S1 EP36 | Problems with the Church Replacing Israel

Out with the old and in with the new? Some would say so, but in this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra explain the errors and dangers in the notion that the New Testament Church somehow replaces God’s covenant with Israel. In this first of a two-part series, they address:

• What Replacement Theology is 
• How to recognize it when you hear it 
• Dangers of Replacement Theology 
• The subtle trouble with Pope Francis’ seemingly positive statement toward the Jewish people several years ago 
• Whether or not Christians can dismiss the Old Testament in sole favor of the New 

Along the way 

During their conversation, they also touch on such relevant sidenotes such as:  

• How word choice matters, and the erroneous message conveyed by such wording as “convert” and “become a Christian” 
• How the Holocaust and anti-Semitism play into the notion of Replacement Theology 
• The Church, Gentiles, Jewish people and Replacement Theology as imagined through the eyes of the devil…yikes! 
• Real-life persecution of Jewish people today that sounds like it’s right out of the history books 
• The relationship between Dual Covenant Theology and Replacement Theology
