Replacement Theology: Its Root, Fruit, and Consequences for Jewish People and the Nation of Israel - Paperback

by Mike Spaulding (Author)

What Replacement Theology as a system embraces is metaphysical personalism - a belief that Old Testament realities/promises are transformed/absorbed/dissolved in Christ. By doing this, Replacement Theology believes it is justified in discarding/eliminating God's covenant promises to Israel and co-opting them to the church. This is a serious error. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between Replacement Theology/Supersessionism and antisemitism. Replacement Theology adherents can no longer hide from this conclusion. Nor should we allow them to do so. Any theology that leads to hating people, be they Jewish or otherwise, is a theology not worthy of our consideration and must be opposed.

We are at a pivotal point in history. How the church approaches Israel today will determine the impact it has on the earth in our day and until the return of Jesus. Israel remains an inescapable stumbling block for many Christians. This should not be the case. The church should be Israel's biggest advocate. That it is not is a sad commentary. God's eternal plan for Israel is intertwined with His plan for all the nations. Christians above all people should make it a pursuit to understand the biblical story of Israel and God's plan for them in the future. Buckle up friends, the ride is going to be bumpy for some.
