Although the church, already in the New Testament, applied to herself several promises made to the Jewish people she does not supersede the covenant people, Israel. Rather, Israel and the church stand side by side and belong together in several ways, while being at the same time separate on essentials.
See how Jesus said it in Hebrews 8:6-13 and Matthew 9:16-17. In Matthew 5:17-18, Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Calvin , you should read all the books by Michael L. Brown,
A famous Jewish believer in Jesus. Thank you for exposing Stephen Sizer for the Fraud and Evil Bigot he is .
While the Church and Israel are indeed similar in some ways, they are still separate and distinct from each other

"Jew-Gentile Distinction In The "One New Man" Of Ephesians 2:15 -- "By: David B. Woods
Journal: Conspectus
Volume: CONSPECTUS 18:1 (Sep 2014)
Article: Jew-Gentile Distinction In The "One New Man" Of Ephesians 2:15
Author: David B. Woods

Jew-Gentile Distinction In The One New Man Of Ephesians 2:15
David B. Woods 1 This article says
"Two contradictory views of the ‘one new man’ metaphor in Ephesians 2:15 are presented, one arguing that it denies any distinction between Jewish and Gentile Jesus-believers, and the other insisting that it confirms the theory of intra-ecclesial Jew-Gentile distinction. This paper explores the meaning of the ‘one new man’ with special attention to the question of making distinction between Jews and Gentiles within the ekklēsia. The study focuses in turn on each of the three keywords in the metaphor, reviewing their meaning and use in the canon and providing some theological commentary alongside. Supply of the phrase, ‘in place of,’ in some translations is evaluated. Internal evidence in the form of personal pronouns is examined to determine whether it sustains or contradicts distinction theory.
The study concludes unequivocally that the ‘one new man’ in Ephesians 2:15 is a composite unity of Jews and Gentiles who retain their ethnic identities even after spiritual regeneration in Christ. The classification of individuals as believers or unbelievers in Jesus does not erase the biblical distinction
Conspectus 18:1 (September 2014) p. 96
between Israel and the nations, even within the ekklēsia. The mixed usage of personal pronouns in Ephesians confirms this finding. To assert that the ‘one new man’ is created ‘in place of’ Jews and Gentiles is therefore misleading. Major theological implications include the validation of Jewish tradition and practice among Jewish Jesus-believers, and their recognition as the living connection between the nations and Israel. The peace Christ made by creating Jew and Gentile in himself into ‘one new man’ is currently most evident in Messianic Jewish synagogues where members of each party worship together and have table fellowship in unity, whilst retaining their own distinctive faith traditions.
1. Introduction
1.1. The Text And Historical Interpretations
In Ephesians 2:14-16, Paul wrote:2
For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh, invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus making peace, and might reconcile both in one body..."

"One New Man"
“One” refers to the unity of two groups. “New” indicates spiritual renewal of the groups in Messiah. But what about the identity of the individuals within the new "Man"?

BY DAVID B. WOODS NOV 5, 2015
For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 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,and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. (Ephesians 2:14-16)
Ephesians 2:15Â uses the metaphor, “one new man,” to refer to all who have been reconciled to God through the cross of Christ, but scholars disagree on what the metaphor makes of these people. In one view, it denies any distinction between Jewish and Gentile believers in Jesus, while the other view interprets “one new man” as confirmation of such a distinction.
One New Man presents the latter view as the theory of intra-ecclesial Jew-Gentile distinction or, simply, distinction theory. In order to resolve the problem of conflicting interpretations and test distinction theory, a lexical analysis of “one new man” is undertaken, examining the biblical meaning and use of each of the three words in the metaphor, together with some commentary. Other keywords in Ephesians 2:14-16, namely “body,” “create,” and “peace,” are also considered. Additionally, the supply by some Bible translators of the phrase, “in place of,” in the same verse is evaluated: Is the “one new man” created “in place of” the Jews and Gentiles comprising it? Finally, a test of internal evidence (that is, the text of Ephesians) is taken using personal pronouns to see if it refutes or establishes distinction theory."
The ffoz.org article continues
"The unequivocal conclusion of One New Man is that “one new man” in Ephesians 2:15 refers to a composite unity of Jews and Gentiles who retain their ethnic identities even after spiritual regeneration in Christ.
“One” refers to the unity of these two groups, not homogenized but perpetually differentiable members of a composite body. “New” indicates spiritual renewal of Jews and Gentiles in Christ who together constitute the metaphorical “man,” a humanity—not an individual man who is either Jewish or Gentile. The new humanity is not a creation ex nihilo nor a blending that eradicates the distinction between its Jewish and Gentile members. It is a renewed Israel, expanded to incorporate Gentile Christians as co-citizens. The continuance of Jew-Gentile distinction among believers makes the peace (which is also “new”) between them all the more remarkable.
