Being a fake witness, and creating your own story to enjoy a person's pain and suffering.

The verse by verse description of both heroes and heroines of our faith fills the reader with both encouragement and admonishment. I like others I’m sure who have read these texts find it inspiring that those who believe in God and keep the faith overcome great adversity often times throughout some crazy challenges. Of course ancient people like Noah, Abraham and Moses are mentioned in this chapter. The obvious and miraculous encounters with God are legend.…

    God's Resistance In Exodus

    The interactions between the main groups of characters in Exodus establish a relationship between God’s authority and the people’s resistance. At first glance it may appear that there are two cases of resistance. First, Pharaoh resists God directly, and second, the Israelites resist the Egyptians who enslave them. However, upon further inspection it is apparent that neither is truly resistance. In the final cases of Pharaoh not obeying God’s commands, God hardens his heart, essentially creating “resistance” by taking away Pharaoh’s agency.…

    Overall, after reading the book I think it does an okay job of presenting an argument to the “Old Testament Angry God” question or theory. It is very difficult to understand and interpret all of the information that is in the old testament in the short book. There needs to be a longer book to answer all of the questions. I am in agreement with Dr. Lamb’s position and the points that he states. To be honest, I think some of his arguments might be weak and need to be expanded upon.…

    Historically, Sukkot commemorates the forty year period when the people of Israel lived in the desert after exodus from Egypt.

These festivals were set aside in biblical times for people to travel (or make pilgrimage) to the ancient Temple in Jerusalem and to offer a personal sacrifice for thanksgiving. It is no longer obligatory for the Jewish to make this pilgrimage or sacrifice, and as such, not many Jewish individuals keep this aspect of the festival tradition.…
