Jesus is not the physical Seed of Abraham, so you have a dilemma and are taking one context of Scripture -that of the context of being a child of Abraham in the sense of being a child of faith, and so, a "child of Abraham" in that sense of his faith- and wrongly trying to make all the world's inhabitants a physical seed out of Jacob's physical loins.What's really sad about this, is it is you who said "read the scripture" and then you don't accept the scripture.
So you take it up with God...because God told Abraham "In Isaac shall your seed be."
The whole point being discussed -which I responded to- is the fact that not every person is Jacob's physical seed, from Jacob's physical loins.
Not even Jesus, the Christ come in flesh, is a seed out of Jacob or Abraham's loins, but He is the Seed of the Woman which is Zion of the Heavenly/ spiritual realm -which realm is as solid and real as the ground we walk on, but is above, not below- and Zion above is personified in the Word from Genesis to Revelation as the Woman whose Seed is Christ who was promised to come, and who is come, in flesh.
God is able to raise up seed to Abraham from stones of earth's dust, but that is another context, and you aren't ready for that until you grasp what's physically being discussed, and "at hand".
Gen 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

The physical descent of the seed is only through the male. Every single soul born is a seed from the loins of their father, and his father, and his father.... and all go back to Noah, and through him, to Adam, but not every single soul is a seed from the loins of Jacob.
