Wasn't Sarai Abram's sister??? Why was incest okay back in those days but not now?
So, Sarai was faithless and didn't bother to wait on the promise of God that she would have a child, and sent her handmaid Hagar the Egyptian into Abram, and because of her faithlessness, she had Ishmael/ his descendants and we are all plagued with the wicked Mozlems, who have been on a murdering Jihad against everyone- Jew and Gentile alike for over 1400 years.
Good going, Sarai.
This also reminds me of Lot's faithless daughters who, after being led out of Sodom by Angels, didn't have enough faith to believe that God would find them husbands, and laid with their own father to get children.
Sick puppies.
I know that the will of God must be first and foremost. I also know that God held back a pure remnant of people that Jesus would eventually come from.
The more I try to understand, the more confused I get.
Dgjot, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS understanding and HIS wisdom.
