AHHH! this was my question! Thank you so much for taking my question during the live Q&A! I posted to pastor Mike's live Q&A , and thought it wasn't picked. Little did I know that he would use my question as an opening question 😮 I'm so thankful for both of your answers, from two of my favorite bible teachers!! 🎉🎉 Both answers helped me, it's important to know that the sacrifice didn't happen, so there was no act of evil done, but the sacrifice was done in Abraham's heart and mind, that he was fully committed to follow God's direction. And also God was able to use this as a way to reveal himself to Abraham and Israel later, that he's different from the false gods around. I'm so grateful and blessed by both of you taking the time to answer my question!
Guzik’s answer was my preferred answer; clear and succinct for those who study the Bible. Pastor Winger’s answer was comprehensive, to assist those new to Bible study, even explaining the parallel to Jesus’ death. BOTH WERE EXCELLENT ANSWERS.
Just a fun chance to see our two different approaches to the same questions. What do you thinK? Leave your thoughts on these two responses in the comments section below. Thanks for watching, and thanks to Lily for making this comparison possible!
Personally I find pastor Guziks explanation very helpful (simple and eye opening) I’ve never heard it explained that way before and I went to Christian school from preschool through college.
Mike Winger gave extra details to make the same point clearer. Pastor David's answer was head-on and succinct. Both men made it clear that God cannot sin. Thank God for you both.😊
I would not be able to know my calling psalms 77 my birthdate is 07/26/1977 psalms 113 114 my ex wife cannot bear children so its obvious that you will join me in the whitehouse to change the law using 12 grade level from all over the word
I believe your answer was more reliable and in my heart made sense. I did not like mikes or whomever the other person was. I will never listen to him based on his answer to this question it seemed he really couldn’t answer the question and should have said so. No we might have people thinking God can speak to you to do some things that are horrible. Because some of the things God demanded of some men in the Bible had good reasons and God is good and loving but also righteous and fair. Thank you David I listen to you all the time but I seek Gods Word to make sure you are knowledgeable in he scripture.
To me, the question was 2 pieces of bread and Pastor Dave and Pastor Mike's answers glued it together well - made a good PB&J.. Beautiful to see like-mindedness. 👍
My mind got lost with Pastor Mike's answer. (It's just me; not his fault.) Pastor David's answer is concise, direct to the point and my brain was able absorb it.
I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to glean wisdom from you two brothers in Christ. Praise The Lord for both of you, and praise The Lord even more for His Word and His wisdom!
@David Guzik I’m so glad that you’re of the same spirit as Mike Winger. You both emulate a balance view of the scriptures which is RARE these days. Either one is hyper Charismatic or hyper Reformed, but there’s a place for “both” and I believe you both display the beauty of both. Thank you for your consistency to the work of the Lord. Your commentary is a must read for me when studying to teach the word. You read/love Spurgeon, what Spurgeon was to you, is what you are to me. Glory.
Both answers are excellent giving insight relevant to the NT believer. David’s answer illustrates serving God is a matter of the believer’s heart versus the hand. Mike’s answer addresses the letter of the law and that God is the supreme authority.
As always , David Guzik put the answer in a " nut shell" , that is easy to understand and remember. However Mike Winger expands more for those that like more words. Thank you both.
Winger took the first stance which is mine- what God required was not sinful Also the heart of the person asking the question a believer, non-believer, asking for a friend As a believer we understand God’s way is perfect. God cannot and will not do wrong. “ as for God his way is perfect “ Psalm 18:30.
Both of you are correct Pastor David. Your response is spot on, clear and concise. Your Enduring Word commentaries are my go-to when I study the Word in depth. Meanwhile, Pastor Mike’s response (which by the way is in substance, the same as yours) is longer by providing proof texts as support. This made it more crystal clear to me. Also, the example of the running the red light was so relatable!
I respect you both and enjoy listening to both. Both answers are solid. Mike has a "fuller" answer which seems to hit the points I believe need to be understood. At the end of the day, God cannot sin or do evil. Period. If He does it, it is not sin. Not because of His power alone, or even by His authority as Creator, but because He is the very definition of Right and Good. Apart from Him we have no definition of right and wrong.
Hi family, It’s a joy to hear both speak, you are amazing, powerful Bible teachers. I love that your answer highlights the obedience side of the interaction which is the point of that text. On the other hand the other details from Mike’s answers are very important when it comes to teaching about hearing the voice of God. Those lessons will help prevent inappropriate behaviours that some people would have in the name of God’s instruction. I’m grateful for your great work. In one word: both answers are complementary. Blessings
I listen to you both and enjoyed hearing both answers. I found it hard to choose the best answer. They seemed to be different aspects or viewpoints of the event and both were insightful. Thank you both for what you do.
Thank you Pastor David for this comparison video. You are both being used by God to feed the sheep, i.e ME. I´m grateful for you both and so for me both answers are satisfactory because they are both biblical accurate. Also thank you to the lady who asked the question. Blessings!
Hi David! I just want to thank you. I bought a Bible one day with no idea how I was going to approach it. I read a verse and didn’t understand it 🤣 then I found you, and everything is so clear! Thank you thank you thank you for everything you’re doing.
The Mike Winger response is what I myself have thought about this theological situation with Isaac and Abraham. It made perfect sense. God is sovereign. If God is testing someone, it is not sin. He is the creator, he has full rights over life and death in all situations.
Yay! MY two favorite TH-cam Bible teachers!! My opinion: Both answers are sound, however Pastor Mike's explanation also addresses broader implications of the nature of God (sovereign authority) that can/should be understood, applied and embraced by Every person/creation. Pastor Guzik, Thank you, for posting this insightful Q&A response comparison 😊. I would love to occasionally see this format again from you and Pastor Mike! Blessings!!
definitely agree with you. I loved both answers but Pastor Mike's explanation emphasized God's soverign authority which is something I had to thoughtfully wrestle with for awhile!
Both of you are awesome teachers and I love both of you to bits. No choosing needed, both answers great and understandable and somehow speaks to one another, great great blessing to have my 2 favourite Bible teachers "together"!
I have learned from both Mike and David for years. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and most of all Biblical. Thanks for your ministries. The Enduring Word is downloaded on my iPad and is one of my top two Bible commentaries. My husband is a pastor and has Logos, but often I send him research from EW or have him listen to “what Mike says”. Thank-you David and Mike. This was fun. It would be interesting to hear more of your shared thoughts and research. God bless. 🙏
