What Kind of God is He? :: Religion, Genesis, Trials

paragon puts trials upon everyone, and in contemporaries twenty-two he sets Abraham out on his testify journey, to sacrifice his own son, Isaac. After all the struggle Abraham and Sarah had to conceive the child, God decides that the boy should be sacrificed to him. And without an even a moment of procrastination or a babble of woe (Gen 223) the man sets off to do Gods bidding. What sort of God would ask a loyal man much(prenominal) as Abraham to do this appalling deed? I believe firmly, that God did not do this so that Abraham would be deprived of the wonders of his offspring, or to crap a human burnt offering for his own good, but to solve our trust and show how trustworthy he is. And also to show that if we conscionable listen to what he has to say that we too, will have everything provided for us when pressing times come.He trusted in Adam and Eve, whose adversity started when they dour their ears away from Him and ate the forbidden fruit (Gen 36). Or in the story of Ca in and Abel, Cain chooses not to listen to God and committed homicide against his brother Abel (Gen 48) and is then sent out to Nod. Yet again, another misfortune happened when bunchs wife ignored the commands of the manufacturing business and looked back at the demise of Sodom and Gomorrah, only to be turned into a pillar of salt (Gen 1926). All these stories show how much God trusts in humanity but we either do not listen to his wishes or trust in Him, and because of this disobedience there are severe penalties. And this trend only continues passim the bible.Abraham, on the other hand, conceded to his rules and does as he is told without even the slightest hesitation. He do 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 229). barely 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 contras ted Adam whom has to hide himself for going against the Lords will earlier in chapter triad 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 vast loss in his family.
