Abraham was called out of his hometown, Ur of the Chaldeans & he followed God’s call & founded the nation of Israel giving us the Bible. Always follow God.
Which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name, to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
God’s covenants with the Patriarchs were established by Him with Abraham and directly affirmed by Him to Isaac and Jacob; they were also verbally affirmed by Isaac to Jacob.

Christian Messianic Analysis and Apologetics
Let’s follow the path of the Covenants laid down by God with the Patriarchs Abraham [Avraham], Isaac [Yitzkhak], and Jacob [Ya’akov]. These covenants are very explicit, and are established and affirmed by God [as recorded by Moses after the Exodus a half millennium later] as well as being verbally passed down…
Don’t be surprised, but many clergy possess keen senses of humor. Sure, there are staid, grimacing ministers who consider acting dour to be a virtue. (They’re often legalistic.) But most of the pastors and military chaplains I’ve worked beside, love to laugh. I think I’ve written enough about humor to verify that.
C.S. Lewis maintained strong bonds with a number of clergy, from a variety of…
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east. 4 His sons used to go and…
Time's Sequential Move (Yeshuah)
do you think I'm† here
praising you?
all of you?
I† am not
I† am praising those
who know truth

The ancients were on to something which we need to recover. They discerned the importance of allowing grief to run it’s course, instead of us trying to master grief, get over it, and move on.
The Death of Jacob, by Rembrandt, c.1640
Jacob told his sons:
Soon I will die, and I want you to bury me in Machpelah Cave. Abraham bought this cave as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, and it is near the town of Mamre in Canaan. Abraham and Sarah are buried there, and so are Isaac and Rebekah. I buried Leah there too. Both the cave and the land that goes with it were bought from the…
The Bible tells us Abraham left Ur of the Chaldeans & wandered in the wilderness, putting his faith in God & the Lord made him the Patriarch, the founder of the nation of Israel, the father of the faith.

Men and masculinity are not inherently bad or untrustworthy things and I don't mean that in a 'misandry is real and a problem' way, I mean that in a 'I think some of you might have contracted minor radfem poisoning' way
Funniest thing about the Old Testament is how it consistently disparages bronze-age hero type characters crafted by its historical peers and lifts up that saddest patheticest wet little meow meows youve ever seen
