I misunderstood the question. The spirit of Jesus was in all the prophets who prophesied about him.
And whose SPIRIT was in JESUS pre crucified body?

Was Jesus' spirit different and separate from THE FATHER's

And where did YHE SPIRIT go?

And whose SPIRIT raised JESUS' post crucified body ?

And how many HOLY SPIRITS are
There in Heaven now since Jesus lives

Here God promises that a son will come from his body who will be Abraham's heir (heir of the promises - land of Canaan included) and will multiply to become an innumerable people.
Yes, that's a promise. However, it has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. It doesn't even refer to any parallels.

This son, ultimately, is Jesus Christ.
NO. He isn't. You might as well say he's ultimately Warren Beatty or Napoleon Bonaparte.

This promise has nothing to do with Jesus? Then what does Paul mean when he says that all of the promises of God find their fulfillment in Christ? (2 Corinthians 1:20)

NO. He isn't. You might as well say he's ultimately Warren Beatty or Napoleon Bonaparte.

Yes he is.

And further, Abraham prophecied that GOD WOULD PROVIDE THE SACRIFICE

HE DID
And it isn't Isaac's blood that makes man clean before GOD

It's CHRIST's...THE SON OF GOD WHO CAME FORTH FROM THE FATHER AND INTO THE WORLD

No Isaac is not the "PROMISED son" whom GOD was pointing to

And even David's son is not THE SON who will build a house for GOD

Indeed, the true son of David who will build the temple is Jesus Christ. Likewise the true son of David who will die because of David's sin with Bathsheba is Jesus Christ.

That's right.

Then what does Paul mean when he says that all of the promises of God find their fulfillment in Christ? (2 Corinthians 1:20)
Here's that verse:

For all the promises of God in him are yea...
This clearly does not teach or mean that every promise made by God to anyone refers to Jesus. Even if, for some reason, this one did...Abraham couldn't have Faith in Jesus merely by trusting God.

That's right.
Well I disagree. I think that every promise in Scripture is connected to Christ.

I disagree. I'm still waiting for your answer to my question. But here's another way to approach this: Jesus is Yahweh. Yahweh is Jesus. So if Abraham believes in Yahweh then he believes in Jesus.

"Connected to" is not the issue. The claim that it's possible to "have Faith in" a being you have zero knowledge of is still the issue.
