In The Binding of Isaac, Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. The term אֲשֶׁר־אָהַ֨בְתָּ֙ means “who you loved or enjoyed.” Which of these two words should we choose? The term translated as loved would imply Abraham no longer loved Isaac. If translated enjoyed could imply carnal love or molestation.
Genesis 22:1-2
It happened these things after these things, that the gods try the Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham,” and he said, “I am.”
and said please take your son, the only son who you (loved or enjoyed), the Isaac, and go to land (of) Maria and sacrifice him there for a burnt offering on a mountain that I will tell you.
Generally we seek context to interpret the meaning. If we refer back to chapter 17 when Abraham is informed Isaac will be born…
Genesis 17:16-19
And I will bless her (Sarah), and I will give you a son from her, and I will bless her, and she will become [a mother of] nations; kings of nations will be from her. “
And Abraham fell on his face and rejoiced, and he said to himself, “Will [a child] be born to one who is a hundred years old, and will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”
וַיִּפֹּ֧ל אַבְרָהָ֛ם עַל־פָּנָ֖יו וַיִּצְחָ֑ק וַיֹּ֣אמֶר בְּלִבּ֗וֹ הַלְּבֶ֤ן מֵאָֽה־שָׁנָה֙ יִוָּלֵ֔ד וְאִ֨ם־שָׂרָ֔ה הֲבַת־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה תֵּלֵֽד
And Abraham said to the holy of gods, “If only Ishmael will live before you!”
And said the gods , “Indeed, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his seed after him
It’s apparent Abraham favors Ishmael over Isaac. Saying Isaac is the only son he loves is obviously incorrect. The term being past tense also implies the correct translation is “enjoyed.”
This, and other Hebrew text in the story of Abraham explains why he hates the Jews and religion in general.

This man is King Ferdinand II of Aragon (10 March 1452 – 23 January 1516). He married Queen Isabela of Castile which united their kingdoms and created Spain. They are known as the Catholic Monarchs. They subsequently conquered the Muslim ruled Kingdom of Granada in events that led to the Spanish Inquisition. Ferdinand had several illegitimate children before and during his marriage to Isabela. Of his 7 legitimate children the most notable are Catherine I, Queen of England and Joanna I whom he incarcerated for 50 years claiming her to be mentally unstable.
This man was Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai (12 June 1760 – 25 August 1797). He was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, politician, and diplomat. During the French Revolution he was a Girondist, half of the Legislative Assembly opposed to the Montagnards. As a writer and activist he had promoted the ideals of the Enlightenment; after the success of the US Revolution everyone did. He championed a more moderate approach than Robespierre and Marat. He lobbied for a constitutional monarchy and to spare King Louis XVI’s life. It is believed by some historians he helped destroy his own Girondist movement through the incessant use of libelous writings and statements against the Montagnards. This hobbled any attempts to stop the Reign of Terror. After the Thermidorian Reaction resulted in the death or Robespierre and Marat, he was so threatened by the people of Paris he left. He received an appointment in Naples but died before taking the post.
This is Karl Heinrich Marx (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) the German economist who made Socialism and Communism a thing. He wrote extensively against Capitalism and Free Enterprise, believing a centralized government run by a single party should control all material wealth. He believed this could only be achieved through violent revolution, purges and forced re-education of the masses. Although descended from Jews he has been criticized as having been an anti Semite and racist. [1] [2] He met Friedrich Engels in Paris in 1944. They where lifetime friends. Marx’s pet names for his daughters were “Hottentot” and Qui Qui, they committed suicide later in life. Marx’s legitimate sons did not survive to adulthood, he is rumored to have fathered one illegitimate one with his maid. Marx spent his latter years in London from 1850 until his death in 1883.
This man is Generaloberst Friedrich Fromm (8 October 1888 – 12 March 1945). Fromm fought for the German Army in World War I and was appointed as Commander of the Replacement Army by Hitler. His job during World War II was to recruit and train men for the ranks of the German Army. He also commanded all the troops in Germany itself and was in charge of supplies and weapons manufacturing, mostly accomplished with slave labor from the concentration camps.
The July 20 plotters (bombing of Hitler’s headquarters) were members of his staff; Claus von Stauffenberg being his executive officer. He had decided to keep quiet about the affair in exchange for a leadership position in the new government. When the plot failed he had his men arrested and, against orders to take them alive, immediately executed so as not to be implicated by their potential testimony. Does that look like a face capable of such barbarity? It most certainly is. Fromm was executed almost a year later on the 12th of March 1945 for executing them against orders.
