20Abraham Was TransformedBy faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, Hebrews 11:17 (NIV) even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." Hebrews 11:18 * v18 EVEN Tho! =INCONSIST!!

~ GOOD DEAL!!

21Abraham Was TransformedAbraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death. Hebrews 11:19HE KNEW GOD!!
