A lot of Evangelicals and particularly a lot of Pentecostals and Charismatics believe the Bible meant what God said and said what God meant when He declared that through the descendants of Jacob, He would bless The world.
The Contrarian Replacementarians from HOLLAND beg to differ--asserting that post Christ, The Cross and espcially since 70AD, all humans are equal in 100% of all respects for all time thereafter; in all contexts and with respect to all considerations.
They are "merely" divided into those who accept Christ 'the normal way'--whatever Hollanders consider that to be--given that no individual CAN possibly make a free will choice in the land of tulips . . . vs . . . those who don't accept Christ--particularly according the the script for the play kept in the Hollander's tidy little script boxes. That is, it's utterly impossible for God to arrange for Jews to accept Christ via one route and others via another route--per the Hollanders' straight-jackets for God.
HOWEVER, there's a pesky little, not so tiny problem with that construction on reality.
The descendants of Jacob FAR, FAR, FAR OUT CLASS EVERY OTHER GENETIC GROUP in their stature and achievements in scholarship, in medicine, science, literature, inventiveness etc. The following is a fair hint or summary of such. It is clear that THE FACTS in our PRESENT END TIMES ERA are quite contrary to the
Contrarian Replacementarian doctrines of Holland--which has to insist per the above logic--that there CAN BE NO SUCH STANDING HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST OF THE WORLD in such matters for the children of Jacob. Clearly, God disagrees.