Moreover, classification of people as believers or unbelievers in Jesus does not replace the biblical distinction between Israel and the nations; intra-ecclesial Jew-Gentile distinction remains significant to the author of Ephesians. This is implicitly confirmed through his mixed use of personal pronouns, sometimes identifying with all believers, whilst other times with the Jewish people; sometimes he even distinguishes between Jews and Gentiles within his Jesus-believing audience. All things considered, it is misleading to assert that the “one new man” is created “in place of” Jews and Gentiles.
Continued Jewish identity among Jesus-believers is not merely an ethnic or cultural curiosity; it has theological significance. Major implications include the validation of Jewish tradition and practice for Jewish believers, as well as recognition of them as the living connection between the nations and Israel. The peace Christ made by creating Jew and Gentile in himself into “one new man” is most evident in Messianic Jewish synagogues where Jews and Gentiles worship and have table fellowship together in unity, even whilst retaining their own distinctive faith traditions.

An online article exposing the Errors of Replacement Theology says
"Replacement Theology Exposed
We have seen the case FOR Replacement Theology. Now let's look and see the case AGAINST this doctrine that is yet another effort by Satan to keep Jews and Christians apart.
Some general statements first:
To be a son of Abraham is open to ALL FAITH, but physical sonship still exists. Israel (the Jews) have and will have an important place in the purposes of God
By no means is it true that every Israelite has been, is, or shall be, saved.
Unlike any other nation, Israel has been chosen by God for His purposes of redemption for the whole world
Through Israel the promised Redeemer and Messiah came into the world. Both the FIRST and the SECOND comings of Jesus are to be on their territory
Individually, Jews, as well as Gentiles, can only be saved in this age through faith in the person and work of the Messiah (Yeshuah) Jesus.
Historically, a large part of the nation (though by no means ALL, if we are to believe the record of the book of Acts) rejected the true Messiah, and for that reason lost possession of their land, and their destiny as a priestly nation - for a season.
There has, in all the centuries since Jesus the Messiah, been a number of Jews, who came to know and love Jesus, though at the expense of being swallowed up in a Church, which by this time had forgotten it's Jewish origin.
The Jewish people are unique in human history: they retained their identity as a people, despite having no homeland or political structure, despite frequent attempts at genocide and forcible conversion, and despite their own desires to become indistinguishable from their Gentile neighbors.
God made some very clear promises to the Jews as a people. How could He possible redefine them to apply to another people without be charged with deviousness?
Since the 1840s there are more Jews believing in Jesus than since the first century
The State of Israel has been reestablished, though yet in unbelief. It has been so far preserved remarkably, it not miraculously, through many crises. Those who believe in the sovereignty of God within History find in this the marks of Divine Providence.
There is YET to be a time when Jews in large numbers will turn to Jesus, having strong influence on the evangelization of the Gentile world.
In our day there are significant and growing congregations of Hebrew speaking Jews in Israel, who proclaim Jesus as Messiah and Saviour to their own people. They are not part of any Gentile denominational organization. They bear the marks of a fresh direction in the work of God."
& continues
"What The Scriptures Say About Israel:
The general pattern of scripture is that its histories and predictions are literal, though often trimmed with poetic and pictorial language. This allows for the use of "type" and "antitype" in scripture. Some examples:
The prophecy about the altar at Bethel. 1 Kings 13:2 gives the prediction; 2 Kings 23:15-17 shows the fulfillment
Messiah is to be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23)
Messiah will be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). For those who spiritualize the prophecies, it would not have mattered had He been born in Birmingham.
Messiah will ride into Jerusalem on an ass (Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:5)
Messiah will suffer excruciating pain at the hands of men (Psalm 22)
Messiah will be killed, and buried in a rich man's grave (Isaiah 53:8-9)
Messiah will be alive again after His death (Isaiah 53:10)
In the case of fulfilled prophecy the fulfillment is literaly, then it is logical to expect unfulfilled prophecies to be literal too. Thus, when God speaks of Jerusalem, Judah, and Israel in the last days, we can accept this at face value. Jesus, for example, predicted the destruction of the Temple (Matthew 24:2), and that Jerusalem would be dominated by the Gentiles until much later in history (Luke 21:24). How can this ever be interpreted as "the church?" In fact the predictions were fulfilled in AD 70 and 1967. The Bible, of course, also refers to "the heavenly Jerusalem," but there is no difficulty perceiving when it means the earthly and the heavenly Jerusalem.
The Meaning Of "Israel" and the "Jew" In The New Covenant
There are about 77 references to "Israel" in the New Testament. One refers to the land of Israel, and every single one of the rest refer to the Jewish people either historically, in their unbelief, or as the believing remnant. The one reference which is debated is Galatians 6:16 where Paul says, "as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." In view of the fact that the word "Israel" never refers elsewhere in scripture to the Christian Church, it is best to interpret Gal. 6:16 as referring to the body of Jews who believe in Jesus, who are, of course, part of the Church.
