offspring of the tribe of Judah. There is a religious foundation that uses Ishmael, Abraham's first son
as claim to the promise of Abraham. (Gene. 17: 15 – 19), but the promise of Abraham was through
his wife's son, Sarah, Isaac, for its written, "Through Isaac shall thy seed be called" also, "As far as
Ishmael, I have heard you, behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply
him exceedingly. He shall beget 12 princes and I will make him a great nation, but my covenant I
will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year." (Gen.17: 20 –21)

The God Of The Pharaoh Of Egypt
1. Well, Moses was suppose to approach God with no sandals on. God told him that "Take off your
sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."
When Moses saw the fire in the bush, but the bush wasn't burning, he became curious, and decided
to go over and see the strange sight.
God asked Moses to take out his sandals.
Moses reply was, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt"
I am just one man, a prophet Lord, how are my to tell the pharaoh of Egypt to let your people go.
God replied that, "I will be with you." 2. This is the objection Moses raised. "Suppose I go to the
Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is
his name?' Then what shall I tell them"
God replied that, "I am who I am." God said he should let the Israelites that know I am has sent me
to you.
Well this is a bit tricky. Since "I am who I am." Means the existing Being, I AM HE WHO IS, and
WHO WILL BE or self existent. These all mean to me someone who is forever, and has been around
since the beginning and will forever be. My best bets are, he is alluding to the the beginning of

Analysis Of Hebron Israel By Miriam Levinger
In the 18th century, where Israel will be is occupied by Palestinians. Over time, Jews enter this land
as well, fleeing Germany after WWII. The UN grants Jews a nation–state called Israel in 1948, but
this just causes a Civil War to break out between Jews and Palestinians. After this war Jews occupy
a lot of the land. In 1967 the Six Days War occurs, and Jews occupy West Bank and Gaza. They
only occupy land with the military because by law they are not allowed to have their own people in
the country to hopefully prevent annexation. After some time, Jews choose to ignore this law and
they live among Palestinians. They use military force to keep it from the Palestinians overthrowing
them, and they also do not allow Palestinians citizenship. Jews believe they have the right to this
land because they are ancestors of Abraham, who owned this land and is buried here. This claim is
made by Miriam Levinger as well and is based on an interpretation of Genesis 23.
Miriam Levinger's interpretation of the bible was driven by the literal text and the idea that this text
speaks to the present while mine was driven by the narrator's voice and influence on the plot and
characters. Miriam is a Jew who is living in Hebron, she claims that she has the right to live there:
"Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are my forefathers" ("Hebron Israel, "Miriam Levinger Hebron 1981").
Here, Miriam is interpreting saying that according to Genesis 23, since she is a descendant of
Abraham, she has a right to this

We have learned the story of creation is presents in the Book of Genesis. Sabbath represents that
there is only six days of creation and the seventh days is meant for rest. The darkness, heaven,

is learnt that there should a one day of the rest for the social justice and the workers. It is clearly
explained that creating Adam before Even does not mean that the males are dominant over female.
After reading the Bible readers create a lot of misinterpretation and misunderstandings about many
things like there is lot of superiority to Adam or Eve in the bible. A lot of misunderstanding and
misinterpretation of the Bible comes from readers who think Adam or Eve has superiority in the

God he created them; male and female he created them" (Gen. 1:27 NRSV).

El Elyon
EL the name of God means strength, might, and power and Elyon literally means "Most High" and
is used throughout the Old Testament. It expresses the extreme sovereignty and majesty of God and
His highest preeminence. When the two words El and Elyon are combined – it can be translated as
"the most exalted God."(Psa 57:2)
We know God by many name but there is one name that reign supreme "El Elyon" Abram in chapter
14 of Genesis was faced with a crisis His nephew Lot with his family and possessions were taken
captive by four armies lead by four kings. Abram gather 318 of his servants and went after Lot to
free him. 318 men with minimal armament verses four well trained and equipped armies. What
could Abram have been thinking? Abram had Three (3) promise from God, you see in chapter
12:2,3,7. 2 The Lord spoke with Abram saying "I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you
and make your name great. Second, 3 I will bless them that bless you, and curse them that curse
you: Thirdly 7 "Unto thy seed I will give this land:". By faith Abram went after Lot because all of
God's promises to him were futuristic. One Abram was not at this time a great nation. Two, a

Essay Muhammad, by Michael Cook
The book Muhammad, by Michael Cook, describes the impact Muhammad has had on the world as
we know it. It explains why Muhammad chose the paths he did, and how certain laws came about.
Cook offers a very objective view of the laws and policies Muhammad outlined in the Koran, and
the traditions that are carried on that supplement his written law.
The author first summarizes the historical life of Muhammad. This begins with his birth and life
before he was given his mission. Next comes his struggle to spread his religion. Since the days of
Abraham, people had fallen back to worshipping many Gods. Muhammad's task was to restore
monotheism that Abraham had established. To do this, he had to move to Medina for protection.

