Subject: Is Salvation only through Jesus Christ? |
Bible Note: Still my questions remains, it still not answered by YES! or a NO! You mentioned: The covenant God made with Abraham is still in force through Christ. Christ descended from Abraham in the flesh. Everyone who is born of Christ becomes a descendant of Abraham by faith, and thus heirs of the covenant. I will put here again the verse that I quoted in my last post. Ge 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 7. Ge 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. You mentioned that this promises is belongs to everybody that will accept Christ. But my friend, if you read the verse 8 of chapter 17 it was mentioned: Ge 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. It was given to them the land of canaan, meaning it very specified to them, to the seed of abraham. If you consider me as one of that promises, I must be there in canaan, because it is very clear that it will given to them (seed of abraham) the promise land that included in the covenant. How could you consider me as part of that promises, I am here in the Philippines thousand miles away from that promise land. That covenant is very specific for the Israelites because included in the covenant is the promise land. To weight my argument that covenant made with abraham is specific for them let us read this passages below: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. If you can see, it was mentioned “not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers” God bless, Johnny |
