The Error of Supersessionism

jeremiah1five

Well-known member
Supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a Gentile Christian theological doctrine which describes the theological conviction that the Gentile Christian Church has superseded the nation of Israel assuming their role as God's covenanted people, thus asserting that the New Covenant through Jesus Christ has superseded or replaced the Mosaic covenant exclusive to Jews. Supersessionist theology also holds that the universal Gentile Christian Church has succeeded ancient Israel as God's true Israel and that Gentile Christians have succeeded the ancient Israelites as the people of God.

For most of Gentile Christian history, supersessionism has been the mainstream interpretation of the New Testament of all three major historical traditions within Christianity – Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant. The text most often evident in favor of the supersessionist view is Hebrews 8:13: "In speaking of 'a new covenant' (Jer. 31.31–32) he has made the first one obsolete."

Paul's views on the Jews are complex, but he is generally regarded as the first person to make the claim that by not accepting claims of Jesus's divinity, Jews disqualified themselves from salvation. Paul himself was born a Jew, but after a conversion experience he came to accept Jesus's divinity later in his life.

Modern Protestants hold to a range of positions on supersessionism and the relationship between the Gentile Church and the Jewish people. These differences arise from dissimilar literal versus figurative approaches to understanding the relationships between the covenants of the Bible, particularly the relationship between the covenants of the Old Testament and the New Covenant.

After the establishment of the political state of Israel in the wake of the Holocaust, mainstream Christian theologians and denominations began to re-examine supersessionism and some communities came to outright reject the doctrine. The prominent Protestant alternatives to supersessionism are covenant theology, New Covenant theology, classical dispensationalism, progressive dispensationalism and covenant premillennialism. Another alternative, dual-covenant theology, contrasts with supersessionism by holding that the Mosaic covenant remains valid for Talmudic Jews.

Extensive discussion is found in Christian views on the Old Covenant and in the respective articles for each of these viewpoints: for example, there is a section within dispensationalism detailing that perspective's concept of Israel. Differing approaches influence how the land promise in Genesis 12, 15 and 17 is understood, whether it is interpreted literally or figuratively, both with regard to the land and the identity of people who inherit it.
 
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

43 Therefore say I unto you,
\ The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

That's great.
Now, exegete.
Who are the "builders."
Identify who is the "kingdom of God."
Identify "nation."
What is the understanding of verse 44?
Who is Jesus directing His words to?

And one question: Does God keep His Promises?

You're not answering my questions.
Are you antisemite which is antigod?
You can't love Christ and hate or be indifferent to the people He is born from.

Ephesians 2:11–22 (ESV) — 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.


Christ has but one new man consisting of Jew and gentile he will not recreate the dividing wall of hostility.

Israel's future if it is to had (I believe it will) will be as part of the church
 
Apostate Israel under the Covenant curses of Deut 28-33. God keeps His promise to curse them
Yes and no you have to define what you mean. As a national entity they lost their nation God has promised so much to them in Duet 28 to make them the greatest nation upon the earth, but such doesn't mean individually God isn't working with each one for them to receive the grace of salvation ;through the gospel.
 
Ephesians 2:11–22 (ESV) — 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
Saul is writing to Jewish Christians at Ephesus (he didn't found this church. Like all the other Jewish Churches throughout Asai Minor they were founded by other Jewish Christians), and when Saul mentions "Gentiles" he is speaking about circumcised Gentile proselytes and uncircumcised God-Fearers. Since they were obedient to the Torah and allied with Israel and Judah they were the first Gentiles to receive testimony of Israel's Messiah and were first to become born-again. By being proselyte they were not Jews nor were they in the Abrahamic Covenant as the Abrahamic Covenant was between God and Abraham and his seed and Gentiles are not his seed.

Gentiles hated the Jews. Jews hated the Gentiles for many reasons, one is they were uncircumcised and unclean under the Law, another is Gentiles occupied their land.
There was no friendship between the two peoples unless the Gentiles was a proselyte and God-Fearer - like Cornelius, or the Roman centurion.
Gentiles wanted nothing to do with the Jews and Jews wanted nothing to do with Gentiles. Unless they were circumcised, devoted, committed and practiced obedience to the Torah. They raised their families in the Torah. Unless the context is describing uncircumcised Gentiles who were neither proselyte or God-Fearers, then the writer is addressing or speaking about proselytes and/or God-Fearers.
The Church Christ promised to build was populated by Jews as per covenant and prophecy.
And until the destruction of the Jewish Temple BY GENTILES it was a Jewish Church with thousands of Jews following their Messiah. I'm surprised you don't know this.
Israel's future if it is to had (I believe it will) will be as part of the church
The true, original Church was founded in the desert at the time of the Tabernacle. They were called the/a "Great Congregation." They were natural Olive tree Israel. At Pentecost 3000 Jews were born again and became spiritual Israel through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Why don't you know this? It's historical and Biblical.

Paul is writing to Hellenized Greek speaking Jews and Gentiles who converted to Christianity. The Hellenized Greek speaking Jews already possessed the Greek OT (LXX) to properly assess what Paul was teaching them through his Epistles. That's why Paul's Epistles were written in Greek. I'm not surprised that you continue to ignore these historical facts.

Futhermore, the covenant that they all came under was the New Covenant that Jesus established at his Last Supper. See Luke 22:19-20.

19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying,
This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.

I'm not surprised that you continue to ignore this Covenantal Biblical fact also. Your ethnic bias is blazingly obvious, not to mention your euphoric lust for ethnic cleansing.