If this is a once in a lifetime deal, shouldn't they spend more time at God's house? I disagree with the
author on this point, because every part of the Hajj is sacred to a Muslim, and should be exercised in
order to celebrate the tradition.
The Koran places restrictions on one's diet, especially dealing with how which meats one can eat.
The Koran tends to illustrate which foods are forbidden rather than those that one is allowed to eat.
The only animal that there is an outright ban on is the pig. As for animals that are permitted, it
specifies the ways that this meat may become forbidden. These ways include eating meat that is
already dead, or meat fro an animal that has been strangled to death. The author goes on to quibble
with other ways that a meat may or may not be forbidden; asking if hares, shellfish and lizards are
acceptable foods. Some things need to be left up to common sense. As described, the Koran does a
good job laying the ground rules for this area, and certain things any levelheaded person can figure
out for themselves.
Muhammad set rules that restricted women, and Cook takes a critical view of these policies. Women
were only entitled to half the inheritance that men are, polygamy and concubines were allowed, and
women were easily divorced. It is true that these notions are absurd in the present day, but it was
common practice in the days Muhammad lived in. In many ways, the Koran took steps to ensure
that woman had certain minimal

A Brief Look at Genesis
Genesis
The author of Genesis is anonymous but most scholars attribute its composure to Moses. Genesis is
believed to have been dated to around 1445 BC (Illustrated Bible Survey an Introduction,
2013).Genesis is part of the Pentateuch or 5 scrolls (Illustrated Bible Survey an Introduction, 2013).
It was written for the Israelites to understand their history and creation. Genesis is the beginning.
This book begins at our creation. It describes our creation and purpose. The creation of the world
and its inhabitants and expansive space (i.e. other planets, galaxies and stars) is all discussed within
its pages. We see where we began and how we ended up where we are, living a sin nature. It
discusses our fall and original sin. Adam and Eve God's original creation sinned and were exiled
from the Garden of Eden. We see the God's judgment in the flood. This is where God sees our evil
and floods the Earth only sparing Noah and his family. Our foolish acts that lead to various
languages and nations from the tower of Babel can be found in Genesis 10:1–11:9. The patriarchs of
the Bible begin here. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph can be found within Genesis.
This is the creation of the covenant relationship with God. The Abrahamic Covenant begins here in
Genesis 12:1–13 (Illustrated Bible Survey an Introduction, 2013). Here we learn what blessing God
has in store for the Israelites.

Importance Of The Views Of Karl Marx And Abraham Kuyper
Taylor Neuroth
Dr. Scott Culpepper
Modern Western Culture The importance of the views of Karl Marx and Abraham Kuyper are
detrimental to the growth in society. When looking at two different ideas, people are able to pick up
more information and better solutions. This is where the saying two brains is greater than one comes
to play. While looking at different views people can come up with different ideas on how to solve a
problem. The main purpose is to look at Marx's and Kuyper's ideas of human nature, main causes of
social inequality and economic hardship, the solution, assumptions that come with the solutions, and
if their ideas hold up in the twenty–first century.
Marx has the idea that human nature is based on communism. Through history we see the
oppressors and the oppressed in some type of battle. There are examples in history such as,
"Freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild–master and journeyman..." (Marx,
14) who Marx brings up. The usual way the conflict is resolved is by revolution or in the classes'
common ruin. Looking back at the examples that Marx has given, all of the conflicts were ended in
revolution or in the classes' common ruin. Marx's believes that humans have the capability of
making and shaping their nature. Marx sees human nature being more pushed towards social
relations rather than as a species. Throughout history, society has been arranged into different class
structures. In the Middle Ages, the classes were set up

Flood Vs Gilgamesh
How would the world be if all humans were wiped off the surface of the earth? Based on The Epic
of Gilgamesh and The Story of the Flood, there were main characters. Noah, Gilgamesh, and
Utnapishtim. In Genesis, (The Story of the Flood), Noah was told to build an Ark due to God being
frustrated and upset. This madness lead to a flood. This same concept goes for The Epic of
Gilgamesh. It was about a god that survived a flood and told Gilgamesh about it.
Based on The Epic of Gilgamesh it talks about a god that survived a flood and told Gilgamesh about
it. This story is also like Noah in the book of Genesis. God is frustrated with his creation (humans)

In the Epic of Gilgamesh and The Story of the Flood two brave men, Gilgamesh and Noah, were
chosen by their god for because of there pure hearts. Both built a vessel and with their families,
survived the flood and their names have lived on forever.
Not only were there similarities but there were differences. Gilgamesh worshiped many gods. One
of the gods was named Enlil. He ended up flooding the earth due to frustration with humans.
Utnapishtim, which later became a god, survived this. Gilgamesh wanted to know how to gain
immortality. Though he was half god half human, he wanted more power. Utnapishtim then told him
about a story of how he got his. He then gave Gilgamesh a quest to obtain his desire. Gilgamesh
sadly ends up failing his quest, but his name becomes known after time passed.
Noah is a man that worshiped only one God. Noah was kept during the flood because God saw that
he was pure, unlike the rest. Noah didn't want immortality because he knew God would help provide
things for him. Noah followed God's words through the whole journey. After the flood, Noah could
live out his life to the fullest.
There are lots of differences based on there two stories. It's mostly based on beliefs, religious and
their character. These two guys both had a goal and with their gods on their side.

