Israel’s Role in Salvation
Israel’s Role in Salvation
Romans 11:25–26 (NET 2nd ed.)
For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion; he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
Supersessionism is the traditional Christian belief that Christianity is the fulfillment of Biblical Judaism, and therefore that Jews who deny that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah fall short of their calling as God's Chosen people.
Supersessionism, in its more radical form, maintains that the Jews are no longer considered to be God's Chosen people in any sense. This understanding is generally termed "replacement theology."
In recent times, the doctrine of supersessionism has been blamed for mistreatment of the Jews in the past. (Anti-Semitism)
Some liberal Protestant groups have therefore formally renounced supersessionism, affirming that Jews and other non-Christians have a valid way to find God within their own faith, which breaks from historic Protestant teaching.
Ignorance of Israel’s role in salvation can lead to (Here is the insight):
Anti-Semitism
Christian Pride
Syncretism
