comment Did Yitzchak not Fulfill the Mitzvah of “Be Fruitful and Multiply”?
@DoubleAA maybe yitzchak had a daughter? The op seems to be assuming that lack of a positive mention of such is proof enough

comment Explanation of Avos 2:6?
I would like to know where the answer for #3 comes from originally. Also, #1 would imply that the rest of Avos isn't necessary for the layman to know.

comment Why did God lie about Sarah?
the gemarah (yevamos 65b) sites other sources for knowing that it is permitted to change to maintain peace. the other stuff about truth and emes makes my head spin.

comment Why do we say Vhu Rachum before Maariv?
so why do we say it at times that the beis din wouldn't be administering lashes such as motzei shabbos. According to your alternate answer why is it not said to represent the morning korban tamid as well?

comment Why did God lie about Sarah?
@msh210 interesting, but it made me think of another connection with the haftorah. the shunamite women's constant response is Shalom, contrast this with the fact that we learn from God's changing of Sarah's words that it is permitted (or possibly a mitzvah) to change to maintain shalom
