When growing up as a Christian, some of the first Bible stories ever told are the stories found in Genesis. These stories were a fun and simple place to start for young Christians, but behind them all are important moral stories. However, as a child most of these morals were harder to see and it isn’t until later that they are brought to attention. The story of Noah is no different, in the fact that it contains several great morals that are applicable today. Before discussing the morals of the

made me sore for 4 days after that whipping. and from experience, I can say for certain. He is going to feel that in the morning, if not the next week. I will tell you this one thing, before I return to my story. The fact is in here, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob does not live in here. God in this place he is taught to be as

Noah and the Ark (Genesis 9:1), in my opinion, is the strongest covenant with God and man because of his strong faith in God and his motivation. The story of Noah and the Ark tells of a righteous man in a world of sin without moral obedience. The story took place in the country of Egypt. The basic plot of Noah and the Ark is that God sees earth is full of sin and chooses Noah to build and ark so he can wipe the world clean from sin. Noah had to sin and he also rejected others bad influences. Noah

context, I observe, that the powerless concubine became all powerful-she ran away twice from Sara. Her reasons for doing so might be many, most notable being that Hagar was the biological mother of Ishmael, and further the tables turned when Sara asked Abraham to send Hagar away-there is a shift in the power roles. Hagar’s acts of running away from Sara twice helps me perceive Hagar taking over the role of an oppressor from her former role of one being oppressed. To explicate this, as a maid, Hagar was

Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling explores the story of Abraham and Isaac by discussing the extent to which one would go to exert their full commitment to a religion. He believes that religion is something beyond or more than belief and practice. The story of Abraham and Isaac is a story of faith versus ethics. God tested Abraham by commanding him to take his only son Isaac and sacrifice him on a mountain. (Gn 22:1-2) Right before he is about to kill his son, he is stopped by one of God’s angels and

Rebecca and the Covenant Rebecca was the daughter of Bethuel the son of Nahor, and she was the wife of Isaac the son of Abraham. She was one of the people whom god made a covenant with after Noah, Abraham, and Isaac. God promised Rebecca that she will be the mother of two nations because she was pregnant with twins. Also, she was promised by god that the descendants of the younger son would be stronger than the descendants of the elder son and that the elder son should serve the younger

Abraham tested and Jesus feed 5000 have similarities and differences throughout each myth. In the first story Abraham tested, God put Abraham through a test. God told Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son Isaac.God sayed , “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah….”.Even though this was an hard thing for Abraham to except he went along with God's plan. So Abraham brought his son Isaac, two servants and a donkey along on his trip to the Moriah region to

the verse from last week: Gen.17:1 II. Genesis 18:1-15 Abraham received visitors. 4. (1) In what form did God reveal Himself to Abraham? (18:1-2,22) (2) How did Abraham entertained his guests? How does this serve as a reminder to you? (Math.25:35,40; Rom.12:13; 1st Tim.3:2) (3) Who are those you need to receive currently? (Math.10:41;

stories are where he began. These purposeful stories consist of; Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac, Dinah’s rape, and the Potiphar’s wife sexually harassing Joseph. Firstly, Abraham was promised by God that he was going to bless his family and make great nations out of his descendants (Gen. 12:1-3). God first told Abraham this when he was commanded by God to leave all that he knew to go live in an unknown land. Then, because Abraham trusted God and followed his command he was enlightened in the fact

Abraham established the pilgrimage to Mecca at God’s command through the experience of building the Ka’ba with his son Ishmael (Muslim Traditions 248). In a way, the pilgrimage is understood as a reenactment of the event between Abram, God, and his son – which is why men and women who attend hajj participate in many ritualistic tasks and performances (Western Traditions 248). These rituals include throwing seven stones at a pillar, which represents Satan, because it was said that Abraham had