The word "Jew" or "Jews" occurs over 190 times in the New Covenant. These terms ALWAYS refer to the Jewish people, whether to those who rejected the Messiah, or to those who accepted Him. It is never used to describe a Gentile Christian. Romans 2:28-29 does not extend the title of "JEW" to the Gentile Christian world but it actually RESTRICTS the true Jewishness to those Jews who are circumcised in heart i.e. who accept Jesus, and are born of the Spirit.
While insisting that Jews and Gentiles within the Church constitute "ONE NEW MAN", and that the spiritual standing of Jews and Gentiles in Messiah is equal (Gal. 3:28; 6:15), Paul did make a practical distinction, not only between MEN and WOMEN, but also between Christians of Jewish and Gentile backgrounds.
This is illustrated by his attitude to his two colleagues, Timothy and Titus; Timothy, who was Jewish, he circumcised:
Acts 16:3 - Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
But he sternly resisted pressure to circumcise Titus, because he was a Gentile:
Galatians 2:3 - But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: "
& continues
" Paul did not teach that either Jews or Gentiles had a superior position within the ecclesia on grounds of race. This outlaws discrimination against ANYONE within the CHURCH on ground of his racial origin. Paul in fact distinguishes between three groups of peoples in the world:
Jews
Gentiles
The Church of God (Comprised of both Jews and Gentiles)
This means that a Christian has transcended his racial background, though for practical purposes he is still a member of his own nation.
This principle is further illustrated in the epistles of James and Peter. James addresses his epistle to "the twelve tribes in the Diaspora. Clearly, he saw the Jewish Christians, to whom he was writing, as still Israelites. He describes their meeting as a "synagogue," (2.2). Peter was given as "apostleship to the circumcision (i.e., to the Jews)" (Gal. 2:8). This is why Peter's first epistle is written from Babylonia, where the largest First Century Jewish community resided (1 Peter 5:13), and was addressed to "chosen exiles of the Diaspora." (1 Peter 1:1)
Paul himself was a Jew, and also the chosen apostle to the Gentiles. (There is not one even one non-Jewish apostle in the New Testament). Paul's epistle to the Romans is the theological heart of the New Covenant. Chapters 9-11 contain his mature teaching about Israel.
Romans 9-11 - The Olive Tree - The Church DOES NOT Replace Israel!
The following is a summary list of the points Paul makes in Romans 9-11 in his great teaching on the nation of Israel and how she relates to God's prophetic time clock and future:
The Jews, even in their rejection of Jesus are STILL Israelites: - Romans 9:4 - ...Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
To Israel still belong the ADOPTION, the GLORY, the COVENANTS (including the New COVENANT), the GIVING OF THE LAW, the SERVICE OF GOD, and THE PROMISES (9:4c)"
& continues
"The main body of Israel has forfeited salvation through rejecting the Messiah - Romans 9:30-33; 10:21 - What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. [31] But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. [32] Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; [33] As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed; Romans 10:21 - But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Paul desires and PRAYS for their salvation - there is NOT anti-Jewishness in Paul's heart - quite the opposite - Romans 9:1-3 - I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, [2] That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. [3] For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:"

Jewish believers are still Jewish (but they still maintain and will receive God's covenantal promises with Israel), but in terms of salvation, Gentile believers are grafted into the tree.

"13 Reasons why Replacement Theology is nonsense"
A Christian Online Article that Refutes "Replacement Theology" states
" Two passages Replacement theologians try to use in order to build their doctrine that Christians
have replaced Jews in God’s plan, and the Church is the ‘new Israel.’
a) Romans 9:6-8 – “But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel
belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall
your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but
the children of the promise are counted as offspring” (ESV).
Replacement theologians take the statement ‘it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God,
but the children of the promise are counted as offspring’ to mean that Christians have now replaced the Jews
in God’s covenants. But context is everything – several verses earlier Paul clearly stated that the covenants
and promises do still belong to the Jewish people (verses 1-4)! A simple read through chapter 9 confirms that
Paul’s point here is not that believing Gentiles are now considered Israelites, but rather, that not everyone
who is physically a Jew will share in the promises made to the Jewish people. Only believing Jews will inherit
the promises made to the Jewish people. That is the point of this passage, not that Gentile believers have
now somehow mystically becoming the new Jews of God’s covenants, thereby replacing ethnic Jews.
As William Sanday and Arthur C. Headlam so succinctly put it in their commentary about this passage: “But
St. Paul does not mean here to distinguish a spiritual Israel (i.e. the Christian Church) from the fleshly Israel,
but to state that the promises made to Israel might be fulfilled even if some of his descendants were shut out
from them. What he states is that not all the physical descendants of Jacob are necessarily inheritors of the
Divine promises implied in the sacred name lsrael.”11
b) Galatians 6:16 – “And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God” (ESV).
Replacement theologians take the phrase ‘Israel of God’ in this passage to refer to the Church, so that the
Church has somehow replaced ethnic Jews as the new Israel in God’s plan. But nowhere does this passage
state that the ‘Israel of God’ refers to Gentile Christians! It is purely an assumption made by those who
believe in Replacement theology. In fact, the ‘Israel of God’ here simply refers to Jewish believers, who are
thereby distinguished from their unbelieving Jewish kinsmen.
