[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

I am not calling anyone anything, I am just citing commentaries and 
of course the Torah which recorded that Avraham said that Sarah was 
his sister.  No one, including the Torah calls him a liar, it is just 
recorded what he said about Sarah.

I don't understand the relevance of your last sentence, about Sarah's 
birth details in Genesis 11 - chapter 11?  verse 11?  Whoever said 
that Sarah's birth details should or should not have been mentioned 
there - wherever?

I was responding to a questions, why was she called Kalla in one 
place and daughter in another place?

Shoshanna




HH: This is what I don't agree with. You are calling Abraham a liar, and
I am not. That is the point of the discussion. There's no need to
gratuitously call him a liar. Scripture does not require that.

HH: Shoshanna, I tried to explain to you why the Book of Genesis did not
mention Sarah's birth details in Genesis 11. It is extraneous to the
flow of the text.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
