Three Cuts H Cutting family ties (Gen 12:2f) –Why is it that when God calls there is often a “leaving” involved? –Did only the Jews know God? Melchizedek king of Salem (Gen 14:17ff) H Cuts the animal (Gen 15:10, 17) Why? –Union symbolized: as animal was one now we are one –Acting out the curse: Jer 34:18f -- solemnizing/ratifying the covenant

Three Cuts H Cut flesh (Gen 17) –On circumcision –Unconditional covenant (berith)—ratifying the covenant –Abrahamic Covenant: ‡ land, --promised land (Canaan; Palestine) ‡ Seed (stars, sand, dust), ‡ Blessing—all nations  Jesus

3 Problems: H Camels and critics: Gen. 12:16 H Hittites/Philistines and critics Gen. 15:20 H Gen. 14:14 talks of “Dan” can’t be Dan—anachronism (Josh. 19:47; Judg. 18:29)

H Eliezer of Damascus: adopted son (Gen 15:2) H Hagar-Surrogate Wife, Gen. 16 –Code of Hammurabi –Caution on Criticizing patriarchs— telling/teaching distinction –How badly does God get on Abraham’s case H Isaac: son of the promise -- laughter

4 Abraham Questions

Well ah...she’s my sister? H Why do they always want to marry his sister? H Custom: adopting sister -- protection -- marry her off

Does God really interact with man? H Gen 18:26ff: Bartering with God H Is this real? Does foreknowledge really solve the problem? H Is this just anthropomorphic or anthropopathic speaking—so we can understand? H Can a human have impact on God?

Are all sins the same? Gen 18:21 H Hospitality issue at Sodom.. the real issue? –On recontextualizing the messages of Scripture H Is this homosexual rape? Lot’s daughters H Are homosexual acts sin? Lev. 18:22; Rom 1:26f; 1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 1:10 H How should Christians react to homosexuals? H -loving the sinner, hating the sin

How does God’s role toward Abraham change in Gen 22? H Struggle for a son—Akedah (binding) H Rapid fire... why no emotions shown? on good literature: God blesser  tester H Painful obedience H Levels of faith –Easy Faith –Resignation faith –Unreasonable pure faith—the precious –God’s friend