As Ronald E. Diprose in his book entitled ‘Israel and the Church,’ “Galatians 6:16 is insufficient grounds on
which to base an innovative theological concept such as understanding the Church to be the new and/or true
Israel.”12

"The Christian article also states
"Dealing with Replacement theology’s favorite proof-texts.
1. Galatians 3:7, 29 – “Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.” . . . “And if you are Christ’s,
then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (ESV).
a) These are, perhaps, Replacement theology’s favorite texts because in them Christians are called ‘sons of
Abraham’ and ‘Abraham’s offspring.’ Replacement theologians take these passages to mean that Christians are
now Abraham’s offspring instead of the Jews, and thus, that the Jewish people have now been excluded from
the promises and covenants that God made with them back in the Old Testament. But this is a very shallow
interpretation because it completely ignores the many passages of Scripture that directly contradict it (eg. Rom
9:4; 11:1-2; 11:26-27; 11:29; Jer 31:35-57; and many other passages, see section above).
In truth, the only thing this passage actually says is that Gentile believers are now included under the
covenant and blessings and promises that God had previously given only to the Jewish people. Thus, this is
not an exclusionary passage about the Jewish nation, but rather an inclusionary passage for Gentile believers
– Gentile believers are now included in what God had already started with the nation of Israel.
b) Perhaps it would be helpful to here draw a distinction between Jewish individuals and the Jewish nation. On an
individual level, Jewish individuals are saved in the same way as Gentile individuals – by faith in Christ. This is
the one and only plan of salvation for all people on the earth, whether Jew or Gentile. Hence Paul’s statement
above ‘that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.’ Thus, on and individual level, Jewish individuals
who reject Christ are just as unsaved as any Gentile unbeliever – they will be cast into hell at the end of their
days, and will not inherit any of the blessings or promises God made to the nation of Israel.
On a national level, however, God has made promises (ie. ‘covenants’) to the Jewish nation that He is bound
to keep: He has said that the land of Israel will be the Jews’ inheritance forever (Gen 17:8; Ps 105:8-11; 1
Chron 16:15-18; Rom 11:29; etc.); He has said that He would one day write His laws in the Jewish people’s
hearts and turn their hearts towards Him (Jer 31:33); and He has said that He would one day bring the
Jewish people back into the land of Israel and save all those living at that time (Ez 39:21-29; Zech 12:10-13:9;
Rom 11:26-29). God has promised the Jewish people that He will do all of these things, so we can be sure
that He will. And nowhere in Galatians 3 does Paul state that these promises to the Jewish people (on a
national level) have been cancelled, or that the Church has replaced the nation of Israel in the receiving of
those promises. His only point is that believing Gentile individuals can now know the joy of salvation along
with believing Jewish individuals.
c) The truth of the matter is that Replacement theology puts too much emphasis on Paul’s use of the terms ‘sons
of Abraham’ and ‘Abraham’s offspring’ in Galatians 3. Yes, Paul here uses the term to describe Gentile
believers, but this cannot be taken to mean that, in God’s eyes, Gentile believers have now replaced the nation
of Israel as Abraham’s descendants. "
The article continues: " "Why ? Because even a brief study of the New Testament shows that the
"terms ‘sons of Abraham’ and ‘Abraham’s offspring’ are elsewhere used ONLY of the Jewish people. Thus,
Galatians 3 does not prove that believers have replaced the Jewish people as the only ‘sons of Abraham.’
There are four different ways the New Testament uses the term ‘sons of Abraham’ (or ‘Abraham’s offspring’):
1) First, the term ‘sons of Abraham’ (or ‘Abraham’s offspring’) sometimes refers exclusively to the Jewish
people, the biological descendants of Abraham (eg. Acts 3:25; 13:26; 2 Cor 11:22);
2) Second, it can refer to individual Jewish believers (cf. Isa 41:8 with Rom 9:6);
3) Third, it is also once used to specifically identify Jesus (Gal 3:15-16);
4) Fourth, it can be used in a spiritual sense for both believing Jews and Gentiles (Gal 3:7, 29 as above).
Conclusion: In his book The relationship between the Old and New Testaments, John Feinberg says this about
the four different senses in which the term ‘sons of Abraham’ is used in the New Testament; "no sense
(spiritual especially) is more important than any other, and no sense cancels out the meaning and
implications of the other senses."14 In other words, Replacement theology cannot use Galatians 3 to say that
‘the sons of Abraham’ only applies to believers, and not to the nation of Israel. Thanks to Jesus’ death on the
cross Gentile believers have now been included in the promise of salvation that God made to Abraham, but
this does not mean that God’s promises to the nation of Israel are null and void.
d) It may here be helpful to differentiate between the various promises God made to the Jewish people in the
Old Testament, some of which Gentile believers have now been grafted into (thank God!), and others which
are still just for national Israel:
"God’s promises to the Jewish people in the Old Testament
Now applies to
believing Jews
and Gentiles"
1. The promise of salvation and forgiveness for sins (Jer 31:34; 33:8; Ez 36:24-33; 37:23; Zech
13:1-2,9; Isa 43:25; 53:11-12).
promises
Spiritual
2. The promise of the Holy Spirit (Isa 44:3; Ez 36:27; Joel 2:28-29; Zech 12:10).
3. The promise of new hearts that want to do right and want to love God (Jer 31:33; 32:39-40; Ez
11:19-20; 36:24-29).
