Hey, it is your old friend Jacky, just wanted to know how you are doing. I also heard that you have some questions about what the bible has to say and think about the topic of homosexuality.

There are also some sources that are useful to look at for answers such as two films named “Preserving Marriage in Minnesota”…

When observing the Hebrew Scriptures, one major theme prevalent in the Book of Genesis is deception. Throughout Genesis, many of the Lord’s prophets or “chosen people,” lie, trick, and deceive people into getting what they want.

Assignment # 3 There is a very close similarity to this story to this story as of the story in the Holy Bible about Abraham asking God for a child. Presently let’s get to the story at hand. That is in the Qur’an sura 37 verses 100 – 111. Farther on Abraham did ask God for a child, and God had blessed him with a child.

Jobs, Eliphaz states that those who obey the laws of God are rewarded greatly, and those who disobey God are punished. This is portrayed to be truth when Abraham is told by God to sacrifice his only son. Abraham so willingly did not question God’s intentions and did as he said. Right after Abraham was stopped by one of the angels God says to Abraham, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from…
