Woah, brother, I was not putting words in your mouth. I do not mean to offend. My point was to say that these are Paul's words, not mine. The land grant was not removed it was expanded to include the entire world. And the culmination of all the promises to David, to Israel, to Abraham, and back to Gen. 3:15 culminate in the receiving of the Spirit by faith, and are fulfilled in Christ--the offspring of Abrahamto whom the promises were given. This is not to misapply a metaphor. I'm not trying to start a fight here, only get at the true teaching of the whole counsel of God, and reading the OT in light of the NT and not the reverse.

Would I be incorrect to assume your view is some form of premillennial dispensationalism? Honest Q.

Do you ask that question to put me in a category so you can categorically dismiss my arguments? Is that an ad hominem argument? I prefer to focus on the issue at hand. Please don't take offense. I've worked as an attorney in litigation for decades and I've come to view argument as an essential tool to find the truth. It's basically the Socratic Method. It's been employed as a means of seeking the truth for thousands of years but I have found that it isn't very efficient if the interlocutors go off on tangents and don't stay focused on the issue at hand. We don't seem to be making much headway on the land grant issue. How about I just say, "Bless You Brother" and give it a rest for now?

No: I asked because labels and categories can function as conversational shorthand; they can sometimes come pre-packaged with other positions which, once discovered, may get closer to the issue at hand. Presuppositions matter: if there is disagreement downstream, the real source of disagreement may be somewhere upstream. Call it a kind of root cause analysis.
