Ok, admittedly, in the preface of the show on History channel it was suggested that points of view might differ from what is depicted, and in this point I was yelling at the screen.
They said that Abraham was constantly tested to earn a reward. But, that was just something I could not agree with. I believe there were sacrifices, made progressively more difficult so it could reasonably concluded that he was being continually challenged to prove that he was worthy of a reward.
But, I had always thought that he was given the trials because he had already proven that he would behave a certain way. And it was more like a Job thing where God could depend on him and.so he was allowing things to happen. Because he was at liberty to do so.
God is so happy to find someone he can trust. It is true that he must test but, once a subject has proven themselves, he is at peace. He knows that his will will be carried out.
I do not say ultimately choosing to obey one God as true.
