You're right. And with Christians most of us see the old testament as a history book leading up to Christ and the new testament and everything with that. My preacher very very very very rarely uses the Old Testament. If he does it's to refrence back to something. That's why I don't get the whole Ten Commandments thing either and I'm Christian. The Ten Commandments was Jewish law and not Christian. Christ did reference back to them some but he wasn't big on it. :shrug: I also think that with Abraham's story the story is trying to show that faith should over come death and know that God will always help you work out stuff. God is greator then death. With God and faith you can over come anything earthly. The story does sound scary though.
