let me think about that for a moment: "Our faith is stronger than Abrahams..." Do you say this because the "Evil in our days is stronger?" I doubt this your latter assertion. Evil may have taken on forms in our days that were unimaginable in Abraham's days, but I don't think it has become "stronger". Abraham, in the Leter to the Hebrews, is said to have believed in a promise that was fulfilled only in our days. So if our faith is stronger now it is because it has an assurance and a guarantee that Abraham only hoped for but did not see.

Abraham Father of Faith
Yes! We admire Abraham, the father of faith. But Jesus Chrisat was sacrificed on the cross for the sins. So have many other people who died like a sacrifice in all kinds of walks of life. At this time the evil is more stronger. So our faith has to be stronger than Abrahams.

Old Soren is nothing if not wordy. Methinks that Abraham's faith was enough to bless an entire race of people, and that is enough, but what do I know? I do know that Easter Vigil and my first communion has me excited and I am thankful to Abraham that it came to be.
