1 | Abraham a father at 134 | Genesis | InGodITrust | 187920 | ||
chach, Isaac was heir to the promice, in that the Jewish nation would come through Abraham in his son Isaac. I would assume any other children he had would be in the same category as Ishmael. This would put them "outside of" God's chosen people the Jews. They would then be considered "gentiles" and would not be in the lineage of Israel, thus, outside of God's chosen people. So, the Bible would have no reason to continue their history or significance. Anyone else have a better explaination as this is all I can come up with? Seeking to serve Him, InGodITrust |

2 | Abraham at 134 | Genesis | chach | 187921 | ||
InGodITrust-Thank you for your answer, but I understand that Isaac was the son of promise....my question is why the big deal that Abraham begat Isaac at 100 "by faith Abraham even though he was past age..."when at 134 he stared begatting even more sons....it kind of takes the amazement out of the story on Abrahams part....I know its trival ... but I have always wondered why everyone makes a big deal about Abraham begatting Isaac at 100...seems like he was only getting started.... | ||||||
3 | Abraham at 134 | Genesis | InGodITrust | 187922 | ||
chach, I guess, the obvious, if he could not father children through his first 99 plus years, then it was obviously a miracle of God that at 100 he could. The fact that he went on to father other children is not as relivant (I suppose). There are a multitude of things God chose not to include in Holy Writ. The story God wanted recorded is Abraham's faith and life. The answer to prayer in fathering Isaac, the lineage of Isaac and history of the Jewish nation. I agree it is also amazing that Abraham continued to father other children but the Biblical significance seemed unimportant to be included in Biblical history. Best answer I have at the moment....
