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

deity puts trials upon everyone, and in Genesis twenty-two he sets Abraham out on his let journey, to sacrifice his receive son, Isaac. After all the struggle Abraham and Sarah had to conceive the child, deity decides that the boy should be sacrificed to him. And without an regular(a) a moment of procrastination or a murmur of woe (Gen 223) the man sets off to do Gods bidding. What sort of God would ask a firm man such as Abraham to do this appalling deed? I believe firmly, that God did not do this so that Abraham would be take of the wonders of his offspring, or to take away a human burnt offering for his own good, but to gain our trust and show how trustworthy he is. And overly to show that if we just listen to what he has to say that we too, will have everything provided for us when urgent times come.He trusted in crack and Eve, whose adversity started when they turned their ears away from Him and ate the forbidden fruit (Gen 36). Or in the story of Cain and Abel, Cain cho oses not to listen to God and connected homicide against his brother Abel (Gen 48) and is then sent out to Nod. Yet again, another(prenominal) misfortune happened when Lots wife ignored the commands of the Lord and looked stern at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, only to be turned into a column 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 thin only continues throughout the bible.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 mail service God had shown him, and, builds the altar then ties his son up and getting him sterilise for the sacrificing (Gen 229). 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 h as to hide himself for going against the Lords will preliminary in chapter three of Genesis. And unlike in chapter three, instead of getting reprimanded and punished, Abraham is buoyant by the Lord (Gen 22 16-19), for he did what he was told even though it was a great loss in his family.
