Ishmail was born because Sarah lost her faith and ordered Hagar to go with Abraham?

Abraham is one of the best prophets and he was ordered by God to keep Hajar in that particular place. Truly, God ask abraham to do that is the best action by him. \nChristians only see Isaac sons Jewish but for Muslim believe they deny Ishmail sons. A great nation will come from Ishmail that is in the Old Testament>

It all goes back to Abraham and Ishmeal. The fighting and feuding won't ever end. Read Genesis to see the proof.....

no you've got that wrong... Moses and Abraham never saw the promised land... thats NOT heaven.

Wow, it's a toss up for me. Hagar was treated very badly, yet God took care of her. Sarah laughed when the promise was given. Not much faith there. Sarah did not trust the promise of God so she gave Hagar to Abraham to bear a son. Man, I would say Hagar, just because Sarah was so faithless. But I would have to make a final decisions on Sarah based on Hebrews 11:11\nBy faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

He was the father of the Isrealite nation. His son Isaac was born when both he and his wife were way too old to have kids, and she was physically unable to have children. Yet he always had faith that God would keep His promise.

Friend you did not offend me, But one thing I do say, is That Ishmeal was not a Prophet. He was a agitator, why do you think Sarah told Abranham to kick him out of the house, Because he agitate his half brother Isaacc, & a true prophet will not agitate.

Well, first, Jesus was Jewish...he was NOT Christian.\nSecondly, there is little information available about the historical Jesus - most of what we know is from the writings of others about what Jesus said and taught (again, all within the context of Jewish learning).\n\nregarding "mussulman", I assume you mean Muslim?\nLeast we forget, Abraham and Sarah had two children - Issac and Ishmael (actually, Ishmael was born to Hagar, the handmaid of Sarah).\nBecause of the problems between the two women, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away, but God blessed them as well as the people of Israel.\nIshmael became the family linage to the Islamic faith.\nNow, back to Jesus and whether you will enter heaven if you are/are not Christian: remember, Jesus was Jewish and Jewish faith teachs that all will be blessed in the next world as long as we do acts of loving kindness in the here and now, regardless of what our faith is.\nNow, in my book, THAT is the real grace of God.\nAnd now, you know the rest of the story.

Mentally ill people will claim ANYTHING told them to commit an evil act.  If it hadn't been God, it would have been his dog or Bing Crosby's ghost.  Crazy is as crazy does, and organized religion had little to do with it.\n\nThe story of Abraham and Isaac concerns faith and trust.  God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son in the same manner as others made blood sacrifices with animals.  When God realized that Abraham did indeed have strong faith, He intervened and stopped the sacrifice.  Abraham's destiny was to be a great ruler of the Hebrews, God's chosen people.  God needed to see if Abraham had the intestinal fortitude to handle the task.

Neither satan or Baal.  It was Gabriel, a trusted officer of Looeamong (false Kriste) for a thousand years.  Looeamong had long promised him a part of the earth to rule over for himself, but never delivered it.  So Gabriel rebelled and established his own religion with himself as God.  His earthly prophet was Muhammad.

Abraham was the first Jew.  G-d promised the land of Israel to Abraham and his Jewish descendants.\nWhat is it that you do not understand???

Neither. They were both prophets and given a significant assignment. One got to lead the Jews out of slavery and start a personal relationship with God.  The other had the privelege of leading the way before Jesus came and got to baptize him.

They were engaged, which back then was considered being practically married.  Had he accused her of being pregnant and not by him, the logical conclusion the elders would have taken is that she had fornicated and would have been stoned to death per Jewish law based on the Law given to Moses.\n\nIt is not clear where he would have sent her, since it would have to have been away from any jewish settlement where there wouldn't be a chance of her being tried and put to death.

Isa was not the son of God\nIsa was the son of Mariam, the sister of Moses\nIsa did not die on the cross, and was not resurrected.\nIsa is predicted to return in the end times but to break the cross, deny that he is the son of god and point worship to the Islamic Messiah The Mahdi \n\nSounds like a totally different person to me. It certainly is not Yeshua HaNazarite

He was 16 or older.  In Genesis 17:23, he was 13 years old when he was circumcised and Abraham was 99 years old at that time.  Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born, so Ishmael was 14 when Isaac was born.  Isaac had been weaned when Ishmael was sent away by Abraham (at Sarah's insistance) in Genesis 21.  Assuming Isaac was probably 2 years or older when he was weaned, this would mean Ishmael would have been 16 or older when he was sent away.  The scriptures do not specify his exact age.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob are the 3 Patriarchs.  \n\nAbraham was father of Isaac and Ishmael (Arab nations come from Ishmael). \n\nIsaac was father of Jacob and Esau (Roman Empire is said to come from Esau). \n\nJacob fathered the 12 tribes of Israel which is where the Jewish nation comes from.\n\nAbraham's wife was Sarah (a second wife was Hagar who bore Ishmael).\n\nIsaac's wife Rebbecca (Rebecca bore both Jacob and Esau)\n\nJacob's 2 wives Rachel and Leah (plus 2 more wives Bilhah and Zilpah who fathered some of the 12 tribes as well).\n\nSarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah are the 4 matriarchs.\n\nThere are many stories of all of them mainly in Genesis. They are our role models in their relationship to G-d and desire to do His Will. We also emulate their character traits such as kindness, compassion, etc.  Abraham was the first to turn away from Paganism as he ascertained by looking at the world around him that there must be One G-d, Creator of heavens and earth.  It is debated whether the  Patriarchs and Matriarchs were considered "Jewish" since the Jews did not become a nation till a few hundred  years later upon receiving the Torah at Sinai.  \n\nAlthough I've seen it mentioned several times on this site, it is NOT true that Jews only come from the tribe of Judah, although the root word of Judah and Jews is the same.  Jews today come from Levi, Judah and Benjamin.  The rest of the tribes are considered to be lost and will be reclaimed in future time.\n\nHope this answers your question.

Muslims believe that they memorise ABRAHAM, forefather of Prophet Mohammad, and all Israelite prophets.  Abraham tried to offer scarifice of his son.  (Ishmail as muslims believe)

This is a point one must accept on faith, I think.  I believe it was Issac, from whence came the the Jewish people.  I am a Jew.\n\nHowever, I would never dispute the fact that in Islam, the son was Ishmael. \n\n I can accept that whichever son it was, it was Abraham's faith in G-d that is the point of the matter.  I have stood on top of Mt. Moriah, and I had a feeling of Abraham, Issac, and Ishmael being there.\n\nBut, this is just my feelings--------------