"Still applies only to the
Jewish people"
4. The promise to re-gather the Jewish people into the land of Israel (Ez 36:24-29; 37:21-28;
39:25-29).
Physical promises
5. The promise to give the land of Israel to the Jewish people forever (Gen 17:8; Ps 105:8-11; 1
Chron 16:15-18; Ez 37:25-28; Rom 11:29).
6. The promise to bless the nation of Israel above all the other nations of the earth (Isa 49:22-23;
60:3-22; Jer 33:9).
7. The promise to fight for the Jews against all their Gentile enemies on the Day of the Lord (Ez
38:17 – 39:22; Zech 14:3, 12).
8. The promise that every Jew who is still alive when Jesus returns will get saved (Zech 12:10-
13:2,9; Rom 11:26; Jer 31:33-34).
& continues
"It is important to note that all of these promises
"2. Ephesians 2:11-22 – In this famous passage Paul talks about the fact that, through Christ, ‘the dividing wall of
hostility’ (v. 14) has been taken down between Jews and Gentiles, and how Gentile believers have now become
‘fellow citizens’ with the Jewish saints (v. 19). Replacement theology takes these statements to mean that there is
now no distinction between Jews and Gentiles. False! Elsewhere Paul states that in Christ ‘there is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ’ (Gal 3:28 ESV). Does
this mean that there are no longer any gender differences between men and women who have become Christians?
Absurd! Men remain men after coming to Christ and women remain women. Paul is not here saying that in Christ
men and women become identical and indistinguishable, nor that in Christ Jews and Gentiles become identical and
indistinguishable. What Paul is saying is that, in Christ, men and women and Jews and Gentiles and slaves and
masters are all equal. Equal and identical are two very different things. Equal in Christ means that all these different
groups of people are equal before God in terms of status in Christ – they are saved in the same way (by faith), and
receive the same Spirit and the same benefits as a result of their salvation. But they are still distinct from each
other in terms of identity and roles in God’s plan for the earth. Men and women continue to have different roles
from each other in Christ (eg. When’s the last time you saw a pregnant man?!?), and the same is true of Jews and
Gentiles. The fact that in Christ Gentile believers have been made ‘fellow citizens’ and have become ‘one’ with the
Jewish people (Eph 2:14) does not mean that they are now indistinguishable from Jews in God’s eyes, nor that the
Jewish people have ceased to hold a unique and distinctplace in the historical working out of God’s redemption of
the world.
3. Romans 11:17-24 – In this famous passage Paul stresses that believing Gentiles have now been grafted into God’s
tree, along with believing Jews, and that they now share in the blessings of God’s promises and covenant. But it
does not say that the church is now the true Israel. As Michael Vlach says in his book ‘Has the Church replaced
Israel?’ “There is a difference between saying that believing Gentiles (ie. the Church) participate with Israel in
Israel’s covenants and claiming that believing Gentiles become Israel. Gentiles are partakers of the covenants not
taker-overs. This passage does not rule out a future role for national Israel or indicate that the church is now
Israel.”
The Article continues
"do still belong to the Jewish people (verses 1-4)! A simple read through chapter 9 confirms that Paul’s point here
is not that believing Gentiles are now considered Israelites, but rather, that not everyone who is physically a Jew
will share in the promises made to the Jewish people; only believing Jews will inherit the promises made to the
Jewish people. That is the point of this passage, not that Gentile believers have now somehow mystically
becoming the new Jews of God’s covenants, thereby replacing ethnic Jews.
As William Sanday and Arthur C. Headlam so succinctly put it in their commentary about this passage: “But St.
Paul does not mean here to distinguish a spiritual Israel (i.e. the Christian Church) from the fleshly Israel, but to
state that the promises made to Israel might be fulfilled even if some of his descendants were shut out from them.
What he states is that not all the physical descendants of Jacob are necessarily inheritors of the Divine promises
implied in the sacred name lsrael.”16
5. Galatians 6:16 – “And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God”
(ESV).
Replacement theologians take the phrase ‘Israel of God’ in this passage to refer to the Church, so that the Church
has somehow replaced ethnic Jews as the new Israel in God’s plan. But nowhere does this passage state that the
‘Israel of God’ refers to Gentile Christians! It is purely an assumption made by those who believe in Replacement
theology. In fact, the ‘Israel of God’ here simply refers to Jewish believers, who are thereby distinguished from
their unbelieving Jewish kinsmen.
