Discuss Genesis 22 Page 5

Genesis 22:20 "And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;" An ineresting part "after these things..." because it shows us something, that many of us feel often, as Christians in the world. How many times have we had great experience in God, and after to meet some who seemed only sent to "one up" us?

This chapter has important lessons for Christians. It presents a double test of faith and adherence to the command of God. Abraham demonstrated unshakable faith, a trait true Christians should hold dear. He also heeded the command of God not minding the sore consequence. As Christians,"Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." ( John 2:5). God Himself used this episode to herald the sacrifice of Jesus

"..... and I and the lad will go ....... and come again to you." This was just br'ot out in this a.m. Bible study. Abraham had FAITH in God, but did he realize what he said here? Or did God put those words in his mouth, un-knowing to Abraham? Abraham actually raised the knife. I just feel that Abraham didn't realize what he had said; and 'feelings' are not a good interpreter of His word.

The Lord will test our Faith and obedience to him. God gave his only son who died for our sins. We will be tested time after time yet we must remain Faithful!

Comment* If Atall Abraham Had Restrained Giving Up Isaac Having Been Afriend Of God And Asource Of The Earth's Blessings, God Could By no Means Give Jesus As Aramson.Forget Not That The Word Ramson,has Two Powerful Words; Ram and Son.So Jesus Was The Ram That Represented The Only Beloved Son Isaac Of The Everlasting Convenant.

A prophecy for Israel: Hosea's life dipicted Israel's life with Yah. Israel committed whoredoms by going after the Baalims, and Yah said Lo Ammi (not my people) and He scattered them, but He says even though He scattered them their number will be as the sand of the sea ( Genesis 22:). But He will gather them again and take away baalim from their mouth and they shall call Him Ishi (My Husband).

Genesis 35:29 Isaac died, lived to an old age.

The more I read the my Father show me his word the more to me to no his, and whom He truth in people that will obey He and truth Him that come to their faith in our Father.

Alwyn, Isaac returned home with Abraham and lived a long life. As he is written about in scripture. The "young men" were merely helpers or hired men working for Abraham.

Question What happened to Isaac just after Abraham offer the ram? Verse 19 , So Abraham returned unto his young men,.... KJV. What is meaning of this ?

I believe this chapter was a prophesy to be fulfilled under Jesus' dying in our place on the cross. God showed that just as Abraham was willing to obey to God to give up his son, God would give up his only son whom he loved, as a sacrifice for all mankind.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Yes, The word "God" is translated from the plural Elohim, which is used over 2,000 times in the OT to refer to the one true God of Israel and to his singular name Jehovah as it is described in Genesis 22:14. A Jew would never entertain the thought of multiple Gods (plural). God said, I am He, I created, I spoke... Not "We" in Him!

TO LILIANNE ON GEN. CH 22 - HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THE ABRAHAM/ISAAC STORY: AS ABRAHAM/ISAAC WERE GOING UP THEIR SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN - GOD WAS PACING RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM UP THE OTHER SIDE - TO MEET THEM!!! I HEARD THIS PREACHED ON IN CH. AND IT WAS SO MUCH MORE HEART TOUCHING THAN I COULD SAY IT. IT BR'OT TEARS TO MY EYES.

You know what, Lilianne? as Abraham and Isaac were walking up that mountain - God was walking up the other side to "provide the lamb." He was right there with them.

Verse 8: how much faith Abraham has upon God? He knew that God will provide the sacrifice! This verse teach us that if we trust God even in the last moments he can do something! God need us to have the faith like Abraham!

Abraham was always obedient it seemed no matter how hard he was faithful and trusted the Lord.

Yes, God already knew Abraham would obey. Still he would test his faith. In the Old Testament faith was often tested with visuals. In the New Testament we look back on these test to increase our faith. Isaac was the son of promise through Sarah, not Ishmael. Today if someone says God speaks directly to them outside of his written word it is a lie. No new revelation can be added. God's word is complete.

Great chapter

In 1. Samuel 15,22 we read: "Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams." That was a hard test for Abraham. Abraham knew God, he had fellowship with God and trusted him. I think God s promises to him concerning Isaac gave him confidence in obeying God. Christians in general need to have a more personal relationship with God. We need to know "Him" and the power of "HIS" might. Knowing him makes life pleasant and enjoyable. We will be tested, but not above that which we can bear.

Isaac was not the blessing it was when Abraham offered Isaac that he provoked the blessing.

thanks intrasting

It is a very powerful just to think of something that God has told you to do and thinking why out of being obedient to him he blessed me

U must do what God said that all to it! Nothing Add nothing taking away. Amen

Mike Moses, God is good therefore he has never requested or excepted human sacrifice. Also, Isaac was not qualified to atone for the sin of all mankind only Jesus Christ is. Even though Abraham was tested and passed a great test by God Jesus Christ is the only qualified lamb of God that take away the sin of the world or mankind John 1:29. The one and only Son of God John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believe in him shall not parish but have everlasting life. God bless us all and in the understanding of his word. Bless the Lord with all my soul and all that is within me, Glory be to God. Amen.

I think that we as Christian have a lot to be thankful for, because God, still cared enough about us that he told Abraham not to harm his son, and I really do think that he stopped him because, had he had gone through with it, then the sacrifice of Jesus would not have meant anything to human kind, because Abraham would have shown that he had made the first loving sacrifice of his son. God is Good.

That its clear that you can only be blessed if you meet Gods conditions in life.

God performed a great miracle on the third day when Jesus was risen. In the kingdom of God great things happen on the third day and the number three is very significant in the Bible.

For those who can 't comprehend what is going on in this chapter. Remember GOD is not a man, he can 't lie, so you must think spiritual and not humanly.

At sodoma episode abram was pleading for the love of another as is scriptural so deed Moises, but at his own son was his personal life who was at stake, so he gave it to the Lord because if his son isaac would have died abram 's life would be meaningless to him, so obedience is better than sacrifice, beside after calvary noone have to give any kind of flesh sacrifice, but prayer and fasting is our acceptable sacrifice!

I can see where you were going with this, and I struggled for a second. But look at it this way. You and your wife grow old, she well past menopause, that voice tells you that you will have a child, and BAM you have one. Next he tells you that he will destroy an entire city. Not a small city either, but a huge city unless he finds 10 righteous people there. That same voice demolishes the city. Rains fire and brimstone from the heavens, and turns a righteous person 's wife into a pillar of salt for disobeying. That 's like two Angels going to Vegas and find 4 righteous people. The rest want to rape them and the women. They get out of the city unscaved, and as soon as they do the city is demolished. All the while, this voice has done right by all and punished only the wicked. This is not just a voice in his head. This voice has shown action directly to him and all others that cared to take notice.
