Amillennialism teaches that the church is the spiritual Israel of God and is a distinct entity from the nation of Israel (Romans 9:6-8).

So, the question I have for those who think Amill teaches "replacement theology", tell me what that means exactly. Who do we have being replaced and who replaces them?

We believe that the new covenant replaced the old covenant because scripture clearly teaches that (Hebrews 8:6-13, Hebrews 10:1-10). But, I know that is not what you mean when you say we believe in "replacement theology". What people normally mean when they refer to "replacement theology" is that it refers to the belief that the church replaces Israel. But, that's not what Amillennialism teaches. It teaches that the church is the Israel of God (Galatians 6:15-16) and is distinct from the nation of Israel and does not replace it. Gentile believers are brought into the church and are joined together as one body with Jewish believers and no one is replaced (Ephesians 2:11-22).

Good question. The usual silence from the fake news maligners.

The silence shows that they just like to make unfounded accusations. It's dishonest and evil. They do it just to stir things up and make trouble and to divert attention away from their false doctrine. When they are challenged and asked to back up those accusations, they suddenly turn quiet.

Agree. But, we have to constantly deal with false accusations from some Premills like this. They waste so much time making straw man arguments against Amill. I'd say at least 75% of the time they debate with us, they misrepresent our view. They get so proud of themselves while thinking they won the debate when all they have done is won an argument with their straw man. They'll think "See, we showed that replacement theology is not true, so Amill can't be true!". Yet, we Amills agree that replacement theology is not true. It's ridiculous.

You don't get it, God made a covenant with Abraham and he still hasn't fulfilled it, the Jews were brought back into the Holy land in 1948 as God promised, they will soon see a temple built at the return of Jesus Christ where Jesus will sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem, as animal sacrifice will be resumed by the newly recognized Levitical Preisthood, Jesus will reign upon this throne for 1,000 years as the Jews rule Jerusalem and the world for 1,000 years

God bless the Nation of Israel, and God's chosen people the Jews, How dare you try to replace the Nation of Israel and God's chosen people the Jews "beware"!

LOL. I caught your sarcasm this time. Not going to be fooled by that again. Good one.
