Was Abraham then repeating the sin of Adam by listening to and obeying a woman rather than God?
that thought crossed my mind, but Adam already knew the will of God, which was not to eat of the fruit.
I didn’t see where Abram was aware that God did not want Sarai to bear a child (is it clear what the will of God was? in this case?). Just that she was unable to but apparently wanted a child very much.
This brings up another question that if someone is unable to perform an otherwise normal bodily function (in this case having a baby), should it be concluded that it is God’s will? Conversely, if a woman is quite fertile and bears multiple children is it reasonable to conclude that was God’s will as well?
Please understand that I am not trying to antagonize others or lessen their faith by offering a perspective on Scripture. I do this with good intentions!
