pinged you guys to #389, gives the Scriptural basis for the Church as Israel.
Now that is pure baloney!
Unfortunately, biblical ignorance begets inaccurate interpretation which in turn begets false doctrine. The result is deception....and deception is not of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no way at all that Christians have "replaced" Israel or you're going to have ignore and completely discount the vast promises God has made to Israel which were NOT conditional. Not to mention pretty much the entire book of Revelations, Isaiah, Romans, Hebrews and others.
People who adhere to "replacement theology" time and again go down a very slippery slope ...and on their way twist and squirm themselves into a pretzel attempting to make the scriptures "fit" their theology. In doing so they insult God beyond measure. ......
...Because God tells us His covenant... that gives Israelthe physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobthe land of promise will last FOREVER: "He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. ...He remembers HIS COVENANT FOREVER, the word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant which He made with Abraham, and HIS OATH to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob for a STATUTE, to Israel as an EVERLASTING COVENANT, saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance" (Ps. 105:711). God could not have made Himself any clearer.
