Yitzchak Avinu allowed to sacrifice (or potentially sacrifice) his own
life on the word of his Father? Is this/was this allowed??? [Yitzchak
did not, as far as we know, receive a direct tzivui from Hashem to give up his
life.] <br><br>If we perhaps hold that Shaliach K'Moitu, and that Avraham was an authentic Shaliach of Hashem, (on this and other? matters?) which would therefore perhaps obligate Yitzchak, would/should Yitzchak have required definitive proof from Avraham's as to the authenticity of his Shlichus??? <br><br>[And of course, if Avraham was not considered a direct/authoritative Shaliach, vis a vis this paticular (Akeida) matter, then why would Yitzchak have been allowed to listen to him??]<br><br>HB</div></td></tr></table>
