Who’s Your Daddy?

Can you believe all of this turmoil in the world right now? When is comes down to it we are all brothers and sisters are we not? Do we not all come from the same father and mother (spiritual speaking)? The fact of the matter is the biggest religious conflicts in the past centuries seem to be from three main religions that I would like to mention here…Judaism, Christianity and Islam. When you look at the bare roots of these religions they all pray to the same God, and come from the same father. This father I am talking about is of course the famous Abraham himself. I suppose we can just look at these religions and think ‘oh, it’s just like a couple rival siblings duking it out,’ but then there are major wars and countless deaths, unfortunately we must need take a closer look.

Abraham is basically the second most important person in all three religions, the first being Moses to Jews, Jesus to Christians, and Mohammed to Moslems. Yet of all the information we have of Abraham where are his writings? According to all these religions, prophets receive the word from on high and are then commanded to write, so we the populous can have the words of God. This is the method that God reveals his word and yet Abraham one of the most important historical figures does not have any writings…or does he? I have found the prophetic words written by Abraham that were translated in the mid 1800’s. They are profound and give huge incite to the big question of this legendary man. Now who’s your daddy?

Here is the online version of the Book of Abraham.

Here is the complete explanation of the Book of Abraham.

Howdo McKay. Great post in view of today's SS lesson. I was moved to read up more on Ishmael and was struck by the promises made to him, as well as this article Ishmael, Our Brother. Also some interesting points from Bruce.
Thanks for your posts McKay - you the man!
