Didn’t some guy named Martin Luther figure this one out about 500 years ago or thereabouts??
Actually he didn't. And the Nazis were using his words hundreds of years later to justify their atrocities.
And by the way, I'm not Catholic.
It's ironic, but someone like Luther, whose life and world were changed because he took the Bible at its clear literal meaning when it comes to salvation by faith, refused to do the same thing when it comes to the clear words about God's purposes for the nation of Israel.
Replacement theology is very dangerous stuff.
