Cosmos and land are two different words. I think part of the problem is that you're interpreting the word earth as the globe. People didn't start calling the globe the earth until after Paul's day. That's a more modern invention. In the Bible the dry land is called earth. 9 And God said, Let...

No Doug. Again, it was Paul who said it. Your argument is with Paul. Isaac tells us that the Blessing of Abraham is the land and Paul tells us that this promise comes to the Gentiles through Christ. I hate to keep repeating the same thing but it seems to me you're just refusing believe what's...

But you're looking at a translation. What is all 69 occurrences are translated land?

I'm not isolating one passage. Look at the entire chapter of Galatians 3. Paul's whole argument is that the land is to the Gentiles through Christ.. Ephesians address both the Jew and the Gentile. However, verse 3-12 are referencing the Jews. That's my whole point.

I didn't try to prove you wrong. You claimed I am wrong. I simply asked you for evidence to support you'r position. It appears you've decline to give any, instead saying I have to research on my own. Since you claimed I was wrong the onus is on you to prove that. As I said, the people Iknow are...

Do you have any evidence for this? People I know who read Greek and Hebrew both hold this position. I would think if this is strictly an English translation issue they would see that. I agree that the inheritance was expanded to the earth. But, from what I see in Scripture God told Abraham he...

Thank you! It's nice to be here.

Doug, It's not specific to Jacob and his descendants. That's Paul's whole argument. It's not for them, it's for the believers. That's his argument in Galatians 3 that the blessing of Abraham comes to the Gentiles through faith. His argument is that the Jews were not the heirs of the promise to...

"The blessing of Abraham" is the inheritance of the land. That's made plain in Genesis 28 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 2 "Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's...

You'll have to take that up with God. But, the passage says that the blessing of Abraham comes to the Gentiles through faith in Christ.

Again, Genesis 28 and Galatians 3:14 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of...

Yes, I agree. I would submit that the promise was made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Christ.

I read your post. However, as I pointed out Paul tells us that the Christians inherit the land.

Yes, they do. You might want to read Genesis 28. It states plainly what the blessing of Abraham is.

Sure. Paul makes the argument in Galatians 3. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive...

Can you elaborate?

It's in the OT in multiple places. You are correct that he never received it. That means the only way he can receive the promise of God is through the resurrection.

There you go again presuming to read my mind. OP's question: But why so much disagreement among professing believers? My answer: Ignorance It seems pretty clear to me

Because I was waiting to see if I got a response from the OP. Too often I've seen posts where someone starts a thread and then never comes back to reply. My question is why do you assume the worst from someone you've not interacted with? You presumed to know my intentions and then suggest that I...

I thought that was clear.
