Conclusion with Eliza Lino Abaya on the Subject "Abraham and Hagar"

Eliza Lino Abaya, the opposer, was unable to substantiate her claims regarding Abraham and Hagar in her studies. She argued that Hagar was not Abraham's wife, despite clear scriptural evidence stating otherwise. The scriptures explicitly mention that Sarah, Abraham's wife, gave Hagar to Abraham to be his wife, thus affirming Hagar’s status as Abraham’s wife.

Abaya’s argument further deviated when she attempted to draw parallels between Abraham's situation and that of David's sin with Uriah. This comparison is unwarranted and irrelevant. David's transgressions, including sending Uriah to the frontlines to facilitate his death, are distinctly different from the narrative involving Abraham and Hagar. There is no scriptural basis to link the two accounts, as Abraham's actions did not involve the same moral failings exhibited by David.

By failing to recognize these clear differences, Abaya demonstrates a misinterpretation of the scriptural context. Her inability to stay pertinent to the central issue shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the texts involved. The scriptural narrative about Abraham and Hagar is straightforward and does not lend itself to the complexities and moral failings of David’s story.

Thus, based on her unfounded comparisons and irrelevant diversions, it is clear that Eliza Lino Abaya’s argument lacks a solid scriptural foundation. Her failure to maintain the correct context and her attempts to introduce unrelated scriptural accounts do not support her thesis. The scriptures provide clear evidence that Hagar was indeed given to Abraham as his wife by Sarah, thereby refuting Abaya’s assumptions and highlighting her inability to accurately interpret the scriptural texts.

Scriptural References

Here are the relevant passages:

Hagar as Abraham's Wife:

Genesis 16:3: "And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife." 

David and Uriah:

2 Samuel 11:14-15: "And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die."

These references highlight the distinct differences between the narratives of Abraham and Hagar and David and Uriah. The scriptures clearly affirm that Hagar was given to Abraham to be his wife, and the account of David and Uriah involves a direct act of treachery and sin, with no connection to the situation of Abraham and Hagar.
