Nobody says you need a replacement theology to acknowledge that in the end, believing Jews will merge into the church universal.

Hardly likely, if history is any indication.
Another FReeper said it best, when the subject of enlargement of the synagogue was being discussed - “I’m not in favor of industrial strength religion”.
I’m an American, and as such see myself as a sovereign citizen with rights and responsibilities tracing back to the origins of Natural Law. Natural Law, IMHO, may be seen as human recognition of the inherent order in the universe - order apparent whether one believes it was created, always was, evolved. Whatever.
Whether one lives within that order or not is a central decision.
Whether a universal church would be as oppressive as huge churches were in the past is an interesting question, but given history and the nature of man, I am agin’ it.
Also, IMHO, that order insofar as human behavior is concerned, was best defined by the last six of the Ten Commandments.
