Central to the view of Replacement Theology is; the promises to Israel were fulfilled in Jesus, and the church, as a whole, has permanently replaced Israel in the working out of God’s plan. Unfortunately, much damage has been done to Christian thought; theology, doctrine and practice due to the failure to take into account all of the Biblical data concerning Israel.The two major errors that typify Replacement Theology are: Fundamental and contextual methods of Biblical interpretation being lost to allegorical and spiritualized methods; giving way to the loss of Jewish thought and world view resulting in a theology set in Greek philosophy. Second, Israel’s association with only the curses in Scripture, abolishing any future favor with God, and an assured Kingdom with Messiah. Is this true? Has God changed His mind? If so, what about the church, could we be replaced? How can we be sure? What is our guarantee, our hope?
