Yes, the gentiles are the spiritual children of Abraham. As we have entered into the same covenant God made with him throguh Jesus, we share the same promises, and we are his spiritual children.
Remember before God made the covenant with Abraham he told him to give him his son? This was part of the covenant. Since Abraham was willing to give his only son, God gave his only son.

Buy "spiritual" you must mean no blood relation. I'm not Christian anymore, but what if we are, or are not, "spiritual" children of Abraham? I don't care to be related to a mythical character out of a flawed, man-made book.

That sounds like what the mormons believe. Well i dont know about the abraham part. But the mormons believe that we are all spirits before we get a human body.

Jesus is the fine branching out as Jews ( I think) and we are grafted on so part of the body like his arms or legs so the answer is yes we are decendants of abraham

Well Abraham does mean "father of many" so I guess you can believe that if you want to.

It doesn't matter. The word "Christians" means that we are servants of Christ.... and that should be the most important thing to any Christian.
