Yes, I know Yahweh was testing Abraham. It was a sick, sadistic test that any self-respecting Deity should be above making. If Yahweh knows every hair on a person's head, as you claim, and knows what is in their hearts, and is omniscient, such testing wouldn't be necessary. He'd already know what Abraham would do.]

god DID already know what was going to happen, You see God is all knowing, which includes the future. He wanted to test Abraham.

A contradiction tour de force, 'tis. Can we asume that god is either A: A sadist or B: Saddly uninformed about his own powers, then?

It's not a test if he already knew the outcome. Tests are performed to observe an unknown outcome, or to confirm or deny a supposition. Obviously not the case if the outcome was known. If it was applied to observe a known outcome, your god obviously just wanted to watch Abraham squirm. I'm glad he's your sadistic god, not mine.

Test when you don't know, when you know, why bother.

Take a pointer or two from your god. And TEST your religion. It fails soooo bad

"Knit and Pray" is wrong.

I do not know the future. I have concepts, of course, so I can make predictions. Just like anybody else. The rock rolls down the hill. Where it will land exactly, nobody can know. So I can say: Heaven is coming. The sciency heaven with computers, movies, drugs, chess play on a grassy hill and uncountable sexual delights beyond today's phantasies.

Neither do I know everything of the present (for example the contents of your minds). I am just a guy. As "big" as the universe, of course (spirit mass, energy of selfperception, willpower), but just a human. The guy that you meet/ignore in the supermarket.

Uh, you do know that was the part where you're supposed to provide a rebuttal and prove the OP wrong, right?

Massive fail.

If god knew what was going to happen, WHY test him when you know the answer?
