GOD destroyed people that killed the innocent and sacrifice with blood....he took no delight in their blood sacrifices....that's why he did away with all the animals sacrifices.... Abraham fails THE TEST I believe...... John 3:16 is talking about Abraham loving the world so much that he sacrifice his only son..... 1CORINTHIANS 10: 14-21 Therefore, my beloved ones, flee+ from idolatry. 15 I speak as to men with discernment;+ judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup+ of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break,+ is it not a sharing in the body of the Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, although many,+ are one body,*+ for we are all partaking of that one loaf.+ 18 LOOK at that which is Israel in a fleshly way:+ Are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers with* the altar? 19 What, then, am I to say? That what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No; but I say that the things which the nations* sacrifice they sacrifice to demons,+ and not to God; and I do not want YOU to become sharers with the demons. 21 YOU cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah*+ and the cup of demons; YOU cannot be partaking of “the table of Jehovah”*+ and the table of demons. PSALMS 50: 7-23 Do listen, O my people, and I will speak, 8 Not concerning your sacrifices do I reprove you,+ Nor [concerning] your whole burnt offerings [that are] in front of me constantly.+ 9 I will not take out of your house a bull,+ Out of your pens he-goats. 10 For to me belongs every wild animal of the forest,+ The beasts upon a thousand mountains.+ 11 I well know every winged creature of the mountains,+ And the animal throngs of the open field are with me.+ 12 If I were hungry, I would not say it to you; For to me the productive land*+ and its fullness belong.+ 13 Shall I eat the flesh of powerful [bulls], And the blood of he-goats shall I drink? 14 Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God, And pay to the Most High your vows; 15 And call me in the day of distress.+ I shall rescue you, and you will glorify+ me.” 16 But to the wicked one God will have to say:+ “What right do you have to enumerate my regulations,+ And that you may bear my covenant* in your mouth?+ 17 Why, you-you have hated discipline,+ And you keep throwing my words behind you.+ 18 Whenever you saw a thief, you were even pleased* with him;+ And your sharing was with adulterers.+ 19 Your mouth you have let loose to what is bad,+ And your tongue you keep attached to deception.+ 20 You sit [and] speak against your own brother,+ Against the son of your mother you give away a fault.+ 21 These things you have done, and I kept silent.+ You imagined that I would positively become like you.+ I am going to reprove you,+ and I will set things in order before your eyes.+ 22 Understand this, please, YOU forgetters of God,*+ That I may not tear [YOU] to pieces without there being any deliverer.+ 23 The one offering thanksgiving as his sacrifice is the one that glorifies me;+ And as for the one keeping a set way, I will cause him to see salvation by God.” EXODUS 23 23 “You must not take up an untrue report.+ Do not cooperate with a wicked one by becoming a witness who schemes violence.+ 2 You must not follow after the crowd* for evil ends;+ and you must not testify over a controversy so as to turn aside with the crowd in order to pervert justice.*+ 3 As for the lowly one, you must not show preference in a controversy of his.+ 4 “Should you come upon your enemy’s bull or his ass going astray, you are to return it without fail to him.+ 5 Should you see the ass of someone who hates you lying down under its load, then you must refrain from leaving him. With him you are without fail to get it loose.+ 6 “You are not to pervert the judicial decision of your poor man in his controversy.+ 7 “You are to keep far from a false word.+ And do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I shall not declare the wicked one righteous.+ 8 “You are not to accept a bribe,* for the bribe blinds clear-sighted men and can distort the words of righteous men.

Read surah 37 from 102 to 110 it was clearly a Command From Allah. Else why would Allah say in 109 "Verily that indeed was a manifest trial" Allah Tests His Beloved Slaves in ways that we cannot even imagine. The higher the status the harder the test! I sincerely believe you are wrong in thinking that this "should not" be taken literally. why? because it does not conform with today's thinking??? Both father and son were willing as explained in the above verses. The ultimate test and trust and love for Allah! Allah Knows Best.