As Ronald E. Diprose in his book entitled ‘Israel and the Church,’ “Galatians 6:16 is insufficient grounds on which
to base an innovative theological concept such as understanding the Church to be the new and/or true Israel.”17

"1 PETER 2:9 AND REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY" This article says
Q
How do you answer someone who believes Israel has been replaced by the Church and uses 1 Pet. 2:9 to support his position?
A
Replacement Theology is the false teaching that after Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah, God transferred to the Church all the unfilled promises He had made to Israel. Therefore the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plans for the future.
1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
Notice this verse doesn’t disqualify Israel from anything. It doesn’t say the Church has become the chosen people, as if we’ve been chosen in place of Israel, just that we’re a chosen people.
In addition, one of the problems of trying to build doctrine on one or two verses is that if you get it wrong you have to either ignore or re-interpret lots of other ones to maintain your position. This is true of replacement theology, no matter which verses you try to hang your hat on. Through out the Old and New testaments prophecies of the reappearance of Israel in the End Times are so numerous as to be undeniable.
For example, in Luke 21:24 Jesus said Jerusalem would be trampled on by the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. The word “until” means there will be an end to Gentile dominion but Jerusalem will remain.
Romans 11:25-29 is another clear example showing that after the church has been taken, Israel will be saved. There are dozens of others in Deuteronomy, the Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Micah, Zechariah, etc. In summary it’s impossible to hold to a literal interpretation of the Bible and also subscribe to replacement theology."

"ANSWERING EVANGELICAL ANTI-SEMITISM"
IN BLOGS BY TY PERRY JANUARY 14, 2022
A few years ago, around 2016 someone asked a Christian website the following Question "Some People claim there is Much Difference between the House of Israel and the House of Judah, from where we get the word Jew or Jews, they claim that since some of Jesus's Disciples were from the House of Israel, that the Disciples from the House of Israel were Not Jews, like the Disciples from the House of Judah, are all the Tribes of Israel Jews, or just the Tribe of Judah, and what does that mean for the Jews today, and the State of Israel, ? Are Jews today still Loved by God and still the Chosen People ? There is Much Confusion about this, what is the View your website?" The website replied
"Hello and thank you for your question. I had not heard that some people try to distinguish between the terms “house of Israel” and “house of Judah” so I did quite a bit of research in the Bible. Here is what I believe the Bible has to say on both.
First, the Bible uses the term “house of Israel” 152 times in the English Standard version. In every case, it means the total people of Israel, which are all those who can trace their heritage back through the twelve sons of Jacob, back through Isaac to Abraham. The twelve sons of Jacob were the basis for dividing Israel into twelve tribes for the purpose of dividing the promised land among God’s people, the people of Israel. An interesting point to note, the sons of Levi did not receive land. Instead, they were privileged to be the priests of God for Israel. Jacob’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh both received land as Joseph received a double portion (Genesis 48:16). All of these people are called the “house of Israel” in both Testaments.
The words “house of Israel” as it is used in scripture is a literary device called a ‘metonymy.’ A metonymy is a figure of speech that uses a name of one object to describe a related object. An example is to substitute “count noses” to describe counting people. Another example is when a waitress tells her helper “the ham sandwich at table 3 also wants a soda.” The term ham sandwich is being used to describe the person at table 3. He or she is not a ham sandwich, but the helper understood what the waitress meant in context.
Here are some common metonymy terms to describe the people of Israel used in the Bible. “House of Jacob” (Luke 1:33), “His servant Israel” ( Luke 1:54), “the Root” (Romans 11:18), “Jerusalem” (Matthew 23:24), “sons of Israel” (Revelation 7:4), “sons of the family of Abraham” (Acts 13:26) are some common references to all the people who are physical descendants of Abraham. These terms all describe the people of Israel, also called Israelites, Hebrews, and Jews.
The term ‘Israelites’ comes from when Jacob’s name was changed by God in Genesis 32:28. Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” The word ‘Hebrew’ is very ancient and means “one from the other side (of the river)” and was first used of Abraham in Genesis 14:13 because he came originally from the other side of the Euphrates from the city of Ur.
The word ‘Jew’ comes from the Hebrew word ‘Yehudi’ and means one from the Tribe of Judah. Judah also is used to describe the original territory allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15). After the reign of Solomon, the ten Northern tribes divided from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin in the south. The Northern tribes established a capital at Samaria and were known as Israel. The southern kingdom retained the capital of Jerusalem and was known as the Kingdom of Judah or simply Judah (1 Kings 12:16ff)."
The comment continues
"The Northern kingdom was conquered by Assyria in 740 B.C., and the people were dispersed throughout the Empire. From this dispersion comes the idea of the “Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.” The southern kingdom was defeated by the Babylonians in 586 B.C., and with the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, an end came to that period of Jewish history.
