Episode 176: The Fallacy of Replacement Theology & the Dangers of Anti-Zionism

In today’s episode with pastor Sam Miles, president of Living Faith Bible Institute, we discuss the definitions and errors of Supersessionism (otherwise called Replacement Theology or Fulfillment Theology) and Covenant Theology. We also look at how redefinition of Scriptural terms by these groups ignores literal dispensations of God’s dealings with humanity in Scripture and His promises to specific audiences. This man-made hermeneutic along with made-up covenants gives way to an allegorical approach to God’s Word where the nation of “Israel” is changed to “the Church.” This conflation of God’s promises to Israel with God’s promises to the church, unfortunately results in an anti-zionist attitude as exemplified in the writings and actions of the most famous Church Fathers all the way down through history to today. Pastor Sam walks us through a few biblical passages which show us the prophets of old together with the Lord Jesus Christ plainly declaring that Israel has an eschatological purpose which literally will come to pass as surely as Christ rose from the dead.
