Yes.
What say you? Does God's unlimited power make it a-okay for him to command people to sacrifice their sons and daughters?
If you say yes, remember how close that places you to certain Muslims today who you hate who believe their god has commanded them to kill the infidels.
So it begs the question, why did God ask him to do it in the first place?
If you consider that pagan religions back then were steeped with child sacrifice, the answer is obvious. God stopped Abraham from sacrificing his child which sent a message to the rest of the world that child sacrifice was abhorrent to him and would not be tolerated.
We can't make out all of his logic, but some we can.
