I subscribe to beliefnet daily bible readings and daily prayers. Yesterday for some reason I got a Jewish verse of the day Genesis 25:1-25:11 from the Torah, and that verse spoke about Abraham marrying another woman and having many concubines and having other wives besides sarah. It goes on to speak about when he died, He left everything to Issac and left provisions for his other wives and concubines as well as for their children. Then it said that Isaac and Ishmial buried Abraham Together!!!. I was really confused by this, because It is so contrary to our own bible. It made me start wondering. How do we balance faith with knowledge, Belief with Logic, or are the two parings always going to be at odds with one another? Will it effect my faith to read the Torah? What about the differences in the same scriptures, stories and characters of our Bible? I mean it isnt like this is another God, same God, different version of the truth. I mean Jesus was a Jew after all. what about that
