The Hebrew word for seed is zera`. It is a collective singular, and refers not to a single human descendant but to any number of descendants collectively. So Paul either 1)had no idea what he was talking about or 2)was pulling a fast one. My guess is the latter.

Of course, trying to get this point across to people who think Genesis is a chrstian text is, to put it mildly, very difficult.

Only 1or2? Fallacy of the undistributed middle. The Body of Christ comes to mind from Paul’s Holy Spirit inspired teaching.
