No, God's covenant with the Jewish people is forever. Replacement theology is a catholic thing, it is antisemitism and satanic, and extremely arrogant. Read the book of Zechariah ch. 8 especially. Read Ezekiel ch's 37 & 38
Jesus is a JEW, Jesus is the KING of the JEWS. If Jesus is your king, what does that make you?
What do you think the nation of Israel is all about anyway?
Wake up, God is moving powerfully in the earth and most people are blinded by the evil one, are you?
The word Israelite is synonomous.

The first thing is to understand that it never was all of Israel that were true believers anyway. The Old Testament makes this clear. Isaiah 1:9
Unless the LORD of hosts Had left to us a very small remnant, We would have become like Sodom, We would have been made like Gomorrah.
Also in the new--Romans 9:6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham;
Note that many are not even considered Abraham's "children"
Jesus says that many are not of God-- John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do
Now what is the change that took place when Jesus came and the Jews rejected Him? Note the parable Jesus taught them and His explanation of it: Matthew 21:43
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
Now what Paul is (and has been teaching) in Romans is that 1-The true believers were for a time mostly out of the Jewish Nation but it was only a remnant of them. 2-Now God will take HIs people out of every Nation. 3-The promise to Abraham was always that He would be a blessing to EVERY nation. 4-That although God had rejected them as a Nation, He would still call His Elect even from among the Jews (although History shows this to be a very few), as even at that time there were Jewish converts.5-That every person who truly is united to Christ by faith are the true and only Jews spiritually.
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

There has always been only one chosen people. They are those who are found in the seed promised to Abraham, which is singular, who is Christ Jesus. Those who believe in him are the chosen people.
Before Jesus went to the cross if a person was a believer, meaning if they were chosen of God, they were either Jewish, or they became a Jew. Since the Lamb was slain on the cross, if a person is a believer they follow Jesus Christ.

Yes. God's "chosen" people are those who choose to follow him and when the incarnation happened those who knew about God were given a choice to follow God in the new covanant or to reject it. The old forshadowed the new and was finsihed on the cross. In the first covenent Abraham led his people to the Promised land and Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery...in the new it is Christ who leads us from the slavery of sin and death to the promised land of the Kingdom of heaven. That is why some Christians accept replacemnt theology God's plan calls for the salvation of all through Christ. Those who accepted Christ repalced those who rejected Christ as the people who Choose God.

No. It teaches quite the opposite.
"Replacement theology" is heresy and God hates it. Gentiles are grafted in and joined with, not replacing, the Jewish people. The Jewish people remain God's chosen people.

Kind of, but not exactly. The conditions for eternal life are the same as always. Take YHVHs name, and follow His rules. He provides His wisdom, and His strength (through grace) so you can do what is pleasing in His eyes. Sounds like a good deal to me, but most folks refuse to accept it.
