ABRAHAM: This is easy for me. I am in [[understanding]] of the [[path]] you must [[travel]]. I also received this same loving [[encouragement]] from my friend and [[mentor]], [[Machiventa]]. He never showed [[anger]] due to my misguided [[understandings]]. He had a view of the bigger picture. He saw that my mistakes were [[finite]] and my [[authentic]] [[self]] was potentially [[eternal]]. He too was a loving, patient and understanding teacher. Another question?

RACHEL: Father Abraham, I have one that I have been wanting to ask you for quite awhile. In your [[mortal]] life did you have a son named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac Isaac]? (Yes.) And was the request made by [[God]] for you to [[sacrifice]] your son Isaac as a test on you?

ABRAHAM: No, only within my own [[mind]] I was led to [[believe]] through a series of [[dreams]], [[events]] and [[traditions]] that Father required the ultimate [[sacrifice]] as [[proof]] of my love. This was my own misguided [[understanding]]. Today we have many misguided [[individuals]] who still believe that their greatest [[treasures]] must be [[sacrificed]] in order to receive God's love and return love to God. Father has never asked us to sacrifice anything that would hurt us so severely, but many [[mortals]] believe that their [[adversities]] are just that, sacrifices made to pay [[debts]] or [[atone]] for [[sins]]. You are in understanding of my [[words]], Rachel?
