  • If you read Genesis, from chapter 1 up to chapter 10 it will fill you in with the goings on up to Abraham. Also note that God rested on the seventh day, and also that the bible doesn't show the seventh day having an end.
  • Um, why can't anyone honestly answer? Okay as far as I understood, couple of thousands of years passed between Adam And Eve and Abraham. Meantime many civilizations got built, people got other gods, life goes on. Then an idol maker decided everything would be easier if he only had to carve one god.
  • There are various views here: 1) one common view, inspired from the Bible, is that God created the whole universe as we know it (except itself). And before God created the universe, you can assume that God was alone. But if you are God, you are not supposed to be bored... 2) another view is that the god described in the Bible was just some extra terrestrial intelligence that possibly fabricated humans and contacted them at different times afterwards. For instance to present himself as a god to Abraham. Then this god could have just been somehow much more powerful than Abraham and the others. It could have arisen in the universe through evolution or been fabricated by an even superior being. 3) another view is that Abraham and the others just had some kind of psychological experience and formulated this as some contact with a god: But that god actually never existed outside of their mind. This is actually the most sensible explanation.
  • Adam and Eve, tower of Babel, and Noah all happened before Abraham.
  • Abraham was Hebrew not a Jew, and although the ancestor of both, Abraham himself was neither Israelite nor Arab, but he was someone who totally submitted to God's will. Israelites are the descendants of Isaac's son Jacob, who God renamed Israel, and from Jacob's son Judah come the terms Jew and Jewish. Genesis 4:25-26 " Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD." So it was at the time of Seth that man began to call upon the name of the Lord as in worship. This was well before Abraham. God, was from the very beginning of the creation of this universe, God. Although God's name wasn't called upon in a worshipful manner until Seth, communication was maintained between God and man from Adam and Eve and onward. This is clearly seen within the pages of Scripture. God spoke with Adam, Eve, Cain, Able and all that followed. To answer your question, of course "that god" existed before then. he is after all, the Creator of this universe. What God was doing before He created this universe is unknown because Scripture is silent on the subject. I guess He didn't deem it necessary that mankind new this information.
  • My opinion is that the God of Abraham was originally just one of many Gods worshiped in Ancient Mesopotamia.Perhaps he was some sort of local tribal or city God in Ur. In his book, "The Religious Experience of Mankind" Professor Ninian Smart, says that the God of Abraham was called "El Shaddai" or "Lord of the Mountains." Abraham may have believed in the existance of other Gods, but he did not worship them. The God of Moses was Yahweh, but it is hard to be sure that Yahweh and El Shaddai were the same God.
