  By the way many things in the bible are conditional... blessings are conditional,
  Yahweh's grace is conditional, your salvation is conditional...

  There is something unconditional in the bible .. the Abrahamic Covenant!
  
  The catch is .. it covers Jews and Christians and though for Christians it is conditional, for Jews it is not.
  
  PS: Christians got those promises "by proxy".

  not really.
  
  These conditions were not spelled out in the Abrahamic Covenant. God went through the ceremony alone.

  one problem for us, we are heirs to the abrahamic covenant through faith. Faith is a condition.
