I do not believe in the concept of "replacement theology" other than replacing the theology that comes from the word of God in exchange for the philosophies of men as oral traditions...... called blasphemy .
God's theology as his perfect law has nothing to do with the corrupted flesh of men.( Jew or Gentile male nor female) The time of reformation has come. The fig tree is cut off the previous time period as a parable using their flesh as a shadow had come to the end. a great tribulation for the unbelieving Jew (no faith)
The bride of Christ made up of new creatures began with Abel . I don't think he was called a Jew as if God was a man as us to begin with and there was a fleshly Jewish mediator set between God and man as a infallible umpire.
Supernatural God who remains without mother or father, beginning of Spirit life or end is not Jewish nor Gentile, male nor female .
God will not share his glory with the flesh of men. Even the Son of man, Jesus said His own flesh ...it profits for nothing, zip, nada
This passage from 1 Corinthians 1 came to mind and is from one of my many many Bible study tools:
18 For the story and message of the Cross
is sheer absurdity
and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition,
but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.
19 For it is written, “I will baffle and render useless and destroy
the learning of the learned and
the philosophy of the philosophers and
the cleverness of the clever and
the discernment of the discerning;
I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.” (Isaiah 29:14)
***What is the story and message of the Cross?
What are the ways people have tried to prove it wrong?
What do the Muslims think about Jesus Christ and what happened at the Cross?
What are the evidences that what the Bible says happened at the Cross and the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ afterwards.
20 Where is the wise man (the philosopher)?
Where is the scribe (the scholar)?
Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age?
Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this World's wisdom?
21 For when the World with all its Earthly wisdom
failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy,
God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching
to save those who believed
(who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).
***How would you explain those 2 verses to a class of teens?
22 For while Jews [demandingly] ask for signs and miracles
and Greeks pursue philosophy and wisdom,
23 we preach Christ (The Messiah) crucified,
[preaching which] to the Jews is a scandal
and an offensive stumbling block [that springs a snare or trap],
and to the Gentiles it is absurd and utterly unphilosophical nonsense.
24 But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile),
Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.
25 [This is] because
the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men,
and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men.
***Who were the Jews in the Old Testament?
What signs and miracles did they see?
What kind of people were many of the ancient Greeks?
What does the above Scripture passage mean?
26 For [simply] consider your own call, brothers [and sisters];
not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards,
not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth.
27 For God selected (deliberately chose)
what in the World is foolish
to put the wise to shame,
and what the World calls weak
to put the strong to shame.
28 And God also selected (deliberately chose)
what in the World is lowborn and insignificant and branded
and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing,
that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,
29 so that no mortal man
should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
30 But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus,
Whom God made our Wisdom from God,
[revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of Salvation previously hidden,
manifesting itself as]
our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and
our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and
our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].
31 So then, as it is written, “Let him who boasts and proudly rejoices
and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in The Lord.”
