Covenant Theology flattens out the beautiful story of the Gospel and ends up robbing Christ of his glory. I am namely speaking of their supersessionist theology that says the church (or Christ) has superseded any promises that God made with national Israel before Christ. The church has become the “new Israel.” God is done with […]

An Easy Refutation of Replacement Theology’s Proof-Text Galatians 3:28
There has never been a greater advocate of the universal composition of the Christian faith than Paul, who emphatically asserted that in Christ “there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male not female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28). This means that when […]

God doesn’t make up his game-plan as the game goes along, but has the plan […]
Who God made the New Covenant WITH and applied FOR is not the same thing
Scripture is explicit that God made the new covenant with Israel, not the church: (31) “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, (32) not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when […]
Walter C. Kaiser Jr. on at Least Three Assertions the Bible Makes on the Relationship of Israel to the Church

The believing church is grafted into the roots and trunk of the olive tree […]
