God helps those who need his help the most....

achilles2010, I am sorry to stop you here and ask that you recall a significant verse in the Bible where it is and I quote: "I will make you into a great nation And I will bless you; I will make your name great, and You will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And whoever curses you I will curse; And all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:2-3 I think you will know what this verse is and the significance of it - it is the promise of God, to Abraham. Hence, it is already indicative that since the beginning the Hebrews were the chosen lot and with it came God's promise. There is nothing indicative of whatever lessons you have brought up here. However, I have one simple lesson here and that is the lesson on promise. I think it is clearly indicative that God takes a serious view on promises and as you can see no matter how imperfect His chosen race was - He is always there to fulfill His promise made and till today has not become extinct. Likewise, it is also teaching us about the way we choose our spouses and living the marriage vows that we made to each other at the alter or church or even at the solemnization office. “One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises that one makes” - Friedrich Nietzsche.

I guess God chose the Israelites , because they were a continuity of the descendants of Adam and Eve, who were loyally following God. He did not choose Cain coz' he sinned and disobeyed God. He chose virtuous people who choose t carry in the requirements of him and so to fulfill his promise. He did promise the faithful ones that he will be with them and the promised seed would be their descendant(Jesus). All the other mentioned civilizations, did not worship the true God, but made their own Gods. As far as circumcision is concerned, we see that God protected the Jews from any kind of contamination of defilement, he wanted the race to be as better as possible for the arrival of the promised seed.

God did not come down to help the Hebrews…they helped themselves to become a strong widespread clan and from them came the Christians and Muslims who further spread and consolidated this story of Genesis. There were definitely more advanced ancient civilizations though none of them managed to survive in their original form due to various natural and man-made factors. How and why did the Hebrew patriarch choose that particular land is not clear to me though I certainly don’t believe in any God coming down and guiding Abraham towards it. Maybe he was just way too wise and a visionary…certainly if we look at the Jews, they do come across as more intelligent and accomplished than most races on the earth. So to answer your question, I certainly believe that God helps those who help themselves… in other words, we devise ways of helping ourselves and labour hard to achieve success and then thank God for just that little push in the right direction.

God didn't choose the Hebrews because they were on the verge of extinction. God chose Abraham because he believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. In Matthew 13:12 Jesus said, "For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

Para1: Was abraham the patriarch of Jews and Muslims ONLY? What about christians? Para2: Why god has to curse all those who curse abraham? Isn't that a very silly on the part of god of bible to stoop down to such a human level? Doesn't that make him just like any other common men of abraham's time? Para3: "God entered into a covenant with Abraham in exchange of recognition of Yahweh as God." Really strange thing happening here! God needs recognition? That is a ridiculous request from God to a human being. Also it is an open admission there were other Gods. They are still around. Para 4: Is the date/period of BCE 1900 true? Is there any valid proof to substantiate that date/period? Is it a date that is mentioned in bible? If not how did you arrive at that date/period during which this migration took place? Para 5: Now I understand why christians are moving into poor third world countries? god does not like wealthy people? but why does then church goes on accumulating so much wealth while god chooses only poor? Para 6: So circumcision can solve the problem of production of offspring? What do you mean by "on the verge of extinction"? But what happened to 'those chosen people' till about 65 years back is still fresh in the memory. They were being hunted down through out the last 2000 years, the last being millions ordered to be killed by Hitler. Hitler clarified to the Vatican that he is just speeding up things which the church always wanted to. Para 7: God was about to lose? Wow! I thought this can happen to us human only! Para 8: we are misusing god for all petty things while we can help each other. Are you trying to say god has kept a board outside his office like those Lions Club / Rotary Club kind "We Help" or "May I Help You?" I prefer to go with Ben Franklin as that recognizes our effort also. My stand is God cannot be partial. His help is always around, only thing is that we should recognize that presence of him and accept whatever he gives. in the case you mentioned, he helped hebrews only because abraham entered in to a covenant with him to accept him as god. else he did not have any other motive to help them, whatever be their condition or situation.

God helps people who need help, not because he/she has money or some nationality

I think both aphomorisms are correct. God does not want us to sit doing nothing and wait for his help to come.He wants us to act in a proper manner and the fruits of our actions are given by him.Now this does not mean that a man commits a crime and expects God to help him in doing it successfully.We do not get what we want but what we deserve.Secondly God comes to the aid of those who have been abandoned by others and have nowhere to go to.When such people pray to God then he comes to their help by showing them the right path.God always gives us what we need and not what we want.

For me yes specially you call his name Jehovah God his holy spirit immediately would be in you so try it.

God will help those who ask for help to her and tried in his life. To be sure, give all your life to god.
