The BIG Picture (Shorts)

Replacement Theology teaches that the Church has replaced Israel and now receives all her promises. This is false doctrine because Scripture shows Israel’s promises are not cancelled but only paused during the present Dispensation of Grace. Paul explains in Romans 11:25-29 that Israel is “blind in part” until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, and that “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Jeremiah 31:35-37 further proves that Israel will remain a nation before God as long as the sun, moon, and stars endure. This teaching must be avoided because it denies dispensational truth, confuses Israel’s earthly program with the Church’s heavenly program, and spiritualizes literal promises that God gave to Israel. It also questions God’s integrity, for if He abandoned Israel, how could we trust Him to keep His promises to the Church? Scripture declares that God cannot lie (Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18), and His covenants with Israel will be fulfilled when Christ returns to establ...

They ARE NOT ERRORS, just 2 different programs in God’s redemption plan. If you merge them, you get contradictions, but kept apart, they are distinct doctrines, one for Israel (prophecy), the other for the Body of Christ (mystery). In 2Tim.2:15, Paul tells us to study the Word. The result of careful study leads to understanding the need to rightly divide the Word of tru...
