The Bible (CH 11-28)

While reading genesis chapters 11-25 i realized that most of the stories in the bible we already know them, what we don’t know is that they come from the bible and we also don’t know much details of the story. For example Adam and Eve, The Arch of Noah, The Babel Tower, Abel and Cain and the story of Abraham. All these stories we knew them but we didn’t know much details about them.

Important things happen in these chapters amongst them: Abram journey into Egypt, when he meets him wife Sarai, Abrams name is changed to Abraham. Destruction of Sodom, Isaac and Ishmael (his sons) are born, Abrahams faith is out into trial, Sarah dies, the seek of a wife for Isaac, Isaac meets Rebekah, Abraham dies. Then it passes to the next generation where Isaac has 2 sons names Esssau and Jacob, Isaac grows rich (he finds a well), and a fight between his sons.

What I don’t understand much about this whole religion issue is that I noticed that most of the names in the bible are Jewish names know a days, and I fully understand that Jesus was Jewish and that his prophets were also. What I don’t understand is if Jesus was Jewish, why doesn’t Jewish religion belief in Christ?? I think this is illogical because if one of the people of the Jewish community did this huge act (just like Jesus did) why don’t they believe in that time to one of their community members. Why don’t stick up for him if he was one of them? I am very intrigued and I hope to find the answer for this later on on the bible!
