o //Current City:// Canaan o //Hometown:// Mesopotamia o //Sex:// Male o //Birthday:// 1813 B.C o //Political Views:// God o //Religious Views:// Judaism, Christianity and Islam o //Bio:// Hi. My name is Abraham. I was born in the year 1813 B.C in ancient Mesopotamia. I currently am married to a wonderful woman named Sarah. We have two boys named Ishmael and Isaac. Back when I was a semi-nomadic shepherd, God revealed himself to me, and made promises to give my future children the life they deserved. Ever since that day, I have believed in God and pray all the time. Having as much faith in God as I do has lead me towards becoming a teacher and prophet of God. I set up a school where I can teach others my beliefs of God. Christianity is not my only religion. I am in fact Jewish and Islamic. I have lived in many different cities and countries throughout my life, including Canaan, Haran, Egypt, Hebron, Bethel and the Negev Desert. I traveled throughout those places with my father, Terah. Our family thrived by producing wool and making business on the trade routes throughout those places. After Terah died, I was approached by God himself, who told me to follow him to a great land. God promised me that wherever he took me, he would make a wonderful nation. I became very successful, first in Canaan, where I built a temple to honor my God. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in having an affair with another woman while married to Sarah, who later gave me a son named Ishmael. God did not trust my faith in him anymore and wanted me to sacrifice my beloved son. Of course I could not do that and thankfully God trusted me again and had me sacrifice a ram instead. Sarah died at a young age and was buried in the cave of Machpelah. I plan to have my sons and myself buried right next to her when our time comes. o //Favorite Quotations:// " I will make you a great nation..." - Genesis 12:2 and " But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am" - Genesis 22:11
