So, who is the heir of Abraham? Who is the heir to the land of Israel? The (perhaps) illegitimate but first born Ishmael, or the first born to Abraham and Sarah – Isaac?

Eventually, Hagar and Ishmael were banished from Abraham’s camp, and went out into the desert. Ishmael went on to be the patriarch of the Arab nations and founders of Islam who lay their claim to Israel on Ishmael birth as the first born son of Abraham. Isaac went on to be the patriarch of the tribes of Israel, who base their claim on the land of Israel on Isaac’s birthright.

So what does this all mean? That Jews, Christians, and Muslims all pray to the same God (whilst calling Him different names). That if Abraham would have kept his Johnson in his pants and trusted what God had told him, we wouldn’t be having all of this bloodshed in the Middle East today. Beyond that, I started to believe that they ALL (Christians, Muslims, AND Jews) had it wrong. Back to my basic, fundamental beliefs that God is a God of Love… the True God would not want his followers killing ANYone in His name. That goes for Christians, Muslims, and Jews, too.

Your reading of the Holy Word of G-d is very faulty!

Was Abram or Abraham the father of Ishmael?

Does it matter ?

Yes it does; The former man is in the flesh , the latter man has the Ruach haKodesh.

The Jews and the followers of the Christ believe
in the One True G-d,
creator of the universe.

The followers of Mohammed serve the Evil One.

No more so than anyone else who doesn't worship Christ.
