"Replacement theology" isn't liberal . . . it's the traditional chrstian position, which is why "evangelicals" should seriously reconsider their loyalty to such a religion.
What "evangelicals" refuse to even consider is that the ancient church (and I mean pre-Constantine) was simply unable to provide Bibles to the new converts. The "new testament" hadn't yet been completed and it certainly hadn't been canonized. Plus books/scrolls were so very expensive and hard to reproduce. Most chrstians were converted to the church, not to the Bible, so they approach the "old testament" through the lens of the teaching church, which means they have heard that the Jews are "the decide people" long before they've ever seen an "old testament" in any language.
The Revelation at Sinai simply does not allow for the possibility of Jews converting to a new "fulfillment" religion. Meanwhile "Bible chrstians" who have breathed in the Bible (absent the influence of the teaching church) their whole lives are simply more resistant to this hatred.
The Hebrew Bible just ruins a person . . . maybe the churches should de-canonize it! It would at any rate get rid of that problematic Genesis!