The dispersion of the northern tribes and the loss of substantial genealogy records makes it very difficult for even Jews to understand who is from what particular kingdom. Isaiah speaks of “both houses of Israel” in Isaiah 8:11 but he is speaking regarding those who chose to follow God in either the northern or southern kingdom and those who reject God. For those who follow God, He will be a sanctuary in the coming political turmoil that reaches its peak with the Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom. For those who reject God, He will bring ruin. This prophecy has Messianic overtones as well.
There is a theological school of thought called Two House Theology that looks to a future rejoining of the twelve tribes. This is an old theological theory that first surfaced in the 2nd century A.D. The arguments are complicated, and for the most part, this theology is considered a very minority position by even Jewish theologians.
Perhaps some who follow this rather obscure theology are those who you have heard arguing over whether the disciples of Jesus were all “Jews.” We don’t have the complete genealogy of each of the disciples, but since Jesus chose them from the area around Galilee, which at that time was all Jewish, we can rest assured that they were all Jewish men.
Since the identity of the people of the northern tribes were lost to antiquity, any discussion about one house or the other is speculation. For the Jewish people today, they are proud of their Jewish heritage and may even have some family heritage of their tribe, but again, it is very difficult to make clear distinctions between the ancient two houses of Israel. "
The Answer continues
"The discussion has very little bearing on the modern day State of Israel which is primarily a secular nation. Are the Jews of today still loved by God? The answer is “yes” for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Only those who have put their faith in Jesus are declared justified in God’s sight. All who have trusted in Christ, whether they are Jew or Gentile are loved by God because His Son has redeemed them, and the Father has adopted them into His family.
Those who have not put their faith in Christ, whether they be Jew of Gentile are not loved by God. They are sinners and are under God’s wrath for sin and will be judged on their works and found wanting. These two positions; those in Christ who are loved, and those who do not believe and are enemies of God are the only two groups of people who will matter in the end. Paul makes this clear in Ephesians 2:
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 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, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.” (Ephesians 2:13–17, ESV)."
& lastly says
"The amazing fact is that with the new covenant and the atoning death of Jesus Christ, all who by faith believe are now one people. They are all “Israel,” all “descendants of Abraham” and are one people in Christ (Romans 6:8; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 3:6).
Paul warns against the haggling over theological speculations (1 Timothy 6:4-5). The important point is to understand the gospel as being of first importance (1 Corinthians 15:3) and telling people where they can find forgiveness for sin and reconciliation with God. Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). So the important thing for all Christians to remember is to tell others about Christ and let God worry about how He will bring about the end of this current world as He ushers in His eternal Kingdom for all He had chosen before time began. I hope this will encourage you to preach Christ to all God brings into your path."
From a Pro-Israel Christian website "Every day, the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL live in fear of being INJURED OR KILLED by rockets and missiles. A bomb shelter is one of the only ways to protect men, women, and children from these ruthless attacks.
All too often, people in Israel go about their daily lives…taking children to school, buying groceries, having coffee with a friend…when they hear the unmistakable blast of a siren alerting them to an incoming rocket.
Those who live in southern Israel have only 10-15 seconds to find cover…
When missiles rain down into civilian areas, homes and businesses are destroyed. Those can be rebuilt, but the lives lost are an unsalvageable tragedy.
The bomb shelters needed are precast and can be installed within hours in public places like markets and playgrounds.
These shelters provide a sense of peace and security to the people of Israel, but most importantly, they save lives. Please help.
As Christians, God calls all of us to provide safety and security for His Chosen People, our Jewish brothers and sisters, however we can.
Every dollar saves lives. YOU can make a difference."

"Is God Finished With Israel?" on November 26, 2010 about how Christians should definitely support Israel
gotquestions.org has an article headlined
"QUESTION
Should Christians support the nation of Israel?" and it says
ANSWER
"Christians should definitely support the nation of Israel. We must remember that Israel, the nation, is very special to God. We read in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 these words: "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt."
God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Already He has done so in measure, for "salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22), but the fullness of future blessing is indicated in the wondrous promise of Isaiah 27:6: "In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit."
The declaration that "salvation is from the Jews” suggests our immeasurable debt to Israel. All that we have worth having has come to us through the Jews. Our Bible is a Jewish Book, and our Savior is a Jewish Savior. Let us never forget to pray for God’s chosen people. It is true that Israel, today, is in the place of rejection. The nation is a secular, unbelieving (as to the claims of Scripture and their Messiah, Jesus Christ) nation; but "…at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace" (Romans 11:5). Some Jews are being saved and are becoming members of the body of Christ through faith in their Messiah.
Jews are, biblically speaking, the "chosen people of God" and dearly loved by Him. Another reason for Christians to support the nation of Israel is because of the Abrahamic Covenant. We read of God’s promise in Genesis 12:2-3, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you" (see also Genesis 27:29; Numbers 24:9)."
The gotquestions.org article continues
"One of the United States’ most worthwhile accomplishments has been its consistent regard for the plight of the Jewish nation. No nation in the history of the world has a better record of treating individual Jews with respect than does America. The same can be said for our befriending Israel as a nation. America has committed many sins for which we may well deserve judgment, but as a nation, we have been a consistent friend of the Jews and the nation of Israel, as well as a benefactor. In 1948, President Harry Truman helped persuade the United Nations to recognize Israel as a nation. Since then, the United States has contributed billions of dollars in aid to Israel.
