My point is that the promise in Proverbs only applies to the parents who train their children right. It says they train them up in the way they SHOULD go.

My point is that the promise in Proverbs only applies to the parents who train their children right. It says they train them up in the way they SHOULD go.
“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me -- to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;”
“And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you.
2Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.”
Joshua 1:2 KJV
[2] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
These promises have to do with being in and possessing the promised land. Abraham did live in the promised land, he just didn’t own it. Daniel couldn’t live there because he was taken into captivity because the Israelites sinned against God, and God allowed them to be taken out of the promised land. However, If a man is grafted into Israel shouldn’t he move his family to the promised land, as God commanded his people? Would that not be the place to raise up one’s children in the way they should go?
Hebrews 11
32¶And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,
33who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
34quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.
35Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,
36and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
37they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
38of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth;
39¶and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
40God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
Hebrews 4
8¶for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;
9there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,
10for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.
11¶May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,
12for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;
13and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes -- with whom is our reckoning.

What translation are you quoting from? What thought are you wanting us to see from this passage?
Quoting from Youngs Literal and pointing out that we will all be gathered unto the land and enter into His rest. Hebrews 11 points out that they haven't received the promise yet. It then tells us to be diligent to do so. I believe these scriptures to be the millennium. We will get to be in the land and under the authority of the Messiah ruling with the rod of iron, we must be diligent to enter that rest.
But the end result is still the same. I won't argue further though.
“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me -- to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;”
If one is supposed to practice Torah “in the midst of the land”, is that only in the millennium?
That’s why I wear them... gotta keep those ladies guessing
But that doesn’t explain the silk panties.
C’mon maaan, why you gotta be that way?... I like how they feel, ok?! Gees
There are both commands and promises specific to the Land, however being out of the Land, particularly kick out of the Land, is almost uniformly a curse for disobedience. And, multiple times and places, obedience is required to enter/return to the Land. The principle is the same spiritually. Salvation is meaningless if we continue in rebellion.
A short is almost a meme, right?
I laugh at this one EVERY TIME!
