Sorry, but I can't stand this guy. I determined a long time ago that he is not truly of God, no matter the topic. I cringe just looking at him.
The question is whether or not he is speaking the truth. You don't have to like him.
There is only one people of God, not two. The Church does not replace Israel but is a continuation of it. Today, Jews who are saved, are incorporated into the Body of Christ and will do so into the future.
Mr Gideon, did/do believing branches replace unbelieving branches?
Today, we Gentile believers are ' Abraham's seed' Gal 3:29 and the Church is 'the Israel of God' Gal 6:16. The new Israel.
The video is full of error and is promoting Pharisee Entitlement Theology. If you like @Gideon300 we can go over it point by point
What is Pharisee Entitlement Theology?
Replacement theology is something no one really believes, but is used as a straw man by those who want to distract from the partial replacement theology Jesus and Paul taught.
Basically the set of ideas developed by the pharisees that claim Jewish ethnicity entitles Jews to be chosen and possess the land of Israel.
I have many times. It says that disbelieving branches are replaced by believing branches. Do you accept this truth?
Yes. However, it is branches that are replaced, not the tree. Paul warns against disparaging Jews.
"You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either."
Well then we can agree that partial replacement theology is biblical truth.
Yes. My main objection to replacement theology is that it denies that it is God's will for the nation of Israel to exist. I don't how anyone can claim to believe God's word then deny that God brought about the restoration of Israel in 1948.
Let me remind you that there are no unbelieving branches in the tree. Do you agree that the tree is God's nation?
Israel was full of doubt and unbelief, even as God was leading them to the promised land. The nation did not cease to be God's at any time. Israel was, is and will be God's nation until the new heavens and new earth come into being. If you have an issue with that, tell God, not me.
This is a very simple answer no . I've done some gardening in my time and live in a apple orchard county. The pruning and grafting of these trees take place in early spring. I've seen first hand grafting and cutting back but never a replacement of a branch.
When a branch is fully cut off it leaves a scar on a tree. The scar is treated to prevent infection but is never and can never be replaced.
Grafting is done by cutting into a chosen spot and is inserted into a tree as a new branch not to replace the old but to develop a new fruit or more resistant stronger fruit or tree but it relys on the existing tree for its survival.
Grafting in short is done not replacing but improving the tree and its yield of fruit and resistance..
This is how you get different variations of trees and fruit.
This also applies to garden plants and such. You have table fruit canning fruit baking fruit ect.
