OK, here is my overly simplified, condensed version:
This seems to be the central issue addressed.

Hi Paul . . . they never fully possessed the land?

Or is it that they never fully occupied the land?


Essentially, the person to which Paul is responding believes Israel has already fulfilled the promise concerning the land. Paul shows the error of this interpretation, or tries to. The crux of Paul's arguement is that Israel has not been in physical posession of all the land God promised, and I think he did a decent job of supporting that arguement.

I like that quote of yours, Paul, which I put in first. That states the case well. So, to summarize, one person says God promised the land to Israel and even though they never physically occupied it, they posessed it. Paul states they must physically occupy to actually posess.
