What is father Abraham main line of business or the kinds of business he was engaged in ?

And how did this business affect his love life as a normad or regular traveler

Just for knowledge sakes, I discovered Abraham was a constant sojourner. Perhaps this was why he paid more attention to being acceptable in where he goes than fighting for love.
This explains why he called Sarah his sister to the king.

Father Abraham was a real hustler! He was a jack of all trades, a master of many. He was like the Tony Stark of his time, except instead of making Iron Man suits, he was tending to his flocks and herds.

And let's not forget his skills in agriculture and trade. He could turn a profit like nobody's business! He was a true businessman, always looking for the next deal, the next opportunity to make a buck.

But being a nomad and traveler had its challenges when it came to love. I mean, it's hard to maintain a stable relationship when you're always on the move. It's like trying to build a house on quicksand!

And don't get me started on his love triangle with Sarah and Hagar. I mean, talk about drama! That whole situation was messier than a toddler eating spaghetti.

But despite the challenges, Father Abraham was a legend in his own time. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, always chasing after his dreams, and never backing down from a challenge. So, if you ever need a role model for your own business or love life, just remember Father Abraham!

1. His skills in agriculture? Where is evidence of this claim you make abeg?

2. Abraham may have been a herdsman but he also seemed to have been a mercenary of sorts given the encounter with the 4 kings - Genesis 14.

Hey there! So, you wanna know if Abraham was a farming pro? Well, let me tell you, he was more than just a pro, he was a boss! Genesis 13:2 tells us that this dude was rolling in it - he had so much livestock, silver, and gold, it would make your head spin. How did he get all that, you ask? With his mad agricultural skills, of course!

Abraham knew everything there was to know about breeding, herding, and managing livestock. He was like the OG rancher, the goat whisperer, the cow king! And get this, he didn't just do it in any old place - he did it in the Negeb, a desert region where farming and agriculture would have been super tough. But did that stop him? Heck no! He thrived in that harsh environment like it was nothing.

So, if you're ever in need of some farming advice, just remember - WWAD? What would Abraham do? He'd probably just drop some serious farming knowledge on you and make it look easy.

Agriculture is the deliberate effort made by man to till the soil, grow crops and rear animals for food and other purposes. Agriculture can also be defined as the art or practice of growing crops and raising of animal for man's use.

1. You seem to be embellishing here. According to what is written in Genesis 13 vs 2, Abraham instead had lots of animals and gold and silver but nothing there indicates that all of that gold and silver or even the animals came from what you term "mad agricultural skills".

2. Try to leave religion and its delusions out of the pages of scripture when you read it abeg.

Ahoy there, matey! Let me spin you a tale about the great Abraham and his treasure trove of livestock, silver, and gold!

One possible explanation for Abraham's wealth is that he inherited it from his father, Terah. Genesis 11:32 states that Terah had other sons in addition to Abraham, and it's possible that he divided his wealth among them before his death. Alternatively, Abraham may have accumulated his wealth through his own business ventures and trading activities.

As for how he obtained his livestock, it's possible that Abraham either raised them himself or acquired them through trade or gifts from other people. In those times, livestock such as sheep, goats, and cattle were highly valued and were often used as currency for trade.

Similarly, Abraham may have obtained his silver and gold through trade or as gifts from others. These precious metals were highly prized and were often used as a medium of exchange in ancient times.

Overall, while the specific details of how Abraham obtained his wealth are not known, it's likely that he accumulated it through a combination of inheritance, business ventures, trading, and possibly gifts from others.

Legend has it that Abraham was one of the wealthiest men of his time, and his riches were the envy of all who knew him. Some say that he inherited his fortune from his father, while others speculate that he built it up through shrewd trading and business deals.

Abraham's wealth was the stuff of legends, and it's no wonder that his name has gone down in history as one of the greatest and richest men of all time!

Certainly! The book of Genesis in the Bible does indeed describe Abraham as a man of great wealth.

In Genesis 13:2, it is written, "Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold." This verse makes it clear that Abraham was not just well-off, but extremely wealthy, with vast amounts of livestock and precious metals to his name.

Furthermore, in Genesis 24:35, Abraham's servant describes him as "the blessed of the Lord," and goes on to say that "the Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys."

This passage further emphasizes Abraham's wealth and status, not just in terms of material possessions, but also in terms of his spiritual blessings from God.

So there you have it - the biblical account clearly portrays Abraham as a man of immense wealth and blessings from the Lord.

1. Your tales do this discussion no good as none of the above suggests that Abraham came to acquire all of his health as a result of being the live stock farmer which you claim. He was blessed and he did become great, but no indication that his wealth, even his silver and gold, came directly from this being a livestock farmer.

Why are these religious fanatics fond of using this line

Regarding your comment about religious fanatics using the line "Please deepen your understanding of the Bible and obtain some historical books on the topic," it's important to remember that everyone has different beliefs and values. Some people may feel strongly about their religious beliefs and want to share them with others. While it's important to be respectful of others' beliefs, it's also important to have open and honest discussions.

