Smell a motive here...what are you attempting to prove? What is the end game? To do away with the promise? The creation account of “let there be light” can be seen as more than the physical creation but also “let there be Light” as the earth delivered out of the bondage of corruption unto the Liberty of the Sons of God, the children of promise...darkness overcome by light. why not just come out with what you are proposing or searching for a confirmation on? “then for Gen_12:1 & 7 to be applicable still, then god has had to have said, "and go to an earth that I will show you."” ...you don’t think God showed them the New thing He would do? What would be the inheritance of the Sons of God if not the New Creation. “Land” “earth” ...even “wilderness” you can not stick in a box to confine it as all is made barren until every high and lifted thing comes under subjection to God and the obedience of Christ. Acts 7:48-49 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, [49] Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
You have make this thread more complicated than is necessary. In Gen_12:1 & 7 it is my belief that Gen_12:1 should read: -
Gen_12:1: - 12:1 Now the Lord had said to Abram:
"Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father's house,
To a land/an earth that I will show you. "
From your family
And from your father's house,
To a land/an earth that I will show you. "
Gen_12:7: - 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land/earth." And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
This is no way does away with God's Promise to Abraham, but tells us that God has a Plan for the salvation of the whole earth and that in the distant future from Abraham, that Abraham and his descendants would receive their inheritance of the earth. Christians are also a part of this receiving of the same inheritance as we too are grafted into Abraham's descendants.
How God intends to achieve this, is the rest of the biblical story in the scriptures.
If as Stephan states in Acts_7, Abraham received no possession within the Land to rest his foot upon, then God certainly did not promise Abraham "land" in Genesis_12:1 but rather "to an earth that God will show him."
Now you can claim falsely that you know what my purposes are, but you have demonstrated that you have little regard to the accuracy of the translation that we call our scriptures and want to continue the confusion that our translations have introduced into our scriptures.
Shalom
