Actually, it is true that God loves all . . . even those who reject Him.

Is that what happened to the Egyptians who drowned in the Red Sea? Or the Baal prophets that Elijah hacked to bits? Or the people Christ said they were sons of the devil? Or what about the horrors that will come on judgment day? It is a humanistic notion that God love all. God hate sin. Man is sinful. It's rather simple logic. The only difference in this equation is that God makes an effort to find fellowship with us.

Dismissive rejection of God’s Promises to His Buddy Abraham is a shocking denial of Biblical truth, to me.

No one is denying God's promise to Abraham. What is being argued is whether that promise has been fulfilled. I say it was fulfilled with Christ.

The only Promises to Abraham that were fulfilled in Christ . . . that I can recall off the top of my head . . . are:

1. That the Messiah would come through him.
2. That the gentiles would also be blessed through him.

Am I forgetting one?
