Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham\" (John 8:39).<\/pre>\n<p>If that is not enough the apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that the promise comes through the &#8220;seed&#8221; singular which is Christ; &#8220;Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ&#8221; (Galatians 3:16) and both Jew and Gentile inherit the blessings through Christ: &#8220;There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ&#8217;s, then are ye Abraham&#8217;s seed, and heirs according to the promise&#8221; (Galatians 3:28-29).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore this is not explicitly about Israel after the flesh. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 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 (Romans 9:6-8).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"dark\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">They don\u2019t even quote the Torah correctly.
