Abraham Woodhull

Abraham Woodhull, a farmer in Setauket, played a highly important role in the group. Whenever information was dropped off at the designated dead drop, Woodhull would retrieve it and decide what information was to be sent off to General Washington (“American”). Since it was incredibly dangerous to successfully send information under the radar, Woodhull had to be absolutely sure that the information to be sent was of extreme importance. Woodhull, then, would drop the intelligence off at another dead drop and let Anna Strong, the person in charge of signaling to the transporter, know. Anna Strong was one of the few women leading the double life of a spy during this time. Strong was an upper class woman and lived and took care of her farm along…

I guess something that I am confused on is why they have to jump through so many hoops. Such as needing permission to go, having to pay x-amount of dollars to go, and having to go for all their sins to be forgiven. I don’t understand why they aren’t allowed to groom themselves, have sex or argue. That seems...odd to me. When I am in a strange place that’s really warm I know that I am extremely irritable – so I don’t understand why arguing is a no-no and why they aren’t allowed to groom…

To begin, the Quran is the sacred scripture and foundation of Islam written by God through the prophet Muhammad. In this book the faith is defined, and rules and examples are given to help its followers live the faith of Abraham in the light of the Lord and away from sin and darkness. One of the things it talks about is the holy city of Mecca and the importance to pay homage to it in 3:95-97: ‘God speaks the truth, so follow Abraham’s religion: he had true faith and he was never an idolater.’…

elevated to one of great biblical importance to that person and that city involved. God calls plenty of people in the Bible, but I’ve only found eight times he calls out to individuals by name twice in a row … Abraham! Abraham!

Abraham!” Abraham has passed the test, proving that he fears God. The Lord provides a ram…

Why I would convert to Islam Before I begin my paper, I would like to confess that my idea of Islam was based on stereotypes portrayed by the American media. I was fortunate enough to have gone to school and build friendships with Muslim Brothers from Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Through my relationships with them, I learned that they were not much different than myself. However, I was unable to take the time to talk to them about their religion. I also struggled to understand their…

But, there was also foretold that through the tribe of Judah that God would return to once again walk with man much in the same way that God walked with Adam and with Abraham, and that a “lamb” would be provided and that this lamb would be supplied by God and that upon the death of this lamb the misdeeds of mankind could be atoned for, provided the Covenant upon which this lamb was proper invoked. Various Jewish prophets foretold the arrival of Messiah, in the years prior to the Babylonian…

to bless them with a child. I found this to be interesting because I am due any day now. Nevertheless, these stories are composed of several unusual factors faith and trusting in the Lord to guide them. For example, Abraham was married to Sarah, and they each had to have faith that God would grant them their wish to have a child. God addressed Abraham first by stating that he would have a lot of children. He believed and continued his walk in faith. Then Sarah would follow by trusting in God,…
