BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE
BIBLE
KNOWLEDGE!
People have heard of Replacement
Theology whereby certain Christian churches have wrongly decided
that God has finished with Israel and replaced them with the Christian church.
1. It gets stronger
and stronger
2. The person, in
this case the church, grows more weak, loses energy, become listless and
eventually ‘dies’.
I’VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS?
The Replacement Theology church operates
according to the following tenets, to name a few:-
2. They
don’t believe the King James Bible in which Israel and the Jew will be graffed
back into Jesus Christ.
3. They
confuse the words ‘covenant’ and ‘testament’, with covenants being exclusively used
for the Jew.
4. They
assume they are the true spiritual Jew
5. They
misapply the book of Joel as applying to the Christian church.
6. They
steal the exclusive Jewish term of ‘sign’ for the church.
7. They
misappropriate physical healing from the Old Testament covenants.
8. They
can’t understand the Book of Hebrews.
9. They
help ship the Jews back into Israel thinking they are helping them get home.
10. They
take ‘tithing’ from OT law and place it into the church.
11. They
join with Rome (who seek to exterminate the Jew) thinking that the church and
Roman Catholics have been filled with the same spirit.
12. They
are unable to tell the Messianic Jew that he’s lost and headed for hell.
13. They
fail to rightly divide the word and mix OT dispensations with Paul.
14. They
misappropriate the Book of Malachi into the New Testament.
15. They
take the prosperity of the OT Jew under the old covenant and put it into the
New Testament … and the list goes on.
The
reasoning goes something like the following:-
“What
could be better than Christ?”
“Who
could be more perfect than Christ?
“What
better truth is there than what Christ spoke?
“What
better doctrine could we live our lives by, than what was spoken by Christ?
“Surely
we must follow Christ, the Son of man?
“Surely
we must be like Christ, the Son of man?
“As Christ
is our Saviour, then what he said must be pure, precious, absolutely true, like
gold and beyond reproach in any shape or form?
You’re
absolutely 100% correct and absolutely 100% wrong!
Let
me put it this way.
Suppose
there were two physical education coaches, one over 90 years of age and an
expert in Gerontological (geriatric) anatomy, and the other, a 21 year old
straight out of University and headed for a gold medal at the Olympics, but
both experts in their respective fields of exercise physiology and aerobics
instruction.
Now
suppose you were in charge of assigning which coach to which group. I think the
choice would be obvious.
Correct!
You match according to age and ability with the up and coming Games star
appointed to the younger group. Advice and information that would be suitable
for one group will not be for the other.
What
each of them would say would be 100% absolutely correct, but it would not be appropriate
for the other group – do you agree?
There
are two expert coaches in the Bible – one is Jesus Christ and the other is Paul
and they both talk to two entirely different groups of people about different
things. Christ comes to talk about the law and unsaved Jews fulfilling it, and
Paul writes to the churches about Christian doctrine and how they should live,
now that the Old testament law has been fulfilled by Christ. It’s as if you
have a relay race, where one runner hands the baton over to the next runner.
As
the scriptures say
Jesus Christ comes to earth to be the Messiah for the Jew – not
the Gentile.
The Apostle Paul is given the task of catering to the non-Jew, that is,
the Gentile.
1. He
was not a Christian - he was an Old Testament law abiding Jew according to the
law of Moses.
2. He
was pork abstaining – he didn’t eat pigs or any other unclean animal
3. He
kept the Sabbath – he worshipped on Saturday
4. He
went to the Jewish temple to worship as a Jew as instructed in the law of
Moses.
5. He
endorsed the killing of animals, such that, their blood be used to cover past
sins, that is, for the remission of sins past. This went on ‘ad infinitum’ –
day after day after week after week after year after year.
6. He
completely fulfilled the 693 laws as contained in the Old Testament – that is,
he not only completed the Old Testament law to the letter, but he fulfilled
it because he loved it with the right heart attitude
7. He
confirm the promises made unto the Jewish fathers such as Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob by fulfilling their prophecies concerning him.
He
takes the relay baton off Christ after the cross and writes his dispensation of
the gospel given to him with his first book of Galatians around 50AD. This is
approximately 16 years after the cross.
They
do and they don’t! There are two completely different groups – the Jews and the
Gentiles!
Dear
Reader, I ask you could you get any more different coaches than these two
speaking to two entirely different groups of people? You couldn’t.
“Repent
of your sins, get water baptised and you will receive the Holy Ghost.”
1.
Israel reject Jesus Christ in setting up his kingdom of heaven here on earth
2.
After the cross, Peter is given the task of preaching to the men of Israel with
an interim gospel before Paul takes the reins with Paul’s gospel.
This
is a time of different variations of Christ’s gospel leading up to Paul, and no
Christian in their right mind will tamper with these variations to be suitable
for the unsaved today.
3.
Halfway through Acts Paul takes over from Peter with the start of three trips
and the pure waterless gospel needed for today.
2.
Peter to Israel
3.
Paul to the everyone.
Christ’s
kingdom of heaven doctrine is a REVERSE REPLACEMENT
Peter
to the men of Israel is another REVERSE REPLACEMENT
The
church has lost it’s way.
We
can clearly see and understand now why the Apostle Paul would say to Timothy
Yes Dear Reader, this is not just ignorance, but WILLing ignorance!
