WHAT IS REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY? What is Supersessionism???
|
Replacement Theology, or Supersessionism is a misguided systematic approach to the Bible that has not only led millions of millions of Christians astray over the last 2000 years, but it has birthed much evil. Evil of the most horrific proportions on the Jewish people. Supersessionism or Replacement Theology played a major role in the persecution of millions of Jews by the Church throughout the centuries, including the six million in the Holocaust in Germany." What does it teach? Replacement Theology or Supersessionism is a "doctrine" that teaches that Israel has failed God, and it has been replaced by the "Church of Jesus Christ" (Yeshua the Messiah). The Church is now seen as "Spiritual Israel" and "Spiritual Jerusalem or Zion." This false theology claims that all the promises and blessings giving to Israel, now belongs only to the Church. However, Israel, according gets to keep all the curses that Yeshua nailed to the tree (cross). Replacement Theology or Supersessionism was first established in 135 AD, and then became a fully blown doctrine at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. However, the idea was preached as early as the first century CE by some of the so called "Church Fathers." During the last 2000 years, Reformations and Revivals have come and gone, many new denominations have sprung up, but this foul root of "Replacement Theology - Supersessionism," which continues to this very day, still produces antisemitic fruit in Christians all over the world. Yeshua through the prophet Isaiah tells us: "...Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people" --Isaiah 57:14b. Christians need to sever themselves from this hatful lie in the Church and be grafted back into God's true Olive Tree (Israel) as a "Godfearing gentile" if they are from the nations. Being grafted back into God's true Olive Tree, you will find you are deeply rooted in the "unconditional" Covenant's of God. Jews too need to know Jesus as their Messiah, the Messiah of Israel and of the nations as well.
If you have believed this lie of Supersessionism, repent now! Remember, there is only one Name in heaven by which anyone can be saved, and that Name is "Yeshua" which in Hebrew means: "God Saves." In Greel it is Jesus.
If you believe that, you can say Amen! Has The Church Replaced Isarel? - A Theological Evaluation I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know much more about this subject. |
