My own curiosity about the story of the promised land is,

is the person who promised some people's land a real estate agent who is in charge of the land on earth?

Of all the unoccupied land back then, why promising people the land that had already been occupied by others?

Matthew 25:29

Nobody is promised anything until you are ready to take it

That's forceful ownership based on the chapter above...

Exactly, it has always been about conquest.
You just have to give it a historic painting

God allowed Adam's descendants to fill the earth before coming out to prove He is the Creator of all things.

First of all He allowed Israelites to be enslaved in Egypt (the then world most powerful nation) for 400 years before sending two feeble octogenarians to go and deliver millions of people out of slavery in Egypt.

So by promising His worshipers a land already occupied the inhabitants of Canaan already knew that this God is unique as in different from all others Gods they knew because He journeyed down to Egypt and without a military force delivered millions of people from slavery and more to that He drowned Egyptian's strongest army in the red sea.

Surely that's enough global warning to all the inhabitants of planet earth that this particular God is the Almighty.

That's His motive not real estate agent!

Anyone could have claimed God promised them something don't you think? The sincere question is, Did God actually promise them anything or they are just fabricating things?

The book says they were slaves in Egypt and they were taken out of Egypt without fighting so what do you think of that?

Who wrote the book? Could the person have written something against his own people?

This is the major reason why i so much believe that book because the writers penned down a lot against their own people!

Okay let's take this thread as a start , did the writer write against his people by claiming they were promised one land which in reality it was fabricated?

Try to keep your preconceived thoughts away from the discussion and focus on REALITY. It's the same book that we are reading so if you believe that they took over a land why do you ignore the parts that says their God promised them the land?

This thread is about questioning the promised land in question. Anyone could have claimed that

Questioning what's written you mean?

It's because you don't know what others claimed in their stories that's why you're complaining about what the God of Israel promised His own people.

Look i want you to know that Gods in all places promised their worshipers a lot of things but only the God of Abraham fulfilled His promises.

Do you think the Canaanites never heard anything from their own Gods before they stood against the Israelites?

Ọmọ Gods in different locations promised their worshipers but it's due to failure to fulfill their promises that makes the God of Abraham unique! Isaiah 43:10
