"And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal.3:29) "Abraham's seed! Me? I thought the old Testament belonged to the Jewish people. Aren't they literally Abraham's seed and therefore heirs? ...The apostle is arguing that spiritual union with Christ, not ethnic connection with Abraham, is what identifies the heirs of God's promises."(R. Ortlund Jr.)

Hi Tech, I agree with you. Those who are in Christ are the spiritual seed of Abraham and the promise is to the Church. Remember, though, Christ (his temple is within your heart and not within a church building. ) Th reason I said that those who bless Israel are blessed is because in my heart of hearts I believe that Christ will honor and bless those who in remembrance of his physical presence in the Holy Land and His ministry that occurred there honor and bless Israel in remembrance of his birth, life, death and resurrection there. We honor and love our deceased loved ones at their burial place even though they are no longer present in the grave. Christ will always love the Jews and many will turn to him. We have a good example as there are those who are Messianic Jews who frequent this thread from time to time. Santiago
