Because as they're going up the mountain, you know, Abraham tells Isaac this fictional story that maybe God will provide something else and that's what might happen. And then Isaac just believes that. Abraham believes he has to make sacrifice. That's the delusional faith of an adult. who's read too much Kierkegaard or something.

And Isaac's is the true Christian faith that God will figure out a way where the sacrifice doesn't need to happen. God is not a violent God. The violence doesn't come from God. He's a loving God. And there's a way to do this without sacrifice. And I'm always...

Yeah, what I find so odd about the Abraham-Isaac story is that we've written, endless amounts has been written on the faith of Abraham, or Abraham is seen as the iconic person with faith. And it's, again, linked to a certain conception of sacrifice. And yet we have the line in the New Testament where Christ tells us to look at the faith of a child. Maybe you can come up with a better example.

I think the concrete one is Isaac.

We get enough of Isaac's perspective implicitly in the story. It's all the reviews. When we talk about, you know, whose faith should we emulate? Yeah, the theologians, the philosophers, they always tell us you need to emulate the faith of Abraham.

The way I understand Christ, I understand him to be telling me to emulate the faith of Isaac, which I think is very different and maybe also very different on this question of sacrifice. There always are questions how one interprets sacrifice. the Christian account. I believe in the physical resurrection of Christ, both as an event that happened historically, but also as a promise.

And in some sense, following Christ, there may be all sorts of bad things that happen to you, but it's a rational trade for saving your soul and for having eternal life. And so if you think of it in the context of saving your soul and eternal life, you know, we can call that a sacrifice, but it has a very different character.
