Replacement Theology is Man’s Idea Not God’s

Replacement theology, Amillennialism, and covenant theology are cut from the same cloth. These are man’s ideas, not from God

 

“Replacement Theology” is the idea that the Church is now Israel, or Israel is the Church.

Most mainline Protestant denominations follow this idea. An idea cooked up by men (the so-called Church fathers) who could not reconcile how God could continue to keep His promises to His chosen people in light of the nation of Israel’s consistent rebellion that ultimately led to the crucifixion of their own promised Messiah.

 

Those who are of this belief system are incapable of taking God at His word, and instead, they come up with their own foolish and erroneous ideas, twisting Scripture to fit their theology.

 

Using truth to deceive—by that, I mean they use Bible passages but apply a fantasy method of interpretation. A method of interpretation that removes God’s chosen people from prophecy. To the point where they twist a handful of passages and turn God into a liar.

 

Grossly twisting Bible verses and entire chapters for that matter, like Romans Chapters 9, 10, 11, Matthew 12:48–50, Galatians 3:29, Matthew 3:9, and Romans 2:28–29, as examples. Not using the whole counsel of God, they completely ignore and/or usurp hundreds of promises God made to Israel. Horrors!

 

You will not find one verse anywhere in Scripture that proponents of replacement theology use to support their belief that God is declaring that “I was wrong; I messed up by choosing one person, Abraham. To start a new race of people, the Jewish people, to be My possession above all other people, to be the apple of my eye, to whom I promised land, to whom I alone promised a King and a kingdom, and from whom (Abraham) and through whom (through Abraham would come the King of Israel, Jesus Christ) all the families of the planet would be blessed. I now instead go back on the hundreds of promises I made to Israel; I go back on all the covenants I made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David; I take back the promise of the King and the kingdom; and I now give everything I promised Israel—everything I promised the Jewish people—to you Gentiles.

 

God would never say that. It would make Him unfaithful and a liar

 

THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE ANYWHERE WHERE GOD LIES

THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE ANYWHERE WHERE GOD CHANGES HIS PROMISES

THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE RECORD OF GOD CONTRADICTING HIMSELF

THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE RECORDING OF GOD NOT REALLY MEANING WHAT HE SAYS.

There is no Bible passage that mankind can twist to make God a liar.

When God says, “I will,” that’s a promise, and I put my faith in the God of glory that He will accomplish all that He promised. To both Israel and the Gentiles.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

Who is the author writing too?

Who is the audience? Yes, all Scripture is for us but not all of Scripture is directed to us our salvation and doctrine (how to live our daily lives). To say all of Scripture is, is erroneous interpretation.

This is necessary to identify the time and historical context.

Z

What were the circumstances when it was written? (what was going on)

Z

What happen before and after the particular Book or Passage you’re reading?

Z

What is the HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE VERSE?

Where does the Bible verse fit in Biblical history. Use the answers from the list of these questions to identify the “historical context”.

Utilize the full counsel of God to illuminate the passage

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

 

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
