(A is also for the only post I actually managed to finish, so this will probably be the only A-Z Challenge for 2016...)
Most of you
probably know the story of Abraham and Isaac. (If not, brief summary: God
promised Abraham he'd be the father of his peoples, but Abraham had no kids.
But then MIRACLE, even though Abe and his wife Sarah are like 100 years old,
Sarah has a son and they call him Isaac.
Some years
letter, to test Abraham's faith, God tells Abe to offer his son Isaac as a
sacrifice. So Abraham sets off on a camping trip with his son and when they get
to the campsite, he prepares to murder Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice to
God. Thankfully, God sends an angel to stop him at the last minute and
congratulate him on his faithfulness.
I always wonder
about their trip back home.
It must have been kind of awkward....
Have a good weekend, y'all!
Amen!

ReplyDeleteThat would have been the perfect time to ask for a raise in his allowance.
ReplyDeleteI participated in a read the entire Bible study with my church about two years ago. It took about a year and a half to do it, factoring in vacations and breaks and holidays.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you bring up an excellent point. I always wondered what this did to the relationship between Abraham and Isaac. The Bible never says that Isaac didn't trust his father again from that day forward, had an irrational fear of fire, or anything of that nature BUT they were both human beings. I know if my dad strapped me onto a board, preparing to offer me as a sacrifice... well, let's just say that no amount of therapy would undo that situation to make me okey dokey with it.
I loved your interpretation. I can hear him asking them to not tell mom about this... she wouldn't get it. Sheesh. No kidding.
Maybe God was like, "So Isaac, we're gonna play this sick prank on your dad. Play along."
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a truly warped and original way of looking at it. But if I were Abraham, it may well have went Tempest's way!
ReplyDeleteOMG, so funny!
ReplyDeleteLaughing my kabushka off.
I always wondered, what kind of God would ever ask a person to kill their own offspring as a show of loyalty? Love your comic ;)
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteI love your comics and drawings. Can you draw me something, please?
In spite of all my shit, I sooo love this it is marvelous! I love the drawings and story so much, thanks for the cheer up that I needed beyond belief! Love you!
DeleteYay, The My Little Ponies, The My Little Ponies! I love it!
DeleteMy Little Camels!
Delete:) <3
DeleteDid you legit draw all this? Damn you are good! You should be working for Southpark!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I did notice the My Little Ponies. Nice touch, and I suspect you add them in at the slightest opportunity, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI tried reading the bible once......it scared me, so I quit. Now I read novels on the apocalypse, so that at least I can sleep at night.....
Yes, the Bible scares me too!
Deleteomg, I've never even considered the trip home, awkward! "Mum, you'll never guess what dad did..." hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI actually had this story in my children's bible, how horrible is that?
To be honest I only knew the second half of the story. The whole "Psychrafice" part. Huh. Firefox is claiming "Pyschrafice" is a word. Here's me thinking I invented it. I didn't realise he was also super old. Everyone in the old Testament was though I guess. Noah was like 900.
ReplyDeleteI would've still kicked him in the 100-year-old nuts. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilariously fantastic. I only wish we could have seen the illustration of God's "LOL JK" via messenger angel just before.
