Where is the unconditional promise in scripture?
Please point out?

The entire covenant is conditioned on Jesus. Even ot sacrifices points to Jesus. God is telling people by human efforts we just can't be holy, only through Jesus blood, God giving us a new heart, we are born again, then we are saved.

She has been schooled many, many times, maybe more than 7 years or so on here.. just so you know because time is precious and it can never be regained.
 
No, Israel has never fully posed the land that was promised to them.
Yes they have, you just ignored scripture, here is something else

The Maximum Extent1 Kings 4:21 Solomon's geopolitical borders match the exact coordinates given to Abraham.

And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Benson writes:
1 Kings 4:21. From the river — Euphrates; for so far David, having conquered the Syrians, extended his empire, which Solomon also maintained in that extent. And so God’s promise concerning the giving the whole land, as far as Euphrates, to the Israelites, was fulfilled. And if the Israelites had multiplied so much that the land of Canaan would not have sufficed them, having God’s grant of all the land as far as Euphrates, they might have seized upon it whensoever occasion required. The land of the Philistines — Which is to be understood inclusively; for the Philistines were within Solomon’s dominion. The border of Egypt — Unto the river Sihor, which was the border between Egypt and Canaan. And served — By tribute, or other ways, as he needed and required.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Solomon's empire, like all the great empires of Asia down to the time of the Persians, consisted of a congeries of small kingdoms, all ruled by their own kings 1 Kings 4:24, who admitted the suzerainty of the Jewish monarch, and paid him "presents," i. e., an annual tribute (see 1 Kings 10:25).
Unto the land of the Philistines - There is no word corresponding to "unto" in the Hebrew. The construction should be, "Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the river (i. e., the Euphrates: see the marginal references), over the land of the Philistines," etc. The writer draws attention to the fact that the extent of Solomon's kingdom was in accordance with the promises made to Abraham, Moses, and Joshua

On Neh 9:8

Ne 9:8

And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:

Then after God had saved Abraham and gave him a faithful heart, then God made a covenant with Abraham that he would give him the land of Canaan where many of the heathen tribes had lived. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. (Genesis 13:17) He not only made this promise to Abraham but promised also to give it to the physical seed of Abraham and God had kept these promises. And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. (Joshua 21:43) The LORD is righteous and kept every promise He made to Abraham. The reason that Judah and Israel found themselves in trouble was because they broke the covenant they made with God at Sinai. https://www.scionofzion.com/nehemiah_9_1_10.html

Now you calling Gods word a lie !
 
It's more than one Scripture. I'm talking about the Abrahamic covenant. How did God bring that about? Explain how it happened.
You scared to show any scripture, you know I will refute it. I have shown you plenty of scripture that Praises God for the fulfillment of the Land Promise made to the Fathers, and you flat out deny it, saying that God has not fulfilled the Land Promise.

It is not really about scripture, if you understand C. I. Scofield and his tactics...just sayin.
 
No they can claim the land because God promised them the land. Read how God made the covenant. The covenant was unconditional.
It doesn't matter.God made an unconditional promise to the Jews.
No, Israel has never fully posed the land that was promised to them.
Abrahamic covenant, it was unconditional.
You seem like a nice lady, and I mean you no disrespect, but you are totally wrong in what you stated in all four of the above quotes.

The land promises in the Bible were given to Abram or Abraham and his seed. Like so many others, you apparently misinterpret "seed" to mean "natural descendants." In reality, the Bible tells us that Abraham's seed is Jesus Christ and those who are truly in Christ, whether they be Jews or Gentiles. That is conditional. In fact, hundreds of thousands of Israelites were a part of the exodus from Egypt, and only two of them ever stepped foot into the promised land. If God's promise was unconditional as you claim, then God is a liar who cannot be trusted. Hundreds of thousands of Israelites were overthrown by God in the wilderness because of their repeated temptations. In 1st Corinthians chapter 10, the Apostle Paul told us that Christ was the one they were tempting in the wilderness. Seeing how the land was truly promised to Christ and those who are in him, and seeing how the vast majority of Israelites repeatedly rejected Christ, they were not allowed into the promised land. The two who followed Christ, who is Abraham's seed, namely Joshua and Caleb, did inherit the promised land because they also truly were Abraham's seed through faith in Christ. It is that simple, and if somebody down the line had not conditioned you to believe otherwise, then you would plainly see that this is what the Bible truly teaches.

Let's also listen to what Moses told the Israelites, as God's mouthpiece, when God called them unto himself:​

Exodus 19:3-6​

3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Did you notice the "if" and the "then"? That is conditional, and not unconditional. If you have any familiarity with the scriptures whatsoever, then you know that, apart from small remnants of believers at times, Israel repeatedly sinned against God while violating his conditional covenant. As a direct result, they were repeatedly chastened by God with such things as plagues, pestilences, famines, invasions, and even captivities in foreign lands. Some of their sins include the killing of their own prophets, having a hand, along with certain Gentiles, in the crucifixion of their own Messiah, the persecution of the Apostles from city to city, and they are presently desiring and planning on building a third temple in which temple sacrifices, which deny Christ's atonement, will once again be offered. And you expect any rational human being to offer support to such a nation? They are wicked, with few exceptions. Like everybody else, they need the gospel preached to them, and they need to repent of their sins while placing saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Please stop drinking the "Christian Zionism" Kool-Aid. Its main ingredient is the spirit of antichrist.​

Amen amen amen.

Wake up , so called Christians, if you have any God-fearing in you, please please please humble yourself.
Jesus said it over and over again, there is no other way, He is the way.

Only Jesus, no other way.
 

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16​

14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Stop supporting and defending enemies of the gospel, and start preaching the gospel to them instead that they might be saved.
 
It's sad, Scofield can't save anyone. And it's sad that men follow men and don't seek after God. 'Let no man decieve you' comes to mind.
There was a time back in the 70s I bought a Scofield bible, but the Lord never let me get comfortable with his notes, and dispensations, by the early eighties I started looking amil teachings, and lining up the scriptures, and I stayed in that camp

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4-5
 
Did he bless or curse them when he overthrew almost the entire first generation of Israelites in the wilderness who made the exodus out of Egypt?

Did he bless or curse them when he sent plagues, pestilences, famines, droughts, and invading armies repeatedly throughout their history while also causing them to become captives in foreign lands at times?

Did he bless or curse them when he had their temple burnt to the ground in 70 A.D.?

You do realize that God foretold of both blessings and cursings upon their nation based upon their obedience or disobedience to his conditional covenant, don't you?

Will he bless or curse them when their third temple is rebuilt with accompanying sacrifices that will deny the atonement of Christ?​

Brightfame, I was raised on the Scofield, but it was into my 30s and 40s that I realized my arguments about prophecy were too often based on the Footnotes rather than on the scriptures. Oddly, I had my eyes opened to the gospel of Calvinism quicker than I was able to see the critical errors of dispensational eschatology. I can thank Loraine Boettner's The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination for rescuing me from modern revivalism and free will thought.
 
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Just as I had determined to bring disaster on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,” says the Lord Almighty, 15“so now I have determined to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid. 16These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; 17do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord.

18The word of the Lord Almighty came to me.

19;This is what the Lord Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.”

20This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, 21;and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the Lord and seek the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.’ 22And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him.”

23;This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’” Zech8:14-23

Very good. This is Jesus 2nd coming, the remnant of ethnic jews will finally repent and mourn for the one they pierced, they will mourn big time for their families that passed, who rejected Jesus.