Abraham As A Creator And Father In The Bible
Abraham– Originally Abram, is portrayed as a founder and father in all three holy books, (the New
Testament, the Quran, and Bible) specifically in the Bible, he is referred to as a "spiritual father".
The story in the Bible says that after the flood, and the death of Noah, 350 years after Noah's Ark, a
man is born and his name is Abraham. God calls upon Abraham living in Haran, a city in upper
Mesopotamia, with his father Terah, and his wife, Sarai, or (Sarah). God makes a covenant with
Abram, promising to make Abram's descendants into a great nation. After hearing this from God,
Abram agrees to leave his home and move southwest to Canaan with his wife and his nephew, Lot,
to a land which God has promised to give to Abram's descendants. Abram takes up residence there
and creates several altars throughout the land as symbols to prove his devotion to God. Soon after
his stay in Egypt, Abram becomes wealthy and returns to Canaan, and with the help of 318 men, he
defeats marauding armies from the East that has descended upon Sodom, where Lot is currently
living. The king of Sodom recognizes Abram for his great deed, and the priest Melchizedek blesses
Abram with a gift of bread and wine. Soon after, God comes to him again, telling Abraham that he
and Sarah will have a child of his own, and when Abraham is 100 and his wife is 90, God gives
them a child, named Isaac, his name meaning happiness. Once Isaac is older, Abraham is once
again, asked to prove his devotion to God, this

Theme Of Genesis 12-50
The two major themes of Genesis 12–50 are "be fruitful and multiply" and "fill the earth." These
two themes are first stated in Genesis 1:28, but recur many times throughout Genesis, especially
with Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob. One challenge Abraham faces in regards to the
blessing of progeny is his wife's, Sarah's, barrenness. This barrenness is a fact of her existence.
(Brown, 309) At first Sarah gives Abraham one of her slaves, Hagar, in order for him to have a
child. (Gen. 16) This is exploitation, but when Hagar becomes pregnant, it improves her situation
from being just a slave, to being protected because she is pregnant. (Weems) Hagar gives birth to
Ishmael, Abraham's first born. After this, God opens Sarah's womb and she is able to have a child,
Isaac. (Gen. 21) Sarah then has Ishmael and Hagar sent away because she wants Isaac to receive the
full inheritance by himself. But God promises Abraham that a nation will be made from Ishmael as
well as Isaac. (Gen. 21) This shows that God favors the oppressed, especially since he takes care of
Hagar and Ishmael while they are in the wilderness. (Tamez, 13) By sending Ishmael out into the
wilderness to form a nation, it fulfills the "fill the earth" promise that God made to Abraham. (Sarah

Judaism Vs. Islam : The Beliefs Of Judaism And Islam
Judaism and Islam have a large history of fighting which has separated them significantly but they
have also grown similarly side by side. On one hand there is the oldest religion and on the other one
there is the youngest religion but both of them possess the same belief in monotheism, and to a large
extent a similar code of law and scriptural authority. These religions share a similar creation story
and patriarchy, since the roots of these two are to be found in the basin of Mesopotamia, dubbed the
"Fertile Crescent" of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The story is used here as an opening to
introduce a religious law effecting God and the surrounding area of the Arab nations, the Hebrews,
the Muslims, and even a mention of Mesopotamian law. Chatim Potok phrases their story in his
book Wanderings: Chaim Potok's history of the Jews and he wrote "Abraham was probably born in
the Sumerian City of Ur four thousand years ago a scholar invented a label for the descendants of
Shem; he called them Semites," (23).1 Their two sons had ancestry from both the Hebrew peoples
and Arab peoples. In their old age Abraham and Sarah still had yet to conceive and Abraham was
accordingly promised to have a son by God. Luckily for them there was a Mesopotamian law which
stated a man could have many wives, and if a legitimate wife could not bear him children, he could
take a servant as a wife. This was an issue because Sarah was supposedly barren, so since that was
the custom and law, she had

Conflict Between Believer And The Unbeliever
Among many scholars, there is a general agreement concerning every scientific investigation, which
should proceed in full consciousness from a specific starting point that in theology is the ontological
Trinity. Kuyper acknowledges that around the epistemological investigation of the phenomena, there
is a particular area of common territory without methodological dispute between the believer and the
unbeliever. Thus, according to Kuyper's view, there are three territories in which both the believers
and unbelievers' interpretation of fact can interact: all natural (lower) sciences, the lower spiritual
sciences and logic. For these areas, says Kuyper, "As a result all scientific research that deals with
the ὁρατά only, or is carried on only by those subjective elements, which did not undergo a change,
remains common to both. At the beginning of the road the tree of science is common to all."
However, while Van Til agrees with the validity of this distinction, he also argues that this
compromises the starting–point of the ontological Trinity and leads Kuyper's interpretation into the
Scholastic and Kantian 's direction, because within the distinction of these respective territories, he
allows a common area of investigation of the various phenomena.
On the one hand, Kuyper represents the "lower" territories of epistemological investigation such as
the physical sciences, namely the lower spiritual sciences and logic. The two different groups of
inquirers can cooperate in these

In the Brome version of The Sacrifice of Isaac, the suspense created by the emotionally charged
dialogue is likely what kept the audience's attention. While it is incredibly likely that the audience
knew the entire story, the emotional flavor of the dialogue, such as Abraham's innocent expressions
of his love of and thankfulness for Isaac at the beginning of the play, is bound to evoke a certain
concern for the characters which dims the audience's foreknowledge of the tale's happy ending. It is

