Well, I know God made a promise to Ismael's mother.
But it was through the promised son that God brought the Messiah who would die on the cross for my sin
Show me one prophesy of God through Ismael.
Name me one thing the descendants of Ismael did for the good of man.
Nobody ever answers this question.
It just gets deflected all the time.
God said bring your first born Issac to the alter, in the bible,
Why was Isaac called his first born when it was Ismael who was the first born.
Hagar was not a bond woman as said by some people. she was just a woman and an slave chose by Abraham's wife to bare a child by Abraham. That makes it legitimate
People use all theese excuses that's not in the bible but never answer the question
And Well you know there's no way of knowing exactly what blood was in Jacobs sons, whether Jacob's blood was entirely from Isaacs descendents is a bit of a brain storm really.
Theres evidence that the descendants of Ishmael mixed with the descendants of Abraham down the line, before they got to Jacob.
Another brain storm is Jacob's fourth born Judha was to carry the seed for Jesus, but why choose the fourth born
As Judha was by no means perfect just as his the first 3 born brothers where not perfect either, they all made mistakes.
But people use the excuse Ismael made some kind of mistake.