From the biblical declarations of God’s love and care for His chosen people, the nation of Israel, and from the history of nations being destroyed because of their evil dealings with God’s chosen people, the Jews, Christian believers should give support to the chosen people of God. This is not to say that we necessarily support the methods they use in their relationships with the Arab nations. The Bible warned that conflict would always characterize the relations between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. Sadly, this conflict will continue until Jesus comes back to judge the nations and sets up His 1,000-year reign of peace on earth. We must look at the "big picture” with a biblical worldview. While we do not have to support everything Israel does as a nation, we most definitely should support Israel’s right to exist. God will fulfill His promises and covenants with Israel. God still has a plan for Israel. Woe to anyone who seeks to defeat that plan; “whoever curses you I will curse” (Genesis 12:3).

A Pro-Israel Christian recently typed on Facebook
"Hasn't everyone noticed that GOD protects Israel against overwhelming odds. Remember the return of Jews to Israel In 1948 ? The 6 day war where Israel destroyed Egypts Air Force & Army & at the same time destroyed Syrias armed forces & were on their way to take Damascus & would have had the United States not asked the Israelis to stop.
Haven't you wondered why Israel can change Desert Into fertile crops while the same desert remains so when Arabs try to plant crops ?
Oh YES, GOD Is always with Israel to defend Her & causes Her to flourish."

"Isn’t the unconditional ownership of the land in the Abrahamic Covenant contradictory to the conditional enjoyment of the land in the Land Covenant?" and the article says:
[Here is the full text of the QUESTION from the reader:]
You state that “The Abrahamic Covenant teaches that ownership of the land is unconditional, while the Land Covenant teaches that the enjoyment of the land is conditional upon obedience.” You also state that, “The Land Covenant, being an unconditional covenant, is still very much in effect.” Aren’t you making contradictory statements?
Here is Arnold’s ANSWER:
There is no contradiction in the comments you quoted. The Abrahamic Covenant is what gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people, and based upon this covenant, actual ownership of the land is unconditional.
The Mosaic Covenant made it clear that if Israel fell into disobedience, they could lose the enjoyment of the land either by exile or by dispersion, but they would not lose the right of ownership of the land.
Deuteronomy 29, which speaks of the Land Covenant, points out that there would be a worldwide dispersion of the Jewish people because they would reject “the prophet like unto Moses.” Being dispersed from the land, they would not be enjoying the land. However, Deuteronomy 30 shows that ownership is still unconditional, and when Israel finally experiences her national salvation, God will then bring all Jewish people back to the land."

The website bible.ca while admitting that it Believes in Replacement Theology and repeating the same false arguments for Replacement Theology , bible.ca is actually Pro-Israel and says on it's website:
"DON'T CALL US ANTI-SEMENTIC
The vast majority of churches believe and teach "replacement theology". Churches that oppose "replacement theology" including John Hagee, are in the minority. Those who believe in Replacement Theology love the state of Israel and are among her strongest supporters! Just because we do not feel modern Israel is any more special in the eyes of God than Canada or the USA, we defend and support the only democracy in the Middle east and consider Israel our primary ally in the world of Islamic Nuclear Jihad and terrorism. We believe that Israel was granted legal title to the historic promised land through the Balfour Declaration (1917) and the League of Nations "Mandate for Palestine" of December 1922. We believe that "Palestinians" is a fictitious title for a "people" that never existed in history, except for the nation from which it owes its origin: Philistines (ie. Goliath) who are a long extinct nation. We do not believe Israel is an occupier or "Apartheid State". We are neither "far-left" or "progressive" and condemn "Israel Apartheid Week" as a delusional pack of lies. We do not believe Israel is a "cursed nation". We oppose those who boycott Israel and prefer Israeli made products over anything made in Muslim countries because of their high quality. In fact, we admire and applaud how well Israel treats those in Gaza and the West Bank, given the number of terrorist attacks Muslims launch upon the peace loving, hard-working civilian Jewish population. We reject the "two state solution" of Dividing Israel up into a militarily indefensible nation because the Koran is the problem. Those living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip already have the "two state solution" provided for in the "Mandate for Palestine"… the entire nation of "Jordan"! SO DON'T CALL US ANTI-SEMETIC. It makes you look dumb and uninformed. Like all Christians we believe all Jews, Muslims and unbelievers are lost until they believe Jesus rose from the dead, repented and are immersed in water for the remission of their sins… and by the way, Jesus was a Jew NOT a Palestinian. Jesus was born a Jew and lived as a Jew, keeping the Law of Moses perfect and sinless. IT ANGERS US THAT JEWS REFUSE TO ACTUALLY READ THE NEW TESTAMENT. But we still love Israel and support her as a democratic nation!"
