.....”That error is called “Replacement Theology”, the false teaching that the church of Jesus Christ is the new Israel of God, and that other than coming into the church as individuals, God has no ultimate plan for the physical children of Israel”......

I had a dear God-mother who believed that the church is the “New” Israel, it was the only bone of contention we had regarding the faith. She was a woman of God’s Word so we would really go at it.

She would always come to the place where her silence spoke volumes as she digested whatever the last scripture reference and question I might raise........and soon after she wouldn’t discuss it further.

I loved her greatly but we surely did disagree on that note.

I understand the arguments but they always seem to take on the same twisting and churning, and jumping thru hoops of scripture in order to make them fit what they want to believe, rather than believe what the scripture says. Often reminds me of catholic debates.
