Question 7 - If Abraham’s only begotten son was Isaac, from where were Ishmael and the sons of Keturah came?

Hebrews 11:17 NKJV - "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,"
Galatians 4:22 NKJV - "For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman."
Genesis 16:15 NKJV - "So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael."
Answer:
                Dear readers! Abraham offered up Isaac. But, again Abraham had Isaac by the promise of the Lord. But, it is written in this verse that Isaac was only begotten son of Abraham. As in Genesis 16:5, Abraham begot Ishmael before Isaac through maid servant, Hagar. The Atheist had confusion in, “His only begotten son”, and wrote these sentences in contradictions. Thus, it is proved from this that this Atheist did not have any knowledge, because, as in Galatians 4:22, “Abraham had two sons: the one by a bond woman, the other by a free woman”. The one by a bond woman was Ishmael. The other by a free woman was Isaac. The one by a free woman was heir, but the one by a bond woman was not heir. Not only that, the one by a free woman was born by the promise of the Lord. This son, Isaac was selected in the Lord like his father, Abraham and became the forefather to the nation, Israelites. By this reason, it is written in the letter, Hebrews 11:17 as his only begotten son. Who is the heir to the throne of a king? Is not the son of queen!
