Bible Note: T'oma, These women in Matthew 1: I can think of Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Which of these are descended from Ishmael? I couldn't find any geneologies showing this. Ga 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Roman 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac thy seed shall be called. Remember, Ishmael was not the child of promise. God's promise to Abraham was to give him the child by Sarah. God truly loves everyone, but let's not mingle His love for mankind with His specific promise to Abraham. And one more thing. . . Where exactly is "Palestine"? Certainly you wouldn't be using the name given to Israel by the Romans, as they attempted to eradicate Israel, would you? Love in Christ, Mark |
