Hebrew literature says that God is all loving, all-powerful, and all knowing. It also says that God will test His peoples’ faith, like He did with Abraham and Isaac. Abraham had complete and utter trust in God, and Isaac had the same trust in Abraham. The question that I ask is, if God had let Abraham go ahead and slaughter Isaac, would God have been betraying Abraham, and would Abraham have been betraying Isaac? I think that the answer to this question is no, because God still would have kept his promise that Abraham’s descendants would number among the stars, just not through Isaac. Also, Isaac, in his death, would have been united with God.

Hebrew literature basically explains to us how God expects us to live. And, because He is all knowing, He knows what choices we make and what results we expect. He has the power to do anything at any given time. And He did this in just seven days. He knows how we’ve sinned and how we are planning to sin (whether it be intentional or not). Because of the fact that He is all loving, he will forgive us if we mess up. His love is poetic and romantic; He loves us unconditionally and eternally.
