Magnoliaa:
that "manipulation" is actually a "gift of influence". Evry woman's got it and it can be a virtue if use wisely like esther and abigail, it can also be a vice if used wrongly e.g eve, the wife of herod, jezebel and so on....

How u ever wondered how come adam was able to heed to the "urging" of his wife while forgetting a COMMAND given to him DIRECTLY from GOD (his creator, as in the creator of the universe!)?

That just shows how powerful that "gift" is!

And abraham too...some one dt God visited (isnt that such an honour?) and told him he'd have a child. Wait, God PROMISED him! And in d blink of an eye, he forgot that huge promise and was giving in to his wife's idea....

Hmm.. Deep

MrAkias:
First tym am seeing an almost reasonable thread on nl, bt still, it seems dat d op is high wit (dnt knw) 2 dig bck 2 genesis for a question dat wil nt contribute anything to ur spiritual, physical, financial, moral, nd even ur academic life. Too bad

It did add. Bro. A lot.

bibijay123:
I don't think so. But in my opinion I think she probably felt lonely afterwards especially when the pregnant maid started acting up. You too imagine it nau, the hubby wld surely give the pregnant lady more attention which will breed jealousy in the madame of the house.

Hmmm.. You have a good argument there. And I'm getting the fact the women love their men to give them total attention.

Thanks..

bibijay123:
She accused him because she felt he had given her maid the right to disrespect her.( despise). Sometimes we think we can stand a certain situation until we find ourselves in it.

I'm not despising her. I just want to understand if she meant he should have disagreed with her?

SirWere:
You do know how unrealistic that sh*t sounds, right

Na you come sabi ooo..

Softorgasm:
op that was in the days where men are allowed to get married to multiple women and as you can raed, sarai gave her maid to hagar for her husband to sleep with so that she can bore him a child because sarai was unable to conceive..
It's no big deal .

I just want to understand the psychology behind her going back to accuse him.

pweetixandy:
the mistress being Sarah right?

Noi.. Haggai

dingbang:
That tells you women are complicated

That's it oo..

Nma27:
At least Faithful Abraham didn't go bashing Haggai behind Sarah's back....

Hmmm.. But why did she come accusing him again.

I need full analysis from our ladies;

What happened here?


Genesis 16
2

AMP:And Sarai said to Abram, See here, the Lord has restrained me from bearing [children]. I am asking you to have intercourse with my maid; it may be that I can obtain children by her. And Abram listened to and heeded what Sarai said.

3

AMP:So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her Egyptian maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his [secondary] wife.

4

AMP:And he had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant; and when she saw that she was with child, she looked with contempt upon her mistress and despised her.

5

AMP:Then Sarai said to Abram, May [the responsibility for] my wrong and deprivation of rights be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she was with child, I was contemptible and despised in her eyes. May the Lord be the judge between you and me.

I just want to understand what she really wanted.

I've observed protocols issues like this. People tend to flare up at the slightest of issues especially we that believe it's our father's house.
Most times, protocols are made like that if there is any special person coming to preach etc.

Meanwhile, you need to be a part of the system before you can understand their point of view.
Getting angry is normal but not getting over it and returning to the church is disastrous.
