End of the world couldn't come soon enough

[Canyarion]

1:
That law was made AFTER Abraham lived.
2:
Who says Jakob really saw God?
3: Sure, he could have destroyed all those people through his angels, but he wanted Judah to do it themselves.
4: Can't really find it, but I guess it's another form of tempting. The first one is tempting someone to become evil, which is impossible for Jehovah (even though he may allow a bit, but never more than we can bear). The second one was a test, an opportunity for Abraham to show his faith.

To answer a few, anyway.
