We learned in class today that the life story of Avraham (and what happened around him) was not included in the torah so that we will not think that there is only one way to approach God and that there is one way to serve God the right way, and therefore we would be able to say that we cannot and are not like Avraham and therefore cannot serve God like that.
I feel like even though this was not in the torah, in other places it gives off that feeling that there is one way to serve God, and many people end up saying they are not able to fufill this and serve God this way.
Did I not understand this clearly or do you agree with me?
i am one of those people who definitely thinks that there is not just one way to serve god. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to me that Avraham's story was not included. However, i do agree with you that sometimes we are told in certain areas that there is only one way to serve god. However, i dont think that this is the case in all the areas.
