Sorry it took me so long to reply to this. It's hard to do lengthy replies on my phone so I have to fire up the laptop. I hope you find it worth the effort.
Then you must now reject Paul who tells you plainly who the seed of Abraham is and who the recipient of the Promises given in that Chapter and every time God did make a promise to Abraham actually are:
Who are the actual children of Abraham, physical descendants or those in the Faith?
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
I mean Paul is literally quoting from the exact chapter you are using as your proof text, you understand this correct?
The context of God promising Abraham that his heirs would be his physical children means that God can't substitute anyone other than Abraham's actual children as heirs. You need to have a scriptural argument for why, when God says,
he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir, that's not really what he means. Nothing you've put in your post abrogates that promise.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness
.
Who is the Seed, was it the physical children of Abraham? The entire Nation of Israel or was it singular, Seed?
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Who was the Promise made according to Scripture? Christ, the singular Seed.
Let's talk about the promises God made to Abraham for a second. God made three promises to Abraham that concern us (not including the one about who his heir would be), and they are the promise of the land, the promise of many descendants, and the promise that through his seed, all nations would be blessed.
The last promise is the one we all inherit, through our faith. We become children of the faith, through the father of faith, Abraham. There's nothing in the Bible that should make anyone think we become
his actual children. It doesn't make sense.
Something else that doesn't make sense is your reading of Galatians 3:16. You say Jesus Christ is the singular seed, which is correct, and if you read the verse, it says that "to Abraham and his seed were the promises made". But then you also say that Jesus Christ is the promise made according to scripture. How could Jesus Christ, the seed of Abraham, be a promise about himself, to himself?
The spiritual promise that was made to Abraham, that we all inherit, is not Jesus Christ. The promise is the Spirit of God, which we receive through belief in Jesus Christ. At the end of this age, all living souls on earth will have the Spirit of God within them, fulfilling two prophecies.
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Who are the Children of God? Physical descendants of Abraham? Nope not according to Scripture. Who are the Promises given to? Physical descendants of Abraham? Nope not according to Scripture. It is literally ONLY those who are in Christ that are Children of Abraham, Children of God, Children of the Promise. A persons physical lineage means absolutely nothing at all.
There are 2 people in the World, the Lost who are not the Children of Abraham, who are not going to receive the Promise, who are not the Children of God and the Saved in Christ of which whose lineage means literally nothing. They are not Jew or Greek, Bond or Free, they are all one in Christ.
Yes, we are all one in Jesus Christ, but as long as you and I are alive, we remain the same sex, race, etc. It's only after death or Rapture that we lose those distinctions. Meanwhile, the prophecies regarding Israel are about physical Israel, and the eternal state of believers doesn't affect Israel's physical status one bit.
Israel means nothing anymore, and really all you need to do is take this Scripture and understand that EVERYTHING promised to the Nation of Israel, ALL OF IT, was literally promised to ONLY JESUS, He is the SEED. If there be any OUTSIDE of the SEED then they receive nothing, they get nothing, the mean nothing in light of the Promises and Eternal Salvation.
So yes without a doubt the AntiChrist Nation of Israel is meaningless, and its not Replacement Theology its called fulfillment of Scripture.
I've already posted verses that strongly disagree with what you've said. Please address these verses and the promises God made to the
nation of Israel.
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
The Church towers over and above the Nation of Israel and ANYONE who was a believer that was a Physical Descendant of Abraham IS part of the Church. However I already know you dont believe that because you think the Church can only be after Christ but that is not the case. Israel was the representation of God to the World prior to Christ and the Church is the representation of God after Christ, we are ALL in the same Tree.
That's not what I believe. A Jew who accepts Jesus Christ today becomes a part of the Church. After the Church is Raptured, every Jew on earth will be an unbeliever. Those Jews who accept Jesus Christ during the Tribulation do not become part of the Church -- they are completed Jews -- the Jews Paul speaks of ...
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The believing remnant of Israel will be the ones who receive the physical promise of the land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants. That's only fair, don't you think? God promised it, and what does the Church want with it? Through Jesus Christ, we have
everything.
