15 Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. (Galatians 3)

The early Church was all Jewish for about a dozen years - this is the holy remnant of Israel. Then, over time, non-Jews were “grafted into” the fellowship of these early Christians. Why look for more? The Church is the promised seed of the covenant!

The obvious cluelessness of some of you Catholics just astounds me...Is it ignorance or deception??? And why look any further??? Because God comdemns your religion and he does happen to put the truth in the scriptures...All you have to do is look a little further...

Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Gen 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life

Here's a REAL example from every day life...

When I used to go to the mill and buy some corn seed, I never came back with just one kernel...

The seed spoken of are the physical descendents of Abraham's sons...NOT any church...

First, your assumption that I am a Catholic is incorrect. I just believe what the Bible says, and it says the Christ is the seed of Abraham, and we in Christ are the inheritors of that Covenant. Read ALL of Galatians - its really very short. Paul is very clear on this point. I can see no other way to understand the fulfillment of the Old Covenant in the New Covenant. In the first chapter of Galatians Paul says that this did not come to him from man, but by revelation. And this revelation puts all the parts in place - in really is a beautiful picture!
