Both of these questions should be answered on the basis of the biblical text as far as we have read so far. I ask that you not do research. But do not make things up. Make sure you can prove anything you say with a biblical text, the more specific the better.
Please make you answers brief: 1-2 sentences for no. 1, and a few for no. 2.
1. Abraham is the first biblical figure to believe (or, trust) in God (Gen 15:6). The question is why.
