Yet it takes less than ten responses for one Dispensational Christian brother to refer to those that hold to Reformed Theology as "anti-semites." That is no way to behave, especially towards other believers.

IMO it is better (and more accurate) to say that Replacement theology is in itself, anti-Semitic, rather than generalizing and saying those who believe it are also. That may or may not be so.

A VERY, VERY FITTING DISTINCTION. THANKS.

Calling it anti-semitic is skating on pretty thin ice too, when several very large denominations hold to it.

Look, God is not finished with Israel. Paul makes that very clear. However, it clear that not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. The seed of Abraham is the church.

I am not saying that "Replacement Theology" is correct, but surely you can see whay someone might believe it.

I just call it Preterism - believing that when Jesus said "soon" that he really meant "soon" - and believing that 70AD fulfilled the whole of Scripture, ending the age of Law and relegating its followers to the status of unbeliever, for indeed they don't believe in Christ. To call that 'Replacement Theology' misses the point, IMHO.