The playwright is open with regards to God's reason in asking for the sacrifice of the most useful
and beloved of Abraham's sons. As He says in lines 33–34, "I schall asay now his good will, /
Whether he lovith better his child or me." In other words, God is jealous, an emotion that I find
badly suited to an omnipotent deity, but that the Old Testament emphasizes as one of God's primary
motivations.
When the angel first tells Abraham of God's wishes, Abraham states that he has never begrudged
God anything, and although it pains him greatly, he will not begrudge God the sacrifice of his son.
When he makes this speech, it appears that Abraham is accepting his fate with a brave face and a
pounding heart, hoping that his bold acceptance of something he obviously feels is wrong will cause
God to back down from his request. At this point, the audience, too, stands with brave faces and
pounding hearts, waiting to hear God's acknowledgement of Abraham's acceptance. I certainly
found myself mimicking Abraham's stance, gripping my book in the delicate but powerful hold of
one who is anxious and uncertain. "Will God go through with it?" I asked myself, unable to peel my
eyes from the pages and realise that I knew how this story was constructed. I imagine that the
sensation is even stronger if the play is watched instead of read.

Ibn Battuta And Islam : The Rise Of Islam
The Medieval period lasted from 500 AD to 1500 AD. With the fall and transformations of several
empires Islam was conquering and increasing trade which caused its cultural interaction to spread.
This caused for the Rise of Islam and an empire to occur, this came about because the key figure for
the religion was Mohammed which was believed to be the last prophet, and also the way the religion
unified people and communities that were at conflict with it's monotheistic belief. At this moment in
time, Islam was at its highest peak. Many mosques, libraries and schools were being built that
expanded the knowledge on Islam. With the rise of Islam many Muslim political characters, cultural
icons, travelers, and people of science became well known. Two of the many travelers and political
characters became known which were Ibn Battuta and King Mansa Musa. Ibn Battuta was a famous
Moroccan traveler who was raised in a family of scholars whom traveled thousand of miles starting
at the age of twenty–one. Ibn Battuta started his journey at first with the goal of going to Mecca, and
he ended up traveling over 40 countries. Mansa Musa was the first Muslim African King who ruled
the empire of Mali, and is mostly known for his massive wealth that he had. Mansa Musa caused
mass inflation that lasted for years, this was because Musa had made a lot of generous donations to
the poor, and gave out so much gold. On his return from Mecca, Mansa Musa had hired architects
and scholars that he

Communist Manifesto And Abraham Kuyper 's The Problem Of...
The skies are an eternal grey, the sun is hardly seen, and people hurriedly rush to a meaningless job
only to stumble back to a home in squalor. The grey of the skies is a perfect match for the people's
spirits. Hope, like the sun, becomes shrouded in a smoky cloud as the jobs provided to these people
offer little in wages and even less in purpose. This is the life facing the proletariat, wage–labor
social class or working poor. In contrast, the employers of the poor caste live rather lavish lives of
wealth and stature. The bourgeois, upper middle–class consisting of business owners, shop owners,
landlords, otherwise known as the wealthy employers. It is this contrast of social struggle that
produced Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto and Abraham Kuyper's The Problem of Poverty. Both
Marx and Kuyper's writings focus on the social struggle between the privileged, wealthy, and
unprivileged, poor; however, Marx presents the struggle and his solution from an economic
viewpoint while Kuyper presents the struggle and his solution from a religious viewpoint. Marx
begins his presentation with a defining of both socio–economic groups then presents the political
movement of Communism as a solution to the contrast. Kuyper, on the other hand, focuses his
presentation on the idolization of monetary wealth over the sovereignty of God beginning at the
conclusion of the French Revolution. Kuyper's writing not only presents a religious solution to class
struggle, but is also a response of

Abrahamic Religions : Judaism, Christianity, And Islam
Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the three key Western Religions they
all exercise monotheism, achieving peace though justice, God's love and mercy, all three trace back
to the prophet Abraham in some way, even though he was first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
These three religions are very closely unified because they share many common beliefs and
thoughts, and they all rely on holy books or scriptures as a life–guided tool. While these religions do
have a lot of the same beliefs, some are conflicting, which is what makes them their own unique
religions.
Christianity is the world's most popular and practiced religion. Christianity arose in the city of ...
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death." (Rev.21.8,KJV) One thing that separates Christianity from
the other two religions is the outlook on Jesus Christ, we believe that in the Book of John it is said
that Jesus is 100 percent man and 100 percent God, and he died for the sins of the World by
crucifixion, and that he now sits in heaven with a new, resurrected body, waiting to come back and
reclaim the Earth. In Judaism, they do not really think anything of Jesus, they believe God is
Yahweh, and that alone. They do not think of Jesus as a messiah or anything close. In the Islamic
religion, they also believe that Allah is the only part of God, but they do credit Jesus to be the only
man free of sin to ever live, but they do not think of him as the Messiah either, only a prophet.
Judaism is practiced by a much smaller amount of people than Christianity, even though they share
some of the same core values. The ultimate belief of Judaism is that there is only one God
(Yahweh), making it a monotheistic Abrahamic religion as well. The people who practice Judaism
use the Torah as their foundational text, which is the law of God as it was revealed to Abraham, and
then to Moses and recorded in the first

