Hebrew Lit Gods Relationship
What Does Hebrew Literature Say About God's Relationship with Man?Hebrew literature says that God is all loving, all-powerful, and all knowing. It also says that God will test His peoples' faith, like He did with Abraham and Isaac. Abraham had complete and utter trust in God, and Isaac had the same trust in Abraham. The question that I ask is, if God had let Abraham go ahead and slaughter Isaac, would God have been betraying Abraham, and would Abraham have been betraying Isaac? I think that the answer to this question is no, because God still would have kept his promise that Abraham's descendants would number among the stars, just not through Isaac. Also, Isaac, in his death, would have been united with God.
Hebrew literature also tells us that God is all-powerful. He has the power to do anything at any given time. He can make it rain, or snow, or give us the sunshine of a beautiful summer day. In an amount of years ago that we, as humans, cannot even fathom, God created everything, the skies, the earth, the water, the stars, all of the animals, the human race and everything else, out of nothing. And He did this in just seven days. Hebrew literature basically explains to us how God expects us to live. Because of the fact that He is all loving, he will forgive us if we mess up. Because he is omnipotent, He will choose the consequences of our decisions, although we make our decisions. And, because He is all knowing, He knows what choice
