Well Abraham sacrificed his son to God, according to the scriptures. He lay him down, so to speak, on an altar because God told him to kill him but then just as he was about to do it God said stop, I see you have faith in me, you need to go no farther. So basically what this line is saying is that if God tells you to commit murder for him, go ahead and do it. Never mind that in the story of Abraham God stepped in and stopped the murder from occurring. This is kind of a pointless sentiment as what is the point of sacrificing something if you know God is going to stop you. The point of that story had meaning for the time but is completely irrelevant now. It's like an old trick. You can't fool someone twice, unless they are completely oblivious.
"Lay down...all your Abraham sons"
