Abraham's Seed (& The Law was like a Booster Rocket)

[OBW]

I think that we should not over-apply Paul's reference to "seed" v "seeds" in Galatians. It was relevant to the point he was making. But I believe that you cannot make that the only meaning. The account in Genesis 12 refers to giving the land to Abraham's "seed." And Genesis 13 refers to the "seed" being as the dust of the earth — effectively beyond numbering, therefore a plurality.

I am not denying Paul the prophetic understanding of the unique seed that would bring potentially more than Jews into the fold as part of Abraham's seed. Just noting that it is not simply a singular item in all cases unless it is made plural by the adding of an "s" at the end.

But while we are ultimately part of that seed because of Christ, I am not sure that it actually equates us with Christ. Participants in Christ maybe. Even partakers of the divine nature (but not becoming god/God). But not equal to Christ.

It might make us feel good to think that. But is it of substance that helps us to live the life we are called to live? Having a point over which we shout "hallelujah" is less meaningful than one that moves us toward living the Christian life.

Just looking for views that drive us toward godliness in life and not just propositions to get "enjoyment" over.
