Decent Essays
What in the name of Abraham are you doing I yelled as I walked outside to see Alex Feller putting a piece of corn in my driveway “We have brought you the sacred corn of the Imperial Corn God as a blessing my lord! Alex yelled back I walked over to Alex and thanked him for the sacred corn. A few weeks later Alex told me Abraham sent me a quest. After school I was sitting at my computer watching a video when my brother yells for me telling me that Alex was there. When I opened the door he handed me a folded piece of paper and told me it was the quest. After he left I started to unfold the paper inside the first fold it said corn I finished unfolding it and it said that Abraham’s quest was for me to retrieve the arkenstone from the Lonely Mountain

When an American citizen decides to join an enemy line, such as ISIS, they are not following the governing authority placed over them, and are, therefore, urging on a war that is unjustifiable (Land). Though the biblical example of Isaac and Ishmael is not a war itself, the outcome of Abraham taking a situation into his own hands has led to numerous wars and terrorism that will endure until the Second Coming of Christ (“What Does the Bible Say about War?”). During the Vietnam War, the soldiers who thought that the war was unjust – though they may have been correct – and hopped the border to Canada in order…

The Pharaoh does not invite Abram to Egypt. Rather, he goes there, at the command of the Lord, looking to exploit resources because there are none in his country. The second phase materializes in this narrative as Abram and Sarai take Hagar and the other slaves out of Egypt to the land of Canaan.…
