    And by the way and my first comment;
    Abraham/ Ibrahim’s story with God started in Orr where he was born and lived UNTIL he went against an entire Idol worshiping society and started preaching against what they were worshiping. He even went against his family due to the same reason. Abraham was tossed in a great fire as a punishment for he destroyed some of the idols. By God’s grace he was saved from that fire. That when him and his nephew Lot decided to flee Orr. Abraham was around 16 years old. Being saved from the great fire was the first encounter Between God and Abraham. And no , Abraham was not an ordinary young man at the time. He was “chosen” by God. And unlike what some might believe, God doesn’t chose “ordinary” people.

    This guy is amazing. I wish I could listen to all his lectures at once to save time! One point I disagree though is that Abraham could have been just anyone. I believe God chose him because he was one of very few that actually believed there was only one God who created the earth and we needed to submit to that God. Most believed in many gods or idols or made themselves god as we are doing today. Apart from that he was a regular bloke.

      It's not him. He's just a vessel. Just a glimpse of the awe and holiness of God. He's a teacher I do appreciate but we aren't called to be in awe of him. Be a noble Berean and check everything he teaches against scripture. I won't lie that's hard. It seems so easy just to trust him but God says trust in the Lord with all of your heart...Dr. Smith is running his race following Christ...follow Christ. Let's all keep running towards Christ.

    Abraham/ Ibrahim reached that level in the eyes of God for what he “surrendered” to /for God;
    1- gave up his family as a teen and insisted on preaching against idol worshiping
    2-was about to sacrifice his only son at the time.
    3-built alters for God including “Ka’aba” , the holiest structure in Islam.

    And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We* chose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous. Behold! his Lord said to him:" Bow ( thy will to Me):" He said:" I bow ( my will) to the Lord and the Cherisher of the Universe." And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob;'" O my sons! God hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."

    Ibrahim was “ dis content with where God has put him” is your own fabrication “!! Ibrahim has gotten the status of mighty prophet didn’t come from nothing and that he is as an “ordinary guy” is also your fabrication. Ibrahim went against what was being practiced on his hometown of Orr. He preached against idol worshiping since he was 15 years old. So he was “discontent “ with what his people, including his family, were worshiping. He was driven out of Orr. In Hiram he continues preaching to people who worshiped starts. He was driven out of there too.

    I understand your point that Abraham was going out to deceive The Pharoah, and you say that this is not what God wants Abraham to do. But why did God punish The Pharoah if The Pharoah was just a victim of Abraham's trickery? If Abraham was in the wrong, why did God continue to punish The Pharoah?

      Peter Serrano, agree but then this is common in biblical legends. God often becomes complicit in the evil. But then this instructor would never see this because of his bias from the start. He is not an educator by any standard, but a propagandist. He means well but this is not acceptable. This could be an exciting Bible Study for a local church group or whatever, but nothing more than that. Nothing.

    • @erics7992
      @erics7992 Před 5 lety

      Abraham wasn't lying. The word in Hebrew translated as sister in English Bibles can also be understood as 'kinswoman' which seems to be what she was. The same word is used later in the story of Isaac and Rebecca and Abimelech and we know from the events of Genesis 24 that Rebecca clearly was Isaac's kinswoman, his cousin, so Isaac wasn't lying. We can assume then that Sarah was probably likewise a cousin. It should be remembered that the admonition not to lie does not mean that you always have to tell every word of the truth on every single occasion. It is perfectly permissible to be silent.

    • @GodsOath_com
      @GodsOath_com Před 4 lety +2

      Peter Serrano Pharaoh is a type of Satan who worked to destroy those serving Jehovah. When Gods message is rejected, the spiritual laws (found in Romans) go to work to harden the hearts of the rejector. Pharaoh always had a choice to accept the message and save his nation from the judgment, which was complete destruction, but he chose not to let them go and to increase their suffering. There is an ultimate penalty of death when God is rejected. Today we know that Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus Christ. He is the only blood sacrifice provided. The devil works hard to get you to believe failures of teachers to explain are a reason for you to reject Christ.

    Sorry to say you miss something great about Abram. You sound as Abram was favoured or nepotism as such. Abram lived in a context. His choices to understand God, to know God triggered God to reveal himself to him. Remember, his people were idolators and God chose him, separated him because of his hearts choices which were right in God's sight .

      Yes right in the Abrahamic covenant there is the promise that "in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." It's not quite clear yet if you're reading through the first time, but you have this sense that there will be the "snake crusher" from the Protoevangelium that is coming to set things right after the Fall and this would seem to indicate (through the covenant and the involvement of God) that this promised Messiah will come through Abraham somehow.

      7th AngelAD Because God had already said the younger son would inherit. Because the Law had not yet been given. Because it’s not wrong to take what is already yours. Because Esau was a pot of flesh, living in the flesh, never to become a son of God. And because Rebecca said let this thing be upon me. Rebecca took any wrong doing on herself so Jacob was not judged. This was the age of innocence, the time when God winked at sin. But because men like to judge, they continue to teach only that Jacob was a liar. See?

    Abraham means " Brother to all" in Kurdish. A-ḇrā-hā-m: Bra= brother, ham= everyone. Abraham was born in Harran a Kurdish city in northern mesopotamia ( Now South east Turkey-populated by kurds). Harran in kurdish means “you all go". Abraham original religion was Zoroastrians. He was a revolutionist and started his own religion, trying to reform the old religion of his people ( Kurds). Because of this he was banished by his own people ( Kurds) in Harran and was forced to move to Canaan with Sarah where he was able to establish his reformed religion. The word, He-brew, meaning Oh-brother, in kurdish. He "oh" Brew ( brother) is clearly the derivative of Prophet Abraham name. The name could actually be a title because he was the religious leader of his people. Prophet Abraham did not have any written document for his religion. The religion was maintained by his family orally from generation to generation until Prophet Moses wrote his Ten Commandments. That is why genetic testing of Jewish poeple of Isreali origin are close only to the Kurds.
    Yahuda comes from kurdish words " Ya- xwedê = Oh-God.
    Terah or Te-rah: Your path. “Te= your, Rah=path
    Torah or To-rah: “your guide” To= you, Rah= guide.
    Nahor or Na-hor: there are no clouds. Na= none, Hor= clouds.
    Tanakh or Ta-na-kh meaning “do not do”; Ta’nax or Ta-Nax meaning “come from bottom of my heart”.
