But the point you overlook is that Abraham did not benefit from Jesus after He had "passed through the hands of Mary." Abraham benefited before that occurred.

"No, not one" as it says in scripture. God is not bound by our time. There is no salvation w/o Jesus. Even those who physically came before Him are saved by Him and through Him.

“God is not bound by our time.”

This fact gets lost when it is mentioned by those who deny Mary’s singular role, that if she had not assented to God’s request, he simply would have gotten a replacement womb.

The once and for all in the NOW of God seems to be of no consequence accordingly.

He simply gets a “do over” with another girl in the neighborhood of her tribe.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Even those who physically came before Him are saved by Him and through Him.

Certainly. And the vessel of Jesus' birth has nothing to do with Abraham's salvation, your salvation or my salvation.

Christ alone died on the cross at Calvary. Men demean His one-time perfect sacrifice by giving to others the praise that is due Christ alone.
