in the Torah now is a later Jahwist interpolation.

“One eye-opening hint at what he believes is the original story lies in Genesis 22:19. Previously, in verse 8, Abraham and Isaac had walked up the mountain together. But in verse 19, only Abraham returns.”

THE LORD OF ABRAHAM WAS NOT GOD

1. Why would God who already knew Abraham before he was born need to test Abraham by commanding him to do such a barbaric thing as killing his own son? Why would God who knows that "attempted murder" is a crime willingly encourage Abraham to attempt murder?

2. The simple answer is that "the Lord" that ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son was not God. Abraham and the people of his time knew who the Lord or Lords were. They saw "the Lord", walked with "the Lord", spoke with "the Lord" and even ate with "the Lord". Unfortunately, "the Lord" became so glorified over the passage of thousands of years that He was translated into God. I won't be surprised if "Lord Lugard" is translated into God by Nigerians of the year 3023 one thousand years from now.

3. How many Judaists, Christians and Muslims know that according to the torah, bible and quran, Noah (the same Noah of the flood) was still alive and about 900 years old when his great great great great great great great great grandson Abraham was born?

4. I am convinced that whoever instructed Abraham to kill his son Isaac (whether as a test or not) was not the God or Gods that created all of creation. It must have been Shem or any other ancestor of Abraham who were already more than 300 years (or three centuries) old by the time that Abraham fathered Isaac.

Do you not already know your children will pass or fail exams? Why did you test them or let them take exams?

Your head is truly upside down.

BECAUSE THEY USE FORCE AND KILLING TO GAIN FOLLOWERS THROUGH JIHADIST AND COLONIAL INVASIONS AND MASSACRES.

OTHER RELIGIONS DON’T DO THAT, SO THE ABRAHAMIC FAITHS ARE MORE “POPULAR”.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob allowed his worshipers to be enslaved in the world's most powerful nation for centuries to show that no King or nation could rescue them from slavery.
Then He took two octogenarians (Aaron and Moses) to Egypt and without a military action this God singlehandedly rescued millions of people from the hands of the most powerful nation back then!
That is how this God gained recognition globally! smiley

Yahuah, Abba Father did not create any religion. Religion is man-made and has nothing to do with our spirituality. The word of Yah is supreme. The distorted views of religions are satanic and diabolical
