Replacement Theology Is A False Doctrine

“Replacement Theology” is the false teaching that Old Testament Israel was cut-off because of unbelief and replaced by the Church instead in New Testament era. Although it is 100% true that God cut-off Israel because of unbelief (Romans 11:20, “because of unbelief they were broken off”), God never completely forsook His chosen people. Israel is Israel and the Church is the Church. We are now living in the Times Of The Gentiles (Luke 21:24), which will end at the Rapture.

Then following the Rapture, God will once again deal with Israel during the 7 year Tribulation period. But for now, both Jew and Gentile are God's People ONLY by faith in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. All others are going to Hell forever. No unsaved Jew today can claim to be God's Chosen People. If you believe otherwise, then you need to start studying the Bible for yourself and stop listening to lying Zionist heretics like John Hagee. Here's what I believe.

Although God chose Israel out of all the nations (Amos 3:2) to be a people of Himself, a witness to the nations, the conduit for His revelation, and through whom the Messiah would come, the whole nation of Israel never was “God’s Chosen People.” It was only the faithful remnant (Romans 9:27; 11:5; Isaiah 10:20-22) of that time. That’s why today neither the modern-day nation of Israel, nor all the ethnic Jews worldwide comprise of “God’s Chosen People.”

Who counts as the true Israel (i.e., the children of the promise) was never determined by a blood-line nor a race-line, but by a faith-line (Galatians 3:6-9). In Old Covenant times, only the righteous remnant of Israel were considered “God’s Chosen People” and the true Israel of God. Today, Abraham’s real descendants (“seed”) are believers in Jesus Christ whether they are racially Jews or Gentiles. It’s a level playing field, the ultimate in fulfilled bible prophecy—one common denominator, one road to redemption for all mankind . . . Jesus Christ.

I have been praying and studying much, asking God to teach me the truth concerning the Jews today. I have read many websites that refute Replacement Theology, but none of them provide much detail. They're all just blindly pro-Israel.

The key to understanding Israel today is the Biblical teaching that only SOME OF THE BRANCHES were broken off. Not all of Israel was cut-off. The Bible teaches that SOME of the branches were broken off because of unbelief...

There has always been a remnant, just as there still is today. The remnant are the saved (Christian) Jews, true Israel...

Paul makes clear that he himself was part of the remnant of believing Jews (Romans 11:1). The Bible likens Israel to the time of Elijah in Romans 11:2-4, when Elijah cried out to God, saying that he was the only righteous man left. God told Elijah that he had a remnant of 7,000 righteous men (no doubt that meant there were also about 14,000 women in addition). The Bible teaches that there was a remnant in Paul's time, and you can rest assure that there is also a remnant in 2012, but this remnant today now also includes Gentiles as well as Jews who are born-again in Christ Jesus. Romans 11:5, “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Amen. The election of grace is salvation by grace through faith plus or minus nothing. There is a group of born-again Jews and Gentiles in the world today who are God's chosen people.

Please understand that there are true Jews, and then there are false Jews (Communists, Freemasons, Marxists and Zionists). The apostle Paul says in Romans 9:6, “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.” Clearly, there were false Jews in New Testament times, just as their are false Jews today. Again we read in Revelation 2:9, “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

Who can deny that some Jews are liars and are not truly God's chosen. Some are, but some AREN'T! It's important for every Christian to understand this truth!!! This is why most people are utterly confused today concerning Israel and the Jews. Most people fail to understand that there are two different, separate, groups of Jews. There are the non-believing Communist, Freemasonry, Marxist, Zionist Jews (all synonymous and supportive of each other) and then there are the believing, true, remnant scattered around the world today. It is the unbelieving Communist Jews (Zionists) who control the nation of Israel today. Please understand that there are no promises that any saved Jew today can claim that a saved Gentile cannot ALSO claim. God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11) and is rich unto all who call upon Jesus Christ by faith (Romans 10:12).

