Talk:Satan/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reference to a demonic being inducing God to test Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac does not have scriptural foundations. No one tempts God. God was not trying to see how much Abraham loved him. This was God showing how much he loved his creation that he would one day sacrifice his own first-begotten son -- Jesus Christ. And probably hinting at the fact that animal sacrifices could not eradicate sin from one's DNA. That is why we need the Holy Spirit. This is the very spirit that unites the Father and the Son that will re-write human DNA and implant the qualities of God, even imparting eternal life.
