Can you give some scripture to support that God commanded Abram not to bed Hagar?
Do you not consider the lack of trust itself to be disobedience?

His conscience should have been his guide. Just as his conscience should have been his guide back when he lied, and told Pharaoh that Sarah was his sister. He was also called Abram then. :think:

Why should I?
You just quoted that lack of faith is sin. Would that mean abraham sinned in his lack of faith, which would be disobedience?

Scripture is not being nullified by me....or Paul.
It's being explained in the light of the revelation given to Paul. You want to ignore what the Risen Lord revealed to Pau rather than believe it.
But, I think you know that. You just refuse to admit it.

Actually the body of Christ accuses you, and we are many in ONE body.
Now I have to laugh at myself.
He was still a law unto himself hunh?
Romans 2:14
“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”
Took awhile, didn't?
I'll tell yuh what.
I'm going to have to retract some of what I've said.
Now let me tell you why.
I've just now discovered that Abram had not been told that it was Sarah that would have the child until after Sarah gave him Hagar.
He had only been told that the seed would come from his body.
So then that act could not have been impatience or lack of trust. (my bad)
Nor could it be disobedience as Lifeisgood asserted.(several of you guys' bad)
Abram was not under the law or in direct disobedience to God.
For where there is no law sin is not imputed.
This site was very helpful.

Are you kidding?
Genesis 26:4-5I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws."
You should be more careful what you say.
That's speaking of law keeping. It is not speaking of the righteousness of faith which was accounted when Abraham believed. That he obeyed the law has nothing to do with his being accounted as righteous. We see that here. How was faith then reckoned as righteousness?
Romans 4:10-11 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
You've been shown this and told this countless times, God's UNtruth and you continue to try and lead people astray with your false gospel of works (obedience to the LAW).

Of course not by Paul.
I can hardly believe that you think Paul would give another gospel after he warns everyone that even if he or an angel gave another gospel may they be accursed. Are you kidding me? According to you he gave another gospel!
