In my book Jewish Renewal: A
Path to Healing and Transformation, I point out that in the original Hebrew version the word for «the Lord» that calls Abraham
to sacrifice his son is very
different than the word for the angel of God (YHVH) who tells Abraham
to NOT GO THROUGH WITH IT, and that the reason we Jews celebrate Abraham as the father of our people is NOT because of his faith in being willing
to carry out this violent and bloody act, but rather because he was able
to hear the voice of God as a voice that allowed him (and through him all subsequent Jewish and Muslim believers)
to NOT FOLLOW THE VOICE OF CRUETLY AS SOMEHOW THE VOICE OF GOD.
Instead of offering
different paths that compliment, let's say a magic user over an archer, everyone gets the same defense, attack, and in - game
healing boosts
to a point.
