Did Abram's father Terah believe in God?

It is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible whether Terah, Abram's father, believed in God. However, Terah's family was from a region known for idol worship, so it is likely that he may have been influenced by these beliefs. It was Abram who later became the patriarch of monotheistic faith in God.


How did Abram deceive the Egyptian king?

According to Genesis 12:13, Abram feared that the king would kill him in order to have sex with his wife. Abram somehow knew that the king would not kill her brother for the same reason, so told the king that she was only his sister. For the same reason, he successfully deceived the king of Gerar by saying that his by now quite elderly wife really was his sister.

Why did Abram pay tithes to Melchizedek in Genesis 14-20?

Nobody knows for sure because The Bible does not say. All the commentaries and tithe-preachers say that he was either commanded to so or else freely chose to do so.A better suggestion comes from 14:21. The law of the land all around Abram's world of 2000 BC taught that one must give spoils of war to one's local king-priest. That is what I believe is the context.Why? The king of Sodom asked Abram for the persons because he knew that rightfully Abram could keep them as slaves If the law of the land controlled the 90% of 14:21 then it also controlled the 10% of 14:20.