LOL I loved this.... it was so fun! You know you are my go to Pastor David, litterally 100% of the time, but I think Mike covered every aspect 😅. Both answers are right in my opinion tho. SO thankful for solid Bible teachers....we are so spoiled to have you men of faith available to us.
Both fabulous answers! I did appreciate Mike discussing how God was drawing Abraham out of paganism and to worship only Yahweh God. No more child sacrifice like the pagan nations. Also this is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ and the parallel of the 3 day journey and Christ’s death and resurrection..
Hard to pick the best because your presentation styles are so different. It depends on the viewer’s preference. I prefer both! 😊 I think a question and answer video together in the future would be interesting and a bit of fun too. I follow you both and have grown so much in my Bible knowledge. Thanks to you both!
Mike’s beginning was rocky, David yours was beautiful on this one. It made my mind fly to when Jesus said if you “look at a woman w/lust you commit adultery in your heart.” This example w/Isaac is a beautiful example in Exodus of the heart that is fully submitted to God, is being justified by faith not by works, but faith leads unto works prepared by God.
Everyone should also know that Mike had time to answer this question because it's his first question. He picks a question from the previous Q&A as his first question. Other 2-20 questions will be from the live chat. That's why i think his answer is better. Thank You both for your ministry
I have listened to both of you for some time. I rarely post comments but have to several of Pastor Guzik's take on scripture. Both offered sound reflection on the Genesis passage. Thank you so much for all they you do and know that you are appreciated.
Love both of you guys! I sub to both and listen to both regularly, But David’s simple straight to the heart of the matter won me. Thank you to both Bible teachers.
Personally for me, reading the word for many years, David's explanation was to the point. I appreciate that the "God looks at the heart" part. Maybe for newer Christians, Mike walked it through in a different way so they could understand. We must remember that we can never know all the thoughts of God with our "puny" little minds. However, Abraham showed GREAT FAITH and that how we are all to have. Thanx for the explanation, it helps me if someone were to approach me with that question.
I really enjoyed both answers and I agree with you both. Mike Winger's answer was very long and detailed which is true to his form. Yours was succinct.
David your answer is more succinct Winger gets to the same answer but much wider exposition. I vote for Mike as it gave me a wider swath of biblical instruction. Plus he gave the much needed cautions about understanding the likelihood of it being God’s instruction
Both were good and complimented each other. The thing that really spoke to me was the analogy of a cop waving you through a red light. He has authority and it is a special circumstance for a special purpose.
First God bless both for teaching God's word. My vote is for Pastor. Guzik's response was short , to the point, and concise, and made bibical sense. Maybe it's because I listen PG so much I enjoy his style. But blessing to both!!
Loved both, but Davids was quick and to the point. God’s sovereignty while cutting to the crux of the matter of do we truly trust Him. His ways are higher always. I like that Mike went into even more detail, but I will retain David’s answer if having to answer this question if ever presented to me. Thanks to both David and Mike for their faithful study of God’s word and sharing with us.
Pastor David introduced an aspect that is also sound theology, God was making a distinction between what He requires of man , heart worship and would never require human sacrifice like the god of man’s hands.
Finished with your answer and it was good exactly on the same page as Mike....he just goes into a more in-depth explanation, giving the viewer additional information to support both answers. Love your stuff.................thank you for doing it! starting bible study on the book of James, hope you have a playlist of it.
Two great minds, giving 2 powerful answers and I love both. Some of us require the long version and some of require the short. I understood right way with Pastor Guzik. For a more in depth answer I understood Pastor Mike and the Holy Spirit allowed me to see the details. For time sake, I'd go with Pastor Guzik on this one.
Im just glad I found your channel, both good answers, yours was much shorter and Mikes was very detailed and longer. Its funny i was listening to Mike answer this one on his live stream when it aired. Thanks again!
In terms of hand gestures, it is a tie. Apples & oranges for the rest. David gets points with the general Christian audience looking for a clear concise answer. This answer appeals to my heart that wants to connect with God. Mike gets points with the autistic nerds like me, who want to exhaustively analyze something. I sincerely give thanks to God for both of you, who both been an encouragement to me.
I love Mike Winger and yourself Mr. Guzik. You guys truly have influenced my learning and understanding of the Bible. Conforming what I know and teaching me so much. I'll answer who answered it better haha.
David’s answer helped explain the “what” and got right to the point, Mike’s answer helped to explain “why”. I understand immediately when David said Abraham obeyed in his heart, and Mike’s explanation with the example of the cop waving you through a red light added insight.
I think it's a difference of audience. In all of David's Q&As, he answers questions that inform us on our Christian walk or, for unbelievers, he assures them of God's goodness. In all of Mike's Q&As, he gives Christians a way to answer unbelievers' questions, and then demonstrates it for us by addressing unbelievers (including scoffers) directly and giving them a reasoned argument. I listen to both David Guzik and Mike Winger and learn a lot from them.
I think David Guzik’s answer was good but I did appreciate Mike’s a bit more because as it’s often a question I’ve asked myself, his answer more thoroughly ‘unpacked’ and ‘expanded’ this situation.
Thank you very much for providing this video comparing the answers. Both answers were in agreement with what we know from the Bible. I had never had the privilege of watching Mike's videos. My first time, and I like him. I really liked the comparisons Mike made between Abraham' son and God' son. That explanation was awesome. I like what David said, "I only want the heart sacrificie of Issac" Perfect answer.
I go with David ... it all about the heart of faith.. Abraham believed God ... he knew some how some way if he did sacrifice Issac him and the boy was coming back down off the mountain alive.
I appreciate both of your so much, but definitely pastor David for me. Because he did it off the cuff. Mike used his as the prepared opening, so he had time to think about it. Though definitely good to hear both!
Mike definitely provided a multi-level answer but I also appreciated your answer of how God knows our heart decisions and that matters. Just like in the NT Jesus points out that you don’t have to do the deed to be guilty of the deed (lust=adultery or anger w/o cause=guilty of judgement like murder).
AHHH! this was my question! Thank you so much for taking my question during the live Q&A! I posted to pastor Mike's live Q&A , and thought it wasn't picked. Little did I know that he would use my question as an opening question 😮 I'm so thankful for both of your answers, from two of my favorite bible teachers!! 🎉🎉 Both answers helped me, it's important to know that the sacrifice didn't happen, so there was no act of evil done, but the sacrifice was done in Abraham's heart and mind, that he was fully committed to follow God's direction.

