I think this web page is ever insightful. It tells about Abraham and his sons Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael was his 1st son born to him by his wife's handmade, Hagar. His wife, Sarah, conceived a son named Isaac. Since Ishmael was born 1st, some arabs believe he has the right to the promise land, not Isaac. But God told Abraham he will give his conventant to Isaac not Ishmael.....So in theory, Isaac represents Christainty and Ishmael represents Islam....Very Interesting....the entire website is also!!!!

I do read the bible. The Choosen land represents a place for those who believe in God and Jesus Christ..it is not a place only for bloodlines or race..but FAITH!
-God creates the city called New Jerusalem; as it is written, "whose builder and maker is God."
It is called the bride, the Lamb’s wife, the holy city, the holy Jerusalem, the heavenly Jerusalem, My Father’s house, the city of the living God, and a rejoicing.
This great city is presented as a bride adorned for her husband. It is spotless and magnificent.
At some point after the Millennium, this city will come down from God out of heaven. Apparently, it will be shortly after the heavens and the earth have passed away.
It appears to be positioned somehow above the new earth; it is a heavenly city.
The glory of God is there. The glory and honor of the kings and nations of the new earth is there.
Abraham looked for this city.

Jews; Muslims didn't get the land because Ishmael was not the one chosen to inherit it (read Bible); And Christians aren't supposed to have it 'cause Jews are His chosen people

First it was the Jews, then the Curtain was torn when Christ died, ending the covenant with the Jews. Christians should be heir but Islam starts from a whole different Direction. We must ascribe unto the Christian tradition. Sarah was given a miracle by God, her son, Isaac. Ishmael is born from a handmade, not from the WIFE of Abraham. This also shows that God favors the man and wife than man and woman.

What about Judaism? The Jews do not even think that ISSAC REPRESENTS CHRISTIANITY. They consider this a loud false claim by THE GOYIM(Gentile Christians). We Muslims do not believe
that God gave his covenant to Issac. It is there in the OLD TESTAMENT and we donot consider it reliable at all. So, whatever is in your THEORY is just your THEORY exclusively--we don't give a ****!!!! And indeed Muslims are the only heir to the KINGDOM--not because God gave his covenant to Ishmael--but because we are the only people chosen by God--following the unaltered TRUE RELIGION OF Father Abraham. And last but not the least-- Not even all Arabs are ancestors of Ishmael. Most Muslims are non-Arabs.

Jesus said: whoever does the will of His Father who is in Heaven is heir to the Kingdom of God.
What is the will of God? Jesus said to follow the two first and foremost commandments", to love God with all our being and above all "things" (including property), and to love (show compassion and forgiveness) to our neighbour, even if he/she may be our enemy. As taught by Moses and Mohamed as well!
The "right" to the property of the "promised land" has long been lost by disobedience to God's commands.

The Christians. That site you gave contained some questions long answered by the church fathers. They are the same questions dug from the grave and dressed new clothes to once again shake the pillars of the Roman Catholic Church. Not gonna work....

What kingdom? that pile of sand in the Mideast. I wouldn't trade one square mile of California, for the whole Mideast (except for maybe the oil). Or, do you mean the Kingdom of Heaven? No such thing, except in people's minds.

Jews are the heirs to the kingdom but then there are also Christians who are the heirs too because they believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins.......
