Just a slight correction:
Replacement Theology as its opponents would describe it is that the future benefits for Israel have now been given to The Church. The proponents of Replacement Theology would say that this the Church has been continuous throughout history with the Jews first and then the Gentiles included later. This has been the traditional view of The Church from the start.
There is no such thing as "Replacement Theology" in the minds of the proponents. We didn't replace anything. We have been "grafted in" to use Paul's phrase.

I might have this backward depending on how you read "opponent" or "proponent". For clarification:
"Replacement Theology" is used by dispensationalist to describe the beliefs of others that future benefits for Israel have now been given to The Church. Others do not believe the Church has "replace" Israel. Rather the Church has been continuous throughout history with the believing Jews first and then the Gentiles grafted in later. This is the view that was held by the Church for over 1900 years.
I look at the term "Replacement Theology" as an attempt to obfuscate the issue.
