Subject: Which promises? |
Bible Note: Hi Tracyrobeson and welcome to the forum! You said something that is not always true. God promised Abraham that he would be the father of a great nation. You really don't believe you can claim that promise? God also told Abraham to walk and all the land encircled by his steps would be his, you don't believe you can walk a parcel of land and claim it for yours do you? As I said before in response to JoeRick's question you have to look at the context of the promise, some were only for a particular people. Your right God isn't a respecter of persons Roman 2:11, however that means God doesn't give a man special treatment because of his position or rank. God did have favorites, has he ever shown you any portion of His being? He did Moses. Has he given you wisdom like no man has ever had? He did Solomon. Has he made you the king of Israel? He did David, Saul. Has he ever promised you your lineage would be on the throne of Israel forever? He did David. That is a false teaching that we can claim the promises that are made to other men. |
