Af_vet, I have been reading some our your past threads in an attempt to understand why you hate traditional Christianity so much. At first I thought you worked for the Roman Catholic Church, considering your vicious hatred of Martin Luther, and your strong defense of Catholicism. But, then, you have also demonstrated a hatred for Calvin. But that didn’t click since Calvin seemed to mostly hate the Roman Catholic Church, in that most or all of his commentaries, no matter how unrelated, seem to have a papal comment, or two. Then I thought you were a paid member of Foxman’s anti-Christian gang; you know, the fellow who has such a hatred for Christianity that his life’s work has been to destroy it, along with the morals of our society. But now, I see that you hate any Christian that doesn’t support dual-covenant theology. Considering your knowledge of the New Testament, I know you know that what I have written to you is biblical. Yet, over and over again, you have shown a strong determination to bully me into censoring the parts of the scripture that you do not like. I also noticed you doing that to other Freepers. Therefore, my only conclusion is you are a Pharisaic Jew pretending to be a Christian, and like any good Pharisee, you play the race card at every opportunity. The problem this time is, I cannot be anti-semitic. Let’s just say, off the biblical record, it is in my blood. Get a life, and leave Christians alone. Philip

After I had written:
af_vet_1981 to PhilipFreneau 1. Were 6 million Jews, descended physically from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob murdered in the Holocaust by wicked hands ? 2. Does your church support disinvestment from the nation of Israel regathered in the land of Israel, and whose government is currently headed by a Jew, Benjamin Netanyahu ? 3. When you get a blood transfusion, do/will you say your blood type is the same as everyone else ? 4. Do you use the men's or women's facilities, whichever has the shorter line ? 5. Do you tell your master/supervisor that you don't take orders/commands ? Yeah, try that in any branch of the Armed Forces. We live in a physical dimension, with the promise of a spiritual inheritance which is not less real. Yet the physical still remains, with its divisions and, we hope, trust, and believe by faith, its promises. Those promises belong to Israel, to the Jews, and include the Gentiles. The problem with your doctrine is it teaches you that everything has been fulfilled and completed. Replacement theology and preterism are its fruit, not to mention a lot of Jews martyred for being Jews. It is why the muslimin hate Israel; the very existence of a physical, real nation of Israel in our generation invalidates their replacement theology where they (believe they) have replaced Israel, and so it must be removed from the face of the earth. Dare I write the crusader phrase ? And so the Reformed Presbyterian schismatics/rebels will not lift a finger to help Israel as they too believe the current nation of Jews returned to the Land of Israel (do you even still call it that today ?) are illegitimate. Replacement theology and Preterism in a nutshell

    I'll assume your answers, based on you twice refusing to provide them:
  1. Were 6 million Jews, descended physically from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob murdered in the Holocaust by wicked hands ? => Yes
  2. Does your church support disinvestment from the nation of Israel regathered in the land of Israel, and whose government is currently headed by a Jew, Benjamin Netanyahu ? => Yes
  3. When you get a blood transfusion, do/will you say your blood type is the same as everyone else ? => No, you know there is a difference and it would be improper to act as if there were not.
  4. Do you use the men's or women's facilities, whichever has the shorter line ? => No, you know there is a difference and it would be improper to act as if there were not.
  5. Do you tell your master/supervisor that you don't take orders/commands ? No, you know there is a difference and it would be improper to act as if there were not.

I don't think I should respond to your personal attack to correct your false allegations. I forgive you. I would say I'm on the fence as to whether to view Replacement Theology/Preterism as an outright cult or heresy as it does not deny the basics. It does seem a poisonous fruit. It is notable that the Catholic Church, the Fundamentalists, and most Evangelicals deny it. And we have this:
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

and this:

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

I'm not directing this personally at you, and I wish both you and your extended family peace rather than strife, but just to address your comment "The problem this time is, I cannot be anti-semitic. Let’s just say, off the biblical record, it is in my blood. " lest others think that just because someone has some descent from the Jewish people they cannot do horrible things to other Jews in an antisemitic systematic way. Self-hating Jew is a term used to allege that a Jewish person holds antisemitic beliefs or engages in antisemitic actions. ... Wasserstein goes on to say that self-hating Jews, "afflicted by some form of anti-Semitism were not so much haters of themselves as haters of 'other' Jews."
