Abraham said, oh- Abraham, whom G!D said of like this: 'He is my friend!' - + Abraham said, 'as a form of kindness towards me, it should be known that you + are- it should be known that I am your brother.' +
+T'was despite the promise that G!D made to Abraham. 'Your descendants + will be as the stars in the night sky, and the grains of sand on the beach or + sea-shore - as numerous as all those!' (wow) +
++ So, one would expect that Abraham would be honoured as a patriach or + an ancestor or a fore-father. So, why or what could be a reason + that he says, 'Call me your brother, as a form of kindness towards me' + (raising or cocking eyebrows) +
+So? Who has a possible suggestion? +
+Well, one out of the many possibilities, including one that is unknown to me, + is that- what did Jesus Christ say when he ate and drank with sinners + and prostitutes and the otherwise destitute? +
+'From now on, you shall call no one on Earth your father. You have + only one father, and he is in Heaven.' +
+The practices of certain people come to mind. 'Call me Father,' or something + like that. +
+Well, in any case, back to the starting question: Why would a person + like Abraham want to be called a brother when he had descendants promised + to him by the LORD G!D? +
+Well, isn't it a form of kindness to not be called a title that would + be taken away from you eventually? +
+To put it in closer comparison,
+ alternative order
+ so you may perchance see, if you have eyes,
+ and you can see - for some have sight, and are blind - let the reader understand -
+ Abraham:
+ Jesus: 'You have only one father.'
+ Abraham: 'Call me your brother, as a form of kindness towards me.'
+
So, guess what knowledge did the LORD G!D put into Abraham, in a time + when the Christ supposedly didn't get sent to the world? +
+Did someone say 'fore-shadow'? Or 'fore-tell'? +
+Isn't it cruel to have a title that will be stripped away from you + eventually? Isn't it a form of kindness to have that title voluntarily + given away? To be kind to one-self, to give away a thing that + doesn't last, voluntarily, and cheerfully, and happily - isn't that + a great kindness for oneself and for others? +
+If you're interested, you could ask around about renunciation, + or (relatedly) a way of living that is not about worldly gain, but about liberation + of others and one-self from needless agony? If not for others, than + for one-self. Why would I want something that doesn't last? Quite + obviously, this... hm. Well, G!D knows what to do with web-site- + the LORD G!D knows best what to do with you and me and afore-mentioned + and web-site and the universe and the sun and the moon (awe-spiring... not + conspiring. Awe-spiring... awe-inspiringly great and marvellous and + splendidly wondrous are Your deeds, oh Almighty King of kings, Lord + of lords, who is Compassionate and Most Merciful, and just and true + in Your judgment and ways, You who are oft-forgiving, and is + swift and terrible and severe in punishment, for you love + justice and detest wickedness, and loves not those who + delight in wickedness.) +
+To the Compassionate and Most, Most Merciful One, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Who?