In sharp contrast, false prophet John Hagee glamorizes atheist, Communist, Marxist, unbelieving, Zionist Jews as being true Israel. Televangelist John Hagee is so corrupt that he even teaches that Jews don't need to be born-again to get to Heaven. Hagee is the author of at least 10 books, including his latest reprobate book titled, IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL, in which he boldly claims that the Jews never rejected their Messiah because Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah. John Hagee is just plain wrong and a liar who needs to get saved himself before it's too late. John Hagee is ignorant of the Scriptures, for Jesus plainly claimed to be the Messiah in John 4:25-26, “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.” Jesus is the Messiah!!! By the way, Pastor John Hagee lives in a 5,275 square foot Greek revival mansion on a $2.1 million dollar 8,000 acre ranch. Clearly, Hagee has been paid off by Zionist Jews!!!

Jews are no better than anyone else. In fact, the Bible condemns being a respecter of persons. James 2:9, “But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.”

Do you ever wonder why Zionists hate so much? It is because of a massive guilt complex they have because they crucified their Messiah. They know they are under judgment, and they are mad. The Bible teaches that God turned to the Gentiles to make the Jews JEALOUS (Romans 10:19; 11:11), and they certainly are, to the point of killing Gentiles! They cried regarding the murder of Jesus Christ in Matthew 27:25, “His blood be on us, and on our children,” and thus it is. Someone must take the brunt of Zionist rage, and the Arabs are simply handy and worthy by reason of proximity. Sadly, many prejudiced Christians like Jack Chick rally and cheer for Israel, while demonizing the Arabs. James 2:9 says it is a sin to have respect of persons. We ought to love both Jews and Arabs equally.

As seen in our text verse above, God promised to bless the nation's of the earth through Abraham. Israel is that great nation. We learn the reason why God chose Abraham in Genesis 22:17, that is, because Abraham OBEYED God...

Carefully notice that God didn't promise to bless Abraham's descendants merely because they were biologically related to him. But rather, God promised to bless those who bless ABRAHAM, and to curse those who curse ABRAHAM. God never blesses wickedness. We confirm this truth in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy...

Deuteronomy 28:15-68 mentions numerous CURSES which would come upon the Jews who disobeyed God. In fact, the Jews did disobey God, repeatedly, and all these curses did come upon God's people. God finally cut off Israel in 586 BC, giving the Jews into the hands of the Babylonians.

Wicked Hollywood (the movie empire) is owned by the Jews. This is public knowledge, but carefully suppressed for obvious reasons (i.e., the world doesn't like Jews). The Jews are hated for numerous reasons. One reason is because many are extremely arrogant. A second reason is because many are extremely wealthy and control government and the newsmedia. A third reason is because God gave the world His Law through the Jews, that is, God gave the world a guilty conscience (the Bible) through the Jews. And fourthly, and most of all, because the Jews are God's chosen people. So Hollywood hides the names of hundreds of Jewish actors by giving them Gentile names. Search the internet for a list of names.

It is very important that Christians are made aware that elite wealthy Jews have infiltrated America's churches through Freemasonry. Research Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Oral Roberts, Southern Baptists, Seventh-Day Adventists, Roman Catholics and other mainstream religious groups and you'll find they've all been infiltrated (if not founded altogether) by Freemasons. Hundreds-of-thousands of Southern Baptists are Freemasons, which explains why so much heresy and apostasy has overtaken the convention. No Christian should join anything which involves Freemasonry, a demonic cult whose purpose is world government (the Beast system of the Antichrist).

Many believers today have been woefully deceived because of a misunderstanding of Romans 11:29, which says that “the gifts and callings of God are without repentance.” Many people falsely think that this verse means all Jews are God's people, even if they reject Christ and refuse to get saved. Tony Garland, Joseph Farrah, Jerry Falwell, Sean Hannity, John Hagee and many others teach or support Zionism. The truth is that Romans 11:29 refers to God and not man. It is God Who has never repented (changed His mind) about the promises that He made to Abraham and his seed. The word repentance has nothing to do with man. This is the biggest mistake that Bible students make, that is, wrongfully interpreting this Scripture verse.

