I can't imagine how one would be sinful until they actually sinned...

You die either way, the outcome is if you find new life or not in Heaven after.
However, it is an offer, and with the offer we can make a choice.

By "die", I meant hell. Still sounds like attrition...

Sort of it, but not really. My "version" of this is a lot more accurate to what I think God is like, but no one knows for sure, but my view has a bit more biblical support to it.

What Biblical support?

Abraham did not lie though. Had he actually killed his son, that would be the offering, but that did not happen and God provided an offering after that still, so Abraham did not actually lie.

At the time, Abe had no idea whether or not there was actually going to be another sacrifice there. He went with the idea and intention to murder his son. That still constitutes a lie...

You would be, but Isaac would not because he had more udnerstanding of God's intentions and plans for his life.

If I were Isaac, I'd be a little skeptical of the God who told my father to tie me up and stab me to death...
And the fact that God praises Abraham for his willingness to murder his son without question is ... condoning blind faith ... I can't do that!
