Bible: Sacrifice of Isaac

• Why does God test us, Father asks?
• Father thinks that the reading should be read in the light of the Hebrews
• On one hand, it’s horrible–but Abraham was ready to offer his only son and believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead.
• Abraham had a complete trust in God

Letters:

• Gives advice suggesting the listner to ask God what his will is
  • He references the Screwtape Letters–the Devil wants us to focus on what we don’t have
• Letter thanking father who gave advice about dealing with priests who are moved around a lot–there is a lot of ecclesial and presbyteral instability
• Letter about some strick KJV readings of the bible that says diving is bad

Caller:

• Did Isaac say anything?
• Principles vs methods
• Priest told me I wasn’t truly repentant when I went to confession
• If I commit a sin like an impure thought–could I still go to confession?