I'm so grateful and blessed by both of you taking the time to answer my question!
Thanks for asking the question, we needed the answer we just did no know we needed to ask it☺, bless you!
I love that you asked this Question to both Pastors- and that we got to see both answer so insightfully, and biblically and yet in their own style. 😊
Thankful to both these guys and for your question as well.
Guzik’s answer was my preferred answer; clear and succinct for those who study the Bible. Pastor Winger’s answer was comprehensive, to assist those new to Bible study, even explaining the parallel to Jesus’ death. BOTH WERE EXCELLENT ANSWERS.
Just a fun chance to see our two different approaches to the same questions. What do you thinK? Leave your thoughts on these two responses in the comments section below.

Pastor Im guilty of doing that‐ asking another Pastor same question. Lol
@@Daughter_of_the_King316 Nothing wrong with that. It’s a good idea, I think.
I loved this! Can't pick one over the other ... Loved both the responses.
Second opinion type of thing😅
Personally I find pastor Guziks explanation very helpful (simple and eye opening) I’ve never heard it explained that way before and I went to Christian school from preschool through college.
Mike Winger gave extra details to make the same point clearer. Pastor David's answer was head-on and succinct. Both men made it clear that God cannot sin. Thank God for you both.😊
My two favorite Bible teachers.
Same

