You must be willing to believe all that Yeshua says and not just what you pick and choose to believe. Yeshua says, I am the resurrection and the life: the one that is faithfully trusting into me, though dying, yet shall live: and [after dying off] whosoever lives and is faithfully trusting into me shall not die, [going] into the age. Believe you this or not? Because, if not, then perhaps you are dead. However, concerning your carcass, you cannot accomplish these things after your carcass is dead. You do therefore greatly err as one of your quotes states; for Elohim says through the Malak at the burning bush that He is Elohey Abraham, therefore, at that time already, Abraham is living. The physical death of the body is not even recognized in the New Testament writings, in fact, this mindset is a commandment if you desire to be a disciple of Yeshua. Pay better attention to what you read, and be careful how you hear what you hear, (Luke 8:18), for even the Pharisees, Sadducees, Chief Priests, and Scribes, often mishear what Yeshua says. The following is a perfect example, there is a critical difference even just between "seeing death" and "tasting death" as shown in the following passage:
John 8:51-53 ASV
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.
52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?
You see what I mean? He says, "If a man keep my word, he shall never
see death", but they imagine in the machinations of their vain imaginations that he said "never
taste of death" because they were carnal minded fleshmonger natural men. They even blaspheme and accuse him of having a demon after not properly hearing what he actually said, (just as seems to happen quite often around this forum). And herein is the commandment I mentioned above right here in this passage; and this is the commandment in the above passage in case you do not see or hear it: STOP SEEING DEATH in everything you read and hear because it is clouding your judgment and you are not keeping the word of the Master as he states in the above passage. If anyone keeps his word the same will not see death. And as for what I said being nonsensical it most likely sounds that way to you because you might indeed be dead and supernal things always sound nonsensical to dead men and fleshmongers, (there sure a lot of them around here; the zombie apocalypse is upon us!).
I have an idea. Instead of placing words and arguments for me, use questions. Questioning is a time-honored method as demonstrated in the gospels. But here's the short form of answer for you - your interpretation seems to forget the resurrection. For example,
John 8:51-52 KJV
(51) Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
(52) Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
You correctly noted that it was the detractors that changed his words for him to "never taste of death" which is incorrect. Abraham has tasted of death. I think you might be making a different mistake of assuming that Abraham is not dead - and as we have seen already, Jesus does acknowledge Abraham is dead, and his proof of the resurrection relied on that assumption.
So what does he mean when he says that a man shall never see death?
Revelation 20:6 KJV
(6) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
and again,
John 11:24-26 KJV
(24) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
(25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
(26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Jesus does not contradict Martha as being mistaken but rather adds to her words. The resurrection of the dead is a very real literal event, and common sense should demand that one must first die before he can be raised again.
1 Corinthians 15:35-36 KJV
(35) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
(36) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Paul goes on to explain that this quickening to life is in the same fashion as demonstrated by Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:44-45 KJV
(44) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
(45) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
When shall this occur? If one believes the whole bible (as you challenged) it has not happened yet, but it will be ushered in all at once for everyone with the sound of a trumpet. That automatically excludes Abraham being "resurrected" before he died some thousands of years ago.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54 KJV
(51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
If you think I am mistaken, or have forgotten something important, please illustrate this in the form of a question, where my answer would reveal the flaw in my thinking. It's a very effective tactic when used correctly, but it also has an element of fairness.
