"Rather, I think God was giving Abraham an opportunity to test Him. After all, hadn't God promised to make Abraham's descendants as numerous as the stars? How could that happen if Isaac were killed at an early age?"

Simple: God gives Abraham another son. There was no guarantee (as far as I am aware) that God's promise would be fulfilled through Isaac. Still, I find myself asking: Why would Abraham be prepared to kill his own son?

Peace be with you