David Guzik for me, short and direct to the point. Once I heard David's answer, right there and then I understand it with my heart.
I vote for Pastor David's response for because it's more clear and succinct.
To me, the question was 2 pieces of bread and Pastor Dave and Pastor Mike's answers glued it together well - made a good PB&J.. Beautiful to see like-mindedness. 👍
My mind got lost with Pastor Mike's answer. (It's just me; not his fault.) Pastor David's answer is concise, direct to the point and my brain was able absorb it.
I can't choose. Both answers complement each other for me and gives a fuller understanding. God bless you both for all you do.
This!
Both are great responses! Yours is the short, to the point answer and Mike's is the fuller version. They are complementary.
I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to glean wisdom from you two brothers in Christ. Praise The Lord for both of you, and praise The Lord even more for His Word and His wisdom!
@David Guzik
I’m so glad that you’re of the same spirit as Mike Winger.
You both emulate a balance view of the scriptures which is RARE these days.
Either one is hyper Charismatic or hyper Reformed, but there’s a place for “both” and I believe you both display the beauty of both.
Thank you for your consistency to the work of the Lord. Your commentary is a must read for me when studying to teach the word.
You read/love Spurgeon, what Spurgeon was to you, is what you are to me.
Glory.
Amen & ditto!!
Great answers that compliment one another.
I vote for Pastor David's response. Clear and concise, short and to the point.
Both answers are excellent giving insight relevant to the NT believer. David’s answer illustrates serving God is a matter of the believer’s heart versus the hand. Mike’s answer addresses the letter of the law and that God is the supreme authority.
AMEN!😎👍
Loved the simplicity of yours but the correlation and resemblance Mike added was spot on. Thank you for this video! God Bless
As a listener/fan of both, I think this is so cool! Maybe a joint live?
Yes that would be great!
I honestly don't think either of them smoke marijuana... I couldn't resist. LOL! It would be neat to see them chat though!
Two of my favorites!! Love this collaboration! God bless you both
God wants us to know that it is our hearts He desires. My vote goes to Pastor David.
As always , David Guzik put the answer in a " nut shell" , that is easy to understand and remember. However Mike Winger expands more for those that like more words. Thank you both.
Hands down David won simplistic but true💜🙏🏽
Winger took the first stance which is mine- what God required was not sinful
Also the heart of the person asking the question
a believer, non-believer, asking for a friend
As a believer we understand God’s way is perfect. God cannot and will not do wrong.
“ as for God his way is perfect “
Psalm 18:30.
Sometimes the simple answer is the best answer. Well done Pastor David.
Both me and my wife agree with Pastor David Guzik after listening carefully both of the Pastors.
David, your answer was most helpful to me. God Bless
Both of you are correct Pastor David. Your response is spot on, clear and concise. Your Enduring Word commentaries are my go-to when I study the Word in depth.
Meanwhile, Pastor Mike’s response (which by the way is in substance, the same as yours) is longer by providing proof texts as support. This made it more crystal clear to me. Also, the example of the running the red light was so relatable!
David Guzik God is with you
David’s answer seemed to more clearly resonate with me. We are blessed to have both gentlemen as teachers.
I respect you both and enjoy listening to both. Both answers are solid. Mike has a "fuller" answer which seems to hit the points I believe need to be understood. At the end of the day, God cannot sin or do evil. Period. If He does it, it is not sin. Not because of His power alone, or even by His authority as Creator, but because He is the very definition of Right and Good. Apart from Him we have no definition of right and wrong.
Verdict? You and P. Mike are still 2 of the most reliable, Scripture based teachers, I always listen to!
Pls continue to teach!
Thank you! Blessings to you as we end 2023!

