    Muslims are a cult and not of God at all. They even reject his name and his son and the holy ghost. They follow a pedophile who did nothing but spew hate. The punishment of Hagar and Ishmael was more than just and very much too lenient.

    J Dixon I would be careful in what you claim about Ishmael since he is a son of Abraham.

    in Genesis 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. The Lord himself said he would make of him a great nation. There are around 200 - 300 million Arabs in the world and looks like the Lord kept his promise to Ishmael.

    There is less than 15 million Jews in the world per the Jewish almanac. So who is blessed of the Lord and a great nation? Looks to me that the Lord kept his promise to Ishmael. I am no fan of Islam and know it is a false theology as is Judaism that also rejects the Lord Jesus as messiah or Christ.

    1 Corinthians 16:22 - If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (CURSED) Maranatha.

    DO JEWS LOVE JESUS OR ARE THEY CURSED? Just curious is all.

    It is true the the Arabic nation came from Ishmael but neither he or Hagar were terrorists . Hagar was the property of Sarah and had no free will, she obeyed her owner. Ishmael was a boy teasing as boys do . God had mercy on them because of this . The Arabic nation may not have existed but for the actions of Abraham and Sarah. This story is a warning to Christians the importance of waiting on God
