Some believe he did. Some feel like she "went into the work". Or maybe she was like Samuel. God didn't allow Abraham to take that step. If it happened, I don't think it had his approval. I don't feel like she was killed..

I don't feel like she was killed.. well we hear no more of his daughter after that and he did make a vow to offer whatever came out to greet him as a burnt offering...odds are he did....

I don't feel like she was killed.. If he kept his vow then in the story he killed his daughter, cut her up and burnt her as his sacrifice. The bible doesn't say he changed his mind or god stopped him from his vow. Women and daughters aren't so important in Christianity. Remember Judges 19 Where he asks the crowd instead rape his virgin daughters instead of the man visitor. Look, let me bring out my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine, and you can use them and do with them as you wish. But do not do such a vile thing to this man. ...
and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.

Lot's of spin in that video. Human Sacrifice - The OT has lots of humans being killed at gods direction. It's his favorite way to punish the living. Death is a common remedy for many sins in the OT If Jesus was a man while on earth (like the 2x2 believe), then god made a human sacrifice of his son. Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things
Human sacrifice pales in comparison to the eternal punishment of a god made hell.

Sisera was oppressing the children of Israel. Some college kids in meeting seemed uncomfortable with violence in the old Testament. Much of it was due to the hardness of hearts. And also they had a right to defend themselves. God looks out for Israel and does to this day. I would be afraid to go to sleep if I had spoken evil against the People of God..the Jews.

To act violently is a choice.
Mohandas Gandhi was a good example of non violence against his oppressors. God looks out for Israel and does to this day 1/3 of the Jews in Israel today don't belive in a god, they are atheist. The rest of the Israeli Jews a spit up into factions, and they mostly don't like each other.www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/03/08/in-israel-jews-are-united-by-homeland-but-divided-into-very-different-groups/ I would be afraid to go to sleep if I had spoken evil against the People of God..the Jews. That sounds like a superstition.
