There is no "replacement" theology. There is but one flock, one shepherd, one church....Whether Christ comes today or in 10,000 years, Christians have a job to do that he gave to them. No amount of guessing will ever reveal it

That's how I read the Bible, too.

"Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
This he said, signifying what death he should die." -- John 12:31-33

Satan prowled the earth in great power after Adam and before Christ. Once Christ appeared to all men, He proclaimed His victory over Satan and the advent of His kingdom.

"But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." -- Matthew 12:28

I think Christians miss a great opportunity for confidence and strength by not believing Christ has put Satan on the defensive and the world is being transformed for the better as we preach the Gospel...

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." -- Isaiah 55:11

"So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." -- Acts 19:20

Wherever God's people preach salvation and obediance to Jesus Christ, God's law, the kingdom of God advances on earth.

"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." -- Habakkuk 2:14

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." -- Revelation 12:10

Sorry, Dear Heart . . .

However . . .

The folks on your side have

PERSISTENTLY, REDUNDANTLY, FIERCELY, STRIDENTLY . . . often enough haughtily etc.

INSISTED

that Blood descendents of ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB

are no longer of any significant, special or other kind of unique priority to God Almighty

and that IF He is to attend to them at all, it must be only and totally because they have become individual Christians believing in Christ.

Further, that

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL unfulfilled Biblical prophecies referring to ISRAEL

now automatically [rather preposterously and incorrectly]

refers totally and only to the Christian church.

THAT IS

REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY.

Your side believes it and defends it tooth and toenail.

As long as they do, I will continue to use the term.

When they repent, and confess that Scripture is clear that Blood Israel still has many promises of God evident in the prophecies referring exclusively TO THEM [vs the Church],

THEN I will consider laying the term aside.

Contortionist slipperiness with words does not remove the REPLACEMENTARIAN FACTS NOR LABEL in my construction on reality as I observe what the REPLACEMENTARIANS SAY.

Wanting your cake and flushing it too and pretending both are the same thing doesn’t cut it with me.
