On the divinity of the god of abraham Christanon 01/12/20 (Sun) 07:38:00 f4e237 No.826217

Soon to be brothers(hopefully),i do not want to commit heresy on the sacred altar so i come to you in need of desperate help.I do not know how to believe in the god of abraham,issac and jacob.I believe there is god but i don't know how man can be completely sure that god is the god of abraham.I have picked up the holy bible and have grown a certain love for christianity but i do not how i can become a warrior of christ if i cannot even be sure that the god of abraham is the one true eternal and good god.Hopefully,i have not angered any of you and hopefully god will help me on this question.

Classical Metaphysics tells us there is only one God therefore the God of the Bible must be it, no?

>For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

Sorry if i wasn't clear.I am not saying that there is more then one god or something of the sort.I am simply asking how can i be sure that the eternal,great,good,perfect god of philosophy is without a doubt the god that has built a covenant with abraham and who gave made his son to be born of flesh and soul because of us.

The Wisdom and Power of the Deity are in equilibrium. The laws of nature and the moral laws are not the mere despotic mandates of His Omnipotent will; for, then they might be changed by Him, and order become disorder, and good and right become evil and wrong; honesty and loyalty, vices; and fraud,ingratitude, and vice, virtues. Omnipotent power, infinite, and existing alone, would necessarily not become strained to consistency. Its decrees and laws could not be immutable. The laws of God are not obligatory on us because they are the enactments of His POWER, or the expression of His WILL; but because they express His infinite WISDOM. They are not right because they are His laws, but His laws because they are right. From the equilibrium of infinite wisdom and infinite force, results perfect harmony, in physics and in the moral universe.

Abraham's God is not the One because the Book says He is, He is because the Book displays His Wisdom.

This is why we can accept that He's the One.

I wonder the same thing, based on having read Genesis recently. The book tells this story:

>God's people go to a city

>They take the natives' wealth

>Locals get mad

>They leave

and this happens through several generations. Sure the book is coy about how they acquire wealth, saying God "blessed" them, but it gradually becomes less coy, and by Exodus 3:22 the Abrahamic strategy is described explicitly.

I really like the answer by >>826224, but it would suggest, based on Genesis, that what God considers wise is nepotism. That's not to say God is not good. Caring for people genetically close to you is objectively good, imo.

To answer your question based on the wisdom concept, I think it's wise to be able to consider all possibilities. That means not committing to beliefs that preclude you from simultaneously holding other beliefs. That is to say that what choice is wise depends on context, and will change over time. So committing to any one interpretation of God is not Godly. Godliness is adaptability and intelligence. God is the force that drives human evolution, and God's people are those bloodlines which survive toward the future horizon of humanity.
