I’m going to presume that since barrenness is recognized as in God’s control, that it was God’s will for them to not have children until the perfect time for the fulfillment of His promise.
I don’t think there’s a lesson in Scripture with as obvious consequences as this one, that Abraham disobeyed God and took matters into his own hands, and this world has been dealing with the consequences of that one act of lack of faith for thousands of years.
I see.
“I’m going to presume...”
That’s the point metmom. You’re presumptions may or may not be correct!
Still, wouldn’t you say Eve disobeying God and falling prey to the serpent more consequential?
At any rate, as mentioned before I am not looking for an argument. Bottom line is none of us are without sin; we all go to the Cross for our Salvation (believers I mean).
