Re: Who gets the promises?: Jews Church? : "Replacement theology": Other thoughts

Ok maybe these questions can help you clarify for me.

Do all who trust in Jesus get the land forever?

Does the land only go to Jews/Israelies forever who trust in Jesus, as the saved non-Jews get another hunk of land somewhere else?
To 1still_waters, YES, ALL the CHURCH of JESUS, JEWS and GENTILES, get the same inheritance, We all get The whole New Earth and Heaven to boot. RIGHT? Love Hoffco

Ok so the Church gets the land, since the church is composed of Jews and Gentiles who trust Jesus.
Some might be labeling you a replacement theologian about now.

Re: Who gets the promises?: Jews Church? : "Replacement theology": Other thoughts

(Please read all of it, before you simply give your opinion on the definition of replacement theology.)

I've been trying to sort through this issue of who God is working through now, who gets God's promises, and just who is a "replacement theologian", or if that term is even legit.

I want to ask a few questions.

Who is God working through now?
A. People who claim the OT, who claim Abraham as an ancestor, but who reject Jesus.
B People who don't reject Jesus.

Who gets the promises of God?
A. People who claim the OT, who claim Abraham as an ancestor, but who reject Jesus.
B People who don't reject Jesus.

Who makes up the church?
A. People who claim the OT, who claim Abraham as an ancestor, but who reject Jesus.
B People who don't reject Jesus.

I don't know anyone with orthodox doctrine who would say God is working through and revealing himself through rebellious people who are actively and ultimately rejecting Jesus.

I don't know anyone with orthodox doctrine who would say God gives his promises to those who will ultimately reject Jesus.

I don't know anyone with orthodox doctrine who says the church is composed of people who ultimately reject Jesus.

So those who don't reject Jesus ultimately receive the promises of God.
Those who don't reject Jesus are called the church.

I also don't know anyone with orthodox doctrine who would say that physical decedents of Abraham who don't reject Jesus, won't receive God's promises.

So I guess I'm trying to figure out why this label of "replacement theology" gets pinned on folks, seeing most folks believe the only ones who receive God's promises are those who trust in Jesus, and those who trust in Jesus are called the church.

Is there a detail of "replacement theology" I'm missing.

I believe God keeps his promises to the physical descendants of Abraham, but only to the ones who trust in Jesus, which means those are kept to those in the church, since the church is composed of those who trust Jesus.

What am I missing on this one?
OK so were in the church age the time of the Gentiles were it gets confused the difference between dispensationalist and covenant theology especially New Covenant theology.Someone from a Presbyterian teaching is going to see us as one, the church and from a covenant family perspective. The dispensationalist says Gods covenants for Israel must be fulfilled. Especially with regards to the Palestinian covenant the land which is also part of the Mosaic and Abrahamic covenant. When you posed your questions you did it with a today prospective but Paul warns us not to get to full of ourselves as we are only grafted in. In Rev we read about the judgments were God wipes out two thirds of the Jews leaving his elect they will be the ones to inherit the promise as well as any from the Old Testament that believed by faith. Ive been were your at now so do we as gentiles receive some of the same promises yes but not all we also benefit from them.

To stonethrower, I say, you are RIGHT on ,MAN, I am with you 100% so far, Love Hoffco. I think 1still_waters is trying, his hardest, to trip us up with an obvious question ,which any Bible student should answer yes to. God always keeps His promises. Love Hoffco

Yes but its more than just the land its a decendant of david ruling on the throne which Jesus fullfills during the millennium.

They only get the land for 1000 years with Jesus as ruler for 1000 years?

I thought the promise was that they'd get the land forever with Jesus as king.

In eternity, who gets the land?

Re: Who gets the promises?: Jews Church? : "Replacement theology": Other thoughts

Ok maybe these questions can help you clarify for me.

Do all who trust in Jesus get the land forever?
The national, physical aspects of the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12:1-3,7; Genesis 13:14-18; Genesis 15:18-21) will yet be fulfilled to the nation Israel (Jeremiah 30:1-24). The land promises do not belong to the Church.

Does the land only go to Jews/Israelies forever who trust in Jesus, as the saved non-Jews get another hunk of land somewhere else?
The Church does not inherit any "land" (saved Jews and Gentiles). Romans 11:25-27 pretty much sums up what will occur for the nation of Israel after the 7 year tribulation period. There will be a national repentance and Israel will recognize and accept their Messiah, Jesus Christ:

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Re: Who gets the promises?: Jews Church? : "Replacement theology": Other thoughts

I did read all of it first of all...HAH!

I think replacement theology is simply boiled down to this....

1. That the Jews were cast off and the GENTILE church replaced Israel.

A few facts that need to be remembered....

1. It began with Israel.
2. Israel is called the assembly (church) of the firstborn in the wilderness.
3. Jesus and the disciples were sent first to Israel and they rejected
4. Gentiles and gentile churches do not supersede Israel nor do they take Israel's place
5. Gentile believers and JEWISH believers are reckoned under the SAME banner of the FAITH of ABRAHAM and the TWO have become ONE as BOTH have equal access by faith and JESUS unto the Heavenly Father.
6. Yes it is true that the Lord is using "Gentile" churches as the median by which he spreads his truth in this age

But lest we forget.......there is NEITHER JEW NOR GENTILE In Christ........

Ok the part I bolded seems like a very good distinction. Thanks for drawing that.
If someone is truly teaching Israel/Jews are forgotten by God, and now the only thing that matters is a GENTILE church, yeah that's an issue. The thing is, I haven't heard anyone ever teach that God has totally written of Jews/Israel in favor of gentiles.

I think people interpret, "Only saved people get the promises." as replacement theology.
They hear things being said that aren't being said.

Re: Who gets the promises?: Jews Church? : "Replacement theology": Other thoughts

So you're saying saved Gentiles will not inherit the land God promised?
Yes, we dont get the land with the borders that were promised to the twelve tribes during the millennial kingdom and the animal scrafices will resume. Then we all get blened together in the New Jersulem.
So the blessings from theAbrahamic covennant both Jews and the church recieve. But the land goes to Abram and Israel as well as the seed promise.
The Mosaic is only for Israel and has been fullfiled in Christ.
The Davidic 2nd Samuel 7 gets fullfilled in the M kingdom

Do Jews who reject Jesus get any land at all in the 1000 years or in eternity?

That's the way it stacks up for me also.

So I don't see anything you are missing.

But I do see what a lot of others are missing.
