Woman kills toddler while reenacting story of Abraham
Bible study gone wrong: Inspired by a church sermon on the Book of Genesis, a Florida woman allegedly killed a 2-year-old girl and attempted to kill the girl’s 10-year-old brother in a failed attempt to recreate the Biblical story of Abraham.
According to police, Kymberley Dawn Lucas, 40, is accused of killing 2-year-old Elliana and trying to kill her 10-year-old brother Ethan before trying, unsuccessfully, to end her own life.
Investigators report Lucas attended a sermon by Metropolitan Community Church pastor Lea Brown this past Sunday. Brown’s sermon covered the Biblical story of Abraham attempting to sacrifice his son Isaac on orders from God, only to be stopped by God at the last minute.
Pastor Brown says she stands by her sermon on Abraham, saying “It’s what I was called to do, there’s no way anyone could have predicted this.”
In a suicide note Lucas reports that unlike the Biblical account of Abraham, God did not step in and stop her from taking the child’s life. An excerpt from the note reads:
“Lea’s sermon really, really touched me yesterday but God never told me to stop!”

It was Ismael (AS) instead of Ishaq (AS).

Prophets and Messengers of Allah know with clarity and certainty that the message they have received in a dream, trance or else is from Allah whether they understood it fully or not. and they are guided where needed. Same is not the case with ordinary people.
I think similar sort of incident happen in Pakistan also where a man ‘sacrificed’ his son. These people are either demented or grossly misguided by their peers or whoever they follow.