Why do you make assumption?

Why do you think that changes anything?

What was is past

A Christian is not to hate anybody regardless of what people they're from. If you have God in you you have what God is......LOVE.
From your comment I see you don't know the Biblical doctrine on love.
Not only does God teach His people about love, but God also instructs His people WHO to love.
You can either obey God's instruction and command or you can go ahead and disobey Him and commit idolatry.
That's the only two choices there are.
So, are you an obedient Biblical Christian or are you not?

That's what I said.
The Hellenized Greek speaking Jews already possessed the Greek OT (LXX) to properly assess what Paul was teaching them through his Epistles.
Saul's letters and the Septuagint are two different documents. One is a Greek translation of the Masoretic Hebrew Scriptures (Law, Psalms, Prophets), the other is a letter discussing the effect of the New Covenant on the previous two covenants God made with Abraham and the children of Israel, the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants, respectively.
When the Holy Spirit's advent initiated thew New Covenant in His Presence on the day of the Jewish Feast of Harvest (Pentecost) everyone did not understand what was taking place. They had to "search the Scriptures" in order to make sense and understand what was going on with this Holy Spirit of Promise and all this tongue-talking.
That's why Paul's Epistles were written in Greek. I'm not surprised that you continue to ignore these historical facts.
Saul may have written to Hellenized Jews, but he used Hebrew concepts and ideas related to their Law. The Jews may have been influenced by Greek culture, but they understood the Hebrew history, culture, and concepts and thought patterns of a Jew concerning their Law.
Furthermore, the covenant that they all came under was the New Covenant that Jesus established at his Last Supper. See Luke 22:19-20.
Jesus didn't "establish" the New Covenant at the Last Supper. He implemented it for the specific purpose to which He came, and that was to be a sacrifice for the sin of God's covenant people: the Jews.
It was the Advent of the Holy Spirit that applied that purpose to God's covenant people the Jews.
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying,
This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.

I'm not surprised that you continue to ignore this Covenantal Biblical fact also. Your ethnic bias is blazingly obvious, not to mention your euphoric lust for ethnic cleansing.
What you don't understand is the Redemptive Plan of God. Each member of the Holy Trinity had a purpose, or Ministry towards that end.
It was the Father's Plan, the Son implemented that plan, the Holy Spirit is applying that plan to God's covenant: the Jews.
Don't forget God has covenant with the Hebrew people. He has no covenant with Gentiles. None whatsoever.
It's only in your ignorance of the "Salvation is of the LORD," and "Salvation is OF THE JEWS that you fail to understand.
But I'm here to help you sort this out.
Gentiles need to stop looking at the Hebrew covenants with a Gentile mindset instead of a Hebrew mindset including the Hebrew history, culture, and way of life of the Hebrew people. The Scripture is rich in Hebrew history, culture and religious practices. I think you should spend more time understanding the Hebrew covenants, especially the Law of Moses, instead of Saul's letters and the gospels.
My proof?
If you are true born of God you will not only understand Yeshua's words, but also obey them.

First, Jesus said to "search the Hebrew Scriptures" of the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets because they speak of Him:

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Jn 5:38–39.

Second, Jesus also said:

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Jn 5:45–47.

In other words, you're looking at the Bible backwards.
 
That's what I said.

Saul's letters and the Septuagint are two different documents.
No kidding.
One is a Greek translation of the Masoretic Hebrew Scriptures
The Masoretes only existed hundreds of years after the Septuagint was translated from the Hebrew Text in effect in the 3rd century BC. So your statement is false unless they had a time machine.
(Law, Psalms, Prophets), the other is a letter discussing the effect of the New Covenant on the previous two covenants God made with Abraham and the children of Israel, the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants, respectively.
When the Holy Spirit's advent initiated thew New Covenant in His Presence on the day of the Jewish Feast of Harvest (Pentecost) everyone did not understand what was taking place.

In other words, you're looking at the Bible backwards.
Let's focus in on what Luke 22:19-20 says and not dance around it or go off on wild tangents.

There are many things I can say about the Eucharist but I'll just mention 2 things for now.

Tell us what Jesus meant when he said "this do in remembrance of me". What repetitive act are they instructed to do? It can't be Cross because it is a one time occurrence. It can't be Pentecost either for the same reason. So what is it that Jesus is telling them to repeat.

Also this is a totally New Covenant standing on its own merits, just like each covenant stood on their merits and intentions before the New Covenant. Tell us how you are consistent with that fact.

Christ has but one new man consisting of Jew and gentile he will not recreate the dividing wall of hostility.
The hostility was there between Jew and Gentile. It didn't end when a Gentile became a Christian. They took that hatred of the Jews into their new life in Christ.
With their hatred of the Jews, they saw the destruction of their Temple and the destruction of their cities and what did they think and do?
They thought God "cast away His people whom He foreknew," and without any Scriptures and a Jew to help them understand the Hebrew history and culture in which Israel's Messiah was foretold and came, they eventually unmoored true Biblical Christianity from its Hebrew roots and started a whole new religion void of its Hebrew beginnings and connection.
Where do you think "Replacement theology" came from?
BINGO!

Missing the point

Which is whether God will erect the wall of hostility

Ephesians 2:11–22 (ESV) — 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

That Jew and gentile should be one peoples in the one church is not a mark of hostility. You mischaracterize a non dispensational response to the issue
 
And who are those people?
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Gen. 17:7.

If you were a Biblical Christian rather than a Constantinian Gentile Christian, you would KNOW this.
