Abraham was promised posession of the land. He died, never having any of it. Common christianity would say abraham is in heaven, if you belive this then when will abraham be given this land?
Gen. 15:18-21 "…unto thy seed (Abraham) have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates".
And if you thought about telling me the old testament is unreliable, how about this?
Heb 11:13. These (incl. abraham) all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Doesnt pilgrims mean they understoond they were only only on the earth for a short while? if they embrased the promises they must have expected to be raised to life and give the land?