Blessings!
Two of my favorite teachers also! Thank you! One powerful direct answer and one powerful detailed answer; both beneficial!
Wow, thank you!
Hi David! I just want to thank you. I bought a Bible one day with no idea how I was going to approach it. I read a verse and didn’t understand it 🤣 then I found you, and everything is so clear! Thank you thank you thank you for everything you’re doing.
I learned A LOT....and I am leaving it right there! BOTH were awesome!
This is great. My favourite teachers.
I spend hours a week with Enduring Word and I listen to mike w all the time.
Interesting responses from both of u
I definitely like your answer better. Short and simple. Best explanation I’ve heard on this passage. (No offense to Mike Winger)
I love you both, so I can't choose a favorite answer ❤ You both have helped my walk with the Lord!
The Mike Winger response is what I myself have thought about this theological situation with Isaac and Abraham. It made perfect sense. God is sovereign. If God is testing someone, it is not sin. He is the creator, he has full rights over life and death in all situations.

definitely agree with you. I loved both answers but Pastor Mike's explanation emphasized God's soverign authority which is something I had to thoughtfully wrestle with for awhile!
Pastor David for the win
I thought it was funny to hear the same question twice in one week. I thought you both did give a fantastic answer 😊
Both of you are awesome teachers and I love both of you to bits. No choosing needed, both answers great and understandable and somehow speaks to one another, great great blessing to have my 2 favourite Bible teachers "together"!
I have learned from both Mike and David for years. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and most of all Biblical. Thanks for your ministries.

My husband is a pastor and has Logos, but often I send him research from EW or have him listen to “what Mike says”. Thank-you David and Mike. This was fun. It would be interesting to hear more of your shared thoughts and research. God bless. 🙏
Love both of you guys played a major role in my walk with the Lord thank you so much may God bless you abundantly
Wonderful comment, thank you for this!
Pastor David hit it out of the park
One of my go to commentators
LOL I loved this.... it was so fun! You know you are my go to Pastor David, litterally 100% of the time, but I think Mike covered every aspect 😅. Both answers are right in my opinion tho. SO thankful for solid Bible teachers....we are so spoiled to have you men of faith available to us.

Also this is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ and the parallel of the 3 day journey and Christ’s death and resurrection..
Hard to pick the best because your presentation styles are so different. It depends on the viewer’s preference. I prefer both! 😊
I think a question and answer video together in the future would be interesting and a bit of fun too.
I follow you both and have grown so much in my Bible knowledge. Thanks to you both!
I really appreciate the thoroughness of Mike’s answer.
Well said!
I like David’s answer. It’s concise. It’s like okay, Abraham was righteous in his heart , he was obedient. Let’s move on. God bless both of you🙏🏼❤️
Mike’s beginning was rocky,
David yours was beautiful on this one. It made my mind fly to when Jesus said if you “look at a woman w/lust you commit adultery in your heart.”
This example w/Isaac is a beautiful example in Exodus of the heart that is fully submitted to God, is being justified by faith not by works, but faith leads unto works prepared by God.
I love both of these bible teachers, but David's answer was definitely my preferred answer. Really appreciate your work, brother. God bless you!
I'll take it! Thank you for this!
Both your answers nailed it perfectly well
Pastor David- more on the theology of God
Everyone should also know that Mike had time to answer this question because it's his first question. He picks a question from the previous Q&A as his first question. Other 2-20 questions will be from the live chat. That's why i think his answer is better. Thank You both for your ministry
Total agreement- so you can’t really compare. Both answers are helpful 🎉.
I have listened to both of you for some time. I rarely post comments but have to several of Pastor Guzik's take on scripture. Both offered sound reflection on the Genesis passage. Thank you so much for all they you do and know that you are appreciated.
Love both of you guys! I sub to both and listen to both regularly, But David’s simple straight to the heart of the matter won me. Thank you to both Bible teachers.
I am thankful to have both commentaries. I think having both helps you see more details in the grand picture of that question.
Personally for me, reading the word for many years, David's explanation was to the point. I appreciate that the "God looks at the heart" part. Maybe for newer Christians, Mike walked it through in a different way so they could understand. We must remember that we can never know all the thoughts of God with our "puny" little minds.