Again, the apostle Paul says in Romans 9:6, “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.” Clearly, there were false Jews in New Testament times, just as their are false Jews today. Again we read in Revelation 2:9, “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” Who can deny that some Jews are liars and are not truly God's chosen. Some are, but some AREN'T! It's important for every Christian to understand this truth, which is why I am mentioning it twice!!!

The very idea is insane that Christ-rejecting, blaspheming, hateful Zionist Jews (most of whom are Communists, Marxists, Atheists and Freemasons) are God's chosen people. THEY ARE NOT!!! Zionist Jews teach that a Roman Soldier raped Mary in the Talmud, and that's how Jesus was born (as a bastard child). The Jewish Talmud teaches that Jesus is boiling in urine and excrement forever. This is the holy book of Judaism. These are the Jews who foolish Believers have been duped to believe are God's chosen people. May I remind you again that the Bible says, “FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL.” You cannot show me one single verse in the Bible which says that all biological Jews are God's chosen people. In sharp contrast, the Bible does say in Romans...

The Word of God teaches that the Jews are God's people by His sovereign will, and that this calling is without repentance. The word “repentance” here refers to GOD and not to MAN. This is important to understand. The Bible is NOT saying that God chose all Jews, including Christ-rejecting and wicked Jews, even without them repenting to believe the Gospel. This is the false doctrine which many people think from ignorance of the Scriptures. What the verse truly means is that God has never changed His mind concerning His promises to make of Abraham a great nation, and to bless the nations of the earth through Abraham's seed. These prophecies have, and are still, being fulfilled today.

God will also keep His promises to defend the nation of Israel during the Tribulation, and to regather Israel at the Second Coming of Christ to the earth. But the believing Gentiles are now also included. Jesus will literally reign upon the throne of David. Jews and Gentiles alike who are saved are ALL ONE IN CHRIST (Galatians 3:28).

Here are some helpful words from Dr. Harry Ironside, from his sermon titled, “Not Wrath, But Rapture” ...

Again, because this is such an important topic of discussion, here is further helpful commentary by Albert Barnes...

Romans 11:28-29, “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”

Verse 28. As concerning the Gospel. So far as the gospel is concerned; or, in order to promote its extension and spread through the earth.

They are enemies. The word enemies here stands opposed to "beloved;" and as in one respect, to wit, on account of" election," they were still beloved, i.e. beloved by God; so in another respect they were his enemies, i.e. opposed to him, or cast off from him. The enemies of God denote all who are not his true friends, Colossians 1:21; Romans 5:10, comp. Romans 11:8. The word here is applied to the Jews because they had rejected the Messiah; had become opposed to God; and were therefore rejected by him.

For your sakes. For your advantage. Their rejection has become the occasion by which the gospel has been preached to you. Comp. Romans 11:11,19,20.

As touching the election. So far as the purpose of election is concerned. That is, the election of their fathers and of the nation to be the peculiar people of God.

They are beloved. God still regards them with interest; has purposes of mercy towards them; intends still to do them good. This does not mean that he approved of their conduct or character, or that he had for them the same kind of affection which he would have had if they had been obedient. God does not love a sinful character; but he may have still purposes of mercy, and regard men with deep interest on whom he intends yet to bestow mercy.

For the fathers' sakes. Comp. Deuteronomy 10:15. He had chosen their fathers to be his peculiar people. He had made many promises to Abraham respecting his seed, and extended these promises to his remotest posterity. Though salvation is by grace, and not from human merit, yet God has respect to his covenant made with the fathers, and will not forget his promises. It is not on account of any merit of the fathers or of ancient saints, but solely because God had made a covenant with them; and this purpose of election would be manifest to their children in the latest times. As those contemplated in the covenant made with Abraham, God retained for them feelings of peculiar interest; and designed their recovery to himself. It is clear here that the word election does not refer to external privileges; for Paul is not teaching the doctrine that they shall be restored to the external privileges of Jews, but that they shall be truly converted to God. Yet this should not be abused by others to lead them to security in sin. No man has any security of happiness, and of the favour of God, but he who complies with the terms of his mercy. His commands are explicit to repent and believe, nor can there be safety except in entire compliance with the terms on which he is willing to bestow eternal life.

