I have never heard that line of preaching in a main stream Christian church[.]

If you're talking about mainstream Christianity in terms of major denominations, then you're talking about churches of those denominations that hardly, if ever, preach on prophecy. They frequently adopt post-millinealism or amillennialist theology. The pastors of these churches, if they speak on the Second Coming of Christ, frequently state that the Church of Jesus Christ has replaced Israel.

If you are talking mainstream Christianity limited to churches and denominations who follow the Reformed tradition of Christianity, then you are talking of churches, many of which heartily defend Replacement Theology. This is teaching in which the Church has replaced Israel as part of their stance as amillennialists. The amillennialist position is that the church is the New Israel.

Unfortunately, Replacement Theology is just simply full of holes in theology.

Yes, but that can be said of all “theology.”

Theology is in every case invented by men.

It is words that cannot be found in the scriptures, or they would never have had to be written down.

There is Religion/Theology, and there is the plain word of Yehova, and never can the two coexist.
