Simple I know and silly, but A man's aborted sacrifice of his son to
god, when god intervenes to prevent the man from murdering his son and
makes a covenant with the man, is quite different from that god
sacrificing his son to save the man. What's the REASON for this change
from the OT to the NT? Is it that GOD is now more reasonable? Or  is it
a matter of Faith? Both? Man's faith in God? God's FAITH in man? Both?
God sacrifices his son so that man may have LIFE eternal. Is that
reasonable? 

In GR, Man sacrifices man. Father kills his son. What is his reason for
doing so?
God doesn't intervene. Does nothing to prevent it. And the sacrifice is
not to god and is not about Life is it? 
NO, It's about DEATH. 
Poor man, always trying to find a Reason for death. 
Keeps trying till he puts all his reason and all his faith in Death. 
But Life, scatterbrained and meshed up in the mysterious rings only God
can know, 
goes on all around YOU.
