Understanding who Jesus is Mathew, Mark, Luke &/or John

Hope that's helpful

where do i go from here

Abraham as far as i am concerned, is an epitome of contentment, humility,peace and a man of exemplary lifestyle characterized by a great measure of unselfishness. He would do and give anything up even his life, for the peace of those he loves and are under his care.

It doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible.

Where in the bible does it say that Ham's descendants were black?

Beautiful

Abel-The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life Romans 6:23. All of the incidents you have mentioned are consequences of the actions of those you mentioned. Why did God send a flood to destroy the whole earth? Genesis 6:5-7, why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? Genesis 13:13 The men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord. If you look up the story of each incident you will find that the people were not obedient to God therefore the Lord had them destroyed as to not continue spreading sin, this is no different today, the earth will be destroyed at the second coming because we humans are not obeying Gods law.

Give verses tha are like deuteronomy 28-20

"Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD."
Did he burn more animals on this altar? Why don't these people just pray to God?

May God bless you two. When you come to the new testament I hope you write Jesus words with a red pen. good luck to you two.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!! I have to write the WHOLE ENTIRE BIBLE for school!!!!!!!!!!!!! : : :

reminds me also that Paul counted all as loss in Phil 3:8. Lot believed he had the best pick but God was going to bless Abraham either way, His exceeding great reward was Jehovah God.

Here in 13 this shows how blessings is ours if we only be obedient and follow GODS direction. Sometime certain situations calls for extreme measures. also lets us know that family will hold you from blessing that are yours if you allow them. It tells us also keep the faith and keep going on knowing that God is on our side.

Awsome i hade to do this for my school work

Verse 2~ Jehovah God took good care of Abraham because he put faith in him and obeyed him.

The secret to Abram success was that he could built an altar wherever he settled and call on the name of the lord as described in verse 4 and18. This made all his to be directed by the lord and this is cordinated with jeremiah 33:3 " call unto me and i will answer you..........."

Verse 9~Even though Abraham was older than Lot he let him have the first pick. Abraham was truly a humble man.

To be effective in serving God,we should discard all forms of self and wholly follow God by constantly seek His will in every thing we do.Abraham has no other person or power other than God.He so much made God his defense city ,strength. We need to be content with God,trust him and accept his plans for us

V. 4 doesn't mention Lot 'calling on God' at Abrams altar. I think he probably should have.

V. 4 - " ..... and there Abraham called on the Name of the Lord." Abraham reiterated his first oath to God and not actually KNOWING his oath, I can well imagine it entailed Micah 6:8. He reaffirmed his standing with God. Everyday we need to do this, as we wake up, before starting in on OUR business.

I thought it was interesting to read how God told Abraham: "For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." He told him this AFTER being separated from Lot. It reminds me of things God wants to do in our lives but can only do after being separated from people, places

In whatever we doing or seeing we need to Acknowledge God and also Embraze Peace for God is Peace

I saw a comment on the 2nd page for this ch. about Pharoah giving the land of Goshen to - Sarah. The Bible, nowhere, says that. I guess the Bible is too dull for some people; they have to make up stories to make it more palatable.

Hi BSP; I found a very interesting scripture touching the people of Sodom; Ezekiel 16:49-50. Now with regard to Lot seeming so naive, and willing rather to overlook the ungodly spirit pervading the place; and because of strifes and difficulties, being willing to leave his father's brother alone with his faith, and the life of a nomad; just as the Lord described the good seed sown among the thorns.

The men were described as wicked and sinner in the land of Sodom. God viewed their acts and their life as sinful and being wicked.

Abraham was a man of peace. Although he was older than Lot and that was his nephew, he let Lot have the first pick of the land.

I am impressed by how Abram never fail to acknowledge God for everything that comes his way. He stops to build an alter there to thank and worship God. Great lesson for us.

Verse 13 this is after Abraham made covernent with his God

Abram was a humble and God fearing person. His focus was on God who called him. He didn't look at the plain of Jordan, nor did he first choose, he gave Lot the choice to choose. Lot thought he made a good choice, but he ended up being among wicked men. Like Abram, our focus should be on God and not on those things that we see. God should be our only Shepherd.

We must always allow God to make decisions for us in life.
