Bible Question:
BJH, You said "Others say 'No' but the church is Israel. By this statement do you mean that some say the church replaced Israel, some say it has not replaced Israel but that the church IS Israel? Please clarify. Thanks, MJH |
Bible Answer: Sorry about that... Some say that the Israel of the Old Testament and the Church of the New Testament are one group. They would say that the Church is Israel. Others say that because of the Jews' (Israel's) rejection of the Messiah, they have been displaced (rather than "replaced") for a time as God's people. Yet, one day God will deal with the Jews (Israel) again. |
