Bound by Faith

    Why is it called ‘The Binding of Isaac’
       if it was Father Abraham’s Final Test

    Isaac demanded to be bound to the altar
       to lie stock-still ~ Father would do the rest

Great write, where are all the great Christians here?? Always pounding on the Bible, but why can’t they read this poem? I guess they don’t know the story of Abraham and Isaac?. It is blown off in favor of the New Testament. Which came first in history? Who created the world? They do not know. Or they just were told the new Testament,is better. The old one is the fairytale? As if the Torah has no meaning! Give me a break. Pangie x. Pangie

Hey, P! I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this one. Perhaps I succeeded in explaining, poetically, the underpinnings of the title of this famous, impactful episode. Blessings, Gershon