{b} "for the father's sakes" Deuteronomy 10:15

Verse 29. For the gifts. The favours or benefits which God bestows on men. The word (\~carisma\~) properly denotes any benefit which is conferred on another as a mere matter of favour, and not of reward. See Romans 5:15,10; 6:23. Such are all the favours which God bestows on sinners, including pardon, peace, joy, sanctification, and eternal life.

And calling of God. The word calling (\~klhsiv\~) here denotes that act of God by which he extends an invitation to men to come and partake of his favours, whether it be by a personal revelation as to the patriarchs, Or by the promises of the gospel, or by the influences of his Spirit. All such invitations or callings imply a pledge that he will bestow the favour, and will not repent, or turn from it. God never draws or invites sinners to himself without being willing to bestow pardon and eternal life. The word calling here, therefore, has not respect to external privileges, but to that choosing of a sinner, and influencing him to come to God, which is connected with eternal life.

Without repentance. This does not refer to man, but to God. It does not mean that God confers his favours on man without his exercising repentance, but that God does not repent, or change, in his purposes of bestowing his gifts on man. What he promises he will fulfil; what he purposes to do, he will not change from or repent of. As he made promises to the fathers, he will not repent of them, and will not depart from them; they shall all be fulfilled; and thus it was certain that the ancient people of God, though many of them had become rebellious, and had been cast off, should not be forgotten and abandoned. This is a general proposition respecting God, and one repeatedly made of him in the Scriptures. See Numbers 23:19, "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he not said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Ezekiel 24:14; 1 Samuel 15:29; Psalms 89:35,36; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18; James 1:17. It follows from this,

(1.) that all the promises made to the people of God shall be fulfilled.

(2.) That his people need not be discouraged or desponding in times of persecution and trial.

(3.) That none who become his true friends will be forsaken, or cast off. God does not bestow the gift of repentance and faith, of pardon and peace, on men, for a temporary purpose; nor does he capriciously withdraw them, and leave the soul to ruin. When he renews a soul, it is with reference to his own glory; and to withdraw those favours, and leave such a soul once renewed to go down to hell, would be as much a violation of all the principles of his nature as it would be to all the promises of the Scripture.

(4.) For God to forsake such a soul, and leave it to ruin, would imply that he did repent. It would suppose a change of purpose and of feeling. It would be the character of a capricious being, with no settled plan or principles of action; no confidence could be reposed in him, and his government would be unworthy the affections and trust of his intelligent creation.

Thus, even unsaved Jews are still God's people, BUT they have clearly been cut off by God for their unbelief...

The great lesson of this passage is certainly that just as the Jews of the Old Testament became proud (assuming that they alone knew God), so also could the same thing happen to Gentiles in the New Testament era. There is a danger of either looking down on the Jews, or looking up to the Jews. Both are sinful, for God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). Zionist Jews (who are all Freemasons) have infiltrated the churches, teaching people (even naive believers) that God wants them to look up to the Jews and financially support them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If it had not been for the grace of God, Gentiles would never have been grafted into the life of God (salvation) which the Jews enjoyed. The new life which enables Gentiles to produce fruit, grows from the same root that the old stock of Israel grows. Thus, Gentiles should have a humble attitude, not toward the Jews, but toward God who saves men by His love, mercy and grace through faith in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Neither Jews nor Gentiles can claim stake to God. Romans 10:12, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”

The Bible speaks of “the fulness of the Gentiles,” which was a mystery to Old Testament saints, now being revealed in the New Testament...

God doesn't want us to remain ignorant concerning this matter of the Jews and the Gentiles, lest we as Gentiles should look down upon the Jews for the calamity that has come upon them. Lest we should become high-minded that God has turned to us Gentiles with the Gospel...

The natural branches are the Jews of Israel. The following excellent Bible commentary by Albert Barnes explains what is meant by the fall of Israel and the salvation of the Gentiles...
