Since another thread on this topic was closed by the OP, I thought I would start another one.
What are other's view on this? I have heard it is an "anti-Semitic" view.
Please try and keep this a civil discussion, and also try to stay on the topic of the thread
[at least as much as possible ]
Thanks

Replacement Theology?
Replacement theology along with supersessionism, fulfillment theology is essentially the doctrine that the church replaced Israel and became the spiritual Israel based upon the new covenant replacing the old covenant and changing hands so to speak. This theology along with others has been one of the biggest sources of persecution of the Jewish people.
Quite a lot of theologians held this view a century ago. After the nation of Israel was reestablished a lot of theologians started to rethink their theology after realizing that God had not forsaken his ancient people and prophecy was again being literaly fulfilled. The Apostle Paul said that God would again graft back the natural olive branch and that the church would be one new man.
Replacement theology in my opinion is not biblical.
