    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

    The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; Matt 1
    Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, Luke 3:23,34

    Luke 3:21,22 NKJV When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. <Pictured Jesus of Nazareth having died and having been raised out of the dead) > And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

    What, by Jesus (the promised seed of Abraham through Isaac) obediently going away in death became available to be given to men and or people?

    John 16:7 YLT 'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

    Acts 2:32,33 NKJV “This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. (Out of the dead) “Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
    John 7:39 YLT and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

    for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,
    and if ye, of Christ, then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs. Gal 3:26,29 YLT


    Now this next verse each of you can do, with, whatsoever the Spirit leads you to do.

    Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

    are you trying to say something here? How does this even fit my title from another thread?

    If it helps, I thought the same thing. I am trying to figure out how percho is making connection to Romans 9 with these verses. It's not readily apparent.

    Well I am showing, "the election," is through only the promised seed of Abraham, Isaac, and even then because through Isaac to the promised seed, singular, Christ, the elect, who received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, which could then be poured into men as the spirit of adoption, thereby they await, the adoption, the redemption of the purchased possession, the body.

    And, IMHO, that leaves only the question. How extensive is that, pouring out of the Spirit, unto the adoption?

    and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come (born) of a woman, come (born) under law, that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive; and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!' Gal 4:4-6 YLT with born inserted, because I believe it to be better. I also understand to whom Gal was written.

    Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:


    Sermon on Mars Hill
    And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: Acts 17:26,27

    Does everyone have the same appointed time? - John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
    Does one, birth oneself, either time?

    All of you, share your thoughts relative to the following thought.

    John 7:39 YLT and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Is that verse relative to? Rom 8:11 YLT and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. - Is that the very same Spirit and the same Spirit in the following : V 15 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit (Spirit) of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba -- Father.' -also V 23 And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;

    My question? Was that Spirit available for Abraham, being Abraham was before the glorification of Jesus? Can God apply that Spirit to the corrupted flesh of Abraham and thus redeem the body of Abraham?

    How do you all think this works? Using only the word of God, of course.

    Romans 4:20-22 says of Abraham, "No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” . Like all believers, Abraham was saved by his faith in the Lord, as were all the OT "believers".

    And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. Matt 8:11
    There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. Luke 13:28,29

    Question?

    In order for Abraham to, "go to Heaven," and or, "inherit the kingdom of God," Did Jesus have to be born of a virgin, die and be raised back to life out of the dead?

    A spirit to Spirit relationship...
    Better yet, John 17:3.

    To know God and His Son.:)
    Yes.
    It could have happened no other way, as it was foretold.

    God, who cannot lie, made the decision to send His Son before the world began.

    Correct, correct, correct.

    And that promise was a promise of hope. Hope, contingent upon, the obedience of the Son of God, born of woman. sent in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin Rom 8:3. Going away in death. That was the faith of Abraham, that his seed (singular) Christ would be obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

    Faith is the substance of hope. The death of Christ was the faith of Abraham. He saw the death of Christ and his resurrection in Isaac, when God told him to sacrifice his only son. When Jesus said Abraham saw his day, he was speaking of the day of his resurrection.

    Ps 118:22-24 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner. From Jehovah hath this been, It is wonderful in our eyes, This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

    By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him (Christ) in a figure. Heb 11:17-19

    Isaac to date has not been raised from the dead but the singular seed of Abraham Christ has. That is the day Abraham saw.

    IMHO
