If God could, after making such an absolut promise, tell them that He was not actually talking about them, but a different group that would come in the future, He could just as righteously tell us that He did not mean us when He made the promises upon which we rely. So your doctrine destroies the very founding of the Christian faith.James, you are a Christian, right?
I am a Christian, everyone here are Christians, we have all chosen to follow and obey Jesus.
Who is it that inherit God's Promises? Those people who Jesus said that the Kingdom is now taken from them, or those who bear the fruit of the Gospel? Matthew 21:43
Note well that the OT promises are made to Israel, a word that literally means: One who overcomes.
Who are those who overcome Satan? Christians, of course and we are plainly told they come from every tribe [of Israel] every race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10 and the people mentioned in each of the Seven Church's, as Overcomers, or the Victorious ones.
WE inherit God's Promises and the greatest one was that He would send His Son for the Salvation of the whole world. John 3:16
WE are the people of God, the Israel of God, as Galatians 6:14-16 states. Any other claimant to Israel, is false and will pay dearly for their arrogance.
But instead of telling them that, in the New Testament He repeated His promise, giving as His reason that “the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
