>That "oath" to Abraham was nailed to a cross. But, thats not really as important as Jesus saying that anyone who refused Him as Savior would be condemned. Sorry, but Jews arent saved simply because theyre Jewish. if they reject his Son, theyre no better off than Muslims. Read Mark 16:16.<

I hope you are not expousing that old heresy of replacement theology.The new covenant in no way abolishes Gods promise that Israel was given to the Jews forever and they are God's chosen people.
Gen 26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Gen 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

Gen 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

The land promise was fulfilled. To understand the "seed" read Galatians 3:16-29. It does not refer to fleshly Israel. Romans 9:6-7. Regards.
