Was Abraham's Relationship With Hagar Adulterous?

Depends on if she looked like Wonder Woman or not! :D

Yes.

Oh my Gosh! Rico! LOL

I'm accually doing a bible study on a different forum on Genisis. IMO, no. It was the custom at that time. Next question would be, was it right? I don't think God really wanted it that way, and look at the consequences/reprecussions of this act.

Couldn't have been. Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham... Adulterous, no; stupid, impetuous, impatience, yes.

This is the woman he made Ishmael with, right? It's been a long time since I read that story. I don't remember the Bible referring to their relationship as adulterous. Wasn't she a concubine?

Sarah's handmaid I believe or her Egyptian maidservant. Gen 16

That situation is what has given us the Middle East conflict we deal with today. The Arabs are Ishmaelites and the Israelis are descendants of Isaac. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. I am totally straining my brain to remember some of these things I was taught.

Oh yeah, that made it all better. Actually Sarah was just wrong. And then Ishmael was a reminder of her impetousness. Still adultery to me if they weren't married even under the Law. Is a concubine a wife under the Law?
