70 of the 80 selections used to compose MESSIAH by Handel were from the OT. But we are supposed to believe it is a separate program and that there is no grace by the tiny minds of 2P2Ps.
Right, you are obsessed with a few D'ist beliefs that are overturned by this post.
Can you list them?
There is no interest or place or attention on 'land promises.' The NT disregards them in place of the exceeding grace and mission in Christ.
I think STP that you are missing that I'm saying the NT doesn't have any interest or attention in the land. Are you seeing that? I think you are thinking of OT passages. Which raises the question, how are they to be related?
Otherwise show me someplace where the NT is concerned about a land promise. Rom 11 doesn't count because 'saved' is not a Davidic theocracy. It's what it always is in Romans: sins debt taken away, the new covenant, and a clear turn from sin.
Show me plainly from Romans, Galatians and Hebrews and I'm there with you. It is theologically unnecessary and non-existent. Instead, the generation is warned of DISINHERITANCE in Acts 3.
'the meek will inherit the land (of Israel)' did make a practical offer that if the people of Judea would stop going with the zealots, it could have been saved. Likewise, the command 'if a soldier asks for help for one mile, go a second' (no confrontation with Rome). But the mission of God was still going to all nations by virtue of the message itself; it had no attachments to the land.
hebrews does say if they were (in Judea) thinking of where they came from (Egypt or Persia) they could have returned and they didn't, and it wasn't Judea, so... Make the right conclusion.
You should be asking the question the NT deals with: how are the promises to Israel fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ!
Your agenda is completely foreign to the apostles teaching.

Just the whole world, that's a lot of land.
Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
How many Israelites, who were under the law, mentioned as seeking a city in Heb 11A?
:idunno:
All the believers--the remnant--the elect--, and the ones before the law weren't under it. Your ability to put together meaningful questions is a quagmire.
