I remember well the first time I read this story in the Bible and I was deeply moved by God's compassion on Hager... and she, being a pagan actually innocence may the great prophecy by saying you are the God who hears and you are the God who sees and that moved me 2 remembrance... Every time I doubt that God is hearing me or seeing me I remember the words of Hagar! I also remember how God after hearing Leah Rachel sister crying and seeing that she was so sad was moved by her tears and I learned that these passages and through my own experiences in life that when you cry out from the bottom of your heart to God about any situation or sorrow... He absolutely responds in whatever way he chooses but it is always good and you may not realize it at the moment but sometimes you realize it later on in hindsight... It has happened to me many times!! God is a true father and really truly loves his children!! Thank you Pastor David and God bless!

To Me Abraham and Sari Couldn't wait on the Lord And All that is a Lack of Faith..God do not Change what is his thoughts. He Do things in his Due Time.

thisss is the chapter I'm at lol!! I had to read that Barnhouse quote more than once I think I got it.

If it had not been for Hagar's arrogance attitude towards Sarai, she would not have to flee. Even in her condition, God still showed concern for mother and son.

What is your thoughts on invitro? IVF? Is that helping God like Abraham and Sarai?

Question: how could this be the 1st physical pre-incarnate visit by God if God had already visited Abram?

There is doubt about the link between Ishmael and the Arabs.

[musadiqmahmood]

I also disagree that Abraham lied, sir .
Prophets are sent to guide humanity as guid not as sinner against who sent .

Sara indeed was prophet Abraham “s sister . She was step sister from other mother. Abraham “s father had two wives as well . Abraham was from one wife and Sara was from other wife !
I can give their wives name too if you like .

✅What was the relationship of Abraham with Sarra before marriage.
Abraham “s Father ( Azra in Arabic) Terah had two wives . Each wife had two children.
First wife Yona was the mother of Abraham.
Second wife Tehevita had Sara .
So, Abraham and and Sara were brother & sister ( step sister ) before they were married .

"21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says? 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar. 25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27For it is written:
“Rejoice, O barren woman,
who bears no children;
break forth and cry aloud,
you who have never travailed;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”
28Now you,  brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.
30But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman."
Galatians 4:21-31

Adam also spoke to God. That was also Jesus.
