A question for Muslim, Christian, Jew and everyone who believe in Abraham?

First I waned to make clear according to all these religion you believe god is supreme and knows all.

When you read story of Abraham (Ibrahim in Islam) you will come to know he was considered one of the most faithful person to god. He is founding patriarch in Judaism, progenitor of the Christ in Christianity and prophet in Islam.

We all know about when god asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son Issac (Ismile is Islam) to test his loyalty. Which is often celebrated as Eid al-Adha in Islam.

My question is:

If your god do not even trust his most faithful and loyal follower, and do not even know about him properly-

how can you even believe that god will trust you for your faith in him ?

how can you even claim god is all powerful and knows everything ?

Update:

@ Eye of Innocence

So you are denying the fact written in your book god is supreme and knows everything (future, past present), If he really knows everything wouldn't he know Abraham faith without testing him. Or are you trying to tell believe only those parts of your book at particular time which fit in context with situation. For me it is like these religion text contradicts itself.

Update 2:

@ Jolly Roger

You made me laugh. I know I am my parents child because of DNA proof, Proof of Abraham Lincon as first president huge tons of video, pictures and document which fit quite exactly with what had been claimed. Abraham Lincon history is not mythical and filled with supernatural activities that claimed in Bible, Torah or Koran.

Update 3:

@ Shmueli; Person

God is always classified generous and kind. How can something like death be his scale to judge a person loyalty. Devil is always claimed to cause death and destruction, Isn't it another way around?

Update 4:

@ Sikander

lol...I know everything what you claim to be scientific in Koran (I have read Koran). Muslim try to twist and turn language of Koran to make it resemble to present scientific achievement although it has no resemblance in true sense.

    Trust is not for God, he knows everything. We need to trust him, God tests our faith and our loyalty not to find out; but to expose who we really are.

    Muslims look to have bought side truths of their religion. They say that Jesus is only a prophet that's incorrect for he's the son of God. They say that it was once Ishmael no longer Isaac that was once close to sacrificed by way of Abraham. They do certainly accuse men and women of getting transformed the Bible however the Dead Sea Scrolls proved that a nonsense because the publication of Isaiah and the side of Genesis discovered is the identical. They fail to don't forget that the Bible Scriptures have been written 1000's of years earlier than Mohamed was once even proposal of. Mohamed is alleged to not had been ready to learn or write for himself so probably that's the trouble if no longer it's much more critical if he purposely precipitated improper matters to be written down. He turns out to have married a tender woman who was once too younger, which is not a well instance. It must, as you are saying, be the identical God however the message has seeing that been distorted.

    Its not about trusting or not trusting :) As a Muslim I believe that this life is a test! & Muslims actually believe that the more faith a person has, the larger his tests will be!

    We have free will and God tests our choices this does not contradict the fact that God is all-knowing. God knows the future but does not influence our choices!

    it is a test you should know even the most faithful have to prove why they are to be called faithful i dont need to know that GOD TRUST MY FAITH or not i can simply do as he wants me to that is all i need to know and answer to your last question because in the holy QURAN there are things present that your science is proving now the book is 1400 years old according to islam the writer is GOD himself thats why and yeah he knows that abraham will never betray him but he made abraham set an example for the rest of humanity thats why

    How can you claim to know who your real parents are for sure? Birth documents get falsified every day. People resemble each other all the time. How can you even know for sure that George Washington was even President of the United States?

    After Abraham demonstrates the depth of his faith and commitment to G-d with the willingness to sacrifice his son, G-d commands Abraham not to go through with it- and He makes it clear it is not what He wants. The Akeidah, or the sacrifice attempt, shows that our commitment to life comes from a place no less powerful and absolute, far more powerful and absolute, than the pursuit of death and destruction. Abraham demonstrated that we are prepared to give our life for G-d, that we recognize that there is a truth and reality that is greater than our own existence, and we are absolutely committed to serving this higher truth. When G-d tells us that thats NOT what He wanted, that He wants us not to die and kill for Him but to live and nurture life as His "partner in creation", our pursuit of life is motivated and empowered by our commitment to G-d.

    The purpose of Judaism is not to die for G-d but to live for G-d, unless you're prepared to die for G-d, you cannot truly live for G-d.

    In Judaism- "the devil" which is called Sutun (Satan), is not separated from G-d. Satan is just a different aspect of G-d like a flip end of the same coin. In Judaism, another word is the Yetzer Hara, which is specifically the Evil Inclination, which is the Sutun. Of course G-d gives man 'power' to choose good or bad, and He has created 'bad forces' to try and get man off track, but they are not independant in any way except for what G-d desires for them to be. The concept that you are mentioning has no room in Judaism, because the Torah that was given to us by G-d clearly states through and through that there is but ONE force and ruler in this world. Period.

    We know becuase we don't have to question these things. Its really hard to explain to people why we know God is everything, when the people asking are so skeptical and are already thinking of a comeback before we try to answer there question.

    we have freedom of choice, it is God given. God could have just as easily said this how it was, is, and will be. He didn't. He wanted Abraham to decide for himself, and he did. He decided to trust God no matter what.

    Absolutely NOT. I am saying He (God) gave us choice, and wanted us to excercise it.

    It holds place for two reasons; to teach us that we must not sacrifice humans as abraham could not and to teach not God but abraham of his loyalty to God, to explain to him, abraham, why God rewards him such.

    God trusted Abraham implicitly and that is why he put him to task. He knew that Abraham would remain faithful - and he did.

    God does all things for God's pleasure and glory - not ours.