If you feel uncomfortable or disinterested in discussing religious topics further, it's okay to politely and respectfully end the conversation. You can say something like, "Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, but I'm not comfortable discussing this topic further." It's important to prioritize your own boundaries and well-being in any conversation.

1. Your religious beliefs shouldn't drive you to insert your delusions in between the line of any text as that is plain dishonest which is generally frowned upon even outside of the religious context of things.

2. This ought not to be a religious topic given the details in the book can be accessed and assessed by pretty much anyone with access. So, again, your dishonest submissions are really just that, dishonest, considering they do not in fact align with what is in fact written.

2. Abraham may have been a herdsman but he also seemed to have been a mercenary of sorts given the encounter with the 4 kings - Genesis 14.

BE sure not to judge the Bible based on ASSUMPTIONS. Both Lot and Abraham had flocks and herds and when they came to a piece of land that could not sustain both their flocks and herds, arguments broke out among the herdsmen working for them. Lot decided to leave and head east into the fertile plain of Siddim and established his tent before Sodom, while Abraham stayed in Canaan and moved to the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron.

In Genesis 14:12, Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions were carried off into captivity.
Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive so he sent messengers to his confederate Amorite allies, Mamre, Eshcol, and Aner informing them of the situation and asking for assistance.
Abrahm also called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

For Abraham, to have trained men DOESNT MEAN he operated a mercenary team. They were a well trained regular guard who protect his property and interests since in that Era, wealthy men were responsible for their own security.

The above submission is because after the battle, Abrham met Melchizedek who wanted to responded with hospitality, wanting nothing but to say thank you. But the king of Sodom was rather political in his approach. He didn’t say thank you or offer food and drink. Instead, the king of Sodom wanted to strike a deal. He offered all the loot to Abraham, as long as he returns the people to the king.

The problem with this is that the Mesopotamian kings captured the people and Iooted the cities of the plains. Abraham had not taken anything from them, thus technically he owed the king’s of the Plain nothing legally or morally. It was legally Abraham’s by the fair fortunes of war. But Abraham was not like that. Instead of making a deal with the king and his royal entourage, Abraham’s response surprised the king by refusing to keep loot or people.
I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.
(Genesis 14:22-23)
This obviously shows ABraham was never a mercenary as inferred by you

you are soooooo on point. the same is still happening in modern times, its hard for a spouse to always be on the move and not take nonsesne risks.

1. Does any of that read like what an ordinary farmer does in times of trouble? Regular guards, to go to battle with nations? Are you serious so?

2. I don't follow at all. How exactly does any of what you stated prove Abram was not in the mercenary business? If anything, the fact that He had a well trained group of men that were battle-ready means Abraham was more than just a livestock farmer.

Father Abraham, known as the "father of many nations," was undoubtedly a great leader and faithful servant of God. But what about his love life? Did his nomadic lifestyle affect his relationships?

Well, let's take a closer look. Father Abraham was known to travel extensively throughout the Middle East, so it's safe to say that he wasn't always in one place for very long. This could certainly pose some challenges when it comes to maintaining a stable and committed relationship.

Imagine trying to plan a date with someone who's constantly on the move – it's not exactly easy! And what about trying to build a future together? If one partner is always on the move, it's hard to settle down and start a family.

But despite these challenges, Father Abraham was able to maintain a strong and loving relationship with his wife Sarah. In fact, their love story is one of the most famous in the Bible!

So, how did they do it? Well, for starters, they had a strong foundation of trust and faith in God. They were able to lean on each other and rely on their shared values to navigate the challenges of their nomadic lifestyle.

But that's not to say that there weren't some bumps in the road. There was that one time when Father Abraham tried to pass off Sarah as his sister to protect himself from a potential threat... let's just say that didn't go over too well!

And let's not forget about Hagar, Sarah's servant who bore a son with Father Abraham. Talk about some relationship drama! But through it all, Father Abraham and Sarah were able to stick together and weather the storms.

So, what's the lesson here? Well, if Father Abraham can maintain a loving relationship while constantly on the move, there's hope for the rest of us! It takes a strong foundation of trust and faith, as well as a willingness to adapt and overcome challenges together.

Well, it sounds like this lady is as stubborn as a donkey in a carrot patch! Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we just can't get through to people.

But hey, that's life! We can't please everyone all the time. Even Lord Jesus Christ Himself had his fair share of naysayers and skeptics.

So, my advice to you? Don't waste your breath arguing with someone who just doesn't get it. Life is too short for that kind of nonsense! Instead, focus your energy on spreading positivity and light wherever you go.

And if all else fails, just remember this: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. So let this lady be like that stubborn horse, and you can be the friendly neighborhood bartender offering up some refreshing drinks to the thirsty souls who are ready to receive it!

Cheers to you, my friend. Don't let the naysayers get you down!
