a few scriptures on this made up protestant doctrine

What is replacement theology?

Replacement Theology basically teaches that the Protestant or Catholic churches completely replaced Israel in God's plan. Adherents of Replacement Theology believe that the Jews are no longer God's chosen people and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. There are really many thoughts on this subject. Replacement Theology teaches that the protestant or catholic churches are the replacement for Israel and that the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Protestant or Catholic churches, not in Israel. They say the prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land are "spiritualized" or allegorized into promises of God's blessing for the Church, which is wrong.

Major problems exist with this view, such as the continuing existence of the Jewish people throughout the centuries and especially with the revival of the modern state of Israel. If Israel has been condemned by God, and there is no future for the Jewish nation, how do we explain the supernatural survival of the Jewish people over the past 2000 years despite the many attempts to destroy them? How do we explain why and how Israel reappeared as a nation in the 20th century after not existing for 1900 years?

^{The truth of the matter is Messiah Yeshua
is not a}^{protestant or
catholic,}

^and^{there
has "always" been} ^{one people of God.} ^{In Messiah, there is only ONE body}^{. Jews and Gentiles all keep the same
Commandments, feasts in the Scriptures.} ^{We are all ONE in Messiah.} ^{All the Scriptures are for everyone.}

^{All of us need to understand:}

^{Eph.2:[19] Now therefore ye (Gentiles) are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household
of God;[20] And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;[21] In whom all the building
fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:[22] In whom
ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.}

^{Eph.3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and
of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel...}

^{Acts.15[9] And put no difference between us and them,
purifying their hearts by faith.}

^{Rom.3[22] Even the righteousness of God which is by
faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is
no difference:}

^{Rom.10[12] For there is no difference between the Jew
and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.[13]
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.}

^Eph.4 ^[⁴ ^]^{There
is one body}^{, and} ^{one Spirit} ^{, even as ye are called in} ^{one hope} ^{of your calling;[5]} ^{One Lord, one faith, one baptism,[6]
One God}^{and Father of all, who is above
all, and through all, and in you all.}^{-------------}

^{God's covenant with Abraham}

^Gen.22 ^[¹ ^{] And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.[}²^{] And
he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon
one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

[}³^{] And
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of
his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt
offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.[}⁴^{] Then
on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.[}⁵^{] And
Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the
lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you,[} ⁶^{] And Abraham took
the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took
the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.[}⁷^{] And
Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here
am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb
for a burnt offering?[}⁸ ^{] And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.[} ⁹^{] And they came to
the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and
laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar
upon the wood.[}¹⁰ ^{] And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife
to slay his son.[}¹¹ ^{] And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven,
and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.[} ¹²^{] And he said, Lay
not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now}^{I know that thou fearest God} ^{, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only
son from me.

[}¹³^{] And
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught
in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him
up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.[} ¹⁴^{] And Abraham called
the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount
of the LORD it shall be seen.

[}¹⁵^{] And
the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,}

^{[16] And said, By myself
have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast
not withheld thy son, thine only son:}

^{[17] That in blessing I will bless
thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven,
and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the
gate of his enemies;}

^{[18] And in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.}^{----------------}

^Zech.8 ^[²³ ^{] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come
to pass}^,^{that
ten men} ^{shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even
shall} ^{take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you:
for we have heard that God is with you.}

^Rom.9^[ ¹^{] I} ^{( Paul )}^{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}^:[⁴^]^{Who
are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants,
and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;[5] Whose
are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over
all, God blessed for ever. Amen.}

^{Rom.3[1] What advantage then hath the
Jew?} ^{or what profit is there of circumcision?[} ²^{] Much every
way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.}

^{Rom.11[1] I say then, Hath God cast
away his people? God forbid} ^.^{For I also am an Israelite, of
the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

[}²^{] God
hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Wot ye not what the scripture
saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

[}³^{] Lord,
they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left
alone, and they seek my life.[}⁴ ^{] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I
have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to
the image of Baal.[}⁵ ^{] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace.[}⁶^{] And if by grace, then is it no more of
works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it
no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.[} ⁷^{] What then? Israel hath not obtained
that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest
were blinded

[}⁸^{] (According
as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they
should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

[}⁹^{] And
David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block,
and a recompence unto them:[}¹⁰ ^{] Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
and bow down their back alway.} ^{[11] I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid:
but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke
them to jealousy}^. ^[¹² ^{] Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and
the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?[}¹³^{] For
I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify
mine office:[}¹⁴ ^{] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are
my flesh, and might save some of them.[}¹⁵^{] For if the casting away of them be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from
the dead?[}¹⁶ ^{] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and
if the root be holy, so are the branches.[} ¹⁷^{] And if some of the branches be
broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them,
and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;[} ¹⁸^{] Boast not
against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the
root thee.[}¹⁹ ^{] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that
I might be graffed in.[}²⁰ ^{] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off,
and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

[}²¹^{] For
if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.[}²²^{] Behold
therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but
toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also
shalt be cut off.[}²³ ^{] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall
be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.[} ²⁴^{] For if thou wert
cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary
to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural
branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?[} ²⁵^{] For I would not, brethren, that
ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits}^; ^{that blindness in part is happened to
Israel,}^{until the fulness
of the Gentiles be come in.}^[ ²⁶^{] And so all
Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

[}²⁷^{] For
this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.[} ²⁸^{] As concerning
the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.}^[29]^{For the gifts and calling
of God are without repentance}^. ^[³⁰ ^{] For as ye in times past have not believed God,
yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:[} ³¹^{] Even so have these
also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.[}³²^{] For
God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.[}³³^{] O
the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable
are his judgments, and his ways past finding out![} ³⁴^{] For who hath known
the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?[} ³⁵^{] Or who hath first
given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?[} ³⁶^{] For of him, and
through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.}

^{One Law, One Ordinance
for all, Vex not the stranger , all souls are Gods}

^{Noahide Law concept is
man-made. This is NOT what the TaNaKh says.}

^{Exod.12[48] And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee,
and will keep the passover to the LORD let all his males be circumcised , and

the land, or a stranger}^{, the same reproacheth

the forest. [10] His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all
dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. [11]
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds
that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain,
from his quarter. [12] Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more
abundant.}