The Hebrew Understanding Of The Abrahamic Covenant
The Abrahamic Covenant is the foundation upon which the three major world religions, Christianity,
Islam, and Judaism, stand. The story of Abraham and his descendants is the exemplum of each of
these faiths and is pivotal to the understanding of world history when analyzed through the lens of
theological worldviews. However, in this course, the theological worldview of the Hebrew people
has been at the forefront, as they are the focus of the Tanakh. As a result, this essay will seek to
analyze the Abrahamic Covenant from the perspective of the Hebrew people, as chronicled in the
Hebrew holy text. First outlined in Genesis, the Abrahamic Covenant is of special significance to the
Hebrew people. From the beginning of the Tanakh to the end, both the covenant and its perception
in the minds of the Hebrew people develop and evolve as historical events and intense theological
debates unfold within the texts. Ultimately, the Hebrew understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant is
greatly enhanced and complemented by these developments, and an analysis of passages from each
of the Tanakh's three subdivisions can provide a clearer picture as to why this is.
Torah
The Torah ("instruction, teaching") is the first subdivision of the Tanakh, and within it, the
Abrahamic Covenant is established and defined. In Genesis 12:1–3, God calls upon a humble,
unpresuming, and faithful man from Ur of the Chaldeans, Abraham, to accept His command and
follows it with a remarkable promise:

past ten years the population of Europe has been steadily declining. It heard by many that their
largest cities are starting to slowly become less crowded. However, in the suburb areas, they have
seen a greater birthrate than before. The main reason why they are experiencing a higher birthrate is
that the suburbs are more affordable than the city home areas. It's a very common thing to happen in
the United States, but it's very uncommon in Europe. 4.) List and discuss at least three (3)

God 's Fourth Speech With Noah
Introduction
God's fourth speech with Noah (9:1–17) is a cluster of three sub–speeches, which will be further
explored in this analysis. Similar aspects of Genesis 1 are echoed; a new cosmic order is installed,
initiating a pre creation period. God blesses the humans and commissions them to take domination
over all creatures. This passage is of great importance to not just the Genesis story but also the Old
Testament as a whole. I will further depict central meanings throughout the passage, as well as
investigate literary aspects in order to grasp a greater understanding of this chapter.
Covenants are the promise and obligation between two or more people. At the beginning of this
chapter in the Genesis, the Covenant between God and Noah ... Show more content on

(5:1–9:29) The opening line "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth (Ge 9:1)"
establishes a start in a significant period of time. While Adam and Eve were asked a similar
command from God, their sins and disobedience was the end of the beginning.
The Noahic covenant is the covenant that God made with Noah after he left the ark, sealed with a
rainbow, that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood. The narrative of Noah and the
Ark is one of the most well known stories from the Old Testament. In some of its artistic
representations, it is characterised as a story of an old man who takes pairs of animals onto an ark to
ride out an incredible flood, safely coming to rest as a rainbow appears in the sky. Whilst the
essence of this is recorded in the Genesis account of the Flood, the biblical narrative is much more
than this unusual story. It is a narrative written in the context of an Israelite community, striving to
understand and interpret the way their God works in and through both humanity and the world God
has created for all.

The passage, Genesis 9: 1–17 in the Old Testament draws on the themes explored throughout the

Exam One How does each of the following religions reflect the importance of revelation: Judaism,
Christianity, Islam? What do these faiths have in common? What are their main differences?
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all faith based religions with the shared belief in revelation,
which in the text is described as " the divine disclosure of sacred knowledge" (Ch. 4 Pg. 95). All
three of these religions show the importance of revelation, whether it be through John the Baptist in
the jordan river, through Muhammad in the Arabian desert, or through a burning bush in the middle
of the desert with Moses. In Christianity the importance of revelation is shown through none ...
I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their
suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up
out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey–the home of the
Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites
has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am
sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." But Moses said to God,
"Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" And God said, "I will
be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought
the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Moses said to God, "Suppose I go
to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me,
'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what
you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.'" God also said to Moses, "Say to the
Israelites, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of
Jacob–has sent me to you.' "This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to
generation. "Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

