when Sarai couldn't conceive she gave Abraham her nursemaid as a concubine

And look at the trouble that caused. Just look at the Middle East to witness the ongoing consequence of sin.

ROTFLMAO--I can tell you're a Christian by your charity (love) /extreme sarcasm

you, my friend, are wound much too tight. Read the book of Esther to see how a concubine (prostitute) saved the Jews.

The sin please? i.e., who committed the sin Sarai, Abraham or the nursemaid? and which sin is worse? Fornicating or killing the product of the fornication? If pharisees like yourself would be more accepting of the Mary Magdalene's of the world abortion would never be an issue.

I suppose you believe that all Arabs (sons of Abraham thru the handmaid) are the "ongoing consequence of sin."

We're all sinners--why not try a little forgiveness instead of blaming the problems of the Middle East on a little lovin'.
