You don’t think Abraham’s answering the call of Jehovah is an example fundamental to the Judeo-Christian belief?
He left the comforts of Ur’s civilization, moved his family to an unknown land, was tested and tried and remained faithful through it all. He is held up as an example of faithfulness and righteousness repeatedly, particularly in Romans and Hebrews 11.
There’s nothing to be gained by trying to pit Abraham against Moses. Both were admirable servants.
And it was Sarah who chased Hagar away into the desert.
Whoops! Missed JEHOVAH! Hey where’s the Hebrew from the former Lutherans? Luther LOVED Jews. MUST scream any imaginable names of the Godhead on internet forums for optimum holiness! Thanks -
i am not pitting Abraham against Moses, I am calling Moses inheritor of Abraham and both inheritors of the justice and spirit of Christ. For when a son honors father, a father honors son. Thus, arguably, Abraham is inheritor of Moses too, because, imbo, Moses and the wonders of God then honored Abraham and he would have honored them.
When Kasich implies that somehow this honor works for muslims is ridiculous ... and that somehow Moses is a lower prophet. As a matter of fact muslims do not believe that either. They believe the Caliph is a higher prophet than Mohammed, and that the Dedjel is even the progenitor of Allah himself.
