Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael

Who was the elder son of Abraham? Ishmael or Isaac?

Who Was the Sacrificial Son? Isaac or Ishmael?

Jews, Christians and Muslims agree, Abraham, the friend of God, is an example of pure and unconditional righteousness and faith. The love that Abraham displayed towards God is clearly seen in Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only beloved son.

Where they do disagree on, however, is the identity of the sacrificial child.

Jews and Christians claims that Isaac was the only promised child of Abraham..Muslims on the other hand believe that Ishmael was the one offered up by Abraham.

Just because you can't leave your pork chops, you can't change the law of God to say that you will be saved by believe alone. You need both, keep the commandments and believe in God, Don't be extreme in you religion, thread the middle path.

Matthew 5:18

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

@hross233 the bible is immensely offensive so change it immediately, disgusting, evil:

Numbers 31:17-18

So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves

As for the last point made by Shabir Ally about mismatch of accounts, these gospels were written by mathew, mark, luke and john not necessarly on the same day the events happened but purhaps later maybe after months or years and as with such accounts they contradict in date the events took place but the events all conform to each other as in the case of the trimphant entry into Jerusalem-cursing the fig tree -entering the temple.

@Lamuares God meant the legitimate child of Abraham. It was not any miracle for a man of 100 & a girl to have a child. Gods gift came through Sarah,90. The Bible says , when Isaac was born Sarah asked Abraham to send Ishmael and Hagar away. But Abraham was concerned as he thought Ismael was also his son. But God told him not to be afraid for the boy and the slave. Do as Sarah tells as it is through Isaac that you will have the descendants that i promised. That is why they were sent away.
