1 | Need feedback on Genesis? | James 2:21 | thequickenenedone | 210565 | ||
I've finished reading the book of Genesis and so far this is what I've learned....God chose Abraham to the beginning line of His people. Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the 12 sons (the 12 tribes of Israel/Jacob). People knowing and seeing this family "growing and multiplying" as God's people, gained them (the Israelites) a certain amount of resentment and bitterness for being the chose people of God. (One example is Jacob's own brother, Esau marrying 2 Cannanite women; the Cannaanite's were pagans.) My question is, does this sound right? Feedback would be great, thanks. If there's anyone else who's well "versed" on their Bible studies that could comment to what I've written, that'd be great. |

Welcome, thequickenenedone' Abraham (formerly known as Abram) is the father of everyone in every nation that by faith enters into covenant with God. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Heb 11:8) By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son (Heb 11:17) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. (James 2:23) Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. (1Pet 3:6) Your question, about marrying those outside one's religion? Yes. Solomon did it, after being warned from God not to. The most wise king fell to human-kind's fleshly lust. Remember, just because something is mentioned in the Bible does not mean that the Bible is condoning the action. It is only reporting that it DID happen, as in a historical narrative. The big question to ask is, "Why is this story placed here for us to read", or, "What is it that God is trying to tell me through the orchestration of this scenario?" Thank you for your question, thequickenenedone. I hope this helps your study, -any others? keliy |
