So Abraham has a lot of kids by different wives, but with his wife Sarah he has one. Sarah is very old and cannot have other children - she is very protective of her son Isaac. Abraham's favorite son was Ishmael, but Sarah and God teamed up together to have Ishmael and his mother leave the house so he wouldn't be a threat to Sarah's only son Isaac.
Abraham goes with Isaac into a mountain and ties him up, puts him on an altar and then gets out a knife. Just about the time he is about to slaughter his son an angel stops Abraham and commends him for his faith.
If I could ask Abraham anything: When you were going home from that experience, did you tell Isaac that he not to tell his mother all about the ropes, and the knife, and being tied up and all?
What do you think? Would you?
