| Mar 13, 2022 at 8:56 | comment | added | Dottard | @KyleJohansen - that point is explicitly listed as the second of the four dot-points about Isaac. The point remains, that Isaac was not Abraham's "only born" son - he had many but he was the miraculous child of promise and the covenant and was thus, unique. | |
| Mar 13, 2022 at 7:07 | comment | added | Kyle Johansen | I think I would have stressed "Isaac was the son of promise/covenant (unlike all Abraham's other children)", it was Isaac through whom God would fulfill his promises. As Hebrews says this means that Abraham must have had faith to sacrifice his "only" son. | |

| Jan 21, 2021 at 1:45 | comment | added | Revelation Lad | @Robert The question is on understanding what God spoke to Abraham. The secondary implications of that are just that. Nor does the possibility of other children play a role in what God spoke when telling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. | |
| Jan 20, 2021 at 22:06 | comment | added | Dottard | @Robert - excellent point and well stated. We are also not told when Keturah became Abraham's "wife" - it may have been before Isaac was born or not. That is also beside the point for the comment in Heb 11:17. | |
| Jan 20, 2021 at 21:27 | comment | added | Robert | @RevelationLad You do not know how many children Abraham had by concubines or when, we only know he was childless when Ishmael was born. For all we know, Ishmael might have been the first of a dozen sons of concubines before Isaac was born of Sarah. This goes to the assumption that if something is not mentioned it must not have happened, which leads people to assume things like people fasting if the scriptures don't mention them having a meal, or claims that no one went to the bathroom in the 40 years wanderings in the desert because it was never described, etc. | |
| Jan 20, 2021 at 21:01 | comment | added | Revelation Lad | I fail to see how Keturah's sons, who had not been born are relevant to what God says to Abraham in Genesis 22. | |