I really enjoyed both answers and I agree with you both. Mike Winger's answer was very long and detailed which is true to his form. Yours was succinct.
My vote goes to mr Guzik for brevity, clarity and succinctness.
David your answer is more succinct
Winger gets to the same answer but much wider exposition.
I vote for Mike as it gave me a wider swath of biblical instruction. Plus he gave the much needed cautions about understanding the likelihood of it being God’s instruction
Both were good and complimented each other. The thing that really spoke to me was the analogy of a cop waving you through a red light. He has authority and it is a special circumstance for a special purpose.
This was a treat😊 I am regular to both of you Q&A!!
Yeah I like both of your questions and answering times.. I do like depth and Mike winger went to to explain this!
4:27. Both explanations were good, but David's was easier to understand or follow. I enjoyed both explainations.
First God bless both for teaching God's word.
My vote is for Pastor. Guzik's response was short , to the point, and concise, and made bibical sense. Maybe it's because I listen PG so much I enjoy his style. But blessing to both!!
Brother David, you nailed it clear and simple. Brother Mike did too many dance moves on the topic.
I think both explanations were very good, David was good, Mikes was more in depth, just what I expected.😊
They were both great answers,I will vote for Pastor David's as it was the better answer for me personally. This video was great,keep them coming!
Loved both, but Davids was quick and to the point. God’s sovereignty while cutting to the crux of the matter of do we truly trust Him. His ways are higher always. I like that Mike went into even more detail, but I will retain David’s answer if having to answer this question if ever presented to me.

Pastor David introduced an aspect that is also sound theology, God was making a distinction between what He requires of man , heart worship and would never require human sacrifice like the god of man’s hands.
💯 Agree

Love your stuff.................thank you for doing it! starting bible study on the book of James, hope you have a playlist of it.
All I know is God is with you
how about this? you bo5h are insightful with your answers, however, your answer settles my mind better in this issue! :)
Two great minds, giving 2 powerful answers and I love both. Some of us require the long version and some of require the short. I understood right way with Pastor Guzik. For a more in depth answer I understood Pastor Mike and the Holy Spirit allowed me to see the details. For time sake, I'd go with Pastor Guzik on this one.
Im just glad I found your channel, both good answers, yours was much shorter and Mikes was very detailed and longer. Its funny i was listening to Mike answer this one on his live stream when it aired. Thanks again!
You both are so great at answering questions ... I listen to you both. I can't pick one, I liked both your answers.
In terms of hand gestures, it is a tie. Apples & oranges for the rest. David gets points with the general Christian audience looking for a clear concise answer.

David your right, great job keep it up
Time frame 17:17 is what sums it up where Mike talks about this a foreshadowing of Jesus's sacrifice. God provided the sacrifice.❤
I felt that Mike’s answer was the answer that rang true for me.
I think David Guzik’s answer was good but I did appreciate Mike’s a bit more because as it’s often a question I’ve asked myself, his answer more thoroughly ‘unpacked’ and ‘expanded’ this situation.
Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you very much for providing this video comparing the answers.
Both answers were in agreement with what we know from the Bible.
I had never had the privilege of watching Mike's videos. My first time, and I like him.
I really liked the comparisons Mike made between Abraham' son and God' son. That explanation was awesome.
I like what David said, "I only want the heart sacrificie of Issac" Perfect answer.
Both excellent answers, from different angles. I wouldn't say one is better. I'd say they are both very helpful.
Thank you!
I go with David ... it all about the heart of faith.. Abraham believed God ... he knew some how some way if he did sacrifice Issac him and the boy was coming back down off the mountain alive.
Hello David! Joseph here from CC Surfside. Thanks for posting this. Two of my absolute favorite guys with killer answers.
Both are great answers and are very helpful. But I do like Pastor Guzik's the best.
I appreciate both of your so much, but definitely pastor David for me. Because he did it off the cuff. Mike used his as the prepared opening, so he had time to think about it. Though definitely good to hear both!
Mike definitely more in depth. I lean more toward David in that God did intend for Abraham to do it. But Mike highlighted God’s sovereignty.
Mike definitely provided a multi-level answer but I also appreciated your answer of how God knows our heart decisions and that matters. Just like in the NT Jesus points out that you don’t have to do the deed to be guilty of the deed (lust=adultery or anger w/o cause=guilty of judgement like murder).
