The first covenant with Israel, the Abrahamic covenant, is detailed in Genesis 12:1-3 and Genesis 15:18-21. Genesis 12:1-3 says "Now the a LORD had said to Abram: Get b out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation". The Abrahamic covenant was made with the nation

You are confusing events.

Gen 12:10-3 was a command.

The covenant, however, did not take place there; it took place in Gen 15:18 when the ceremony took place.

Jesus fulfilled the law, He did not fulfill the Abrahamic covenant, nor any of the other promises that He made to the nation of Israel.

You're again going directly against Gal 3:16 which says the promises were given "to one person, meaning Christ".

Jesus fulled the law, not any promises.

You said this twice, even though it's been already been pointed out to you exactly what Galatians says.

Your statements are incorrect on many points.

There's no confusion. The first covenant with the nation of Israel was the Abrahamic covenant. There's no confusion at all.

You're again going directly against Gal 3:16 which says the promises were given "to one person, meaning Christ".

And, when we keep reading to the next verse, we find:

What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.

So, again, this is speaking of the law, not the land and salvation and Redeemer promises God made to the nation of Israel. God specifically states that the covenant and the promises have not been done away with.

You said this twice, even though it's been already been pointed out to you exactly what Galatians says. Your statements are incorrect on many points.

And you have yet to provide any Scripture which says that God has cancelled His promises to His nation, Israel. Jesus emphatically states that He came to fulfill the law and makes absolutely no mention of the promises that He has made to His chosen people. The Scripture you think you gave me that proves you right only serves to prove that you will spiritualize Scripture without any authorization from God that you do so and no indication in the text itself that it be spiritualized and you will do this in a lame attempt to make replacement theology work.

You have produced not one iota of Scripture where God says that He has cancelled the promises He made to the nation Israel. Your taking it upon yourself to try to change the meaning of God's word by spiritualizing it and allegorizing it when you have absolutely no authorization to do so does not make your false doctrine legitimate.