The Life of Abraham Essay example
God selected Abraham to be the father of the His people. The bible does not directly state why God
selected him, but after reading scripture one can conclude that God selected Abraham due to his
great faith. Abraham's life lends itself as an example to all who desire to walk with God.
EARLY LIFE
Abraham was one of three sons born to Terah in the city of Ur of the Chaldeans. Research conducted
by Elmer Towns indicates that Abraham was younger than his two brothers, Nahor and Haran,
although the bible does not specifically indicate that (56). The exact date of his birth cannot be
determined, but it is estimated to have been between 2100 and 1800 B.C. (Davis, 159). He was born
after the flood and through the family line of Shem, ten ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The bible does not indicate how long Abraham lived in Haran, but it does say that he remained there
until his father's death. At this juncture in Abraham's life, God again called out to him.
RESPONSE TO GOD'S CALL
In reaction to God's call, Abraham departed Haran enroute to Canaan. At 75 years of age, he
abandoned his way of life assembled his wife, his nephew Lot, his servants, livestock, and material
possessions and moved in accordance with God's leading. Abraham's obedience to God serves as an
example for all believers to emulate. He left his "comfort zone" of living to follow God's spoken
promises even though there was definite uncertainty as to how they were going to come to pass.
Abraham sojourned in faith as God led him on his journey through the land of Canaan. He
demonstrated a pattern of reliance on and fellowship with God during his trek by building altars at
stops along the way. Genesis 12:7 points out that God spoke to Abraham in Shechem, promising the
land to his descendants and Abraham constructed an altar. Genesis 12:8 shows that Abraham
communed with God after moving from Shechem to Bethel by erecting an altar. Abraham's
movements through Canaan appear to be at God's leading and as a result of their communion, but
God does not yet give him possession of the land. The land through which he and his family are
traveling is occupied by other inhabitants. A key point here is that while Abraham and his family are
traveling as

Relationship Between God And God
God created the Earth from chaos and He created humans in His own image to rule this Earth. Yet
human beings did not resemble God's vision for them. God intervened in attempt to bring human
beings back to His initial vision of this image. Throughout this process of God's intervention, the
relationship between human beings and God evolved. As the relationship progresses through the
stories of Adam and Eve, Noah and Abraham the intervention's of God change shape shifts their
relationship. As the various episodes show, the interactions between the divine and the human
evolve into a more intimate relationship. Eventually this intimate relationship development with
Abraham gives insight into the meaning of faith.
In the story of Adam and Eve, their exile is God's punishment for them of straying off the path that
He had planned for them. "For dust you are and to dust shall you return" in this God explains that
man is not the equivalent to God but instead He is a mere mortal (Gen. 3:19). This quote reaffirms
the idea of the relationship of Gods and humans in two ways. The first is that God's intervention is
one of punishment. God is punishing man for his misdeeds. His intervention is reaffirming the
separation between God and humans. He begins to establish the relationship that He is the almighty
that rules over all. The relationship between the humans and God shows one of mistrust and
division. Humans betray the trust of God, when they eat the apple. But God does not understand

Promises To Keep Essay
Promises To Keep
The covenant has been a major theme in the books of Genesis and Exodus. A covenant is an
agreement between two parties, which is not intended to be broken. On several occasions, God has
established a covenant with certain people in order to bless them. In return, they would love, serve,
and obey Him as their one true God.
The first major covenant God made was with Noah. During Noah's time, the world became a haven
of wickedness in a multitude of ways. God's heart was grieved from the world's iniquities and
decided to wipe mankind from the face of the earth. However, he found favor with Noah, who was
righteous and loved the Lord. It is fitting God loved Noah; "Noah means comfort." (Alter, Genesis ,
Gen. 5:9) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
12:1–3) Abram then experienced a theophany with God and established a covenant with Him, which
became known as the Abrahamic Covenant. God said his name is to be Abraham, which according
to Alter means "father of many". (Alter, ) The Lord said, "I will establish my covenant as an
everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendents after you for the generations to
come, to be your God and the God of your descendents after you." (Gen. 17:7) The sign of the
covenant was for Abraham's male descendents to be circumcised.
Moses was next to have a covenant with God, which became known as the Mosaic Covenant.
Because of a famine in Canaan, the Israelites moved to the "Land of the Pharaohs", Egypt. Although
the Israelites were not great in number yet, they grew tremendously as the generations passed. This
period of time saw Egypt in their New Kingdom, where imperialism was a key focus. "It was
Rameses II who reigned from 1290 – 1224 B.C." (McKay, 25) They feared the Israelites would
eventually outnumber and overpower the Egyptians. Therefore, they enslaved the Israelites and
oppressed them greatly. For example, "When the subjugation was at its worst, the Egyptians forced
upon the Israelites an unreasonable quota of bricks. If the Israelites failed to fill the quota of bricks,
their children were killed in front of them, and the bodies were mixed into the brick–mortar." (Being

Karl Marx And Abraham Kuyper: A Comparative Analysis
Understanding the worldviews of Karl Marx and Abraham Kuyper are imperative to understanding
the reasoning that they have behind their respective books and how they respond to the poverty that
they see around them. Kuyper addresses poverty as a part of our sinful world and Marx sees it as a
direct result of the greed of capitalism and the rich upper class or bourgeoisie. It is important to note
that these two authors, although different in their fundamental beliefs, both wanted to solve the
problem of poverty and both knew that greed played a part in creating that poverty. Examining
Communist Manifesto and The Problem with Poverty shows how these two men believed poverty
should be dealt with and the vision that they wanted to see. In order to properly understand the ideas
found in the Communist Manifesto, it must be understood who Karl Marx was and the assumptions
that he makes while writing his book. Marx was raised in the middle class and went to school to
study philosophy. His first job was working for a newspaper that wrote about and supported the
working class. Marx was exposed to the terrible conditions and lifestyles that the working class had.

