In the first instance this is a disregard of the new seed of Abraham according to the faith. These spiritual seed are the only seed of Abraham in the New Testament. Galatians 3:26 states "For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus" and verse 29 states "And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise." In the second instance Scofield makes God false to His promises when he states that the land promises of the Abrahamic Covenant have not been fulfilled.

We are referring to Joshua 21:43-45 where Scofield has not a single note. "And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed, and dwelt therein. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according all that he sware unto their fathers; and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands. There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass." This passage for which Scofield had no notes fulfills the physical promise unequivocally leaving the "everlasting blessings" to the spiritual believers in Christ in the Gospel Age which we are in today. Though Scofield mixes and mingles and confuses spiritual Israel with natural Israel his intent is to teach that the Hope of Israel today is the land of Abraham instead of the faith of Abraham. After having once received freedom in Christ he would turn Christians back to the beggarly elements of Judaism in a veiled attempt at the political theocracy of British Israel. The originators of JewBritish Israel heresy know that as long as people
