Hagar, mother of Ishmael was a young bond woman. No miracle needed for the conception of Ishmael. But Sarah was 90 and also barren (could not have children). So Isaac was a God given miracle son.
Genesis 17:19-21. States: 'And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with hi seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed...
The promise of a son from God was always to be via Sarah and Abraham. Long before Hagar came on the scene. Just prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
You are incorrect in supposing you read just 'a book'. What you did was feed your spirit with every word you read. Living food, not just words. It was as though Jesus was speaking to you.
According to Genesis 21. 1-3. Isaac was the promised son of God..no doubt whatsoever. And think. Sarah was barren and could not conceive, and on top of that she was very very old. So God had to have performed the seemingly impossible. Ishmael was born out of Hagar the young bond woman...
Keep in mind, that the Bible states. That all mankind is corrupt. So don't feel too bad, we are all in the same boat. Our inherited corrupt mind deems we are of corrupt nature. And no good behaviour, no type of self- supposed righteous living can ever be seen by God as being good. Only through...
If you have found so many 'imperfections', it means you have really been reading God's Word. . And that is a blessing. You will benefit from feeding your inner spirit the Holy Word of God. And always keep in mind, the Word is Jesus.
I thought it was to different posts. I will read things more carefully in future. They were all going on and on about the NWO, and the little I do know about Opus Dei I thought would be of interest. Personally, I think no matter what is fed to the masses about most things, is not the whole...
I think you have misunderstood my words. The Written Word Of God, His Word is in the exact form God wanted it to be for whatever reason known only to God. That being so, it can be accepted as being perfect. Regardless of human thinking that it contains imperfections or is lacking in any area...

And I firmly believe God would have allowed all of that, and probably a lot more along the same lines, for a reason our limited human minds are unable to comprehend. It is all as it is, because that is how God wants things to be.
Have you considered that God may have had a reason for leaving things out that some people think should have been included? A reason that is not the obvious one? And by saying the obvious one, I mean people believing that their inclusion or deletion has any bearing on the matter.
Not one thing could have been removed by any human hand if God did not want it removed. And nothing could have been added either thaqt God did not wanted added. How could any human being, even think to do anything regarding God's Holy Written Word that God did not want done. That is the...
