Why Israel Podcast I Did The Church Replace Israel?

In this bold and theologically charged conversation, we tackle one of the most controversial questions in modern Christian theology:

Has God rejected Israel… or replaced her with the Church?

Dr. Seth Postell dives deep into the heart of Scripture to confront Replacement Theology (Supersessionism) and its modern rebranding as “Fulfillment Theology,” exposing why these views struggle to survive a careful reading of Romans 9–11.

Together, we explore:

📖 Replacement Theology vs. the Bible – why the idea that the Church has replaced Israel is so widespread in evangelical scholarship

💔 Paul’s anguish for Israel – why Paul weeps for his people in the present tense while affirming that the covenants and promises still belong to them

🕊️ Romans 9–11 unpacked – how election, grace, and promise dismantle supersessionism from within Paul’s own argument

🌿 “All Israel Will Be Saved” – what Paul actually means in Romans 11 and how this points to a future, national turning of Israel to Yeshua

🔥 Israel as “beloved enemies” – how Israel can be enemies of the gospel for the sake of the nations, yet still beloved for the sake of the fathers

🪵 The irrevocable gifts of God – why God’s faithfulness to Israel safeguards the gospel itself

🌍 Gentiles and Israel together – how Israel’s temporary stumbling opened the door to global salvation without canceling God’s promises to the Jewish people

📜 Zechariah 12 and the pierced Messiah – the prophetic hope of Israel’s future repentance and restoration

Dr. Postell shows that the real issue is not whether Gentiles are included in God’s plan (they are!), but whether God keeps His word. If God can redefine, revoke, or replace His promises to Israel, what does that mean for the security of salvation for anyone?

If you’ve ever wrestled with:

Does the Church replace Israel?

What does “the Israel of God” really mean?

Why does Paul say Israel still has the covenants even in unbelief?

How does Israel’s future salvation fit with the gospel?

Why does this debate matter for theology, prophecy, and the faithfulness of God?

This episode will challenge assumptions, clarify Scripture, and reshape how you read Romans, the gospel, and God’s redemptive plan from Genesis to the end of the age.
