Was Isaac form the bible killed for god?
No. Isaac married, had children, outlived his father Abraham, lived to an old age, died at home of natural causes, and was buried in the family cemetery by his sons, next to his wife. If you own a bible or can borrow one, you can read all the details there. God tested Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac (who was the promised child from God at his old age). When Abraham was ready to perform the sacrifice God intervened and provided a ram to be a substitute for Isaac.

Why was God mad at Abraham and Isaac?
If you mean why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac then the answer is that He was not angry with either of them. We don't know specifically from the Bible text why God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son but we do know that Abraham does not even question the request. If we read carefully however we see that Abraham likely trusted that God would save Isaac somehow and his faith was rewarded when God provides an animal for the sacrifice instead. Some scholars believe that Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac as a test of his faith but others believe that the entire incident was a powerfully moving demonstration of God's desire that human sacrifice not be performed to honour Him. Many of the surrounding nations practiced child sacrifice and here God makes very clear the fact that that is not what He desires from his people.
What did God tell Abraham to do to Isaac and why did he have to do this?
As you may already know, Abraham and his wife Sarah, were both really old when they had Isaac. As a test, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. If he had enough faith in God, he wouldn't have to worry about what happened to his son. Abraham took his son up to the altar and Isaac asked what they were offering. Abraham said, "The LORD will provide the offering." Abraham tied his son to the altar and prepared to kill him when an angel of the LORD appeared to him. He told Abraham to let his son go, he had showed his faith in God. Abraham had passed the test.
