Do those who profess Christianity believe "replacement theology" is wrong?

Question

I once went to a church that was teaching this and did not know they were teaching this. Once I heard what they were saying it made me ill and I had to leave. The Bible does not say the anywhere the gentiles would replace the Jewish people in the covenant God made with Abraham, so where in the world would they get such an idea? The Bible says that God always honors covenant. What say you, Christian?

Answer 1

Paul in Romans agrees with you. And John in Revelation also agrees. The covenant with Abraham will not be broken. It may not work out in the way we would expect it to, but then again, when has God ever done things exactly the way man wanted. A good example is the coming of the Messiah. How many missed that one.

Answer 2

God's word makes it clear in the last days many false doctrines would emerge, even to the deceiving of the elect.
Check out Ezekiel 38, read the whole Chapter slowly and several times over, and ask the Hoy Ghost to explain those bits you are uncertain about.
Notice it says that these people have been regathered from all the Nations, and that they have lived in unwalled villages-it emphasises this several times.....it can only be the regathered 12 Tribes of Israel, (Revelations 7)
This can only be AFTER Christ has Returned as eternal King over Israel, for the Israelites to be living in such peace and security.
Sadly human nature and all those old jealousies will still be lurking, even though The Saviour is ruling in Jerusalem, and when the adversary is released for the last time, swarms will converge on the Holy City from all around the world.
The final war of 'Gog and Magog' which this chapter is all about, is described in Revelations 20, at the end of the 1000 years of the rule of Zion over the world.
Armageddon, when Christ returns as Israel's deliverer, is at the beginning of the Millenium, but many confuse this war, the great '7 year Tribulation' with the final War of Gog and Magog.
There is 1000 years between them, when the World will be delivered from warfare, poverty, disease etc.

Answer 3

Not replacement exacatly. The New Covenant suggests a more inclusive understanding of the eternal Covenant, in which Jews and Gentiles and even nature are included, as indicated by the sign of the rainbow.

Answer 4

replacement theology is NOT biblical.

rom. 11:11-36 explains the entire issue between Jew & Gentile. i think vs. :25 sums it up pretty good.....

11:25 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."

11:32 explains it again, saying,
"For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all."

God is soooooo awesome!
what a wonderful plan.... He made provision that ALL could be included!!

Answer 5

The gospel is to the Jew first and Jesus came to the lost children of Israel. The covenant of Abraham is will be fulfilled and is to the House of David, but this we must always understand that the covenants that were spoken have always included the Gentile nations.
To Abraham God promised that his children will inherit all things and that they would number as the sands of the sea. Abraham had a son and his name is Ishmael from Hagar. Paul tells the people of Ephesus that when Christ died he made both the Jew and the Gentile one church for he broke down the middle wall of separation. Ephesians chapter 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Answer 6

"Do those who profess Christianity believe "replacement theology" is wrong?" It depends upon whom you ask. The term seems to be an euphemism for SUPERSESSONISM, and it's been hotly debated for centuries. There are numerous on-line references you can review and make your own informed decision.

Answer 7

True. But it does say that we (Christians) are adopted in to the family of Christ. But I believe replacement theology is wrong.

Answer 8

All human beings are God's Children.....God does not box people in with religious labels, or any other, but can see the sincere and loving spirit, within, regardless of religion, sex, culture, nationality, ETC, ETC, ETC.

The focus is on the inside, the soul, not the external labels.

Replacement theology is a bad teaching and should be discarded into the non-recycle bin !!! It denies present day Israel existance as well as its future !!!