He was a very strong Protestant that spoke against poverty like Marx. But his approach to the
problem of poverty was very different from Marx. Kuyper believed that sin was the primary cause
of the poverty around him, not the bourgeoisie exploitation of the poor. This is evident when he
says, "Both error and sin joined forces to enthrone false principles that violated human nature."(26
Kuyper) These principals that Kuyper is referring to is the faults of capitalism that results in the poor
being poorer and the rich being richer. Kuyper believe that the "violation of human nature" or the
exploitation of the poor is caused by sin. This fundamental belief that he has is very important and

The God Of Genesis : Biblical And Destruction Of Humankind
The book of Genesis explains the creation and destruction of humankind, whilst establishing
Abraham as the primary patriarch. Exodus focuses on Moses as he guides the Hebrews out of Egypt
and the rules the Hebrews must obey in order to thrive in Israel. The scriptures in Deuteronomy
continue the description of the commandments. But, the book of Joshua deviates away from the
focus of the previous chapters. Instead of the chain of power moving from the prophets and onto
their sons, Joshua, Moses' servant, becomes the new prophet. A family god focuses their attention
onto the immediate bloodline, like in the case of Abraham's lineage, as opposed to an overall
population. The god of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Joshua does not solely communicate
with, and hand down power and knowledge to, the lineal descendants of a particular person, but to
all of the Hebrews.
The first instance of God communicating with a person who is not a bloodline descendent of
Abraham takes places in Genesis. When Sarah is unable to conceive a child with Abraham, she
sends her servant, Hagar, to produce a son with him. After the consummation, Hagar "looked with
contempt at [Sarah]", which offended Sarah (Genesis 16: 4). After this happens, God sends an angel
to communicate with Hagar. She is given a similar promise as Abraham, that a great nation will be
made of him (Genesis 12:2). Hagar is promised that her offspring will multiply so "that they cannot
be counted for multitude" (Genesis 16:10). In

The Similarities Of The Flood Characters Of Gilgamesh And...
Though Gilgamesh and Genesis are completely different stories, they both contain flood narratives
that have similarities and differences within each. The three comparable points in these texts deal
with the gods and heroes of the stories. First the gods in these narratives all have a specific reason
behind their decision to wipe out mankind. Second the unique characteristics of the heroes or
survivors of the flood are shown throughout the events of the texts. Finally the gods who bring these
floods upon earth all reveal their qualities through their actions against humanity. These three topics
relate from one book to another in many ways. Before each of the floods there are reasons that each
god decides to eliminate the people on earth. In Gilgamesh the god Enlil chooses to destroy
humanity with a flood because it is the best way to get rid of the individuals who have sinned. After
the flood the god Ea says "Let him who has performed an evil act be punished for that act. Let not
the flood be brought down on the heads of all for what one man has done..."(Ferry 74). This
statement shows how Enlil punished all of mankind when most of them weren't to blame. On the
contrary, in Genesis Gods motive for destroying humanity with a flood is that the world was turning
evil and cruel, which was not what God intended. God's thoughts are shown through the following
quote "The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination

The Posture Of Prayer : An Islamic And Christian...
The Posture of Prayer: An Islamic and Christian Perspective Communication: The Basis of Life
Islam, Judaism and Christianity are three of the world's great monotheistic faiths. They share not
only many of the same holy sites, such as Jerusalem, and prophets and patriarchs, such as Abraham;
but also the many practices and beliefs such as prayer, ablutions, and strong familial ties of the
patriarch and others before him. Collectively, scholars refer to these three religions as the Abrahamic
faiths, due to the fact that Abraham and his descendants are dynamic protagonists in the founding of
these religions. The posture of prayer in our context deals with the physical posture as well as the
spiritual posture and prostration of the body, mind, and spirit. Note that there are countless
circumstances in the Bible where men and women not only bowed before Deity but also before
those held in high esteem; whether it be to the king supreme or to the head of household; the
showing of respect via the posture of prostrating was common in many circles. Most fascinating to
me is Mark 3:11 that records: "Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before
Him and shout, "You are the Son of God!" The disciples declared in their peril on the sea, "What
manner of man is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him. (Matt 8:27)" Note that the word
"obey" is derived from the word obeisance which also means to bow and or prostrate oneself before.

Analysis Of The Enduring Chill By Flannery Oconnor
Flannery O´Connor is considered as one most influence Christian American writers of the XX
century and author of the revealing story "The Enduring Chill" as part of the book "Everything That
Rises Must Converge." According to Helen Ruth Andretta, English Department Professor Emerita of
York College, Flannery O´Connor is known overall for being a Roman Catholic writer, who in her
stories explores the complexity of morality and ethics through a Christian worldview. A faithful
example of this style is "The Enduring Chill," work written a year before of his death and developed
in a Farm in the time of Slavery on The United States (Andretta). This Southern Gothic style story
establishes its plot mainly in the spiritual and corporal affection of the twenty–five years old prideful
protagonist Asbury Fox, and the conflict with his sixty years old mother. The story positions Asbury
as the victim and villain of the story, that surrounded by pain looks for significant moment in his
miserable life. However, in an unexpected final on his "deathbed," he ends up achieving the
redemption by the grace of God through the Holy Ghost.
The story of the "The Enduring Chill" through the life of Asbury seems to describe the Biblical
worldview of fall and redemption, which Albert M. Wolters explains widely in the article "Fall" of
his book "Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview." Albert M. Wolters is

