Answer 1

(c)
Abraham (pbuh) was a Muslim because he submitted to the will of God.
The Arabs are among his descendants from his son Ishmael (pbuh).
So too are the children of Israel (pbuh), also known as Jacob (pbuh) his descendants from his son Isaac (pbuh).
So the Jews, Christians and Muslims are from among his descendants. The Prophets (pbut) of these major world religions are also from among his descendants.

Answer 2

The children of Abraham through his son Isac are the Jews .since Abraham is the father of isac but not of the deseand or the son of Isac SO HE CANNOT BE JEW but christains are those who belive that Jesus is the son of God who has died on the cross for the sin of the people.Abraham belive in one and only God.It is unacceptable to him that a person's sin can be pardon if someone else die for it.If Abraham would have belived so then many prophets after him could have said so.and it is not mention anywere in the old textment is a proof That HE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN By the same logic used above HE ALSO MAY NOT BE AN ARAB But who is he? " A MAN THAT HAS SURROUNDERED HIS WILL TO GOD"THAT IS A MUSLIM (if translated in to arabic the one word that can be use is Abraham is a Muslim as all the prophets of God are)

Answer 3

(c)

Abraham was born a Sumerian (in the city of Ur), but he was Aramean by ethnicity. His ancestral homeland was in Haran, on the Iraq/Syria border. (I think Jews to this day say at Passover, "Our father Abraham was a wandering Aramean...")

There is evidence (a little) that Abraham claimed to be "Hebrew" by ethnicity. The earliest mention of the Hebrews comes from the Nuzi letters (1400 BC) where a Hebrew slave is mentioned. So by that time, there already was a group of people calling themselves by this name, while the real Hebrews were still tracking far to the south on their 40-year departure from Egypt. That would lend credence to the idea that Hebrews were descended from "Eber" named in Genesis 11, included a number of related groups, and Abraham was one of them.

(It would be impossible to be an " 'Eberew" and an Aramean at the same time; they were two different lines of Semites. However, it's very possible that the Hebrews spoke an Aramean language and took the name from that fact.

Abraham was not really Jewish, his descendants were (as you mentioned, his children through Isaac).

Abraham was not really Arab, either. Some of his descendants were through Ismael, as well as through Esau. But there are many ethnic groups we call "Arab" who were not descended from either of these, and the Bible supports this. Many were descended from Canaan, some from Lot, some from other descendants of Cush, especially further south into Saudi Arabia. Only a very small portion can claim direct descent through Abraham, and because of wars and intermarriage in the last 3800 years, I doubt that anyone can prove their direct descent except Jews.

Was Abraham a Christian? Abraham did believe in salvation, evidenced by his dedication to God at great expense, but he never knew Jesus. So this is something only God can determine.

Answer 4

I'll go for C and I'll tell U why.

What's good about Quran (Muslims Religious Book) is that it is the Last book from Allah. And in it a story of each Prophet and religon is mentiond without distortion. Although there were attempts but all failed.

Ibrahim was a peacful man. In his time, people who beleived in god (Allah) were called Haneefi. He and his two sons have built the Ka'ba in Mekkah and yes he's not Jews neither Christian.

Answer 5

Probably originally a real historical person who was respected in the Hebrew, and later Islamic traditions, and who became a central figure in the written traditional saga of the Israelite peoples, and later in Islamic writings. This is not the same thing as saying all the stories told about him were literally biographically true: the ancient Israelites (and early Muslims) were less interested in accurate biographical details than in telling stories that reflected how they saw themselves as a people and expressing their central values. As most traditional stories do.

The distinction between "Arab" and "Jewish" is purely to do with culture and tradition. There is no "Arab" race distinct from any "Jewish" race.

Abraham was neither "Christian" nor "Jewish" nor "Muslim" in any modern senses. However, all three traditions revere him as a possibly historical and possibly partly legendary monotheist antecedent.

Answer 6

Abraham trusted in Jehovah. Jehovah promised him that through his lineage the messiah will be born. Abraham is dead/sleep and waits the resurrection that is coming soon.

A Christian is someone that beliefe that Jesus was God's son and was resurrected by Jehovah God and now Jehovah God has made Jesus King and Judge.

Trinitirans are not Christian because they don't belife in Jesus's father. They think Jesus is the almighty God. They think Jesus talked and prayed to himself and had a triple personality. Jesus taught his deciples to love his father, Trinitirians don't love Jesus's Father, so they are not christians but Trinitirians.

Answer 7

Abraham was born 352 years after the flood. At 427 years he got The Promised Land covenant. Noah had died 350 years after the flood Gen.9:28,29; Shem died 502 years after. Abraham did have 6 sons by Keturah. Abraham was called a Hebrew.
Abraham died 527 years after Gen.25:7,9; Ishmael age 89, Isaac age 75.
Ishmael was born 438 years after the flood, he died at age 137. Gen.25:17; Abraham and God loved him, he and his family lived a very decent life in their dwelling place.
Isaac born 452 years after the flood, died 632 after. Jacob born 512, had a twin brother Esau. Jacob was in Egypt 642 after flood at age 130 Gen.47:9,11,28; He died 659 after Flood. He had the 12 tribes and they were called Jews, especially from Judah, but they were the family of Abraham.
Matt.1:1-17;
Noah is son #10, Abraham is son #20, David is son #34, Jehoiachin is son #48 captive in Babylon Empire #3, Jesus is son #62 in genealogy and born in Roman Empire #6.
Heb.2:9,14,16 [ Jesus is seed of Abraham ];

Christ like, or knowing the word of God, was called christian.

Answer 8

I say c, he was not a Jew or a Muslim. If I were to pick one, I would pick the Jew, because he worshiped the god of the Jews, and the God of the Muslims does not exist. But, I went with C because Judaism and Islam were not established at Abraham's time.

Answer 9

c) Abraham was some primitive man with a religion that was borrowed from other cultures. He was probably a nice bloke that wore dresses every now and then. Ate fish, drank water, used human refuse as fertilizer. Probably had a few kids. He has just been used by latter primitive people to invent a slightly more advanced(changed) religion

Answer 10

Abraham was a faithful follower and friend of the true God, he trusted God fully and rightly so.
