Once again you have a problem then with your position. You rightly said the Kingdom of God began after the cross (you said Penticost but close enough) and Jesus said no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless they be born from above.

Came you name a few spiritual blessings Abraham did not receive that we now receive?

Did not arrive to what? What was he promised that he did not receive while he was alive but post cross believers did receive and enjoy today?

So the Kingdom began post cross, I agree. And Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." As we can see, being born of God begins with the New Covenant. We are making some progress. This is a topic...

I see nothing in the passage you site that would correlate with the promises Abraham did not receive yet post cross saints have. Maybe you could be more specific.

Actually it began with the OT saints who died in faith and the disciples when they received the rebirth of the Holy Spirit after meeting with Jesus after His resurrection and glorification. But close enough, you are making progress. As Hebrews declares, the New Heart begins with the New Covenant...

You provided no scripture as I asked.......

Well you have a problem then, Hebrews says Abraham didn't receive the promise and NT believers did...

Yes, and Abraham died in faith NOT receiving the promise AND all (post cross) have..........

So Abraham was not yet part of the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. This is the New Covenant, when God begins to build His church, the heavenly Jerusalem, which Abraham looked FORWARD to. But WE have entered that spiritual city which Abraham looked forward to and was...

So you agree the indwelling Holy Spirit is the New Covenant? "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;"

The scripture says they died having NOT received the promises. Name the promises they were given in the OT and did not receive through the Old Covenant.

Ok, name the promises using the OT scripture which these would have had to go by.

Still waiting..... Hebrews says, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises"......."And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us," What promises did the OT saints NOT receive? What "better...

Paul had faith in God, was his heart circumcised before the cross of Christ?

With all due respect, you answer did not deal with any of what the scripture said.

And don't forget your response to..... Hebrews says, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises"......."And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us," What promises did the OT saints NOT...

Then you are saying this scripture is wrong, it is not future from this revelation, it is not a "new covenant" and the putting of the "law in their inward parts" will not be done "after those days". "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of...

It's not a problem. you keep saying this as your opinion bc you have not shown it from any scripture. Paul had faith in God, Paul had physical circumcision, yet Paul was lost, having no circumcised heart, until Jesus Christ stopped him on the road to Damascus. So it appears you have the...

Of course they have. The subject is the New Birth through the New Covenant. The scripture is clear, the New Heart comes with the New Covenant. Hebrews says, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises"......."And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received...
