  • Why the Church should reject Replacement Theology

  • Replacement Theology is gaining traction within the Church, especially following the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, forcing many to reconsider their stance on Israel’s role in God’s plan.

Romans 11:26 states, “all Israel will be saved,” yet many Replacement Theology advocates ignore this.

As Christians, we must trust God’s word over modern interpretations that deny Israel’s biblical significance. Click here to read more.
