Is the Abrahamic Covenant Unconditional?

This is perhaps the most crucial question on the question of Israel and the church today. Christians are basically divided into two camps.

A. The Dispensationalist who believes God has two distinct plans for the world, one for the nation of Israel -- basically national fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and a second plan for the church -- often referred to as a “parenthesis”.

B. The other group are those who believe God has one single plan of redemption for all people, both Jew and Gentile. All the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament find their ultimate consummation and fulfillment in the person and work of Christ, and his body the church, consisting of Jews and in-grafted Gentiles

One of the foundational issues where this rift begins is the question on the Abrahamic Covenant and whether it was unconditional or conditional?

In this episode I review all the relevant passages starting in the book of Genesis and then all throughout the five books of Moses, otherwise known as the Torah. Regardless of what you believe on this subject, my plea to you is to let your view be formed by the manifold witness of scripture on this important issue. When we finally arrive in the writings of Paul, the answer will be abundantly clear.
