On Foundations today, we’re going to look at the requirements of Gentile believers who are grafted in to the Jewish people of God. It’s important to understand, especially because many Christians embrace Replacement Theology. When Christians begin to understand that God has a glorious future for the Jews, they can become a bit confused about their own identity in the process.

There are a number of verses that people use to argue in favour of Replacement Theology, that God has replaced the Jewish people with the Gentile church, and has rejected the Jewish people forever. We’re going to look at Scripture today that disproves that and in fact, promises a wonderful future for them.

Replacement Theology has been a very dangerous and hateful doctrine that has devasted Jewish people throughout church history. We’ve learned how bad over the past week and a half, and we’re now learning about the grafting in of the Gentile church to the Jewish people of God, and in particular in today’s program, we’ll learn what Paul was referring to when he talked about Gentiles being part of the Commonwealth of Israel.

We’ve turned our attention to the teaching of Paul about how the Gentile church is grafted into the people of God. Confusion came in very, very early during the apostolic era because of the number of Gentiles coming to faith. It was a learning curve for both Jews and Gentiles over what was expected of them. In Foundations today, we’ll take a look at the Council of Jerusalem. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.o...

We’ve spent the last 8 episodes of Foundations on the uncomfortable topic of Replacement Theology. That is the belief that the Christian Gentile church has entirely replaced the Jewish people. We’re continuing the series, but changing our focus slightly to the Biblical teaching that Gentile believers haven’t replaced the Jewish people, rather they’ve been grafted in instead.
