Thanks for posting this.
I was thinking about this last night.
Bill, although this is apparently a legend, I cannot find any Bible verses that support the fact that Abraham was an idolater. A sinner, for sure, but an idolater? I don't think so. Convince me. Give me the biblical support.
Thanks
YHvH did not breath the breath of Elohim I don't want to put too fine a point on this but
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
at the time of Genesis 15:6 Abraham's NAME
was Abram not Abraham !
(Holy Spirit) into him until Genesis 17:5. Gen 17:5 "No longer shall your name be called Abram,
Unless you consider Eliezer of Damascus
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
as a type of the Holy Spirit.
All I have to say about grace and works is....
We work from grace and not for grace. Grace is a free gift from God.
If not, how hard do you have to work to get the grace and can you do enough?