Relationships With God In Genesis And Persepolis
Relationships with God in Genesis and Persepolis
From the beginning of Genesis, Abraham always showed unwavering devotion to God and his word,
not even doubting him when he was told to kill his own son. Abraham never lost his faith in God,
and willingly followed his guidance in order to show his dedication to his religion. In Persepolis,
God also served as a huge support system and guide in Marji's life, and in her youth she remained
devoted to God and her religion. However, once Marji's life and her faith started being tested, she
did distance herself from God and decided to live her life without the overwhelming presence of her
God, but He was still always there for her. While Abraham did not lose faith as Marji did, God was
still there for both of them in their most trying times. For Abraham this was when he almost
sacrificed his son, and for Marji, this was when she tried to kill herself, only to be reborn in the
process with the help of her God (Satrapi 273).
Power of Temptation and Faith in Genesis and Greek Mythology
The power of temptation is always a recurring theme in the Bible from Adam and Eve to the New

trying to leave Sodom because God sent plagues upon the land to destroy the evil men within it and

Genesis : Creation And The Beginning Of Genesis
Genesis is the beginning of the beginning, the basis for the rest of the Bible, and the start of it all.
Genesis shows us creation, man's sinful downfall, man's rebellion, a chance for redemption, and
God's mercy. Genesis starts off with creation. God spoke into nothing and said, " Let there be light"
and there was light. God then created the sky, land, nature, animals, and humans. It was good until
sin entered the world and corrupted it. Adam and Eve sinned against God and here was the start of
man's sinful downfall. Adam and Eve had two sons Cain and Abel. Cain was jealous of God's favor
towards Abel's sacrifice, and so he killed Abel. Cain's ungodliness leads to a flood that was
supposed to destroy man kind except for one family. God chose Noah and faithful righteous man to
build an ark big enough for his family and a pair of every kind of animal to survive. God continues
his plan of salvation with Noah's family and decedents. Noah's son Ham lead to the start of another
sinful downfall. The time of the Tower of Babel came along, and a group of men wanted to build a
tower tall enough to reach the heavens. God was angry, so sent confusion to the men by giving them
different languages causing them to separate. God begins once again with a chosen man named
Abraham. God told him to be faithful, and that he would be blessed with many descendants.
Abraham wasn't patient with God and wanted to do things his own way. He went ahead and made a
child with his wife's maid

Exploring The Psychological Factors That Play Into The...
The purpose of my essay is to both explore and analyze the psychological factors that play into the
Meccan non–believers'/disbelievers' decision to reject and denounce prophet Mohammed's
revelations. That is, my focus is on the psyche aspects of paganism and monotheism–how did Islam
affect the Meccans, and why did they believe and think it was inadaptable to their way of life. I will
use key Suras as evidence to reconstruct the mentality of a seventh–century Meccan pagan to
answer those two questions. With that being said, I will list out and examine the major objections
the Meccans had toward the new religion to formulate the reasons behind their thoughts, concepts,
and ideals. Some of the major differences between Islam and paganism are: hereditary idol worship,
instructive doctrine, omniscient God, non–demonstrative or visible God, ancient/common heresies,
spiritual immortality, and consequential future. The first step in reconstructing a pagan's way–of–
thinking is to address the contemporary issues of his time, that is, Muhammad is in Mecca preaching
Islamic revelations to the tribes who did not accept the circulating monotheistic religions, and many
tribes are in constant warfare. And, this is a time where the community of believers is a minority in
the region; thus, the pagan tribes greatly outnumber them. Therefore, one of the most difficult things
to do as a member of a tribe is to give up your common ancestral beliefs that allies you with other
tribes during this

Pilgrimage Is A Journey, Right Of Passage And Sacred...
Pilgrimage is a journey, right of passage and sacred experience for many religions. The person
partaking in the pilgrimage embark as one person and come back another. For some it is the journey
that is the feat rather than the destination, however for most the destination of the pilgrimage is holy
or sacred and the destination is just the beginning of what the pilgrimage is about. Pilgrims come
from all over to see the holy site and will perform many tasks and actions to reach a state of
enlightenment. The Islamic faith practices the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, this is called the
Hajj. The Pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam. The four other pillars include
Shahadah, Salah, Zakat and Sawm. Shahadah means profession of faith, Muslims must recite the
creed "There is no God but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God." (Zahid) These words
show their devout acceptance and solidifies their commitment to the religion. The second pillar,
Salah, is all about prayer. The Islamic faith requires prayer daily and the number of times is based
on your affiliation with either the Shi'a or the Sunni. Almsgiving, or the giving of gifts or money, is
the third pillar and is called Zakat. Sawm is the fasting ritual muslims practice. This is done in the
month of Ramadan and is an expression of self restraint. The Qur'an states "O you who believe!
Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may learn self–
restraint." (Qur 'an

Analysis Of Night By Eliezer Wiesel
Image trying to escape a deep hole of misery, with no escape. Night, a book created by Eliezer
Wiesel, is a survival account put into the young Eliezer's view of things, with his father as another
main character. This memoir is an account of a survivor of the holocaust and the horrors he faced
while traveling through the concentration camps. The story keeps up a suspenseful tone until his
father died, leaving him dead inside and emotionless. Eliezer is a completely different man from the
