Talk:Abraham

Historicity of lede in Jacob article now corresponds to Abraham article

Edited the lede of the Jacob article to precisely correspond to the consensus of the Abraham page with the word Abraham changed to Jacob. If anything changes in the consensus here, feel free to edit there as well.

“Most scholars view the patriarchal age, along with the Exodus and the period of the biblical judges, as a late literary construct that does not relate to any particular historical era and after a century of exhaustive archaeological investigation, no evidence has been found for a historical Jacob.” IncandescentBliss (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

You know I once wrote without even thinking, How dare you in the House of Jacob.

I don’t know where it came from other than all firstborn Sons in Africa are called Yankuba (Jacob) and are offered not literally but Spiritually to the Lord God.

Now this sounds very familiar to Abraham to show his faith he offered his Son to the Lord as a way of peace offering for his lack of whatever caused him to feel he had displeased the Lord God.

However proving his total Faith his Son was spared.

Just discussion material like I once said I saw Edrin in a very old piece of Scripture that was in Salem in America and was told not to be absurd no name exists, however I have found Edrai as a place in The Lords time. 92.40.218.0 (talk) 16:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Abram place of Birth,

I was under the impression that is was Ur, the Chedleans. Which he asked for his remains to be taken back there after his death. As he was quite un enthusiastic about leaving. God promises Sarai a Son Whose name is Isac and in his later stages would have many and be a Father to many children and known throughout many Lands. I am however only re literate to what I have read from a well documented group of Scholars. It is not concrete evidence unless it’s written in the Bible of Moses, which is where it came from. 92.40.218.0 (talk) 16:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Ten Trials of Abraham

I think it would be pretty interesting addition to the article to write out the 10 trials of Abraham as described in the Hebrew Bible, where would that fit into the article? Nycarchitecture212 (talk) 03:49, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Spelling

The Baháʼí faith section begins with 'Baháʼís consiered', please add the 'd' to 'considered'. I can't edit the article 136.169.55.159 (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
