Wondering about Arguing with G-d
This week I am wondering: What makes you argue with G-d? Are there times when you challenge G-d? Do you think that G-d challenges you?
In the Torah portion this week, we read about Abraham challenging G-d when G-d is about to destroy cities. We also seem to see Abraham not challenging G-d when asked to sacrifice his son.
I love that the Torah gives us examples of situations when people seem to "argue with" G-d. I appreciate that it means there is interaction with G-d.
Do you think that we can argue with G-d? Do you argue with G-d? Do you feel that you can convince G-d to change?
We hear the story of Abraham and the "Binding of Isaac" every year at the High Holy Days. I would love to hear what you think about the kind of interaction that G-d had with Abraham in the story. I would love to know if you would have done things differently, or if you have had other situations that seemed like challenges that made you want to challenge G-d.
