you religious morons might READ the Bible before you make your silly statements


1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

quite a sinner that Abram. fornicate with the maid then kick her out of the tribe.

Yes, Abram was a sinner. That's part of the wonder of this story. God can take fallen sinners like Abram--and me--and use us in His plan. Isn't that incredibly wonderful? If you read further in this story, you will also see that God took care of both Hagar and her baby.

I am a religious moron?

What in your quote contradicts what I have stated?

You are a weak minded man looking to justify yourself in some distortion of scripture.

G_d promised Abram a son with Sarai, they both waned in their faith and took matters into their own hands. G_d choose not the son of fornication but the son of His intentions. The one of holy conception.
