Abraham Maslow

Malcolm was really influenced by his father and mother in different ways. He starts by talking about how his father treated his siblings differently. His father used to beat his siblings. However, he says that his father favored him. This is because he thinks that him having lighter skin make his father feel that way. Also, his father used to beat his mom because of her background and her higher level of education. This caused conflicts between them both. Malcolm learns the importance of…

The Old Testament stories, no doubt have an outcome in our modern lives. In the Old Testament ‘forgiveness’ is shown a lot as it is a big thing in life, and that you should forgive anyone. Also ‘trust’ and ‘love’ are shown, as you should trust and love anyone. The Old Testament has everything in it which is relevant to our modern day that can help us. Forgiveness is shown throughout the Old Testament, in the story when Joseph is betrayed by his own brothers and was sold into slavery. After many…

Abraham Abraham is considered to be one of the first Biblical Patriarchs that began the rise of Christianity. He is also considered an important figure in Judaism- often referred to as the Father of the Jewish people- and the Islamic Faith- often called Father of the Arabs. As the classic children’s song goes, “Father Abraham, had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham, I am one of them, and so you,”it refers back to when God promised that he would make Abraham into a great nation and he…

The story of Abraham (Genesis 12-25), the father of faith, starts the ever-last redemption plan of God for humanity. Abraham, son of Terah, was born in Ur, Mesopotamia, Near East in 1812 B.C.E. which is one of the first civilization registered in human story. As Raphael Patai, Hungarian-Jewish ethnographer states in his article "Abraham." Tetah then moved to Canaan in the migrations due the barbaric invasion and domination. Migrations caused a weakening of culture on Mesopotamian tribes…

Patriarch's, spelled Yitshaq in ancient Hebrew, as the only son of Abraham and Sarah and according to the Old Testament becomes the first newborn boy to be circumcised at just eight days old. In order to test Abraham's faith, God requests that Abraham builds an altar for the purpose of sacrificing his young son Isaac. As requested, Abraham constructs the altar, ties his son to the altar, prepares to sacrifice Isaac when an angel tells Abraham to release his son and instead sacrifice a male goat.…

or threat. In this paper, I will argue that deception is valorized in the Hebrew Scripture because it is used as a tool to test patriarchs. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss the several pieces of evidence that support this statement. Abraham, for instance, by using deception to pass Egypt safely proves his loyalty to the Lord and the ability of…

his decedents, which eventually lead to Terah (Gen 11:10-27) who became the father of the next man God would make his next covenant to Abraham. The covenant with Abraham (Gen 12-17) was the establishment of the nation of Israel in which God promised Abraham that if he left his homeland of Ur God would make his name great. God would also bring about a nation for Abraham that would be blessed. They would have numerous offspring and his future descendant would be a king. It is under this covenant…

might ask themselves “Why would God command Abraham to do such a horrible thing?” Especially after He had kept to his word and blessed Sarah with this miracle pregnancy, just a chapter before? I believe the answer is embedded in the notion that God didn’t command Abraham to do this in a negative sense, it was merely a test of faith. It clearly states at the very beginning of Genesis chapter 22, “God, tested Abraham.” God was trying to see if Abraham could ‘give up’ himself so to speak, and…

God appears in a vision to Abram as a sign of how powerful and omnipresent he is. God appearing through a vision shows he is always there and has the power to be heard and make covenants no matter the form he shows up in. The first words God spoke was, “Do not be afraid” (1). God proclaims these words because in Genesis Three, Adam tells God he hid in the garden because he was afraid. God wants Abram to know that there is no reason to fear him since Abram has obeyed him. After God proclaims to…

second most significant and important theme in this book. The triple promise is that God will give a land to his people, Abraham would be the seed of Israel’s descendants, and God promise to bless Abraham and his descendants. The rest of Scripture focuses on the fulfillment of these promises. Definitely, Genesis emphasizes that the Lord does not act arbitrarily in choosing Abraham, but his election is part of a plan of salvation that extends to the entire world. The ultimate object of this plan…
