You are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Many other people went up with them, as well as large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. …It is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.

Which of the following statements best describes Dr. Pratt’s opinion regarding the erroneous way people often make application of the stories of Abraham to our lives today? Select the best answer.

Often people look at the stories only in their historical context, but we should apply them in a practical way to our own context today.

Genesis 22:16-18 says, By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you…have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your SEED as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. In your SEED all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice. According to Dr. Pratt, to whom does the word seed refer in this passage?

to Isaac
to the faithful believers in Israel
to all of Abraham's descendants

Which of the following statements best summarizes Dr. Pratt’s interpretation of Galatians 3:16?

Paul is making a theological point from a grammatical observation; since the word seed is always used in a singular sense to refer to one person, Paul argues that when Moses used this word in Genesis 22:16-18, he was referring directly to Christ.
Paul knows that the word seed is often used in a collective plural sense in the Bible, but he is referring to Genesis 22:16-18, where Moses used the word in a singular sense to refer to Isaac. Furthermore, as chief heir, Isaac was a type, or a figure, of Christ.
Paul is making a somewhat inaccurate grammatical observation, but as an inspired writer, his conclusion is valid. It is not correct to say that seed refers to only one person, but it is valid to say that when Moses uses the word in Genesis 22:16-18, he is referring to Christ.

Dr. Pratt says, Proper modern application of Abraham’s life to our world must always involve at least… _______________.

…an implicit recognition of the role of Christ as Abraham's seed.
…a conscious effort to find areas in which Abraham is a moral example, either in a positive way or in a negative way.
…an attempt to understand the historical context.
