Abraham had to claim the land. He had to walk around the land God was giving to him and his descendants. The new Jerusalem will be 1500 by 1500 by 1500 miles. The entire Arab Continental plate. Deuteronomy 11:24 "Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border". Joshua 1:3 "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel. 3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses. 4 Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, the child of the "slave" is entitled to the same inheritance as the child of the free women. As very little of the promised land is under the control of the descendants of Israel. Most of the land is controlled by the descendants of Ishmael. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science has a half life of 47 years. Then new information comes along, and we have a better understanding. DNA was discovered in my lifetime. I remember reading "The Double Helix" by James Watson when I was in High School when it was fresh off the press. Watson actually does not have a very good reputation. His information is not really wrong. We just know a LOT more about DNA today than we knew back in the '60's. Of course, it is amazing the Bible has not changed since the day the Bible was given to Moses. Our understanding tends to change, and even our translation changes. Although what we received from the Rabbi has not changed in the Hebrew. You can say with theology, what is true today will be wrong tomorrow. Look at gravity. Newton's formulas still work. Einstein's formulas are better because we can do more with them. Newton's math could not get us to Mars. My son is a computer engineer, and he had a professor that taught him how to make a formula. Him and I work together, and he can come up with a formula for some of the things I talk about in terms of astrophysics. I have people who try to argue about the age of the earth because they do not know how well the math is established for that. Using the same math that they use for the GPS on their phone. What they use to call trigonometry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most difficult for me to understand. God is a God of absolute, perfect, precise justice. Yet the world is filled with what appears to be a LOT of injustice. This seems like a huge contradiction to me. We know a day is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0916 seconds. So we know how accurate and precise things can be.
