Seeds or Seeds: Which One Are You? - Ep. 955 - August 4. 2026

What does it mean for the church to be "bewitched," and who is the one true Seed of Abraham? In Episode 955 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine Galatians 3 and Paul's warning to believers who had been drawn away from the truth. They discuss how spiritual deception can move people away from faith and grace and back toward legalism, religious control, and reliance on works. The conversation also addresses replacement theology and the distinction between Israel, the church, Abraham's descendants, and Jesus Christ. Galatians 3 identifies Christ as the promised Seed of Abraham, while the blessings promised to the Gentiles come through faith in Jesus, not through the church replacing Israel. Alan and Jeff also consider what it means for Christians to live by faith, recognize the difference between genuine spiritual work and fleshly performance, and remain grounded in the Word of God. Along the way, a humorous story about puppies, a preacher with "dog discernment," and an unusual sponsorship gives the episode plenty of personality. This Bible study continues through Galatians 3, including:  * The warning, "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?"  * Law versus the hearing of faith  * Grace, legalism, and spiritual deception  * The church's responsibility to believe and follow the Bible  * Abraham's faith and righteousness  * The meaning of Abraham's Seed  * Why Jesus Christ is not the church, but the promised Seed  * Israel's continuing place in God's promises  * The difference between God's dispensations and replacement theology Open your Bible to Galatians 3 and follow along with this important discussion about faith, grace, Israel, the church, and the promises of God. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Galatians3 #BibleStudy #ReplacementTheology #ChristianFaith
