God broke his promise to Abraham and the Bible admits it

Again, all of the mentions of the "I will" versus "I am" are relatively the same regardless of the translation. If I say that because you are one cool dude, I will buy you a new car, would you assume that I meant later on today or tomorrow or sometime thousands of years into the future? What kind of promise is it if it is not going to come true when you actually need it - now? A promise that had no unspecified time of delivery is nothing more than just a promise. I promise to give you a million dollars...someday. You can never say that was a false promise because "someday" has not and never will arrive will it? Do you see what I mean? The simplest answer is that according to the Judeo-Christian concept of bringing the dead back to life/reincarnation, the fact that Abraham physically died, does not negate the possibility of his return & receiving the land. It is interesting that you mention the Judeo-Christian concept because the keyword is Christian. While some Jews do believe in life after death, it is mainly because of wishful thinking and tradition than it is the OT. Yes, there are some very vague mentions of life after death from poetic writings of the OT books but mostly, you will see affirmations of death being the end. From: http://www.jewfaq.org... we have this quote: "Traditional Judaism firmly believes that death is not the end of human existence. However, because Judaism is primarily focused on life here and now rather than on the afterlife, Judaism does not have much dogma about the afterlife, and leaves a great deal of room for personal opinion. It is possible for an Orthodox Jew to believe that the souls of the righteous dead go to a place similar to the Christian heaven, or that they are reincarnated through many lifetimes, or that they simply wait until the coming of the messiah, when they will be resurrected. Likewise, Orthodox Jews can believe that the souls of the wicked are tormented by demons of their own creation, or that wicked souls are simply destroyed at death, ceasing to exist. " The reason why there is such varying opinion on the subject is because the OT makes no clear dogma on the subject. The NT is a different story but the OT makes no reference to eternal life. Thus when God/the bible says that the land will be given to Abraham & his offspring, it means the Jewish people as a whole, not Abraham individually. The promise was to start with Abraham and his family and it did not get fulfilled. The final answer that I will present here now is as follows:There is no contradiction, because while Abraham inherited none of God's promises personally, he inherited all of God's promises through his descendants. He became a great nation through his descendants in Egypt (Dt. 26:5). He inherited the land through his descendants (Gen. 15:7-21). That was not the original promise. The promise was to Abraham first and then the descendants. Your interpretation completely leaves out Abraham receiving anything. You cannot say that "Abe inherited through his descendants" and not have a big problem because Abe was the one promised directly. God said HE would receive this land AND his descendants - not just descendants. The other big problem with your interpretation is that the NT disagrees and the NT is where we get all of the concrete dogma about life after death. If the future inheritance idea is the correct one, you have consistently failed to answer how the NT twice (see first round) mentions that Abe did not receive the things promised! It says nothing about Abe receiving it "through his descendants" nor does it say he has not received them "yet" and will eventually receive it in some futuristic afterlife. If your interpretation is correct, then why did God not see the need to inspire one NT or OT writer to explain that the promise will come true to Abe in the future. Instead, the NT writers say what I have been saying - that Abe did not receive what was promised and note most importantly that the word "yet" does not appear except in the teachings of Christianity. The only reason that Christianity has to include the idea of Abe receiving the promise in the future is because Christianity cannot and will not fathom the idea that God made a false promise to Abe or the more correct idea that the Bible is not the word of any God.
