Abraham summer homework

1. The thing that most inspired me was Abraham generally follows God's voice, blindly. Yet he had trust in God. Abraham always trusted god. Abraham takes his trust in god to extreme levels. In Genesis god tells Abraham to sacrifice his son. Abraham is willing to kill his own child all for god. Abraham abandoned his whole life. He abandon his life at such an old age, start a new life and even cuts off part of his penis. I am not sure why he did the penis thing, he was the first to do it and it was crazy. I don't really understand how he can do all that at such an old age, but I definitely admire his bravery to start over.

2. I think Abraham was a normal …show more content…

Abraham is a no ifs and or buts a fathomed figure by virtue of what he found himself prepared to do divine beings work and on record religions still suggest him today. Abraham is not divine, but seems that he is that smart. He is an ecumenical figure because he lived a great life and is someone that people can get behind.

12. I think Feiler said he discovered a part of Abraham life. He truly pondered about this life and was interested. I think Sheikh Abu Sneina is the guy who made the most persuasive argument about Abrahams life. He speaks of how he was devoted to god.

13. I would like to be just like Abraham, but in different ways. He is devoted to god and shows passion in everything he does. I want to show passion in everything I do. He felt life intesley and fought for what he believed in. He wasn't afraid to move far away. I admire that. I would be willing to move across the country.

14. I believe that Abraham could be worshiped upon rough times. Abraham needed to experiencing hardship to bring him to the place he was. He means that he experienced him through so many stories, that he finally found out what he was all about.

15. Abraham's legacy today is to be passionate in everything you do and try to be amazing across all platforms in life. Have faith in something bigger than yourself and take

    Andrew Jackson became the United States of America’s seventh president in the year 1829. Born into poverty, Jackson received fame as a military hero and grew popular by representing the “common man”. He quickly became America's most influential political figure at the time. After such a polarizing career, Andrew Jackson was put onto the present day $20 dollar bill. In recent years there has been questioning by the american citizens about Andrew Jackson's qualifications. I agree that a man responsible for genocide and economic tolls on the country should not be represented on the bill.

    Abraham, on the other hand, conceded to his rules and does as he is told without even the slightest hesitation. He made his slow venture up the mountain, to the exact place God had shown him, and, builds the altar then ties his son up and getting him ready for the sacrificing (Gen 22:9). But at this point the Lord stopped him. Without shame, for he did as he was told, he announced “Here I am” (Gen 22 :11). This is unlike Adam whom has to hide himself for going against the Lords will earlier in chapter three of Genesis. And unlike in chapter three, instead of getting reprimanded and punished, Abraham is blessed by the Lord (Gen 22 :16-19), for he did what he was told even though it was a great loss in his family.

  • Moses VS Abraham

    1283 Words  | 3 Pages

    In conclusion, both Abraham and Moses were great leaders of their people. Moses had the extra burden of freeing them first, however they both ended up convincing their people to put their faith in God and lead them properly. As far as their relationship with God goes, they both had undoubting faith in the end, but Moses had different relationship with God initially since he questioned himself. Abraham did everything God told him to without question, including almost having to sacrifice his son. They both ended up caring out their respective covenants, both dealing with the promise of a new land filled with glory. The last point is that they communicated a bit differently with God. Moses talked to God directly, in the form of a burning bush, and through prayer. Abraham only conversed with God through prayer. In short, both men of God had many similarities and differences, in various aspects of their lives and connection with God.

    d. What surprised you about the Book of Numbers? What surprised me about the book of The budding of Aarons staff was a surprise that it is an example of rebellion, when budding is a sign of life. This reminds me of Jesus, where our rebellion is a sign that we need new life, and God gave it and we need only to receive it. The book of Numbers has stories nestled in the census of numbers. Like donkey’s who are smarter then their owners and battles that belong to the Lord and budding sticks with fruit. God has

  • Reflection Of Abraham

    1339 Words  | 3 Pages

    Abraham is the uniting figure between the three religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. But while he is the common thread between them, there are major differences between the way he is portrayed in each of the religions. Different parts of his story are emphasized, left out, or added in depending on which religious texts you look at between the religions, and these lend insight into the way that each religion views Abraham, his purpose, and his relationship with God. In the Holy Quran, Abraham’s story has a huge emphasis on preaching and spreading his religion to pagans which is lacking in Christianity, but Abraham is still the perfect example of a devout and faithful follower in all of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Furthermore,
