1S8-6: How The European Enlightenment Gave Birth To That Satanic ‘Replacement Theology’

So we’re continuing our discussion about Christianity’s battle against the Enlightenment.

It was an intense battle.

The church’s long held doctrines and teachings were under serious attack.

Since they couldn’t provide some kind of “scientific test” to prove God’s existence, they were helpless to defend themselves against some very disturbing questions that assaulted the very foundations of their faith.

And believe it or not, one of those disturbing questions was:

“What in the heck ever happened to Israel?”

Boy oh boy, this was a question that tormented the gentile church to no end.

Because both the “Old” and New Testaments prophesied that not only would Israel be exiled from the land…

But that she would return.

However, there was just one teeny weeny problem.

After Israel was exiled from the Promised Land in 70 A.D., 17 centuries came and went with seemingly zero possibility God’s people would ever return back to their homeland.

Since the enlightenment demanded a scientifically based answer for everything, chalking things up to the “mystery of God” was no longer cool.

So how did Christianity end up answering this question?

Well, this was a real head scratcher for the gentile church leadership.

After maybe smoking some marijuana to help them ponder the dilemma of what happened to Israel…

They came up with the ridiculously wonderful idea (cue up the thick sarcasm here homies) that God had now rejected His original people…

And switched over His blessings and election to the church.

In another words, the church was now the new Israel…

And the new Promised Land was whatever territory the church set foot in.

Thus by twisting the plain meaning of the Scriptures, the Church found a nice, convenient and devious way to defend the prophecy that Israel would return to their Land by saying they were the new Israel.

So there you have the birth of Replacement Theology in a nutshell.

Now there are some interesting takeaways we get from all of this.

FIRST, the most obvious one is that God ALWAYS keeps His Word no matter how impossible things seem.

His Promises may seem a long time coming…

As the days, weeks, months and even years go by, we can lose patience…

Like Abraham and Sarah did when God promised them they would have a son…

But God always comes through…

ALWAYS!

Remember, His timeline line may not always sync with ours.

That’s why it’s important we remain steadfast in our faith no matter how bleak things get.

SECOND, and this is the not so obvious takeaway but I’d say it’s just as important.

Notice how the institutional church made one of the biggest theological errors of all time with their Replacement Theology nonsense and in the process duped millions of believers into thinking God had abandoned Israel when He never did.

My point is if the gentile church could make that big of an error with something so fundamental as the election of Israel, don’t you think they could screw up big time theologically in other areas as well?

Like for example how they worship Yeshua as the Almighty which is unscriptural as all hell.

Or their idea of a pre-incarnate Christ…

You know, the idea that Yeshua was making guest appearances all over the place in the “Old” Testament before he was immaculately conceived in Miriam’s womb.

Anyways, let’s move on to the final takeaway.

THIRD, it’s important to take God’s promises LITERALLY.

I think a lot of us have the tendency to allegorize God’s Promises because they seem too far-fetched and impossible…like the church did by saying they had become the metaphorical Israel.

If God makes a promise in plain and simple language, take it at face value and don’t inject metaphor or allegories into what He said.

Ya feel me?

Alrighty, let’s call this a wrap.
