Well you have lots of evangelical and even some RC Christians believing God gave Israel to the Jews. I'm not sure if you claimed it personally or not.
Well I think we need to go back to NO. 1 here now, Ishmael , know what I mean.
'wrong again-----Penelope-----the issue which I called "the inheritance" ----did not refer to
POSSESSIONS-----it referred to RIGHT TO RULE. Abraham passed his RULERSHIP right to Isaac rather than to Ishmael -----and Isaac---passed his to Jacob (as Rebecca fixed it up) rather than to Esau
Jacob passed the "right to rule" ---to Judah rather than to Reuben. David passed that right to SOLOMON who was certainly not the "first born"
sheeeeesh-----you know so little
in fact----all of the kids got money---including
Ishmael (or goats--or whatever)
Good try, but no matter how you look at it, I can understand what I read. For years I heard the million and one excuses, but there is no way you can use the Bible to justify God gave you the land of Israel.
ROFLMAO-----obviously you can't read-----you certainly do not know what you are reading when you read the bible. Please
cite that statement you allege I made in which I claim "God gave me the land of Israel"---
btw-----since YOU brought it up-----Esau was
the founder of the EDOMITES---who are no
longer extant----the EDOMITES simply assimilated into the Jewish people.
King Herod was an EDOMITE Way back ---jews and edomites were still a bit
hostile towards each other---but the problem
----seems to have resolved along the way---
still-----just 2000 years ago some jews threw
"edomite'' Herod was rome's choice.
For the record----I am not an edomite ----well--maybe I am-----I have a very florid
complexion. Edom sorta refers to "red"
you don't know what you mean----you are a joke------Abraham chose ISAAC as the person who would take on his role as LEADER-----he had a right to do so because
man has CHOICE. The theme of the book of genesis is CHOICE Man was made in the image of God-and has the right of CHOICE------fate vs choice. -----Man has comething that scum like you and yours do not have ----DISCERNMENT
Oh now Abraham did , thought it was God. That must be why he circumcised Ishmael. Also Ishmael and Isaac buried Abraham together. Where is this great nation Abraham gave Ishmael, yous are wanting all Muslims destroyed. You just have such a hard time with you book. The theme of the book of genesis is choice and everyone In was deceitful, and lied. Abraham was given Hagar as a wife, and God said Abraham's seed, not Sarah's egg.
All based on lies an deceit. Do you even know how many children Abraham had?
Good thing God sent an angel to intervene for Isaac or Abraham would of sacrificed him. I have never read where Isaac walked down the mountain. I read the Phoenicians Kings use to sacrifice their firstborn, when things were not going well.
Lies are null and void. Isaac was tricked into blessing Jacob, by his wife. The theme of Genesis is choices, never heard that, and everyone in it made bad choices.
How would you know?-----you never read the book? If you tried----you would not come close to understanding it. Start with stuff a bit easier----like the ODYSSEY-----the themes of the Odyssey are slightly less complex------it also
deals with man's CHOICES-------and just how much CHOICE men have in their own lives--------did you flunk high school literature class----or did they just put you in the DUMMIE classes?
