Romans 9:8

First Nations Version

This means it is not the children physically descended from Father of Many Nations (Abraham) who are counted as children of the Great Spirit, but only the ones who are born because of Creator’s promise. He Made Us Laugh (Isaac) was born because of a promise the Great Spirit made to Father of Many Nations (Abraham).
